Attraction of Love - 15 Feb 10

Food for a day

Two days ago I wrote that our senses easily get attracted to material and we start accumulating all different kinds of things. I said that material and love are both unlimited and I think in this way, too, they are similar: we get attracted by material and our senses also get attracted to love.

We always have the wish to have love, to experience love and to give love. And we are in the same way drawn towards god, who is also unlimited. Enjoying love with our senses is beautiful and being unsatisfied in this is great but how do we deal with our senses when they get attracted to material? We need to control them as we know ourselves that it is wrong to buy more and more and more.

You need a good and strong mind if you want to control your senses and realize in that moment that your senses are leading you the wrong way. The problem is that your mind is very quick and loves to change actively and fast. Grab your mind, keep it under control, then it will not get attracted by material that much.

Today is our friend Noemi’s birthday and we all send her much love and blessings towards Germany!

I love the feeling you get when you are attracted to someone, the smile that gets stuck on your face and the buzzing feeling inside your chest, it is true that all the senses are affected when there is love and attraction.

Words of Wisdom

  • Religion

    Religion 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.

    Source
  • Ego

    There are people who are very impressed when you make your talk complicated and others who like that. They like it complicated because it satisfies their ego to understand it.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Make yourself happy while helping others without expectations.

    Source
  • Knowledge

    The school is the place where you learn how to learn.

    Source
  • Religion

    I love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.

    Source
  • Beauty

    Why do you strive to look the opposite of how you look like? Be yourself and love who you are. Love comes from inside, from the heart and from the soul.

    Source
  • Sex

    Sexual feeling is just innocent and a part of your body. With your body growing, your feelings also get more mature with age.

    Source
  • Gurus

    Cheating gurus play with the greed of religious people who want to believe in superstition. They lure them in, show them their ‘siddhis’ to make them more and more greedy for success or money and actually suck their money out of them. And in this way they themselves get rich, accumulate tons of gold and just make ridiculous amounts of money.

    Source
  • Devotion

    Whatever you do, offer it to God. You are not acting, whatever you do is for God and from God. Put your heart and love in what you do and enjoy doing it.

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    You should have enough confidence in yourself and your actions to know that what you do is right. Do your best, with love and your full effort and you have the possibility to be happy.

    Source
  • Prejudice

    Create your perception with a free mind. Prejudiced ideas of other people's advices can prevent amazing experiences.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Do not make yourself unhappy by comparing too much!

    Source
  • Psychology

    Don't try to control everything!

    Source
  • Lie

    People 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.

    Source
  • Superstition

    In India people believe chicken pox is the anger of a goddess and you cannot do anything against it with medicine – you can only pray and do rituals to appease the goddess.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Bad luck or good luck are simply a manipulation of your mind, a psychological effect for those who believe in it.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Religions explain that women should be obedient, submissive and not displaying or enhancing their beauty, that people of another belief are to be killed, how non-believers would be tortured and how they would suffer before their death and in the afterlife or next life.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion fools people and then forbids them to ask questions - so that they blindly believe what is written in scriptures and taught by religious preachers.

    Source
  • Rituals

    Does a soul get more comfort by expensive rituals after death?

    Source
  • Gurus

    Insecurity and lack of self-confidence makes people search for a guru.
