25 Aug 2009 Tucson, United States of America
Category: Travelling
Today was our very last day in Tucson and soon we will start our way to Phoenix to take a plane from there to New York. We definitely had a lovely time here and met many wonderful people. I want to thank the Seva Center and the people there who opened their hearts and welcomed us in their home before my words and a misunderstanding triggered anger.
It is okay that this anger was there and I always encourage people to express their emotions, no matter what kind of emotion it is. But in the end, we know it is all about love and we have to overcome emotions of anger and hatred and we have to come back to love and peace. We are all connected through our souls and should not live in this negative energy. I have nothing bad for them in my heart but I am sending love and blessings for them, their family and their center. They opened their hearts and home and I have been guest in their homes and would like to invite them to come to my home some time and be a guest there. I have received many long emails, too, and I am sorry I cannot reply each one personally, so here I am writing to you all: Thank you for your love and taking your time to write to me. I am sending you lots of love deeply from my heart. And of course I also want to thank Gigi, who opened her home for us in the rest of the time.
Apart from our beautiful friends Victor and Jhan whom we already got to know when they came to our Ashram in India, we met many more people here who welcomed us full of love. With the Global Chant group we met a group which is just open and spreading love, not only through their words but also through their actions. We also want to thank Doug and Deborah who are going to be here soon to take us to the airport.
This is how we leave Tucson with our hearts full of love and we want to invite you all to come to India so that we can hug you there just as we hugged you here. We know that some are already making plans to come and to visit the children and us and we hope we will see many of you there!

Ah. Anger. How sad. I hope that in the end these situations were resolved and there wasn't harm to your friendship.

It is sad that so much anger comes not from actual harmful things but mostly from misunderstanding.

Why is a woman’s virginity or her sexual purity called her honour?
SourceTeach your children respect for others and themselves. Otherwise as adults they will start having psychic problems, don’t love themselves and don’t respect their body and feelings. Sometimes they even start hurting themselves. And there is nobody to stop them and set them limits. If they are not nice to you, why would they be nice to themselves?
SourceScriptures and religion install fear of magic and ghosts in children and adults.
SourceReligion keeps people under control by creating a feeling of guilt and having sinned. That is why they always promote that you cannot be 100% happy with yourself and your life.
SourceAccept your feelings, accept yourself. Only if you accept yourself you can respect yourself. Be proud of who you are and what you have inside! Each of these steps is important because only if you respect yourself you can love yourself. And only with this love to yourself you can give love to others and receive love from others. Then you are open for this universal love. Accept yourself, respect yourself and love yourself!
SourceDo not make yourself unhappy by comparing too much!
SourceThe average religious person of the middle-class would be so much happier if he left religion and superstition and lived his life without it!
SourceIf you believe that someone whom you are beating could improve in any way through this, you should follow the same rule. After a mistake, go to someone who is stronger than you and ask him to beat you a bit so that you can better yourself!
SourceIt is nothing new that this society is focused on money. It is nothing new that the masses don’t care about the individual. But what about you? Why are you playing along?
SourceYou should not trust god completely because if you do, you will die, waiting for him to come and help you! Fool god, tell him that you believe in him and have full faith while you would never actually trust him that much!
SourcePeople say scriptures cannot be changed. Okay, but then why do you need to follow them?
SourceReal friendships get more and more beautiful the older they get. Keep them alive and enjoy the age of your friendships.
SourceInner changes need time, even in a fast food culture.
SourceAfter Import in the West, Tantra became red, white, black and sexy!
SourceMany people in the ‘spiritual scene’ change very quickly and are not stable in their opinion because they are never sure but always in doubt.
SourceIf a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!
SourceOn the market of arranged marriages, nobody would like to marry his son or daughter to a divorced man or woman. Damaged goods, when the women are concerned. Men who have been left – who knows for which reasons? Maybe he was beating or a drinker… it must be something really bad, otherwise why would someone go until a divorce?
SourceDon’t let your ego keep you from saying sorry. It does not make you small to apologize. Overcome your ego and apologize for the wrong you did.
SourceDon't lie just to please others!
SourceMaking a relation is easy. Breaking a relation is also easy. But to maintain a relation will need devotion, love and trust.
