Category: Identity
I often see people who do not live their emotions as they are. I have also written a lot about this. Mostly you can see in their body language, their talk and their behavior, that they are in some way artificial. And they are living so much in this artificial behavior that it becomes their permanent way of acting. It seems that they are playing a role in a theatre but their whole life is this theatre. It often seems exaggerated and for me it feels sometimes very formal. But I also see that for them it seems natural what they are doing. They live in this way and this acting has become usual because they do it all the time.
Maybe it is a cultural difference or maybe I am just not used to this. I just want to be how I am and it feels unnatural when I see and observe this kind of behavior. I believe this happens when you play a certain role. It will not happen if you live your own personality. If a sixty years old person plays the role of a twenty years old, or if a twenty years old person plays the role of a sixty years old, it will look unnatural. Of course with twenty years you can have the maturity of a sixty years old and a sixty years old person can be jolly, happy and have fun like a twenty years old. When it comes naturally it is fully fine, just if you intentionally play this role, it surely looks artificial and you can feel that it is not real. I appreciate it if people live in their originality. This also makes their personality more serious and more real. I like to live just naturally with whatever is there.

You should not put on any act or a play a role. you should be comfortable in being who you are. If you do not act naturally then no-one will know the real you and you will alone and sad. Learn about yourself and be that person.

Identity is a complicated thing for me. I feel like there is lots to find out by observing myself, but also lots to let fall away. I constantly find out more.

I won’t have a problem with your god if he says to his devotees ‘Please follow your religion and devotion at your home, not on the road.’
SourceIf you see the typical lifestyle in the west, it is all about freedom. Freedom there does not usually mean freedom of the mind, of decision and independence of negativity but often means physical distance and financial independence.
SourceYou say something else than you think and feel. And you do something completely different. You don’t do what you think and you don’t think what you say. You don’t say what you do and you don’t do what you say. These three things are separate from each other although they should be same: our inside, our thoughts and feelings, our talk and our actions.
SourceWhen you change yourself, things start changing around you. It works!
SourceDon’t fight after breaking up! The other one is someone whom you once loved!
SourceCorruption in religion is worst because the most corrupt people there show themselves as the purest of ideals that everyone else should follow.
SourceIs this not a funny attitude that some hours of bad mood have to exist in one day, too?
SourceDon’t be afraid, there are no such things as Siddhis! Speak out without fear and don’t let gurus cheat more people by claiming to have supernatural powers!
SourceHow much would Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras 3000 years ago, charge you for becoming his franchisee and using his name and Sutras?
SourceLife teaches every human. Let it teach your child, too! You are there for bigger problems, decisions and topics, you can protect when it is really necessary, but let your child face circumstances of life in which it learns of life. How will it learn otherwise?
SourceIf you have befriended someone because of a reason, when those reasons are gone, your friendship has no meaning anymore.
SourceThe explanation of why healing works is not important. Important is your experience.
SourceYou need to learn to be happy and satisfied. You should be healthy and feel happy and good with your body.
SourceI don’t tell you what you should believe or that you should follow me. I am just a normal person like you and everyone else whose thinking is influenced by his surrounding and the events happening around him.
SourceIt is your own decision how you want to spend your life. You can live a true and honest life. Take your decision and have the courage!
SourceNo difference in faith and superstition - lose the faith in your faith!
SourceDon't eat while walking. Can't you take ten minutes to sit down and eat consciously? You are not just filling a garbage box, it is your body!
SourceReligion fools people and then forbids them to ask questions - so that they blindly believe what is written in scriptures and taught by religious preachers.
SourceDharma is not religion. Dharma is the tasks that I want to do from my heart, not something that I have to do because I was born to Hindu parents.
SourceA lot of doctors close their practices on Thursday due to superstition! People and doctors both think a doctor's visit on a Thursday means another doctor's visit later! They study, they learned a lot of science and they know about the body, its diseases and cures – but that does not keep them from believing that Thursdays are bad days!
