If you are not satisfied you can never be happy. It is so important. If you are not satisfied you can never be in peace. Satisfaction is a big treasure. It does not depend on material wealth. I know millionaires who are never satisfied and very simple people who are very satisfied. I am talking about being satisfied with life, with your situation in life. But in one way I would like to be eternally unsatisfied: I always want to go deeper and deeper into love, want to increase this feeling. It is joy to be unsatisfied in this.

Becoming satisfied is simple- stop wanting more. what you have is not bad. in fact there is beauty that another person can see in what you have. Satisfaction is there for you to choose to view. Choose it.

Satisfaction is something never taught, we are taught to be unsatisfied and look for more, always looking for more, but what does satisfaction even look like? I personal do not know.

I never thought about it that way before. Satisfaction... I always thought happiness was finding some kind of "zen" amidst the fact that you can never be satisfied.

When I feel very resistant to my situation or circumstance I have a "conversation" of sorts with myself that helps me: If you don't mind your circumstances how can they make you suffer? Saying yes to your circumstances changes everything. If you do not resist what comes (and of course whatever comes comes and no amount of thinking will change this)how can it harm you? Maybe your bike is stolen. Okay, so now you do not have a bike. Perhaps there is something you can do about this. Perhaps someone saw who took the bike and knows where they live and you can go to their home and ask for it back. And then perhaps you will have your bike back. Okay so now you have a bike. Saying yes to your circumstances is not about being a moral person. If you feel that is your motive you may not be saying "yes,". Saying yes is about your joy. Does it make sense to say no to something that has happened? It has happened. To say "no this cannot happen," is insane. There might be something you can do to change a circumstance and that is fine too. Why not! Haha.

Is spirituality something that you can learn, like mathematics or commerce? Don’t you think that being in love and living with honesty is true spirituality?
SourceSwami means master or owner and I believe that I did not give any religion or guru the ownership of myself. I am my own master and owner and in this way I believe there is nothing wrong if I keep the ‘Swami’ in front of my name. And if you are free from any foreign master, I would not object if you did the same.
SourceDon’t play a role but simply be yourself. Take off any mask that you might have been wearing because of someone’s expectation.
SourceWhen you expect your daughter- or son-in-law to be the same like you, you don’t even give the possibility and freedom to this fresh couple to develop that healthy relationship coming out of two different cultures.
SourceI only follow one rule: Break one rule daily. And I believe that we need to get rid of all other rules if we want to live free and with open heart.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if people stop giving false comfort to others using his name.
SourceLong-term partners or married couples: feelings are more important than a paper or rituals!
SourceFall in love often. And not only with people, no, fall in love with a smell, fall in love with a colour, love the moment. Love the way how a person talks, love how friendly your neighbour is, love it that your body feels healthy. This will help you to live in a positive way.
SourceIt is a funny western idea that you need to have a bad mood, at least from time to time!
SourceReligion was founded when people started creating rules around that power called ‘God’ with which they could make people afraid and manipulate them. They defined ‘their god’ and split the population of the world in different groups.
SourceWe all have to be like children. We need to find our inner child which is innocent and has the freedom to express.
SourceThere are no Siddhis or supernatural powers. I challenge anybody to show me those powers and their effect, good or bad. Can you tell me the lottery numbers or can you kill me only by the force of your mind? Try it.
SourceNot every religious person is a criminal but many criminal people are religious.
SourceHuman traded his sensitivity for a modern lifestyle.
SourceReligion was cruel in the past and is still at present!
SourceYou have to make the decision to love everybody. You have to have the decision to have love in yourself. This is the decision. And then love for the universe will flow naturally.
SourceReligion is outdated from today’s point of view because we have found the answers to the questions due to which religion was created in the first place! Only manipulation and fear is left together with ancient, bloody scriptures – so you should leave religion and it should be buried as a relic of the past.
SourceIsn’t it crazy how religion is often only a way to manipulate people? Just tell people often enough that something is God’s wish and they will believe it!
SourceNever skip a reason for a celebration!
SourceThere is no plan and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We can take our decisions and have to take our responsibility for the consequences. Nobody knows before what will happen if you go one way or the other.
