28 Mar 2008 Vrindavan, India
Category: Really nothing
Today Melly, Susi and Andrea will start their journey back home. They have been here for quite a while and we are all sad that they have to leave. They are sad, too, but we will see each other soon when we are again in Schwabmünchen. Saying goodbye is also a part of my life as I am moving so much. We say goodbye very often but then we also say hello often. It is fine to say goodbye, it is sad for some time but you have this happiness of looking forward to saying hello again. It is sad when you have no possibility anymore to say hello again.
Now I feel like the countdown of my last days here started, too. It is only nine days until we also have to start for the airport. So we have to do whatever we wanted to do here. My family will see me again only after five months, everything that we need to take has to be collected from all over the Ashram and just anything that we started should be finished.

All is a game of necessity in this world. If you feel a person or place doesn’t need you, leave it immediately and reach somewhere where you are needed. Never leave those who need you. If you want to be happy and respected, become necessary and useful.
SourceFlexibility is Hinduism's biggest quality and its biggest drawback!
SourceYou can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.
SourceThe only good reason for the wish to have a child is because you have love in your heart and you want to share it with a child. You want to give a child the happiness that you feel when you are loved and when you can love someone.
SourceOur body is the temple of our soul. Our soul, our god lives in it and we need to respect it and take care of it. Listen to it and only eat when you are hungry. Take care of what you eat, eat healthy food, eat vegetarian. Your stomach is not a garbage box. Fill it with nice things, not with junk food or fast food.
SourceWe need to integrate the worldly and material life with spirituality.
SourceYour decision of not feeling guilty also shows your forgiveness. When you are feeling guilty it means you cannot forgive yourself. Accept your mistake, say sorry and leave the guilt.
SourceYou don’t need a church or temple to pray and get in touch with god.
SourceSome people don't want to accept that what they believe in is a religion. It is a sign of bad conscience because of religion's control and manipulation. But calling it a 'way of life' does not change it!
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.
SourceVegetarianism starts at home. Show your kids how to caress animals, your cat just like farm cows! Why can you eat a cow, not a cat?
SourceEverybody is a healer because everybody has the love inside himself to heal. We all are unique but we all are one.
SourceFor many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.
SourceNo difference in faith and superstition - lose the faith in your faith!
SourceBoth, good and bad Karma binds you. Offer whatever you do. In this way you will be safe of the disappointment that comes with a bad result and safe of the ego of having achieved a good result.
SourceHonour is something related to your dignity, to a straight and honest way of living and not related only to your sexuality. Why would a woman be dishonoured if she had sex with the one she loves even if they are not married?
SourceVirtues is like fictional money with which you can buy an entry ticket for heaven!
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.
SourceReligious make-up and getup doesn’t make a person holy.
SourceHow much would Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras 3000 years ago, charge you for becoming his franchisee and using his name and Sutras?
