SADHANA

"SILENCE IS the source of healing. In the silence of our inner being, we can let go of all our frustration, sadness and anger. Meditation is the way to awaken and develop our inner being, the inner silence and emptiness, the capacity to surrender to life."

"Silence and love are two aspects of the same phenomenon. The inner silence, the inner emptiness, is expressed and are experienced by others on the outside as love. It is a quality that surrounds a person like a perfume. Healing is pure love. It is a quality that we can freely share".

SATSANG

"REAL LOVE IS to realize that we are one with life. Real love means to understand that we are one with the other person, with nature, with the trees, the stones and with the blue sky. It is to realize that all of life is God."

THE WAY OF THE HEART

"THE HUMAN HEART is a healer, which heals ourselves and others. The human heart is the dimension of love, joy, acceptance, trust, intuition, understanding, playfulness, friendship, compassion, creativity, silence and a sense of oneness in love. The open heart is like an overflowing fountain of love, which does not make any distinction between "I like you - I do not like you". The open heart is open for ourselves and for others. The open heart is unconditional love. The open heart is the door to surrender to life".
