In the last days something strange happened to my grandmother. She lives at the Ashram and has her room at the ground floor so she doesn’t have to walk any stairs. She likes to sit out in the sun during the day and sometimes she also goes to join my mother with preparations for the food. During midday she is used to have a nap.
In the last days when she came back into her room after being out for some time she saw that her bed sheet and blanket were wet. Not soaking wet but there was water like sprinkled over some parts of the bed. We and she were wondering very much how that could happen. We looked if water was dripping from the ceiling or from the fan but there was nothing. We thought someone must put water onto her bed but why would anybody at the Ashram do that? We did not have any answer so we just decided to watch how often it will happen.
Today when Naniji, our grandmother, was sleeping and we were sitting in the office and were working we saw through the window how Suraj was playing outside in the garden. In the midday time the Ashram is often a little bit more quiet because many are taking a break or a nap.
So Suraj was playing out there and we saw him grab a piece of earth, pick it up and walk towards Naniji’s door. Having arrived there he turned and looked in all directions if anybody was watching him. When he thought he was unwatched, he put down the earth, broke it into small pieces and dust and started putting it under Naniji’s door. He did a lot of effort to make sure that all earth went into the room, then got up, cleaned his hands on his pants and ran away, off to new adventures. We were standing at the window and were laughing so hard that our stomachs started aching. Well, we were sure that it was not any ghost who put that earth into Naniji’s room!

Real healing power is in each of you yourself. The right time, the right company, a loving touch, a hug and sharing words and emotions with the right person can help your healing process
SourceStrangely enough, communication works better with different culture and language!
SourceAtheists identify themselves with the fact that they don’t believe in any god. They have the principle of not believing – but believing that there is no god is also a belief.
SourceLove can exist without sex but sex has to be with love.
SourceI love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.
SourceBe your own master. We have enough to do with mastering ourselves and don’t need anybody else whom we can master.
SourceNo culture or country is perfect - don't feel offended by criticism!
SourceTeach your children that there is nothing wrong if you get wrinkles when you get older and that grey hair doesn’t take any of your beauty. Teach them to love themselves. Help them feel good in their body just as it is.
SourceNobody knows what will happen in the future. If we knew what would happen tomorrow, the whole mystery, the adventure, the surprise and the beauty of life would be gone!
SourceA prayer is a way of getting closer to God. So it is good to pray, but it should be out of love, not because you have to pray. Pray with your heart.
SourceIf you experience something, don’t be shy to change your opinion, even if it is the opposite of what you thought before. Change if you believe it is necessary to change, otherwise it will cost you your happiness. If you change when it is right to change, you will see that new doors open for a better future.
SourceNever give up and never lose hope. You can always make a change.
SourceMany people think of God as a very distant, unreachable power. For them God is not close and their prayers are very formal. A prayer is something special and can be in many forms, not only certain words. But you need closeness, your heart should be in your prayer.
SourceWhy are holy religious scriptures full of violence and blood?
SourceIt is nothing new that this society is focused on money. It is nothing new that the masses don’t care about the individual. But what about you? Why are you playing along?
SourceHow should you be able to tell me about my dharma, about what I accept in my life? Everybody has his own dharma. Who are you to tell me about my way of life?
SourcePeople often say and do things that they don’t believe in. How long can you play such a drama? You have to live in your original consciousness.
SourceLearn being together in silence. Words often do not really express who we are. Express yourself in silence and you will see how much more you can express!
SourceThe idea of sex with the guru is fascinating - it is sex in a spiritual wrapper.
SourceYou are what you eat. If you eat meat, you take the animal's energy into your body and thus people become more and more like animals.
