Yesterday I said you need to have a stable opinion. I was yesterday mainly talking about having your own opinion which doesn’t change with everyone you meet. But it is also a very common thing in the ‘spiritual scene’ that people change very quickly and are not at all stable in their opinion. This, too, is the effect of it that they are not sure, there are always so many doubts.
And of course they are searching. They are searching for the truth. They go to someone or something, an organization or a master or Guru, someone who knows the truth and who leads them towards it.
I like it when you are looking for the truth but I would like to say: the truth is nowhere outside. This is why you always got disappointed and couldn’t find it anywhere. Your truth is inside you. Search in your love and in your honesty, there you will find truth.

Ah spirituality. It is a quest, as are so many other things.

Searching for truth is a funny phrase because it would imply searching the world for something when truth is there already, inside of you.

I wouldn't ever find myself, now at least, searching for truth. Just being. Just loving. I spent over 20 years looking for truth and my conclusion was that it is a befuddled and misleading word. Don't search for truth. Just be honest in love. All other issues will take care of themselves. There are very few things in this world that matter.

Swami Ji, Being a wise man you must have experience with people turning you into a wise man in their minds. They believe that you have the answers and that you will show them "the way", and as you sit and council them you use your words to point them inwards, carefully and creatively. And so they are surprised by what they hear and occasionally resistant. Words do not reveal the truth but they only point to it. If a person lacks an inward understanding of your words they may go unaffected by them. They may find things to disagree with when you are not speaking to be agreed with or disagreed with. When disagreeing can only suggest misunderstanding. Sometimes people feel very sure of what they believe but not in a helpful way. They trust themselves or claim to trust themselves because they have sensed something profound and built many beliefs around this sense; so many that they are no longer sensing, and what was momentarily profound has turned into madness. Thank you for your words. I always learn from them.

Sexual feeling is just innocent and a part of your body. With your body growing, your feelings also get more mature with age.
SourceDon’t bring business talk everywhere. Stop it, at the latest when you go into the bedroom. No business is allowed there anymore, just love and the relationship of you and your partner.
SourceDoes a soul get more comfort by expensive rituals after death?
SourceEven if your thoughts do not match, you can still be friends. Even if you disagree in a hundred of points, you can be friends. You need to agree at least on this one point though: you trust each other and have love for each other.
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.
SourceReligion has always worked like a dictatorship, exploiting people, using fear to make them accept the rules without asking. The dictator makes the rules and you have no way to change them.
SourceThere is no moment in life in which a light is switched on, like a bulb, and from then on you are an enlightened being that can give enlightenment to others, switching on their inner light bulbs with just a little trick.
SourceBe aware while cooking and eating that you are doing something important. Love your food and don't waste it.
SourceGod doesn’t want to own a house or a temple, he is just there, living in our heart. It is the greed of people who want to own land – and if they can possess it on the name of God, they do.
SourceAnger, ego and other emotions sometimes create aggression but think how far you want to let these emotions take you. Who knows, maybe time changes and a bitter relation changes again for the better. Bitter and better is only one letter apart from each other.
SourceSomeone tried justifying all gender differences by saying ‘god made women different’, not realizing that it could mean that men are the ones who are different as well.
SourceYou invite others to celebrate because you want to share your happiness. It makes you happy when others celebrate your happiness together with you. If you are happy but alone, you cannot really enjoy it. When you are sad, too, and someone is there with whom you can share it, your sadness is reduced. You need closeness so that you have somebody to share your happiness and sadness.
SourceHow come a girl loses her honour when she has sex with a boy that does not fit? How come honour is connected with having sex at all?
SourceSome people who believe in reincarnation neglect their own responsibilities. There is always a very convenient excuse: that happens because of my past life!
SourceThe average Indian person will tell you that it is wrong to have sex before marriage. They think sex is something dirty, even if they are married. Before being married however it is thought to be a sin!
SourceThe school is the place where you learn how to learn.
SourceDon’t plan to stop smoking tomorrow or at some other time. If you say this is the last cigarette, the one after it will also be the last one, and another one and another one. It will never be the last one. You have to make the decision now.
SourceReduce your Stress-Levels! You are not responsible for everyone else!
SourceYou have to accept your anger. It is a natural feeling, created by god. It is a negative feeling, yes, but you are not bad if you feel angry. It is there and you need to live it!
SourceReligion is a dictatorship with inflexible outdated laws.
