I sometimes compare a relation that we have to someone with a pot. And the love that we feel in this is the nectar that is dripping into it. You can fill this pot with nectar. And you need the pot to hold the nectar. You need a relation to give form to your love. It doesn’t matter what kind of relation it is, if it is a relation between husband and wife, mother and daughter, sister and brother or two friends, you have a certain relation in which the love can grow. You maintain this relation so that the love can grow more and more. This form is necessary to have the base for growing love.
When you are clapping your hands sound is created only if you do it with two hands. You cannot make noise with only one hand. In relations, too, movement from both sides is necessary to create sound and to make nice music. Both sides need to move, make effort to create this harmony. You should also be stable on the level of relation that you have. If there is a relation between father and son then the son should not try to switch the role and to become father. Do not switch to another kind of relation because you could lose the relation that you are having. If you are in a partnership, do not become the mother of your partner.
My friend Dr. Michael Kosak, who is psychotherapist, told me a joke: A man comes to a psychotherapist and tells him: “I met a woman and I want to be with her, I want to marry her. She takes care of me, she cooks for me, just like my mother. She is wonderful.” This man really got married to the woman and after 20 years of marriage he comes to the therapist again and says: “Oh, I want to get divorced! This woman is like my mother!”
Keep the level of your relation and be honest with each other. Especially in relationships it is very important to be honest.
Today in the afternoon the participants of the Ayurvedic yoga Course distributed the shirts of the second pair of uniforms to the school children. It is nice that they now have a second pair.

Men who need their mothers... are usually men who have been spoiled. Daddy's girls and Mama's boys are so agrevating.

My parents are a little bit like this, my dad is more like having another child in the house and so most/all of the responsibility for taking care of things and for guidance falls on my mother. She is a strong woman but I do not feel like she is in a good position, not a healthy one at least. And it is frustrating for me to watch. It makes it really hard for me to understand why anyone would want to be in a relationship with someone.

Don’t leave anybody for too long, otherwise they get used to living without you.
SourceBleach your face with ‘fair and lovely’ cream, get slim and tall with pills, make your vagina fair and tight – it is not this what makes you a beautiful woman!
SourceAs a guru, you can be very respected and holy one day but the next day you can be a nobody. It can happen quickly and for no reason at all. It does not take any time for the respect and love of followers to vanish.
SourceDevotees are told to be humble, surrender, finish their ego and do what their guru says - he will take care of your Karma account so you have to give him all rights to it. Easy but so dangerous!
SourcePeople are not very sensitive towards their own feelings and the feelings of others anymore. It is the biggest loss of today’s time: the loss of sensitivity.
SourceSiddhis are not real. Don't be afraid, nobody can do anything to you!
SourceI heard Jesus is not usually an angry or short-tempered guy. He, too, believed in love instead of punishment.
SourceIf you follow outdated scriptures, you would have to kill a ridiculous amount of people in our daily lives, most of the population would have a ‘painful doom’ and women would behave and be treated very wrong. It just does not fit anymore.
SourceSadhu or Sanyasi means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
SourceNot every religious person is a criminal but many criminal people are religious.
SourceThe Catholic Church does not want to give the healing benefit of their saints to people of other faith! They want to get as many followers themselves, so if you are sick, you will only be healed by a Catholic Saint if you are Catholic!
SourceA prayer is a way of getting closer to God. So it is good to pray, but it should be out of love, not because you have to pray. Pray with your heart.
SourcePeople put a label on everything, on themselves and everybody else, creating limitations! We are all the same, have the same soul and live on the same planet.
SourceTake a step to make relations closer: call the other one your Friend!
SourceIt is stupid to try and make others believe what you believe. Never try to change anybody’s belief.
SourceNot rarely you can see that yoga or meditation gurus mix two common practices and call it their own, put a patent on it and then sell it.
SourceFear is an illusion and it spoils your life. If you are afraid, you cannot enjoy. You are fine and you are able to cope with the situations that life brings you. Have trust in whatever is out there in this universe. The whole world is there for you, not against you. Let your fear go. Live.
SourceI don’t like rules but I like discipline. It makes your will power strong.
SourceIncrease your ego until you say ‘I am god’. I am that. You are that source that you come from, you are that! Tat Tvam Asi. But not only you, everyone around you, too!
SourceWe often live for others, trying to make them happy by being how they want us to be. We want to wear a mask of what we are not. But you cannot make everyone happy! We have had this experience hundreds of times but still we do the same again and again. Be original and who you are.
