We just came back from Darshan. We went to Mindelheim for that, around 30 minutes by car from Schwabmünchen. Tomorrow I will also give healings there. The Darshan took place in her living room. At seven o'clock it was supposed to start. In this time I heard it already! Tick-tack, tick-tack! Then the last people arrived so we could start with my Mantra and the little introduction that I normally say. I had said two sentences, when - tick-tack, tick-tack - I could not concentrate anymore. I had to ask her if she could take out the battery. It turned out that there were five clocks in the room and in order to make the noise stop one woman even had to climb on her chair to get the clock down. Only after putting them all out of the room I finally could start. I explained that this talking, starting a lecture or this kind of introduction is for me like a meditation, too. I do not have a script and I do not have any notes memorized. What I am saying that is in each moment just flowing through me. And for getting to this state of meditation I need silence. However I think for the healings tomorrow she will put all tick-tack out of the room before I come.

I think it's wonderful that you give lectures from pure inspiration in the moment without a script. It makes your lectures very genuine and authentic. You don't get distracted by trying to follow the script exactly, you just go with the flow! I like that. :) It shows how much real wisdom you have; it just rolls off the tongue.

Crime and Religion - why are they so close?
SourceMaybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media. Applications and programs will be interactive scriptures that judge your spiritual progress. There will be an option to pay some money and get access to higher levels and ranks straight away. It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.
SourceBeing spiritual cannot mean denying your sexuality and becoming celibate. Accept your sexuality in a spiritual way. Sexuality, driven by love, can be only spiritual, nothing else. God created us how we are and with sexuality being a part of us. Do not neglect that.
SourceRespect your food. Your stomach is not a garbage box. You are doing something important when you are eating.
SourceA bath in the Ganges will wash away your sins -how practical! No matter how many sins you do, just go and wash them all off!
SourceIn this age and time, people don’t even have time for themselves, so if someone takes out time to strengthen your friendship, it is great, appreciate it.
SourceYou should not trust god completely because if you do, you will die, waiting for him to come and help you! Fool god, tell him that you believe in him and have full faith while you would never actually trust him that much!
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!
SourceSpirituality is very individual, not institutional. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church, you are spiritual, if you believe in love.
SourceIf you read a superstitious scripture often enough, you start believing it is true. Coincidences confirm it but you have to follow your doubt!
SourceMeditation can go long ways in giving you mental discipline. This discipline can help you realize what you can do to feel good in your body.
SourceIf you made a mistake, don't follow your ego. Accept the truth, even though you were wrong. Don't live for your ego.
SourceSadhu or Sanyasi means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
SourceNobody knows what will happen in the future. If we knew what would happen tomorrow, the whole mystery, the adventure, the surprise and the beauty of life would be gone!
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.
SourcePriests and organizers are like agents. religion is their business and images of gurus and icons are their products. They have to sell something and get income to make their living and if they can attract people to buy at their tents by selling those pictures, it is fine for them. It is human worship and it is wrong.
SourceIt is normal to have ‘negative’ emotions like anger, sadness or jealousy. Allow them, accept them and let them go. If you fight and struggle you will suffer more. Find a reason to be happy again
SourceWhy do you strive to look the opposite of how you look like? Be yourself and love who you are. Love comes from inside, from the heart and from the soul.
SourceWith an arranged marriage you get a place in the other person’s life but the question remains if you get a place in his or her heart. That cannot be arranged!
SourceMaking love does not only mean sexual activities. Hug someone, create a lovely atmosphere and just love someone. Letting your love flow is making love for me.
