Sometimes I hear a funny type of terms about relationships such as ‘short-term relationship’, ‘long-term relationship’ or ‘open relationship’. I don’t understand how a relationship could be successful with this kind of conditions. And it doesn’t matter if it is short-term or long-term. What does it really mean and what is the definition of long-term?
Bonding a relation in terms like this shows your insecurity and your doubts about your relationship. It gives the impression of a contract. This maybe suits business relations but it doesn’t fit if you want to establish a relation on the physical, emotional and soul level.
‘Open relation’ also seems like you are looking for a good opportunity for business in the name of freedom. It can be fine in a business relation to go and buy there wherever you get the best deal but this concept cannot be really successful when you are thinking of love. When you have a physical relation with someone, it brings an emotional connection and an emotional relation requires physical closeness. Both of it leads you towards making a stronger connection on the soul level. But surely, it doesn’t work in this way if you give it the condition and limit of one night beforehand. This, called a ‘one-night stand’, is also popular these days in our society. I do not see a one-night stand as something bad and I am not against it. Maybe I will talk a bit more about this topic another time.
Tomorrow is a special day for the pilgrims. Thousands of people will do the Parikrama of 9 kilometers around Vrindavan. We will distribute breakfast for them and will show that in a live broadcast over the internet. Tomorrow you can click here to see the pilgrims and us.

All relationships are open, long term, and short term at any given time.

Relationships can't survive under the pressure of labels.

Terms like open relationship, in my experience, limit a relationship. And limitless relationships full of boundless love and joy begin and last without a name. Devotion and dedication come naturally (I don't mean they don't take effort).

that is strange, should ALL relationships be open with dedication?

I have found my purpose and meaning of life simply in bringing happiness to others. This is what makes me happy.
SourceDear unmarried, Indian young people: Take the decisions of your life on your own. You need to take your responsibility for your marriage, you cannot blame your parents forever for your life.
SourceI don’t like rules but I like discipline. It makes your will power strong.
SourceThe average religious person of the middle-class would be so much happier if he left religion and superstition and lived his life without it!
SourceReligious businessmen think that they can cheat God and his devotees, earn money from this sinful work and then bribe God to free them from that sin again. Religion gives you the a possibility to be forgiven anything!
SourceSometimes ego and anger can bring a darkness to your heart with which you do not even care about the happiness of your children although you love them. This love is not pure but driven by ego.
SourceMost people are focused on the body. Understand that you are not only the body.
SourceWays of worship like feeding a statue of God would be a big thing to laugh about, was it not a systematic plan of religion to keep you in a numb state of mind where you will not question an order even if it is complete nonsense. You are requested to switch off your mind and follow what you are being told.
SourcePeople have been inspired by religion to do extremely good deeds – but in the same way others have been inspired to do extremely bad things, too. The problem is the manipulation by religion and the lack of responsibility of the believers.
SourceThe coming generation will not forgive and forget violence in their childhood. If you hit your children, they will not keep a loving relationship with you, so don’t even start it!
SourceLove is the soul of our soul. Without it, you can be alive, but your soul is dead. We need love, it is the essence of our essence.
SourceReligion fools people and then forbids them to ask questions - so that they blindly believe what is written in scriptures and taught by religious preachers.
SourceIf children have respect for their parents, it keeps them from doing very big mistakes which they could then not confess to their parents. Due to their respect they stop before.
SourceBe relaxed and have fewer expectations on yourself. Look forward Even to things that are important. If you are anxious you will only exhaust yourself with stress which doesn't make anything better.
SourceTake your own responsibility without relying on others or thinking about other people’s judgment.
SourceEverybody has a heart and a soul. The body is the temple of our soul, in which it lives and we should be very respectful with it. We should not make an exhibition with it and we should not have rules to hide it. Both is not right and if you do one of both, you are disrespecting your body.
SourceIt is your own decision how you want to spend your life. You can live a true and honest life. Take your decision and have the courage!
SourceGod lives in the heart and can come wherever you want. Temples and religious buildings are the centers of the business of religion where they see religious people as cows and milk them for money and donations, even by selling tickets. The more money you have, the quicker you can see God and the more blessings you get.
SourceWhere poverty is widespread, people believe more in religions. They are uneducated but they have hopes and dreams, based on God. Some gurus take advantage of their dreams and suck the little money that they have out of them. Let’s spread education so that they can really live their dreams.
SourceBeing happy in the happiness of your beloved is true love.
Source
