Category: Negativity
In the last two days I told about a mother and a daughter. To both of them I said that they should be more positive in their thinking. I actually say this to many people because here it seems that much emphasis is put on negative things.
For being positive and thinking positively I told a small trick. Each day before you go to bed you can write down five good things which happened on that day. Write down what made you smile, what made you happy and what you laughed about. When your mind is set on negative thinking you do not see all the positive things of life. Positive things are happening there is no doubt about that, you just do not see them when your mind is set on negativity. And when you write down five things each day you will start thinking about what is positive and what you could write down in the evening. After one year you can look at what you have written and you will see 1825 positive things that happened this year. Do this exercise and you will feel how your thinking changes.
We had a Darshan today. At the same time Noemi gave a yoga class for children and in the beginning of the class she took me and introduced me to the children. I told them to do some practice of what they learn here at home, too. Some of them proudly said that they are already doing that and others said they would do from now on. It was very nice to see them and their fun in Yoga.

Thank you Swami Ji, thank you. To a large extent your thoughts determine the emotions that arise inside of you.

Religion is a dictatorship with inflexible outdated laws.
SourceSome people who believe in reincarnation neglect their own responsibilities. There is always a very convenient excuse: that happens because of my past life!
SourceIn the West, many people live in negative thinking and live in fear with a negative attitude. They are hopeless, suspicious, doubtful and always see the dark side of things. Most of all, they don't enjoy life. Come out of this negativity and see how beautiful life is!
SourceIt is normal to have ‘negative’ emotions like anger, sadness or jealousy. Allow them, accept them and let them go. If you fight and struggle you will suffer more. Find a reason to be happy again
SourceWhy do gurus want you to switch off your Brain and follow them with the words: Don't think!?
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.
SourceWhat is special in any part of the body? Everybody has the same body parts. You do not need to do extra effort for hiding anything and not for exhibiting, either. Why can’t we just be normal and natural?
SourceNot every religious person is a criminal but many criminal people are religious.
SourceLove is the only supernatural power that exists and we all have access to it. You just need to open your heart and let it flow.
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.
SourceThe Guru and master who started a tradition also asks you to pay for being a follower and franchisee. And in this business the essence of yoga is lost.
SourceYou need to have enough self-esteem to know that your time and effort is valuable. Don’t let others ignore that and don’t ignore it yourself. If others take advantage of you, it happens because you let them!
SourceYou cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.
SourceInstead of trying to make others happy, try to make yourself happy without worrying about the whole world. If you are happy, people will see you happy and will become happy.
SourceThe thought of independence and freedom made people lonely.
SourceYou are more than a body and not only your body. People should love you not because of your body. Your real freedom would be if you did not use your body as a medium to attract people’s attention.
SourceYou have everything that you need now! You have every reason to be happy! Be happy and love your life!
SourceIf you feel you don't have love, you maybe only have lost your connection. If you did not have love, you would not be longing for love. This is the proof that you have love. You only need to reconnect with your feelings.
SourceHindu scriptures say that a woman always needs protection. First by her father and her brothers, then by her husband and finally by her son. This makes women weaker and worth less - injustice of religion!
SourceIf someone cannot accept you how you are, how can they love you? And then, why do you need to worry about what they think? We do not accept others as they are and we do not accept ourselves as we are. And then we struggle.
