Even though I never write my diary about one particular person and never write any name in the diary, some people get upset with what I am writing. It is particularly Swamis and Gurus who don’t like that I am writing like this. I am writing about the general system but of course, many Swamis and gurus can feel that I am directly talking to or about them. And who will feel this? Obviously those who are doing what I am writing. Those, who are really on the path of love and on the way to god, won’t feel this because it is not for them.
I only said that there are Swamis and gurus who are interested in collecting gold and money. I don’t think that anybody will not agree with me if I say that there is a conflict between two things: on the one hand collecting money and gold and on the other hand teaching detachment from material.
I actually don’t only say this for Swamis and gurus, I like to direct my word to anybody who has the means to help and to share. That can be industrialists, it can be politicians, it can be celebrities and everybody who could give something to someone who needs it more urgently. Why do you collect this all, what will you do with it once you left from this earth? Give something of what you have and most importantly your love to those who need it.
It is okay if some people don’t feel good with my diary and statements, I will let them feel what they want but it will not prevent me from saying and expressing what I feel.

You also have the credibility to say what you say in your diaries because you have lived the life of a guru, firsthand! No one could argue with you or claim that you are lying... you have seen it with your own eyes. And yes, anyone who is offended has a reason to be taking it personally- because you are speaking about them!

Great love to you, jolly friend Swami Ji ... Here in the states we are celebrating this week "Thanksgiving" which is in practice what colonists originated to share what they had learned from the indigenous native first children of this continent ... it is dichotomous for me, as we all clearly now know that the descendents of those colonists (we) ... See Morehave largely not acted honorably with regard to those first children, or indeed, with many of our affairs both here and away, for a very long time ... still, as a matter of personal reflection and gratitude it is a place and time set aside and cherished, mostly of childhood memories, when it was before we as adults learned of our folly and having come to realize that it will take a very big effort to turn things aright. Thankful I am for your love, and again I will say thanks to you for the love and work you do on behalf of us all.

Give value to your relations and the people around you. See and feel their love and love them back. Store their love in your heart. Care for friendship, care for your relations, care for love.
SourceBad luck or good luck are simply a manipulation of your mind, a psychological effect for those who believe in it.
SourceIf someone wants to help you, find out whether he tries to make you afraid or if he gives you love and helps you through compassion and being with you. In this love you can heal, fear cannot heal you.
SourceNot rarely you can see that yoga or meditation gurus mix two common practices and call it their own, put a patent on it and then sell it.
SourceAtheists say ‘God is only a thought’. But what is wrong with having a good thought?
SourceWhy do you eat Pig and Cow but not your Dog?
SourceIf you take responsibility for someone else, this person often just relies on you instead of acting himself. This does not help you and it does not help him, either!
SourceA woman just gave birth to a new child on this earth, the biggest miracle of nature itself – and Indian superstition calls her impure! Isn't that like a bad joke?
SourceSometimes religion is like poison. Look at these people who gather others around themselves, making up their own ‘religion’ by interpreting some scripture in their own way and create rules. It steals the freedom of the mind. You need to know yourself what is right for you and everybody has different ideas of what is good or bad, right or wrong.
SourceWhen a Muslim woman gets raped, the law of Islam says she has to bring forward four adult men who can confirm that she was raped, otherwise she will be the one punished. Imagine, after the physical torture of being raped, you are being tortured mentally, too!
SourceNot afraid of anyone but God' means being afraid of everything!
SourceCheating 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.
SourceWith children it is easy to have an emotional connection because they understand the language of emotions better than the language of intellect. If you talk to them with intelligent words, definitions and facts, they won’t understand you. If you reach out to them with love and happiness, you establish an emotional bridge in between you and them.
SourceMeditation can go long ways in giving you mental discipline. This discipline can help you realize what you can do to feel good in your body.
SourceMany people only say their prayers with rituals, when they are in temple or church or only pray if they have a mala. Praying with a mala is not wrong but it is not the only way. You don’t need a mala for praying. And you don’t need a church for getting in touch with God.
SourceHow would you describe spirituality? And what can you get from reading someone’s experience? For you, spirituality can be very different. And that is truth.
SourceArranged marriage is like a lottery. Your spouse can become your best friend if you are lucky. Or you just have a husband or a wife. That’s it. Someone who has a place in your life but not in your heart.
SourceIn Hinduism there is a word ‘Kanya Dan’, the donation of a girl from father to husband. Like a thing that can be passed on. In a wedding this ‘Kanya Dan’ is however the most important part of the marriage ceremony - and this is how religion degrades women.
SourceMany people try with force and effort to keep happiness away because they want to be victims. They are always sad and hurt, no matter what happens.
SourceFor many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.
