Category: Happiness
Today we had the first Darshan in Schwabmünchen. Of course I explained again that the participants should open their hearts and express their feelings. We live our lives for others, worry about their expectations and thus create a lot of problems for ourselves. We make our life much more complicated than it really is. There are also people who live life in an easy way. They are more themselves and you can see this in their whole lifestyle. They eat when they are hungry, not just because it is time for a meal. They sleep when they are sleepy and they wake up and are relaxed because their subconscious mind was not busy in solving problems. They are happier, healthier and mentally more stable. They do not need doctors or psychiatrists.
People grown up in this society sometimes even get afraid when they think of this easy way of living. They need problems, they want to have problems! Their conviction is that life has to be difficult. However when you realize that you are creating the problems for yourself you can get rid of them. Be yourself and don’t always think so much about other people’s ideas and expectations. Life can be easy! Live in love and laugh!

I have been known to push myself to work really hard at times and take things seriously. It becomes very stressful and uneasy. It's a good reminder that your perspective can change everything. By taking breaks, going with the flow, and seeing things from the bigger picture... life becomes easier. It's not always easy to get into this mindset, but having the reminder helps!

Well I'm glad to see everyone else who posted here thinks it's easy but... I don't.

Life can always feel easy! For me at least, it is just a matter of perspective.

My profession keeps me very busy. Even on my way to work I'm usually on the phone doing business. My mind gets just as busy as my body and I fear that I'll be less productive if I allow it to relax. But I think I am learning that the business of my mind hinders my work and that I can relax without slowing down.

Different cultural background creates different perceptions of how children should be.
SourceTake out time for your friends - it makes you and them happy!
SourceIt is difficult to believe in a God who sits in heaven, whom you cannot see, who doesn’t talk to you, whom you cannot touch, who is adorned with silver and gold in the temples and decorated with flowers, who sometimes gets stolen by thieves, which he cannot do anything about. If he cannot protect himself, how would he protect you?
SourceChildren and teenagers need a balance of control and freedom.
SourceDoctors in India often have signs against evil energies at the main entrance door of their practices. In hospitals there are signs saying ‘We serve, he cures’. Many doctors don’t work on Thursdays, as they believe it is a bad day for people to go to the doctor – they might have to come back, because actions on Thursdays always are repeated. Superstitious people even make medicine a question of superstition!
SourceIt is good to unfriend or block those who don’t have friendly feelings for you because each time they read any of your posts, they get more annoyed and angry. Save them from anger and bad feelings, don’t spoil their mood and day. Indeed, it is a good deed. :)
SourceGive value to your relations and the people around you. See and feel their love and love them back. Store their love in your heart. Care for friendship, care for your relations, care for love.
SourceHow could you, by writing a few lines or talking a few minutes, erase ideas which have been created over the course of many years or were learned while growing up? Change takes place only when a person is ready and really wants to.
SourceIn my relationship I want to give the command of my life and my heart to the one I love. Now you can guide me because I know you, I trust you, in your love, you will do best for me.
SourceWe all should be more open towards others and take life easy.
SourceScare your fear away by being alive.
SourcePriests and organizers are like agents. religion is their business and images of gurus and icons are their products. They have to sell something and get income to make their living and if they can attract people to buy at their tents by selling those pictures, it is fine for them. It is human worship and it is wrong.
SourceEating is fun, no doubt, but it is not fun anymore when it becomes a habit.
SourceNobody in the world can tell the future.
SourceDoes a soul get more comfort by expensive rituals after death?
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.
SourceA successful relationship comes from devotion, not from ego and expectations. Leave your expectations behind and accept and respect the other one. In order to accept, respect and love in a relationship, you definitely need to accept, respect and love yourself.
SourceReligion is a dictatorship with inflexible outdated laws.
SourceSome people who believe in reincarnation neglect their own responsibilities. There is always a very convenient excuse: that happens because of my past life!
SourceWhen we grow up we are taught that we should be careful whom we trust. So how could it be right to have faith in God, someone whom you never even met? Sometimes you even doubt whether he exists at all! So is it really a great idea to have faith in such a person?
