A young woman of the age of 25 came to me today. She told me happily that she is in a relationship since 10 years and now she is pregnant. It was so beautiful to see, hear and feel this. It is very rare that I hear of a long-lasting relationship here and especially in this young age. It makes me happy to see this love and I gave my best wishes and blessings for all three of them!
Actually most of the people are missing something inside themselves. This is a reason for sticking to rules like I explained yesterday. People here in the west are searching for security and love. They are longing for something. There is a lot of confusion with so many different therapies, traditions and philosophies and many of them have their origin in India. There are many things wrongly understood and in the way abused that I described in the last days. However I see that things went wrong when people came from India to the Western world and started changing the ancient and holy traditions of our culture to manipulate minds in order to serve their own purpose. India is a spiritual country with a great culture. I want to ask these Gurus who come here not to do this wrong business. Give people an insight in our culture without abusing and misguiding them. It destroys your reputation and India's reputation. Save your own culture! Many things are sold here with the name of spirituality and yoga. Names and labels were brought from India. This casts a damning light on the wonderful country and our culture. When someone is searching, longing and looking for something, do not use this for making money. Offer him a genuine solution, give him advice if he asks you for it, be honest and just spread your love. It is wonderful if you can help people in a way which makes them happy for a long time.

I agree so much of the world simply wants to make money and they are willing to take advantage of those who are desperate in search for something. To be honest it makes a person distrustful and in the end we stop seeking all together and we lose hope in humanity. And this is all thanks to a few people who stain the reputation while others are honest...it is indeed a sad thing.

it is rare for me to hear of long lasting relationships as well. It makes me sad to see my friends around me keep fumbling around when I know they want to make it last between them and another. I am truly blessed to have Miley in my life. I wish happiness to everyone, and merry Christmas.

That's really sweet. My girlfriend and I are trying to get pregnant too. Takes time and love- so rewarding.

I know someone like that, Married their first boyfriend at a very young age and they are really happy together. It is so strange when that happens. It's a shame that it's so strange.

Don't like your job? - Change it or start liking it!
SourceWomen are taught that their guru is God. You do what God says and whatever God says is right and has a deeper meaning. If God asks you to touch his genitals or if he kisses you, there will be a reason. Some gurus even told their favourite female disciples that they were the chosen ones who will receive enlightenment the fastest.
SourceTrust in yourself and have confidence. You don't need anyone who makes you afraid with stories of a past life or makes promises for the future. Live in presence and have trust in your love.
SourceThis is what modern society teaches people for their work: You are good if you are the best. You are good if you are the number one. If you are in the higher range, your ego gets artificially boosted so that you perform even better, bringing even more income and profit to the company.
SourceIf you only ate when you were hungry, you would never have a problem with obesity. Adults and also children get hungry naturally. Don’t eat and don’t let them eat for their entertainment, from boredom or from hunger in their thoughts and eyes.
SourceFind your meaning of life and be happy. That is what I call spirituality.
SourceAtheists have done something that is not very different from what Buddha has done – they formed just another group with a different belief, the belief that there is no god.
SourceThere are some things that are stable through all changes of life and your love is one of them.
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.
SourceSuperstitious people lose a big part of their freedom! They cannot take any decision on their own but have kept their minds a prison of their superstition! They have sold their intelligence to this nonsense! They could be so much happier in their lives without superstition!
SourceDon’t value everything with money. If you give, give generously without expectation. If you get something, appreciate it with your heart, not with your purse.
SourceWestern culture is not responsible for sex, alcohol and gambling problems in India!
SourceIf God is omnipotent, why can he not provide a non-violent solution? Why does he have to kill? Could he not, with one blink of the eye, make peace on earth?
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he makes clear that poverty, hunger, war and rape is not happening by his wish.
SourceIf you know that something is impossible but you still believe, you either want to close your eyes from reality or you are stupid. You will keep on cheating yourself and others - or will end up disappointed!
SourceDevotees are told to be humble, surrender, finish their ego and do what their guru says - he will take care of your Karma account so you have to give him all rights to it. Easy but so dangerous!
SourceMake one meal a day a meeting point, a ritual for the whole family together.
SourceTurn your desire into love, on the path of devotion. Surrender yourself and you will see how desires get less. In this way desire is transformed and purified.
SourcePeople usually don’t lie because they want to harm someone but to hide their thoughts, to hide their feelings, shortly to hide themselves. It is one of the greatest problems that a person can have: low self-esteem.
SourceThe karma philosophy makes it easy to escape responsibility!
