Category: Really nothing
Yashendu said in the morning that his beard did not grow any longer. So during breakfast he thought about cutting it a little bit. And then Ramona, Carolin and me agreed that he should shave it completely so that we can see how he looks without it. First he was not very fond of the idea but he also got curious after a while. Until today Yashendu had never shaved his moustache. His beard yes but since it is growing he was never without moustache. So we took scissors and a razor and started work. We were busy for about an hour and the nice result you can see on the picture. It is a very different look now! Each time that we see him we have to laugh because he looks so different. During dinner Sonja said that with the beard he seemed to be older than 30 although he is only 27. Now, without the beard and the moustache she said he looked only older than 20.
In the neighbour's house and garden there is a celebration going on from the town's shooting club. So they had a parade through the city and in front of our window which we watched. Maybe they will make another parade tomorrow, it was like carnival.
My friend Andrea Kosak has birthday today and she sponsored the food of the Ashram on this special day. Purnendu sent me the photos and it was nice to see the Ashram from here in Germany and see the kids eating there.
That is how our weekend started. Tomorrow in the evening at half past ten I will start the full moon meditation and the distance healing. I would like to invite all the readers of the diary, too, to sit with me and all participants in meditation for one hour. You can send your request until tomorrow. It is always a very special energy flowing between the participants worldwide.

Believers should study their belief. Find out in depth what is written in scriptures and if you find things you don’t like, ask yourself if you can really blindly accept them as religion asks you to.
SourceGuilt is the result of the wish for perfection. You want to be perfect and this mistake proves that you failed, so you carry it around, defending your mistake, blaming others, hiding so that nobody finds out that you are not perfect. Everybody makes mistakes and nobody is perfect!
SourceReal followers always need someone to follow. When they get disappointed by the person they are following, they search for another one.
SourceWhat is wrong is wrong and if you have seen wrong, you have to speak out against it, keep your loved ones from doing it and make clear that you oppose it.
SourceThe truth is nowhere outside. Search in your love and in your honesty, there you will find truth.
SourceHow would you describe spirituality? And what can you get from reading someone’s experience? For you, spirituality can be very different. And that is truth.
SourceIf you made it your habit not to ever judge anything and anybody, you would get psychological problems as you would not be able to make independent decisions on your own and would never know which way to go.
SourceSave your energy by not talking when it is not really necessary.
SourceReligion is a firm and strict structure whereas spirituality is soft and flowing. Religion presses into clear and edgy shapes whereas spirituality makes round and soft. Religion comes from the mind and spirituality from the heart.
SourceDon’t leave anybody for too long, otherwise they get used to living without you.
SourceIt is not necessary to believe in the truth for it to be real. Fire for example will burn, if you believe it or not.
SourceSexual feeling is just innocent and a part of your body. With your body growing, your feelings also get more mature with age.
SourceIf you seek holes in everything and want to see the negative side, you will be affected more and more by negativity.
SourceWe need to learn to say no instead of having a formal attitude that keeps us from being honest and expressing what we really want.
SourceGyan Yogis say that there is no duality. Everything is one and everyone is the same because god is in everybody. So if God is in you, in me and in everyone around, against whom do you want to direct your aggression? Anger can only exist in duality. When everything is God, then everything is the same, everyone is love.
SourceWhy do we need to pretend to be who we are not?
SourceDon’t be afraid, there are no such things as Siddhis! Speak out without fear and don’t let gurus cheat more people by claiming to have supernatural powers!
SourceForgetting does not mean suppressing! Forgetting means that you know it but it becomes less and less important so that you don’t keep on recalling it again and again.
SourceThere are some things that are stable through all changes of life and your love is one of them.
SourceIf you are in love with God, you don’t have to ‘do’ meditation, it takes place itself. You are in love without doing any ritual. You also don’t need to do rituals to please your God, he will feel your love in every moment. There is no need of any special prayer, any certain Mantra if you are in love with God.
