Enjoying the Change and Being at Home - 5 Oct 09

05 Oct 2009  Vrindavan, India

Category: Personal statement

Swami Ji, Yashendu and Purnendu

I love changes and my whole life long I have been changing in many different ways. I always accept the changes and think we all should be ready to go with time. I feel very good and am very happy with all these changes.

It is just very great to be at home, to play with Suraj, walk in the garden, sit on the swing with Naniji, talk with Ammaji and then have dinner together. It is just great and I am so happy. I see the children and just love how happily they play and what life they have. It is beautiful to be with Purnendu and Yashendu and everyone else.

Ashu asked me how it felt to be without beard and hair and I told him that it was great and felt very light. Then he also decided to shave and just for fun Purnendu also gave him company. We had lots of fun. For me being happy is the most spiritual practice that you can do. If you are happy, that’s it.

It is great when we can accept change. Then what are we really afraid of? Any change is just life-- it's not bad, just different. If we are open in this way, we won't fear loss or even death. They are just more transitions and changes.

Words of Wisdom

  • Religion

    You can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.

    Source
  • Love

    Love is nothing to show off but it is still something to show to the one you love. Isn’t it beautiful to say or be told ‘I love you’?

    Source
  • Sex

    Sex is a very holy and spiritual act and the subject of soul and body, but not of the mind. If it comes into the mind, it will make you sick. You should enjoy sex with your soul and with your body. Don’t think of it, just do it!

    Source
  • Superstition

    It is a collective decision to believe something that everybody has always accepted. It is tradition, it is normal, it is what everybody thinks. It was never questioned and even if someone questioned it, the doubts had to be rejected because that is simply ‘what we believe’. Always keep on questioning these things - they are the most likely to be wrong!

    Source
  • Friend

    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.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Never skip a reason for a celebration!

    Source
  • Love

    Being happy in the happiness of your beloved is true love.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion teaches that you should not be completely happy. People are harder to control when they are happy and when they are not afraid. Another reason not to follow any religion – because you want to be happy, not afraid.

    Source
  • Forgiveness

    If you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.

    Source
  • Relationship

    In the Indian society, young people are married like on a deer market and many agree themselves that this is how it should be.

    Source
  • Relationship

    In a relationship acceptance is necessary. If we cannot accept the other on how he is, we will not be able to maintain a successful and loving relationship.

    Source
  • Love

    If you really and truly love somebody, why are you eager to possess that person? True love is not about owning.

    Source
  • Fear

    Not only children believe in ghosts and magic and not only children are afraid. Religion has instilled fear in grown men, too, because it helps them control and manipulate them. There are the stories of ghosts and then there is religious advice what to do against such dangers – rituals, ceremonies and more.

    Source
  • Feelings

    Sensitivity is a jewel of humanity. If there was no sensitivity, everybody would be just like stone!

    Source
  • Acceptance

    If 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.

    Source
  • Decision

    Sometimes you can either go left or right and there is no way in the middle. Follow your heart. No decision makes the world stand still, everything will go on, no matter which way you go.

    Source
  • Superstition

    A lot of doctors close their practices on Thursday due to superstition! People and doctors both think a doctor's visit on a Thursday means another doctor's visit later! They study, they learned a lot of science and they know about the body, its diseases and cures – but that does not keep them from believing that Thursdays are bad days!

    Source
  • Healing

    Give time the chance to heal your sorrows, wounds and pain!

    Source
  • Sex

    After Import in the West, Tantra became red, white, black and sexy!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion kills. Fasting can take the life of an unborn baby.
