Category: Happiness
I am very happy these days. Life is just beautiful and although it is raining outside, the sun is shining here in this house. It was a nice time again in Luneburg with my friends Michael and Andrea. It is now the last evening here because tomorrow morning we will start with the train to Copenhagen. We are looking forward to that, too. You need to have happiness and love in your life, you need to feel the charm in everything.
I know that there are sometimes people who seem to feel bad whenever you feel good, people who cannot be happy with you but who try to make you feel bad with them. Actually it is their own unhappiness and the belief that they are in a bad situation. They feel bad and miserable and want to have company in that. Of course when someone feels good, they will feel more miserable seeing that! They envy happiness of others instead of realizing that they have their own happiness just in their reach.
But I am happy, we are happy and enjoying life and love with whatever it brings.

Would you agree that happiness is a decision that people make when they wake up in them morning, it isn't something that simply comes upon you, but you decided to be depressed, decide to be angry, choose to wear a frown or a smile. I personally choose to be happy simply because life is so much more pleasant and people are happy around you when you are happy.

It is hard to be around people who envy your happiness and want to bring you down. You can try to cheer them up, but sometimes they don't want to change the way they feel. In that case, I think it's good to get some space from them. Their energy may spoil your good vibe and they aren't particularly enjoying your good vibe anyway! So go enjoy yourself and reconnect with that person later. Life is too short to have our good moods be spoiled by others.

What a splendid photo. You and Romona look as happy as ever. I want to thank you for the time on the Ashram. My husband and I learned a lot from being with your family and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Some people use anger and accusation to bring you down. Others use sadness and despair. I think it both cases the unhappy people are just trying to make sense of life. They think "life is misery" so they make other people miserable in order to help their lives make sense in their own minds. It is a dangerous cycle to be caught in. Sometimes, if a personal can be happy amidst the misery of others it can help them think twice about the sense of the cycle they are creating. But creating misery is much easier, it makes more sense to many more people. Be happy. it is not something you necessarily work towards, it is something you are or are not in a particular moment.

You cannot love God purely, there will either be fear or greed. Parents install these feelings related to God. God sees if you are a bad child! Don’t lie or fight with others, God knows everything! If you want to achieve something, be good and do what God says! Parents use God for their education – either threatening with him or promising that he would reward you.
SourceDon't take everyone else's responsibility on your own shoulders! You cannot take it for long, your shoulders are not made for that! Be happy, that will help others and yourself!
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.
SourceArranged marriage means that I have to cope with you – but I cannot bear your family!
SourceSoul is energy, the life in someone, our basic element, which moves us and keeps us alive. When there is no love in a relationship, we say it is dead. When there is no business in a company we say it is dead. Whenever the basic element of something is gone, we call it dead. When our basic element is gone, we are dead. And our soul is our basic element.
SourceIf someone refuses to change while you yourself are developing, it can happen that you grow apart. At that point of life, you meet new people who can go along with your new view on the world. It is fine and a part of the change which we accepted in our lives.
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.
SourceMen wrote the scriptures saying that women should grieve forever once they are dead. For themselves there is no such rule. They would not have put anything in the scriptures that would cause them a disadvantage!
Source‘You should not judge’ is often used by masters and Gurus to keep their disciples and followers from questioning what they are doing.
SourceReligion keeps people under control by creating a feeling of guilt and having sinned. That is why they always promote that you cannot be 100% happy with yourself and your life.
SourcePeople have to develop their consciousness and stop killing animals to fill their stomach. They have a soul like us and god is in them, too.
SourceThe thought of independence and freedom made people lonely.
SourceA friend is someone who lends you his shoulder and is standing with you in every situation.
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.
SourceWith an arranged marriage you get a place in the other person’s life but the question remains if you get a place in his or her heart. That cannot be arranged!
SourceHow can all those Swamis and Gurus give liberation of attachment to material when they themselves are so attached to gold and money?
SourceOnce you have lit the fire of love, you need fuel to keep it alive. Trust is the fuel for love.
SourceWe need to stop religion from spreading the superstition that there could be a ghost or spirit possessing a person.
SourceThe words ‘followers’, ‘disciples’ or ‘devotees’ give much room for abuse of the relationship to a guru.
SourceDo you think of meditation as a competition? Whoever can sit in meditation the longest is the winner! That person is closer to enlightenment than all others or has even already reached enlightenment! Those who cannot sit still for even half an hour are beginners, losers, materialists and very non-spiritual people!
