Category: Self-confidence
Yesterday I was talking about embarrassing situations and Ramona asked me what the most embarrassing situation in my life was. Today again she asked and she asked also Yashendu and Purnendu but none of us could find any such situation. We just don’t feel embarrassed in some situations that others feel embarrassed in.
I believe that it is easier to live in this way. You know, if you can just accept that you are a normal human, not perfect, just as everyone else, there is no reason to be embarrassed. I anyway think that you shouldn’t be embarrassed for the natural noises of your body, it just doesn’t make sense, you cannot control your nature. And also if you do any action, why do you feel embarrassed? It happens mostly because you want to be in a certain way, we want to look good, want to impress others and have a certain image in mind how we want to look like. Be natural and self-confident. Again it is about the wish to be perfect or the confidence to be who you are.

I think it's normal to feel embarrassed about silly things as long as you don't take it too seriously. It's fun to laugh at yourself when you do or say something stupid...but it's not worth feeling ashamed and mortified about it. It's healthy to laugh at yourself and accept that you are just a human who makes mistakes. But it shouldn't bring you down and make you feel bad about yourself.

I actually find such things incredibly funny! Some of the best humor involves bodily functions!

for all reasons not entirely known to me...in this life cycle..I am a fool, coward and selfish creature...yet I abound in Grace, Love and Comfort....I am not fully aware of my potential....yet I push forward...if this is Karma-Law, then may it be done...but, I realize that I am upheld by something Pure and Beautiful....that will hold on to me....... See Moreeven if I feel that I must hide and be ashamed....for I know that I am not the end-all existence itself, but merely a molecule in the Grand Design....or am I something greater like the ONE Himself?

Swami Balendu is 50 lifetimes ahead of the average male! Behold the soul, incecedentally presented in a male body. (Through deliberate effort, He sees without fabricated conditioning.) Thank You dear Swami Balendu, for being the lighthhouse to which us ordinaries refer for our navigation, to make sailing our lives safe! Love TD

Religious leaders act as if God is their property and they are the ones to distribute the connection. But they are not the brokers of God. You don’t need to pay them commission to establish the connection. You can just dial in yourself.
SourceLife is a process and always changing and I just want to be honest and say what I think. I cannot tell you what I will be thinking five years from now! I am open to accept the change.
SourceInsecurity in life makes you need assurance by others!
SourceEgo can make you blind so that you are not able to see the truth which will affect your decisions.
SourcePeople, afraid of loneliness, want to train themselves for it and make this affirmation: "I can be alone". "I need my space" is another phrase which is often said by those who would actually like to have someone around them.
SourceIs spirituality something that you can learn, like mathematics or commerce? Don’t you think that being in love and living with honesty is true spirituality?
SourceTry to be attached to as little as possible, leave old things, throw them out and give them to someone who needs them more than you.
SourceLove can exist without sex but sex has to be with love.
SourceReligious people who want to be modern try to find a way to combine religion and science because one can survive without religion but not without science.
SourceOn the market of arranged marriages, nobody would like to marry his son or daughter to a divorced man or woman. Damaged goods, when the women are concerned. Men who have been left – who knows for which reasons? Maybe he was beating or a drinker… it must be something really bad, otherwise why would someone go until a divorce?
SourceNo Guru or master can tell you who you are because we are all unique. You have to find the answer yourself.
SourceIf you embarrass your partner in public, it is a sign of disharmony in relationship.
SourceI can’t change my past and I don’t want to. I am who I am and don’t deny any part of that. I keep my personal history open for you to see. Maybe it will show you the way out of a religion, out of a sect, away from a fake guru and from superstition and towards taking your own responsibility.
SourceIt is the path of devotion and love when you can say to your God ‘Wherever I am, whoever I am, I am yours.’ Then you have surrendered yourself and offered yourself to God. For this you need closeness.
SourceYou want to live in guilt. If you do not want to, you can come out of it. You can just leave it and decide not to be in guilt. But being in this feeling is easier than making the decision of not being in guilt.
SourceEverybody is a healer because everybody has the love inside himself to heal. We all are unique but we all are one.
SourceDon’t value everything with money. If you give, give generously without expectation. If you get something, appreciate it with your heart, not with your purse.
SourceYou will never get love by begging. You only get love when you give love. Open yourself, find love inside you and spread it.
SourceCriminals and people who do wrong live in fear of the consequences of their actions. Religion gives them a good way to find forgiveness. You only need to go to the temple regularly, tell a priest about what you have on your mind, pay some money, say some prayers and you are forgiven. Then you can go out to do the next crime.
SourceIt is impossible to be ‘religious but not superstitious’ because religious scriptures are full of superstition. You cannot separate superstition from religion, its origin. It as a positive sign though, if you think this much - you have taken the first step!
