Yesterday when cutting bread Ramona accidentally did not only cut off a slice of bread but also a bit of her finger. I was in a healing session in that time but Yashendu was there and went to get our friend Claudia, the owner of the hotel that we are living in. She is a nurse, so Ramona got a professional treatment for her finger. She still felt weak and shaky when I came from the healing session because she had lost some blood. So we asked her to lie down a bit and after a few minutes she was fine again, feeling the pulse in her finger very much, but all in all she was fine. So I told her what we say in India about this kind of injuries.
We generally have a very positive attitude and we say that something worse could have happened and was meant to happen but this was the mild and small version of it. So by god’s grace you don’t need to go through the really bad experience. God is great and you are lucky that nothing more dangerous happened. In any situation you can try to see the positive side and think positive. See God’s grace in everything.
Today Ramona’s finger is better but it will certainly take a few days until she can take off the bandage. When I asked her if she could type the diary at all she said ‘I can type with nine fingers, too.’ There is always a reason to be happy and to smile.

This is one of my favorite ways to look on the bright side when something bad happens. No matter how bad it seems, it could ALWAYS have been worse. So we should be grateful that it wasn't! There are tons of things to still be positive about. These realizations make it easier to get through a tough time.

A successful relationship comes from devotion, not from ego and expectations. Leave your expectations behind and accept and respect the other one. In order to accept, respect and love in a relationship, you definitely need to accept, respect and love yourself.
SourceGod can be your friend whom you trust, with whom you can share everything and who can be mother, father, son or daughter to you.
SourceSometimes the mind creates an illusion in which true love cannot be seen. However love never dies and if you make an effort and don’t give importance to your ego, you can see clearly and find the love which was always there.
SourceDo what you feel is right. That will make you happy.
SourceDon’t teach them that they are worth less and stop placing a woman’s honour in between her legs! We have a lot to change! The idea that women are subordinates. The thought that women are easy targets and that only they can lose their sexual purity. And so much more!
SourceWhy do you fight!? If you need God, he exists for you. If you don’t, he doesn’t exist for you.
SourceEgo is the main reason for separation.
SourceYou cannot love God purely, there will either be fear or greed. Parents install these feelings related to God. God sees if you are a bad child! Don’t lie or fight with others, God knows everything! If you want to achieve something, be good and do what God says! Parents use God for their education – either threatening with him or promising that he would reward you.
SourceReligion destroys the lives of children!
SourceDon't take everything personal!
SourceTrust your feelings and listen to your heart. It will help you take decisions and be stable in your decisions.
SourceIf you wish for God to exist, he is there. Our wishes create God.
SourceIt is easy to cheat God and his believers on the name of religious tradition.
SourceReligions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.
SourceIf someone refuses to change while you yourself are developing, it can happen that you grow apart. At that point of life, you meet new people who can go along with your new view on the world. It is fine and a part of the change which we accepted in our lives.
SourceTalking about love and falling in love are two different things. Do you remember when you fell in love for the first time, how happy you were and how you could not stop smiling? :)
SourceNot 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.
SourceIsn’t it strange that it is offending if a normal person shows his genitals in public while religious men get worldwide fame for it?
SourceSeekers who are searching for the truth go to someone, an organization or Guru, who might know the truth and could lead them towards it. Be careful, you can also be misled!
SourceEverybody’s situation is very individual. If I tell you that it is always good to be honest, it is your responsibility how to use this suggestion. If you decide to be honest, unnecessarily tell your boss that you don’t like him and get fired, I would not think that I was responsible for that!
