Yesterday I wrote that it is sometimes not good if people get used to do a certain thing on a certain day. Often people make rules for themselves in this way. Today Iris was joking and said that I also eat ice-cream always at the same time: after dinner. And it is true, I usually don’t eat ice-cream in the middle of the day because I like to keep my hunger for dinner and have something sweet afterwards. But I somehow see things in another way and have another attitude towards this ‘rule’. Good, this is my ice-cream time and then I am in a good mood. Even if there is no ice-cream. I will be in a good mood no matter if there is ice-cream or not. And in this way I am not depending on ice-cream to make me happy.
Today was ‘master’s day’ in India. For me a child can also be a master from whom you learn something. I was talking with the Ashram via Skype and could see and talk with my father and family. It was really nice. And today we also have distance healing and I will connect again with everybody meditating at the same time.

Yep, it's good to not rely on a certain plan or routine. And it also gets boring when you do the same thing at the same time on the same day. Better to be spontaneous and go with the flow. You never know what exciting things will come your way!

It seems to me to be a very helpful practice to continuously change a routine or to have as little of a routine as possible. It helps me to recognize impermanence and to notice that each moment is brand new. Sometimes my change in routine is to try having a routine. And sometimes it is to constantly change my location or habits or activities.

SourceA miraculous healing is usually not any miracle but just the natural strength of the body. The full credit goes to the healer who pretends that it was him who could heal.
SourceYour body is not the reason for a man's cheating. If he loved you before, why should this change only because your looks changed?
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he is not sitting in silver-walled temples wearing gold jewelry, eating 56 different types of food, but instead comes here and sees how to earn his bread with hard work.
SourceYou don’t need a church or temple to pray and get in touch with god.
SourcePeople who blame western culture and women’s clothing for sex crimes in India should take off their shirts and pants, too, because that dress also comes from western culture.
SourceSpirituality does not tell you to break the hearts of others by breaking all bonds. Of course you can go the path of spirituality with the relations that God gave to you. You can take them along on your way instead of breaking their hearts.
SourceHousewives - you are not worth less! Babies need their Mothers!
SourceThis is what modern society teaches people for their work: You are good if you are the best. You are good if you are the number one. If you are in the higher range, your ego gets artificially boosted so that you perform even better, bringing even more income and profit to the company.
SourceAfter Import in the West, Tantra became red, white, black and sexy!
SourceLife is short, live it! Do what you always wanted to do! Say it! Make it reality! You are the one in charge of your life. Love your life and live it!
SourceIn both, Hinduism and Islam, one can find proof that men are allowed and even advised to beat their wives – if they don’t obey or if they don’t want to have sex.
SourceMaybe you are sad because you still love the other one and he or she doesn’t want to be with you but you still have to love your love! Don’t be angry with yourself for this feeling and don’t switch into hate because of this advice. It is okay to follow your heart.
SourceMeditation is a good way to discover your feelings and to come from head to heart.
SourceForgiveness is the jewel of life. If we are able to forgive, we are rich. If you can forgive someone, he can also realize his mistake. When you realize a mistake you will take care not to repeat it.
SourceYou did not tell your partner that you are cheating but you are trying to tell yourself that he or she would be fine with that. Anytime you do that, whenever you cheat your partner, you actually first cheat yourself with this lie.
SourceBe aware while cooking and eating that you are doing something important. Love your food and don't waste it.
SourceIf a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!
SourceThe Catholic Church does not want to give the healing benefit of their saints to people of other faith! They want to get as many followers themselves, so if you are sick, you will only be healed by a Catholic Saint if you are Catholic!
SourceSometimes need to let someone go who does not want to be around you anymore and with whom you cannot share your way anymore. It can happen that these relations get stronger again after some time. Try not to poison a relation. If it doesn’t work, quit quietly. If you can, don’t create bitterness in between you.
