We arrived in the morning in Frankfurt and Thomas picked us up at the airport. It was amazing to have the change of temperature from 20 to minus 2 degrees Celsius and to be welcomed by snow. It was a sad atmosphere yesterday when we left the Ashram. My mother’s eyes were full of tears when we said goodbye. It is of course always like this and this is the special sweetness of a relation of a mother. This makes us sad but I was also looking forward to come to Germany and to meet friends and start work again. The drive of the airport which is actually only 150 kilometers took us five hours in Indian traffic. In the plane I already started looking forward to have a croissant for breakfast and I remembered the German bakeries. When I told this to Thomas at the airport he immediately called Iris so that she could go and buy croissants even before we arrived at their home. So the first thing was a nice breakfast, then we slept a little bit but we are still now tired.

Mother's love! I leave home often and my mom cries every time. I don't know why it's so hard for her, but you can tell she really loves me in a way I just don't understand because I don't have babies. It is sweet.

Swami Ji! I know what you mean about German bakeries. I am in India right now and I would LOVE a little German bakery break right now.

Important is not how rich you are but how happy you are.
SourceDo what you feel is right. That will make you happy.
SourceFighting your ego - a continuous struggle with yourself?
SourceYour decision of not feeling guilty also shows your forgiveness. When you are feeling guilty it means you cannot forgive yourself. Accept your mistake, say sorry and leave the guilt.
SourceThe energy that you have while cooking also goes into the food that you are preparing. Please do not cook when you are angry. Cook when you are in good mood or make your mood good before you start cooking.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he makes clear that poverty, hunger, war and rape is not happening by his wish.
SourceMeditation has become a sign of being spiritual or religious. Don't do it regularly however simply because your religion tells you to. Such a ritual often becomes a habit and loses its benefit.
SourceThe scriptures of any religion, culture or country can be written by very intelligent people of old times and we can see them as great literature but they should not be taught to children as ideals of how to behave though. They are fiction and many of them are full of blood and violence, creating an illusion for children that this behavior could be religious and good.
SourceDevotees who sleep with their gurus actually got bored from just having normal sex and now enjoy making a new fantasy reality: having sex with a religious wrapper. Devotion to God and the joy of sex – double pleasure!
SourceDon’t you think your personal happiness is more important than what the rest of society thinks?
SourceIf you leave all religions and just surrender yourself to love, you will be free of the feelings of sin and guilt. Love will liberate you. Choose this path and you will be free from fear.
SourceYou are more than a body and not only your body. People should love you not because of your body. Your real freedom would be if you did not use your body as a medium to attract people’s attention.
SourceHow would you describe spirituality? And what can you get from reading someone’s experience? For you, spirituality can be very different. And that is truth.
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.
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 take everything personal!
SourceI love what I do and I do what I love.
SourceSuperstitious people let superstition rule their complete lives! The funny thing is that they won’t even notice while a non-believer watching them will think they have completely lost their minds!
SourceYou cannot buy blessings with a donation to a temple. You cannot buy luck and a good destiny like rice on the market. You have to create it yourself!
SourceBe yourself, live your true feelings, don’t hesitate to show them even if you think they are negative!
