Category: Negativity
Yesterday I wrote about the wishes that you have in life and that you can realize. And today one friend called me with whom I had already many talks about this topic. Why? Because she tends to see the things in a very negative way. She also knows this and doesn’t mind that I tell it to her again and again, whenever I realize that she falls back into this habit because she knows herself that it is not good for her.
I just give you an example: You have the wish to get promoted in your job and you know, in the end of the year, one of five colleagues will be promoted. So you have 1/5th chance of getting a promotion. People who think in a negative way say ‘I am not going to get it anyway! My colleagues are all better than me, I think I don’t even try.’
I believe this is the wrong attitude. Why not be positive? Why shouldn’t you be the one? Just because of your negativity you refuse to even consider the possibility! You can do your effort, you can learn how to improve. But at the same time I would say not to put all your heart, soul and hope into this, don’t get attached to this wish. Yes, there is all possibility that you can make it and you can make an effort, but in the end it is not up to you.
Keep in mind that the world will not stop turning if it doesn’t work. If you are very unhappy with your situation, there will be a way to improve. And if you actually don’t like the work that you are doing, it most probably won’t get better if you get promoted either. Also in this case, please be positive! Maybe you find another company, another field of work where you are good at and where you can work with more joy and happiness. The world is beautiful and full of possibilities and wonders. Don’t hesitate to experience them, feel them!
Today was our friend Asheem’s birthday and we, the whole Ashram and all children are sending him lots of birthday wishes!

One of the most dangerous aspects of modern spirituality is that everybody can just invent anything and sell it as the truth, even if it is impossible and unrealistic.
SourceThe great Indian culture says that falling in love is a crime. You teach your daughters not to talk to male college classmates but expect them to sleep with a complete stranger after their wedding.
SourcePeople say scriptures cannot be changed. Okay, but then why do you need to follow them?
SourceSpirituality is very individual, not institutional. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church, you are spiritual, if you believe in love.
SourceA mistake is something that you learn from. Everybody makes mistakes and it doesn’t make sense to walk through life with this guilt until you leave the earth. Do your best to say sorry, to repair what is broken or to change the way if you made a wrong decision. However don’t carry it around after that otherwise you will be a prisoner of this guilt. Be free.
SourceReal followers always need someone to follow. When they get disappointed by the person they are following, they search for another one.
SourceYou need to learn to be happy and satisfied. You should be healthy and feel happy and good with your body.
SourceBeing spiritual cannot mean denying your sexuality and becoming celibate. Accept your sexuality in a spiritual way. Sexuality, driven by love, can be only spiritual, nothing else. God created us how we are and with sexuality being a part of us. Do not neglect that.
SourceGive time the chance to heal your sorrows, wounds and pain!
SourceHatha Yoga is food for the body, Gyan Yoga is food for the mind and Bhakti Yoga is food for the soul. Like this you get the full package.
SourceGive 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.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he says to his devotees ‘Please follow your religion and devotion at your home, not on the road.’
SourceMany times relationships fail because there is no physical closeness. A relationship doesn’t work over phone or over internet. A lot of people try but our human nature is that you need someone close to you for a real connection.
SourceNo, money is not everything and you cannot express the value of everything in Euros, Dollars or Rupees!
SourceThere are some things that are stable through all changes of life and your love is one of them.
SourceThe average religious person of the middle-class would be so much happier if he left religion and superstition and lived his life without it!
SourcePeople prefer making religious donations rather than charity donations to secure a seat in heaven by giving to a preacher or temple.
SourceThe scriptures of any religion, culture or country can be written by very intelligent people of old times and we can see them as great literature but they should not be taught to children as ideals of how to behave though. They are fiction and many of them are full of blood and violence, creating an illusion for children that this behavior could be religious and good.
SourceWe are destroying this world in our egoism and nature shows us exactly that. We need to think of the generations that come after us and not leave them a big mess just because we felt too comfortable and were too lazy to clean up and do something different.
SourceIf you only drink in company but don't want to, realize that this urge comes from outside. Why is the outside controlling you and brings you into a situation that you don’t want? Be strong in yourself.
