You can never Reach the Master and always be Smaller than him - 11 Aug 09

Food for a day

Many times we have a Darshan in the beginning of the program at one place so that people can come in a group and can just get to know me and my ideas as well as my energy. And after that some decide that they would like to come for an individual healing session. I am happy when they then tell me that they came for certain reasons, for example because they felt that I am not a Guru, but that I can be a helping friend for them.

One woman told me that she had been and studied with many masters and Gurus, always looking for something. She said that all of them taught her that she can be a good follower but nothing more. She learned that she will never be a master herself, never be complete. The goal is to reach a higher level of consciousness through the help of the master but the master said: Even if you reach to a higher level, I will always be some levels higher than you! What does that mean? Then you will always be small, will never be satisfied and happy with who you are. And you can never talk to this person as a friend. I imagine that the life of this master must be very lonely. He might have many disciples but he will never be able just to give them a friendly hug.

I enjoy my life so much because I am free to be wherever I want to be, talk to whoever I want to talk to and to give my love to whomever I wish to. You are yourself a master. You don’t need any disciple for that, just follow your feelings, you are creator of your world. If you want to be and stay small you can, but you can also realize your strength and see that we are all human, all the same. There is one love and one god for all of us.

Today is our friend’s Su’s birthday and the children celebrated for her with a good lunch. Click here to see pictures of today's food for a day

Words of Wisdom

  • Judging

    If you made it your habit not to ever judge anything and anybody, you would get psychological problems as you would not be able to make independent decisions on your own and would never know which way to go.

    Source
  • Yoga

    Yoga is only yoga. Without any tradition’s name in front or behind. People have to understand the essence, the real meaning of yoga which is not any specific style and not only physical exercise.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Sometimes need to let someone go who does not want to be around you anymore and with whom you cannot share your way anymore. It can happen that these relations get stronger again after some time. Try not to poison a relation. If it doesn’t work, quit quietly. If you can, don’t create bitterness in between you.

    Source
  • Belief

    Whatever your belief is, give your child as much freedom as possible to decide on his own. If you force a child into one belief, you don’t give its mind the possibility to develop in its own way.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Hindu scriptures say that a woman always needs protection. First by her father and her brothers, then by her husband and finally by her son. This makes women weaker and worth less - injustice of religion!

    Source
  • Children

    Don't buy in shops where you see children working. Ask the shop owner, get him to think about it and let him know you don’t buy there because of the child he has employed.

    Source
  • Love

    Scriptures are wrong saying loving God is divine and loving your family is attachment.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    People say scriptures cannot be changed. Okay, but then why do you need to follow them?

    Source
  • Belief

    Learning science as a subject in school or university is one thing but keeping a scientific point of view and attitude is another one. People can be highly educated but belief in superstition makes them educated fools.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Bad luck or good luck are simply a manipulation of your mind, a psychological effect for those who believe in it.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religious preaching is a performing art, not a divine act.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Physical closeness is the key for successful relationships.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Don't try to control everything!

    Source
  • Expectations

    Indians have too many expectations on their women!

    Source
  • Happiness

    Unhappy? Not satisfied? A change of Perception might help! Life is beautiful, you just need to see it from the right place!

    Source
  • Religion

    Isn’t it strange that it is offending if a normal person shows his genitals in public while religious men get worldwide fame for it?

    Source
  • Life

    Nobody 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!

    Source
  • Sex

    If someone rapes a girl, how come her honour is gone? It should be the other way around! He loses his honour by doing this crime!

    Source
  • Healing

    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

    Source
  • Acceptance

    If someone cannot accept you how you are, how can they love you? And then, why do you need to worry about what they think? We do not accept others as they are and we do not accept ourselves as we are. And then we struggle.
