Yesterday I said that happiness is the best worship of god. And this is what I also want to do. I think I am quite successful in that. I feel that I am a happy person and sometimes of course other emotions and feelings also come because I am just a normal human person. But I try not to live long with them and my true nature is happy.
I often feel that people lose their happiness in the effort for keeping others happy but from my whole life experience I have no problem to say that it is impossible to keep everybody happy. Mostly it is not your fault. This is because everybody has their own ego and that will clash with each other.
When some are happy there are always some people who are not. But it is their problem, not yours. And even if you try to make everybody happy, at the end you might hear others say you are like a politician. They could say you are not honest because you try to keep everyone happy and do what they want.
My suggestion is, instead of trying to make others happy, try to make yourself happy and do what makes you happy without worrying about making the whole world happy. That will be great and you will have a bigger chance to make everyone happy if you are happy and don’t try to make everyone happy. People will see you happy and will become happy.

Some people have the ego to think of themselves as God and want to have their picture, their shoes, a picture of their feet or even statues of themselves on altars.
SourceAddiction is mainly a question of the mind. People can spend half a day on a flight without any cigarette but on the ground they cannot survive an evening without smoking. If you can spend half a day without it, it is also possible a full day, a week, a month, a year or the rest of your life. It is a question of the mind and the determination.
SourceIt is a problem that religion tells in scriptures and culture shows practically that girls should be treated differently than boys. Girls are not as wanted as boys, you get congratulations when you gave birth to a boy while you get looks and words of pity when it is a girl.
SourceYou are more than a body and not only your body. People should love you not because of your body. Your real freedom would be if you did not use your body as a medium to attract people’s attention.
SourceDon'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.
SourceBe aware while cooking and eating that you are doing something important. Love your food and don't waste it.
SourceTake a step to make relations closer: call the other one your Friend!
SourceAll is a game of necessity in this world. If you feel a person or place doesn’t need you, leave it immediately and reach somewhere where you are needed. Never leave those who need you. If you want to be happy and respected, become necessary and useful.
SourceOnly a rapist mentality blames rape victims for their clothing and behaviour!
SourceLet your sons and daughters take their own decisions and carry the consequences. Don’t control every little detail but let them get the taste of being adult.
SourceIf 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!
SourceBreaking with someone causes pain, hurts and makes people feel bad. If there is any way to avoid it, please do.
SourceHuman created God and had the wish for him to be the creator of this world.
SourceReal Sadhus have fully renounced from worldly life and don’t ask money of tourists!
SourceHuman always wants to believe what is suitable and comfortable for them.
SourceHow can all those Swamis and Gurus give liberation of attachment to material when they themselves are so attached to gold and money?
SourceThere is a difference in between friends and customers. Customers want something from you. Friends want you.
SourceIt is wrong if a guru is not only a person to learn from but someone to worship. When people put pictures of the guru onto their altars and pray for them, when followers wash the feet of the guru and then drink the water, when gurus have their statues made and sell them and when scriptures tell people that they can only be liberated if they have a guru.
SourceBe your own master. We have enough to do with mastering ourselves and don’t need anybody else whom we can master.
SourceIf you always only think of the happiness of others, you forget your own happiness. When you have established your own happiness with what you do and with who you are, when you accept your heart, your personality and your own life, then you can help others to find their happiness.
