Category: Honesty
honesty is also a very important factor for true healing. There it is especially the honesty with yourself. Of course, because you always are at first dishonest with yourself and then with the other one. It is a decision to lie, not to tell or to hide the truth. You first take the decision and this is the point where you are already dishonest. And when you say the lie you are already one step further.
There are many problems that we actually generate simply by not being honest. Dishonest people cannot sit quiet. They are restless. They always need something to do because sitting quiet would mean for them that they have to think about their lies and everything that they need to take care about. It is actually not difficult to be honest, it is more difficult to be dishonest because you always have to think about what you are saying to whom, what you told them before and how you presented yourself before. If you were dishonest once and you don’t want to look dishonest, you need to keep up the lies and pretending. And if you then sit down and just want to relax, all things will come into your mind that might go wrong, where you maybe said something else than before, where the other one could maybe feel that you were dishonest before.
Dishonesty brings restlessness and much stress and pressure. This stress can result in different mental, emotional and even physical problems. This is why I say you first of all have to be honest. When you achieve this, you will realize how stress and pressure is reduced and you will feel how healing takes place. I believe in living honestly and I have nothing to hide. I think this is the easiest way to live because I don’t have any worry that someone will find out about any secrets or lies. I can say whatever I feel, just freely.
We had a wonderful dinner with many great people again! I love eating with many people and enjoying these great moments of eating together.

This is so true, Swami. It takes tons of energy to contain and organize all your lies... you have to worry about getting caught in a lie and it causes much stress. And how silly! Why not just be who you are? You don't have to tell everyone everything about yourself... but you don't need to make things up either! It's always weird when you find out that someone is a frequent liar. It makes them feel worse about you than if they just knew the truth about you in the first place!

I have a friend who lies a lot when stressed. He makes himself more and more aggrevated the more he lies, adds to the stress, can't scape until he's one of the most unbearable people to be with. All you have to do is calm him down and he's wonderful.

I am bookmarking this entry in order to read it on a regular basis; maybe I will read it each morning when I wake up and each night before I close my eyes. I usually fall asleep reading a book and do not have a clear mind when I finally close my eyes. I am looking forward to reading this instead. It makes me feel very clear.

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. :)
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.
SourcePerfectionism is perfect if there is no comparison.
SourceDon’t be afraid to act differently. It won’t make you an outsider if those around you really love you. You have to be honest in order to feel good about yourself.
SourceWe are mostly happy when we take but true happiness is when you enjoy giving.
SourceLearning 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.
SourceEven if your thoughts do not match, you can still be friends. Even if you disagree in a hundred of points, you can be friends. You need to agree at least on this one point though: you trust each other and have love for each other.

SourceIt is not necessary to believe in the truth for it to be real. Fire for example will burn, if you believe it or not.
SourcePlease don't live with a different identity. The creation is wonderful as it is, accept that. If you do not accept god's creation you do not accept your own soul. Stop fighting against your true self! Self-confidence can only come after self-acceptance.
SourceYou invite others to celebrate because you want to share your happiness. It makes you happy when others celebrate your happiness together with you. If you are happy but alone, you cannot really enjoy it. When you are sad, too, and someone is there with whom you can share it, your sadness is reduced. You need closeness so that you have somebody to share your happiness and sadness.
SourceYou need to learn to be happy and satisfied. You should be healthy and feel happy and good with your body.
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.
SourceWhy are holy religious scriptures full of violence and blood?
