I was writing about happiness but today is a challenge for me to be happy. I cannot say I am very happy because I see that the whole Ashram, all faces of our family are not happy because we are leaving. When I see these sad faces I want to make it more light, make them laugh and try to take away the heaviness of the atmosphere.
The Ashram is so busy on this day of leaving because everybody is helping in packing and searching things which we need to take. Like each time my grandmother, naniji, asks us if she will be alive when she will see us the next time.
This all I feel and try to balance myself but on the other hand I can also say that I am happy to see my friends again when I go back to Germany. That is also there. I have to accept both of these emotions.
Now it is getting hot here and I heard from my friends that the spring is coming in Germany, so we are also happy to leave and hope for nice weather there. So, as usual, these are my emotions on the day of leaving and somehow we are used to this. So tomorrow I will write from Wiesbaden.

Awe! that is the saddest thing for your grandma to say. But I have heard of grandparents saying that before. How happy she must be every time you come through the gates again.

In order to save your friendship, control your expectation after having uncommitted Sex with a Friend!
SourceKarma and God cannot work together! If you give God the responsibility for good things, how can you blame Karma for the bad ones? Would God not be responsible for good and bad as well as for all your Karma?
SourceI always believe that anything that causes fear and makes people worried and afraid is not right. You should give people trust, faith, love and compassion.
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.
SourceYou are not responsible for everything and everybody. Relax, lean back and watch what others are doing. It is fine, enjoy whatever comes!
SourcePolygamous relationships don’t really work. If you are really in love with someone, you will be jealous, you won’t be able to avoid that! If you love your partner, it is impossible!
SourceSex is a very holy and spiritual act and the subject of soul and body, but not of the mind. If it comes into the mind, it will make you sick. You should enjoy sex with your soul and with your body. Don’t think of it, just do it!
SourceDon’t be shy to show a little gesture if you think it will make someone happy.
SourceEating is fun, no doubt, but it is not fun anymore when it becomes a habit.
SourceThe aim of each prayer is getting close to God. A prayer can be in any form. Different religions suggest different ways of praying and those who did not learn any way of praying, like children, have their own prayers.
SourceLove is when you want to enjoy and laugh together, when you want to smile and celebrate together but also cry together and give each other support in difficult times.
SourceScriptures were written by men, in a male-dominated society, when war, killing and fighting was a daily occurrence, when people were tortured, women were beaten and slaves were being held. You cannot call that holy.
SourceAll Gurus like to say ‘Money is bad and you should not keep it. Give it to me.’ That is how they are rich. Is that their wisdom?
SourceReal Sadhus have fully renounced from worldly life and don’t ask money of tourists!
SourceIt is difficult to believe in a God who sits in heaven, whom you cannot see, who doesn’t talk to you, whom you cannot touch, who is adorned with silver and gold in the temples and decorated with flowers, who sometimes gets stolen by thieves, which he cannot do anything about. If he cannot protect himself, how would he protect you?
SourceI love smiling and have the habit of laughing :)
SourceWhen you trust someone, it has to be blind trust. Either you trust or you don't. There is nothing in between, it is always hundred percent.
SourceDon't force yourself to fake happiness!
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.
SourceMaybe you are sad because you still love the other one and he or she doesn’t want to be with you but you still have to love your love! Don’t be angry with yourself for this feeling and don’t switch into hate because of this advice. It is okay to follow your heart.
