I do not try to convince anybody to believe what I believe. I simply tell how I feel and what my experience is. Then you can feel yourself. Whatever your belief system says will be right for you. And in this way I have said before that if someone comes to me and tells me that he doesn’t believe in god I do not try to convince him that God exists. I tell him to believe in what he feels because maybe someday he will experience something which makes him believe in God.
Not any belief is good or bad, no person is good or bad and no place is good or bad. If one place is not good for you, there will be somebody who likes the place. Maybe you don’t like a person but maybe that same person is just perfect for someone else. You cannot say anybody is good or bad, it is only your perception. And you don’t need to convince anybody of what you believe in because their belief is just right for them.
We had a very nice last day in Wiesbaden today and a wonderful evening with Thomas, Iris and our friend Pawan and his children. We also packed so that we have everything ready to start tomorrow to Lüneburg to Michael.

Of course you can talk to your friends and family about your concepts and your own philosophy. But in the end, everyone should decide self-reliant what he wants to believe and which religion to choose. Or would you enjoy if someone tells you, that your thoughts are wrong and you have to change them? ;)

When you find yourself wanting to convince someone to adopt your own belief ask yourself why. Do you not feel whole or happy in this moment? Are you looking for something that you feel you don't have?

Men 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!
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!
SourceIt is nothing new that this society is focused on money. It is nothing new that the masses don’t care about the individual. But what about you? Why are you playing along?
SourceKnowledge you can get without limit. But getting knowledge and knowing is something different. You can collect knowledge or you can get to know. There is a difference between talking about love and falling in love.
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.
SourceDon’t bring business talk everywhere. Stop it, at the latest when you go into the bedroom. No business is allowed there anymore, just love and the relationship of you and your partner.
SourceAs a person who does not believe in superstition, one sometimes has a difficult time convincing others that their belief is nonsense. You can try and put up the most scientific arguments but a really superstitious person will still not believe you. Nevertheless I believe that superstitions, just like religious belief in general, is in decline.
SourceIf you wish for God to exist, he is there. Our wishes create God.
SourceI always believe that anything that causes fear and makes people worried and afraid is not right. You should give people trust, faith, love and compassion.
SourceWe should not say doing Yoga, but being in Yoga. When your soul wants to connect and unite with its source.
SourceIf you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.
SourceMaybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media. Applications and programs will be interactive scriptures that judge your spiritual progress. There will be an option to pay some money and get access to higher levels and ranks straight away. It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.
SourceDon’t love with the condition that the other one acts the way you wish.
SourceHuman created God and had the wish for him to be the creator of this world.
SourceReligious traditions let followers ignore their gurus' crimes!
SourceWhatever 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.
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.
SourceSometimes the outcome is simply not in our control, so stop thinking about what could have happened if you had taken another decision.
SourceScriptures were written by men, in a male-dominated society, when war, killing and fighting was a daily occurrence, when people were tortured, women were beaten and slaves were being held. You cannot call that holy.
SourceBeauty shines from within - not through Make-up.
