Category: Time
I like to think about time, how everything changes and how some things still are the same, even after many years. I can think about Vrindavan, now and then. How the whole town changed, how many new buildings are there, how many more people live in the town! But still, if you go into the inner city, into the small streets in which I grew up, there are still the same people. Many shops are still there and many people still live where they lived 30 years ago. But of course opinions change with time, characters are developed and you just simply grow up and go with time.
Isn’t it funny if you think about how you were sitting on your mother’s lap many years ago, just like that child is sitting on your lap today? Are your grandparents still alive? I am blessed that my mother’s mother is living here with us. Today I thought how some day in the past my mother was a young girl of three years and sitting on my grandmother’s lap. And this is how the generations pass and each time there is another one sitting on the lap and another one holding the child.

It's really interesting to see how the world changes with each generation. By the time we are grandparents, it may seem like the world is hardly comprehensible anymore. I can't even imagine the technology we will have then! I only hope that I can easily change with the times so that I'm not left behind from life... I want to be a "hip" grandma someday! Haha

In the US when the fall leaves turn red and come down I also think about time. sometimes I watch them fall to the ground and think of the water inside the smallest pieces of the leaves and where that water came from long ago, and where the dust is from in the dirt that helped the tree grow. How everything passes on and comes back altered and keeps going on coming back.

I won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t think that women are less intelligent, inauspicious and less worth than men, as it is written in every religion’s books.
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.
SourceExperiences are for experiencing, not for speaking about them.
SourceJudging is good and necessary. Use your general knowledge, your mind, your intelligence and also your feelings. You can ask experts, research on the internet and find out more if needed. Get an opinion and don’t be afraid of others criticizing it. Maybe this fear prevents people from judging, too. Have self-confidence and say what you think is right and what is wrong in your eyes.
SourceArranged marriage means that I have to cope with you – but I cannot bear your family!
SourceSome gurus promise they could liberate you from the cycle of reincarnation. Who would prove that? But the guru makes his money…
SourceEverybody is spiritual in his own way. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church or are not sure about god, you are spiritual if you believe in love.
SourceDon't stop expecting - but learn from disappointments!
SourceTalking about love and falling in love are two different things. Do you remember when you fell in love for the first time, how happy you were and how you could not stop smiling? :)
SourceNo matter who you are and what you are doing, in the movie of your life you will always have the main role, you will be the hero. Stop trying to be someone who you are not or different and better than others, just be yourself! You are not greater or worse, higher or lower than anybody else. God made you perfectly fine, just as you are.
SourceDistance from the ex partner is necessary to keep away the feelings of jealousy!
SourceLet your feelings flow. It is so simple but can be very difficult. Society taught us to suppress our feelings and tears are seen as weak. Let it flow. When you are sad, please cry. When you are happy, please laugh. Be proud of your feelings and of who you are! Let them flow and open your heart to the love that is flowing between us all.
SourceWhenever you criticize something that is morally wrong and someone reacts strongly, it is a sign that he or she knows what you are talking about, has acted in the way you criticize and feels guilty about.
SourceDetachment is when you get happy by giving.
SourceI love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.
SourceA friend is someone who lends you his shoulder and is standing with you in every situation.
SourceReligion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.
SourceI believe the concept of open relationships is against human nature. If you continue your sexual relationship for a longer time, you will develop feelings and that is the point where jealousy can happen, too! If you love someone, if you feel for someone and this person sleeps with someone else, it is natural that you get jealous!
SourceChange is normal and just a sign that you are alive and in the flow of life. We always change for the better when we make a conscious change and decide to change along with times. We are changing in every second and it is better to accept this change than to fight it.
SourceGod is love and love is God. The definition that you give for ‘God’ you can also give for love. God is infinite. Love too. There is no end and no limit. Love cannot be finished, it is simply impossible.
