Category: Really nothing
We had a beautiful last Saturday here in New York. It is now pretty hot here, too. We are anyway preparing for leaving on Monday. We went out in New York with a friend and then in the evening went to Central Park for the free yoga class where we were joined by some very lovely people.
They also joined us for dinner after yoga and we got to know them a little bit better. Some of them are doing a course for nutrition, one of them was a raw chef, in short, all of them were interested in healthy living and eating.
We had a beautiful evening together and afterwards the full moon meditation, now we are tired and will go to bed soon.

There really isn't another place quite like New York city. Many people would probably complain about the hustle and bustle of it, and also that people are so work-oriented that they couldn't stop to give you the time of day. But, uniquely, there are many public spaces in New York where different kinds of people can be found. I'm glad you found some like-minded people so far away from home! Have you been to California?

SourceTake out time for your friends - it makes you and them happy!
SourceWe need to stop religion from spreading the superstition that there could be a ghost or spirit possessing a person.
SourceSharing has a double effect: it decreases sadness and increases happiness!
SourceI do not like rules. I said many times that we are always living in rules but we should make it a rule to break one rule daily. But that should be your decision and not controlled by anyone else.
SourceGod is there for you in every moment and he does what is best for you.
SourceKarma Yoga is when you do something and then forget it. Whatever you do, just offer it to god and don't keep any expectation of getting something in return. That is Karma Yoga.
SourceA friend is someone who lends you his shoulder and is standing with you in every situation.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t think that women are less intelligent, inauspicious and less worth than men, as it is written in every religion’s books.
SourceDo you think of meditation as a competition? Whoever can sit in meditation the longest is the winner! That person is closer to enlightenment than all others or has even already reached enlightenment! Those who cannot sit still for even half an hour are beginners, losers, materialists and very non-spiritual people!
SourceYou are not done once you have felt you found yourself. This is you today but who will you be tomorrow?
SourceDon’t you think that the basic reason for you to believe in religion, to follow a guru or to be a member of a sect is actually fear and even greed?
SourceDon't try to control everything!
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.
SourceYou belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.
SourceIn the Indian society, young people are married like on a deer market and many agree themselves that this is how it should be.
SourceDon’t be shy to show a little gesture if you think it will make someone happy.
SourceDon’t do what you don’t want your children to do. They learn what they hear and follow what they see. Love your child. Give clear signs what is good and what is not.
SourceHuman is just a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. Nature, god, the universe, however you want to call it. Even if you know your body, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything.
SourcePlease do what you enjoy. Enjoy your life! It is too short not to enjoy it. And you can have the trust that even if you do not know what it will be good for in your future, if you stop worrying you will see that there will be the right thing at the right time for you.
