My friend Sonja and Carolin, her daughter came to visit us in the Center in Melle. I had not seen them since April last year. It is always nice to see Carolin. I love her unconditionally since her early childhood. She is now ten years old and whenever I see her she has grown again. It is amazing to see how fast children grow and become teenagers, then adults. Sonja and Carolin came because of a little problem for which I gave healing. It had helped her before and it will help her again.
In the evening I gave lecture. It is nice to have this rhythm. The students have a meditation in morning, then some classes with physical exercise and then in evening I give a lecture. This is how yoga is. It is for your mind, your body and your soul. You have Hatha Yoga which is like food for the body, Gyan Yoga which is food for the mind and Bhakti Yoga which is food for the soul. Like this you get the full package.

You have to approach life and all your practices as if they are a whole.

When now I read this I try to think again if there is something which nourishes all, your body, mind and soul? I will say either Yoga or Love.

I have found such a balance in myself since starting yoga, I almost can't remember how I let myself feel as badly as I did before I started!

Religious belief and superstition can hurt the feelings of your friends.
SourceThe top scientists of India don’t trust their own work enough but have to ask God for support. Unlucky numbers are skipped. Doctors are afraid of bad energies. These people are all literate but unfortunately not educated.
SourceA miraculous healing is usually not any miracle but just the natural strength of the body. The full credit goes to the healer who pretends that it was him who could heal.
SourceYou don't have to sit down with crossed legs, close your eyes and breathe deeply in order to meditate. Meditation means to be completely present, to be fully aware of what you are doing in that very moment without your thoughts racing around in past or future.
SourceWhy are holy religious scriptures full of violence and blood?
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!
SourceGod can be your friend whom you trust, with whom you can share everything and who can be mother, father, son or daughter to you.
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?
SourceBeauty shines from within - not through Make-up.
SourceIf you made it your habit not to ever judge anything and anybody, you would get psychological problems as you would not be able to make independent decisions on your own and would never know which way to go.
SourceIn western culture sharing is not important. People divide and own. This is mine and that is yours. This is my car; that is your house. It is the ego of owning something. There is too much individuality. Share with others!
SourceYou can often hear someone say after their first night ‘It was really a good night, I had wonderful sex’. This doesn\'t mean they did anything special. It is amazing because sex itself is such a great thing. It is not the quality of the woman and the man, it is the quality of sex itself.
SourcePeople embrace religion simply as a good way of doing wrong without a bad conscience.
SourceEgo can make you blind so that you are not able to see the truth which will affect your decisions.
SourceDon’t set the moral standards for another person higher than for yourself!
SourceIt does not show intelligence if you make an easy topic difficult to understand but if you can present a difficult topic in easy words.
SourceYou can never be satisfied with material because there is no limit. There is also no end to love or God. When you are in love you want to feel it more and more. You want to feel God more and more deep.
SourceThere is proof in the scriptures that shows that the caste system is deeply based in Hinduism. We need to change this religious belief in order to stop the caste system.
SourceSuperstitious people don’t trust in themselves or their abilities and decide that it was not their work or talent that brought them money and success but some mysterious force. Obviously this makes them insecure, as they never know when their luck could leave them - so they have to keep on following superstition, trying to remain successful!
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if people stop giving false comfort to others using his name.
