Jan 14 2013: If we study human history more violence and wars took place because of religion. Religion probably brought some solace to their particular adherents but also gave place to hatred towards others who do not share their particular viewpoint. It will be quite a boring and dull place if everybody in the world had only one opinion or belief about some aspect of nature or Divine. Diversity is the reality and let everybody live in peace in a spirit of interdependence and harmony. Life is the biggest teacher and let everybody discover for themselves what causes happiness. But this much is sure. Thought is like an energy. If we harbor love in our heart it comes back to us so also hatred it come back and hurts you.it is high time man starts questioning whether religion ( all religions included) is part of the problem of lack of world peace.

Jul 22 2011: beautiful talk. everybody is evolving she is finding her personal joy and happiness in the feeling of unity with everything around her.if you live your beliefs then you become a powerful battery of change but that is gradual and takes time . who knows if she sees the criticism of her ad about anti aging products she may hence forth stop it in future and live her beliefs. all of us have weaknesses but still we want people to like us. she is talking the truth about the nature of self and many people will benefit from her experience in life
Jun 14 2011: ego is very fragile and unstable and it is not the truth.it restricts the consciousness. when you share your consciousness with others it comes out of limitations and happiness is felt . that is why whosoever has an altruistic streak or whosoever thinks about how to make others happy escapes the narrowness imposed by ego and feels happy.
Jun 13 2011: since happiness is related with thoughts and feelings which are spiritual in nature one has to take recourse to spiritual means to achieve happiness. mind is subtle in nature when compared with matter and hence we have to train our mind to percieve subtle things . there is a universal force or energy which pervades everywhere and which animates our life and causes the production of thoughts and feelings in our minds.if we understand and feel that we are part of that universal force and not seperate then we realise that we are all interdependent and depend on one another for happiness. just as smoke arising from a chimney of our neighbour's house influences us or makes us aware about it happiness or sadness from one's heart spreads in the spiritual environment and influences others. the trick is try to be in the company of happi people and one will easily remain happy.
May 29 2011: religions based on dogmas are on their way out. knowledge based on truth,and science will prevail in the long run.to be happy is the birthright of every human being. and how can a person who bears prejudice a negative emotion be happy . a negative emotion will not allow happiness to coexist. religions only breed prejudice
