Category: Silence
Day before yesterday I wrote about situations in which you think it would make another person happy if you did not say the truth. I forgot to write about one option which is often a very good solution in difficult situations: silence. It is good to be in silence, I said many times that I prefer the silence.
Maybe I have also written the following Sutra already some day: Maunam Sarvarth Sadhanam. It means ‘Silence is the key for everything’.
Actually, many difficult situations are created only by talking too much. I have experienced on several occasions that people got into predicaments just because they couldn’t stop talking. There are people who just cannot stand the silence and need some topic to talk about, no matter what! And afterwards they often regret that they said something. They talk about things they don’t understand or things that are not their business and often give their advice.
I have seen often how some words, which were said with no wrong intention but also without much of a meaning, created a drama which was really unnecessary and the person who had said it was reaffirming again and again: ‘I didn’t mean it! Really, I was talking without thinking!’ So you see, silence would be the key for these problems because they would not even be created. Save your energy, don’t talk without a reason. I assure you that it will be good for you.

Wow, I never thought of it this way, but that's very true. We can talk our way into situations and problems that we never intended. I am going to practice silence before I speak so that I know that I truly mean what I'm going to say with all my heart!

those who speak do not know...those who practice silence hear the most beautiful songs.

felt a lot of what you wrote about silence and its inner gift there in mauna beeing in golden city at the oneness university in golden city. First day we came, lot of us asking what to do, when does it start, what's the first step...and than we were told. Just put yourself to bed, don't read, don't listen don't do anything...just look at the ceiling and relax. Slowly omething between the words, between the vioces, between all out thoughts began to appear

Love is nothing to show off but it is still something to show to the one you love. Isn’t it beautiful to say or be told ‘I love you’?
SourcePeople cannot express what they feel. They often do not even really know whether they like something or not. They look at their neighbours and see what their reaction is. Then they can imitate it. Easy.
SourceReligion is outdated from today’s point of view because we have found the answers to the questions due to which religion was created in the first place! Only manipulation and fear is left together with ancient, bloody scriptures – so you should leave religion and it should be buried as a relic of the past.
SourceI welcome, not only in my home but in my life, those people who either don’t have any expectations or whose expectations I can fulfill. I want people in my life who respect my feelings and care for my happiness as well as their own happiness. I apply a filter at the entrance to my heart, too, so that I can let those in who will make me happy and whom I can make happy.
SourceLove is not a spark, it is the light that shows you the way. A spark is a spark, only for a moment and when it is gone you are in darkness. Love is the light.
SourceDon't schedule your baby like an adult but get inspired by your child!
SourceInsecurity and lack of self-confidence makes people search for a guru.
SourceThe wish of being perfect is driven by the wish to be an expert. Leave this wish and get into your mind that there is always a possibility to do it better, to learn something. Improvement is always possible but you are fine just as you are!
SourceBe honest, even if you know the other one won't be happy about your answer!
SourceReligion wants you to be and remain a victim. All kinds of suppression and exploitation works best when there is fear of some kind. Religion comes from fear and wants to keep you in fear.
SourceWe do not want to be controlled. And if we don’t want to be controlled, why do we have the wish to control somebody? Trust is the foundation of any relation or love. Trust and leave the idea of controlling your partner!
SourceGive yourself a treat by moving your body, stretching, breathing! Enjoy your body and feel good in it! Whatever you do, enjoy it! Have fun!
SourceThe main factors for a good relationship are that you are physically close and devoted without any ego. If this devotion is not there, they will be far from each other even if they are physically close, sleeping and living in the same room. Then they cannot understand each other and in these cases relationships sometimes break even after a very long time.
SourceWe are mostly happy when we take but true happiness is when you enjoy giving.
SourcePlease don't live with a different identity. The creation is wonderful as it is, accept that. If you do not accept god's creation you do not accept your own soul. Stop fighting against your true self! Self-confidence can only come after self-acceptance.
SourcePeople have to develop their consciousness and stop killing animals to fill their stomach. They have a soul like us and god is in them, too.
SourceReligion kills. Fasting can take the life of an unborn baby.
SourceIf you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.
SourceI am not a Guru, Master or a Teacher. Just trying to be a good student in the school of life.
SourceNo culture or country is perfect - don't feel offended by criticism!
