Writing This Diary - Daily Live Lecture - 26 Mar 08

26 Mar 2008  Vrindavan, India

Category: Personal statement

Swami ji with friends

Ramona is sitting here and saying to me "okay, start". She wants to write the diary. But it does not work like that. I do not have a button for "play" which you push and then I tell you something wise or interesting. It would be nice for Ramona to have a rewind button, too. Then she could hear everything that I say again for writing it down. I do not have a script or anything in written that I just copy for the diary. No, actually it is really an everyday live lecture that Ramona writes down and translates. I don't even have notes when I am giving a lecture of two hours for a public of a hundred people. I have to get in the mood of talking and when it flows it is a nice lecture or a nice entry for a diary. It is also energy. Everything that we do is energy and when it is in the flow the result will be good, too.

We went to the Taj mahal today. It was Melly, Susi, Ramona, Andrea, my friend David and a friend of his from Greece and me. David and his friend arrived yesterday in the Ashram and also wanted to see the world famous building. The Taj Mahal is in Agra which is only 60 kilometres away from Vrindavan and thus nicely reachable by car in one and a half hours. It is really an amazing piece of architecture and just beautiful! Everybody enjoyed our trip there.

Words of Wisdom

  • Prediction

    Nobody in the world can tell the future.

    Source
  • Sex

    When two people meet and decide to have sex and decide on the next day that they want to have sex with a fully different person, it is their private matter – as long as they don't cheat anyone, wear a condom and don’t spread any diseases!

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Why are holy religious scriptures full of violence and blood?

    Source
  • Friend

    God can be your friend whom you trust, with whom you can share everything and who can be mother, father, son or daughter to you.

    Source
  • Love

    Don’t love with the condition that the other one acts the way you wish.

    Source
  • Parenting

    Housewives - you are not worth less! Babies need their Mothers!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religious preaching is a performing art, not a divine act.

    Source
  • Money

    No, money is not everything and you cannot express the value of everything in Euros, Dollars or Rupees!

    Source
  • Positivity

    A positive attitude from your side will also change your surroundings.

    Source
  • Yoga

    Karma Yoga is when you do something and then forget it. Whatever you do, just offer it to god and don't keep any expectation of getting something in return. That is Karma Yoga.

    Source
  • Belief

    Atheists identify themselves with the fact that they don’t believe in any god. They have the principle of not believing – but believing that there is no god is also a belief.

    Source
  • Relationship

    With an arranged marriage you get a place in the other person’s life but the question remains if you get a place in his or her heart. That cannot be arranged!

    Source
  • Happiness

    Unhappy? Not satisfied? A change of Perception might help! Life is beautiful, you just need to see it from the right place!

    Source
  • Silence

    Save your energy by not talking when it is not really necessary.

    Source
  • Sex

    The average Indian person will tell you that it is wrong to have sex before marriage. They think sex is something dirty, even if they are married. Before being married however it is thought to be a sin!

    Source
  • Life

    We all should be more open towards others and take life easy.

    Source
  • Children

    Don't buy in shops where you see children working. Ask the shop owner, get him to think about it and let him know you don’t buy there because of the child he has employed.

    Source
  • Sects

    Sects create fear. Fear of life, fear of sins, fear of god. Believe in love, not in fear. There is no reason to be afraid. Love is God and God is love

    Source
  • Gurus

    I will be happy to feel myself always as being a good student. But I see here many times that this desire of being a master comes. People want to be in charge. They want to be a master and it actually is their unfulfilled wish that shows in this way.

    Source
  • Sects

    You belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.
