Fake

In his blog Swami ji also shares his opinion on people who are attracting others with magic tricks and false promises.

Many honest seekers are drawn to people and fake gurus who call themselves an incarnation of some God, to people who seem to be performing miracles like materializing gold or ashes or making statues bleed and to those who pretend to have a connection to beings that nobody else even has heard of. And then these honest people are cheated, lied to and nearly robbed.

It happens often and Swami Balendu wants to make everybody aware of this problem. You are responsible yourself for your actions and you have to take action for you own life! Live it!

Words of Wisdom

  • Happiness

    Many poor Indian people are happy and proud even with the little they have. Reduce your needs and learn to be happy with less, even in the abundance of the west.

    Source
  • Love

    Don’t love with the condition that the other one acts the way you wish.

    Source
  • God

    God is the soul of our souls and lives in everybody in the form of love.

    Source
  • Religion

    Virtues is like fictional money with which you can buy an entry ticket for heaven!

    Source
  • Expectations

    Don’t play a role but simply be yourself. Take off any mask that you might have been wearing because of someone’s expectation.

    Source
  • Sex

    Being spiritual cannot mean denying your sexuality and becoming celibate. Accept your sexuality in a spiritual way. Sexuality, driven by love, can be only spiritual, nothing else. God created us how we are and with sexuality being a part of us. Do not neglect that.

    Source
  • Feelings

    People cannot express what they feel. They often do not even really know whether they like something or not. They look at their neighbours and see what their reaction is. Then they can imitate it. Easy.

    Source
  • Religion

    Every Non-Believer is too stupid to understand Religion! – Really?

  • Religion

    I don’t believe religion was previously good and pure. On the contrary, I believe it was made with the purpose to manipulate and control people. When religion was created, people were afraid of things they could not understand. Religious people gave explanations and could thus control them, taking their fear like a leash. That is not pure, that is not good!

  • Religion

    Isn’t it crazy how religion is often only a way to manipulate people? Just tell people often enough that something is God’s wish and they will believe it!

    Source
  • Magic

    Even many educated Westerners are interested in materializing gold and thus fooled by Gurus promising fake powers.

    Source
  • Life

    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!

    Source
  • God

    God 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.

    Source
  • Gurus

    Insecurity and lack of self-confidence makes people search for a guru.

    Source
  • Self-Esteem

    Low self-esteem lets people worry about what others think of them. Don't try to be perfect in your action and reaction. You are perfect as you are.

    Source
  • Smoking

    You can stop smoking right now; it is only your willpower, only your wish and only your decision. Promise yourself not to touch any cigarette in your life anymore even if you die because of it. I can guarantee that you will not die without smoking.

    Source
  • Emotions

    It is normal to have ‘negative’ emotions like anger, sadness or jealousy. Allow them, accept them and let them go. If you fight and struggle you will suffer more. Find a reason to be happy again

    Source
  • Soul

    Illusion only exists with the limitations of this earth. Once the soul is liberated and free of the body and this material world, rich or poor, high or low does not matter anymore.

    Source
  • Charity

    If you cannot or don't want to help others, at least don't hurt them. If you cannot give a helping hand, don't be cruel or harsh either, especially with those who love you.

    Source
  • Presence

    Act with the knowledge of what happened in the past and with an idea of what you want to achieve but be in presence, be here and now.
