Today Regina said to me ‘If people do not meet you or don’t really get to know you they might be thinking you are just travelling, enjoying eating, have some meditation sometimes and otherwise hang around and do nothing. But when I see you and how much you are working, I am amazed.’ I told her yes, Ramona was saying the same to me. Maybe those who don’t know us think in this way but those who know us know how much work and responsibility we have and how many hours a day we need to spend for that. Continuously, without a weekend or Sunday. But it is good also, we love it and we have much fun in our work.
We enjoy it when we see how many people can get help and be happy. This gives us the joy and inspiration to work more and more. That is how we love our work. I can only do what I love. I often hear from people that they don’t enjoy their work. They do it because they have to do it, have to survive and have to earn some money. I cannot do this. I love what I do and I do what I love.
In the evening we had a nice fire outside on the terrace. It is still getting cool in evenings so that was just the right thing!

Swami Ji, I have a similar feeling with my work. It is not "work" in its intended meaning. The characteristic it shares with what people call work is he exhaustion I feel when the day is done. I revel in that exhaustion. It is a beautiful feeling that makes me very happy.

Life is short, live it! Do what you always wanted to do! Say it! Make it reality! You are the one in charge of your life. Love your life and live it!
SourceDo what you feel is right. Yes, you may need some more courage to face a few more storms than others. It might get uncomfortable sometimes but it would be much more uncomfortable for you to go against what you really want to do.
SourceDon’t manipulate others and don’t let anybody manipulate you. Don’t do anything against your nature and don’t let others lure you into a religious sect under the pretense that they are only serving God, not any religion.
SourceIf someone has trust and love, they can see God in a sculpture or statue, too. It is the power of their belief and love.
SourceIs spirituality something that you can learn, like mathematics or commerce? Don’t you think that being in love and living with honesty is true spirituality?
SourceI welcome, not only in my home but in my life, those people who either don’t have any expectations or whose expectations I can fulfill. I want people in my life who respect my feelings and care for my happiness as well as their own happiness. I apply a filter at the entrance to my heart, too, so that I can let those in who will make me happy and whom I can make happy.
SourceGod is there for you in every moment and he does what is best for you.
SourceDifferent cultural background or lack of common interests do not make friendship impossible!
SourceYou can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.
SourceBad luck or good luck are simply a manipulation of your mind, a psychological effect for those who believe in it.
SourceI only follow one rule: Break one rule daily. And I believe that we need to get rid of all other rules if we want to live free and with open heart.
SourceDistance from the ex partner is necessary to keep away the feelings of jealousy!
SourceThere is no plan and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We can take our decisions and have to take our responsibility for the consequences. Nobody knows before what will happen if you go one way or the other.
SourceDon't enjoy being a victim. Don't keep your problems like companions but let them go.
SourceBleach your face with ‘fair and lovely’ cream, get slim and tall with pills, make your vagina fair and tight – it is not this what makes you a beautiful woman!
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.
SourceDon't play for winning but for having fun. The aim is not being better and if you lose, there is no reason to be sad. This is the game. Somebody will lose, somebody will win. A game is there for enjoying. Winning and losing is part of the fun.
SourceHuman always wants to believe what is suitable and comfortable for them.
SourceIf you follow outdated scriptures, you would have to kill a ridiculous amount of people in our daily lives, most of the population would have a ‘painful doom’ and women would behave and be treated very wrong. It just does not fit anymore.
SourceWhen you meet someone, don't expect you to be 'best friends forever'. Just be happy to meet. Simply enjoy how nice the moment is without planning the future.
