Today our computer crashed. It suddenly stopped working, did not make any move anymore and showed us thus very clearly that something was wrong. Yashendu had a look at it and already had an idea that this was not a small thing but was a problem with the heart of our computer, the hard disc.
So we packed our technical things into the car and went to Munich to let a specialist have a look on it. And yes, as Yashendu already had anticipated, it turned out that the hard disc was damaged and that the data could not be recovered. This is really bad news because we have all our files on that computer and we manage our website and all mail contacts with it. This means that all e-mails that reached us lately and that we could not answer until now are lost as well as a lot of texts that we had written for the website and for other occasions. It was a severe blow to our work because many people like you now read my diary and more of the website and we always communicate through the Internet with people all over the world.
I know many people in this kind of situation would be angry that this happened, angry with themselves for not having made enough backup and just in an emotional chaos. However this does not really help in this situation. Of course we also feel that it was not really necessary to lose all the data but everything happens for a reason if it is only to teach us to make a proper backup. In this situation we can laugh and make jokes although we had to buy a new computer and will be busy with installing everything on it again. We live our feelings and we do not fall into our emotion of anger or sadness. Okay, this happened and now we have more work to do but it is okay. There is no reason that could spoil the whole day or evening. It is like this now and we have to accept it. I think it is healthier to accept things in this way instead of becoming angry or sad for a long time. Everything is fine, it will be good for something.

It is unbelievable that computers can sometimes create such emotions when they don't work or when they are really slow. We start to get angry, to shout and talk with the object and we can't be rational in this moment. Otherwise, when they work, we don't have the same intense feelings, we don't start to sing and be happy... How come?

What a let down! These little road blocks can be devestating sometimes. But in the end, when you realize that it's really okay to lose these things, you have to go back and laugh at yourself and how important it felt to have those things at the time.

Act with the knowledge of what happened in the past and with an idea of what you want to achieve but be in presence, be here and now.
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.
SourceThe problem in a discussion with religious people is that they do not only think their belief is the best but quote their scriptures as proof in their arguments and then get confused and can't believe it when somebody doesn't accept their quotations as the truth.
SourceDon’t be shy to sing when you feel like it. It is a wonderful expression of your emotions and it opens the fifth chakra, the communication chakra.
SourceYou need to bring love and feelings into your work. Enjoy what you are doing, meet others with happiness and feelings instead of being like a stone. There are principles in business but they are man-made. Make love and feelings a part of those principles.
SourceReligion makes women inauspicious and depicts them as usable objects, as second-grade citizens who belong to men and should obey.
SourceIf you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.
SourceI trust you' is more valuable than 'I love you'.
SourceDon't try to control everything!
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.
SourceIf someone rapes a girl, how come her honour is gone? It should be the other way around! He loses his honour by doing this crime!
SourceIf you cannot or don't want to help others, at least don't hurt them. If you cannot give a helping hand, don't be cruel or harsh either, especially with those who love you.
SourceSome people don’t show unconditional appreciation for something even though they really like it. Maybe they want to prove that they are able to do corrections!
SourcePlaces and times change and we need to keep our mind flexible so that we can leave old rules and traditions behind.
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.
SourceYou can decide yourself if you want to be happy or sad. You are the one who decides to be angry, to be annoyed or to be sad. Some people decide to be in hate. But it is always you.
SourceExperiences are for experiencing, not for speaking about them.
SourceSometimes you can either go left or right and there is no way in the middle. Follow your heart. No decision makes the world stand still, everything will go on, no matter which way you go.
SourceYou will never get love by begging. You only get love when you give love. Open yourself, find love inside you and spread it.
SourceOur body is the temple of our soul. Our soul, our god lives in it and we need to respect it and take care of it. Listen to it and only eat when you are hungry. Take care of what you eat, eat healthy food, eat vegetarian. Your stomach is not a garbage box. Fill it with nice things, not with junk food or fast food.
