On his birthday at Bimmerale Hall, Oppenau near Bad Antogast, where people from almost every country were present, Guruji asked for a birthday gift from all of us. He said that all of you have to give me a birthday gift. You all have to promise that each of you will realize how beautiful you are.When you see yourself as beauty,divinity dawns and truth gets realized.This is satyam shivam sundaram, we will go reverse, beauty first, then divinity and then truth. He also said that we should ask others whether they feel they are beautiful or not. If they say no, then tell them that whatever they do will also be ugly. If you feel beautiful everything you do will be beautiful, and you will spread beauty around you.If you feel ugly,you need to do Sohum,Sohum..and you feel clean again is'nt it?

He said when he first came to europe what attracted him most were the yellow colour wild flowers growing all over the landscape. He said that everybody does not see and appreciate them but that is not the flowers' problem. Similarly if people do not see your beauty it is their foolishness, that is

not your problem ;)  

He said the sign of intelligent people is that the

y spend their time in celebration, fun, music and introspection. Foolish people spend time in complaints and addictions. He looked around at the celebration around him ( a four storied cake, water pistol, flowers, music and dance from almost every country) and said,

"so we all are intelligent".
