Outside we may appear like a fertile garden
Full of fruit trees and lush vegetable beds
Which represent our fulfilled wishes
But inside we are dry, barren land
As we have not yet drunk the water of life…

Lack of Determination
Whoever has his chair between two camps
Will neither know the one place
Nor the other one properly
He sits on the chair of indecision
Is neither here nor there at home…

The perennial nagger
His characteristics:
He knows everything better
Criticizes everything
Knows an answer to all questions
Speaks ill of others
To take a bath in the limelight
His hobbies:
He judges and condemns
Spares himself
Without nagging
Because he is not aware
Of himself and his doings
May he find the road of life
In humbleness and respect…

Self-cheating
We just want to hear
What we like
Any truth that is contrary to us
We sweep under the carpet
Are we afraid
That our innermost is discovered?
Are we anxious
That the truth harms others?
Are we frightened
That we lose appreciation?
Are we scared
That our ego is losing something?
It is an illusory world
That we are building
Leading us to dependency
On the opinions of others…
How much honesty towards ourselves do we have?…

Painful Understanding
Only a deep pain breaks through
The wall of our ignorance…

Learning to be Thankful
When we have lost our jobs
We start to see what we had
When we have lost our freedom
Only then we start to appreciate it
When we have lost stability of our life
Only then we understand its meaning
When we think we are lost
Then we are really lost
As we think
So we become
When we think that each thunderstorm will pass
No wind can treat us like a leaf
When all is back to normal
We are aware – in thankfulness what we have…
Understanding rises out of problems
Is medicine to make us aware of our own value:
We are all human beings
Children of God
Have to live in harmony together
To bring out of us: humanity, thankfulness

Game of Mind
If we stop playing
The world can no longer capture us…
First, we have to understand this game…

Not Always Comfortable
Inner Eyes
Captivated Passion
Inner Battlefield
Outside Shining – Inside Fouling
How many angles and corners are there in us
Where chaos and disorder reign
Where dirt accumulates
Dust is setting down?
How many impurities are in us
Which we have neglected
Falling into oblivion
Where no external soap helps?
On the outside nice and clean
Well-groomed appearance among witnesses
Inside without hygiene
There’ s no one watching
But inner dirt
Moves motives on the outside
Hidden, concealed
Determines our thoughts, actions.
Our internal residence
Like a mirror:
What is inside is outside
What is outside is inside
We should be dust and germ-free
That the inner dirt
Does not become external dirt
With the soap of innocence and honesty
We cannot hide from ourselves nor from God…

Time for Self-Introspection
Many questions come
Addressed to ourselves:
How has my life been so far?
What have I done wrong?
What can I improve in the future?
So much dirt in my thoughts
Garbage in words and deeds
Pyramid top of a now and here
Time to take stock
Who I was, who I am
How many people have I hurt
Including myself?
In the hamster wheel of equal deeds
Bad habits?
Shame on myself
Every thought, every word, every action
Has a heavyweight
When they hurt
It’s banging against the walls
Of one’s own heart
The scale shows
Where we stand
Honesty and confession may help
To cleanse us from dirt
To become a better person…
Time to bring about the change in us…

Virus: Ego and Mind
Ego and mind of a man
Is like a virus
It needs a host
To multiply his power through:
Money, selfishness, pride, greed,
Attachment – packed in wishes
Detachment is the solution
Even from oneself
To be one…Self…
This virus is spreading around the world
May we all find a serum against it
DidiArtist, 30.03.2020
Self-Introspection
If we don’t look at ourselves in the mirror
To find the original reflection of it
Then we cannot see us either
Do not know who we are
What we are
Where we come from
Where we have to go…
Then the purpose of life
Is covered by our ignorance…
Man know thyself…

Coronavirus: An appeal to Humanity
Let us all stand together
Overcoming differences through our heart
Whether rich or poor
No matter what colour we are
What religion we belong to
What country we come from
This virus affects us all
No one is spared
Spreads fear and terror everywhere
But it can unite us
Make us conscious: We are all one
Are all humans, a big family
This virus gives us the understanding
That nothing is certain
That everything changes
What is today is different tomorrow
But it can wake us up:
To treat each other as human beings
Let us conquer terror and fear
Walking in humanity and respect
Help each other, make sacrifices
Coming together from man to man
Anchoring love as the strongest force
And hold us from heart to heart
In the end, we all can come out as winners
When we have learned our lesson:
We all are human beings, no better, no worse
Just a big human family

Pure Hearts
Gravity of Love
Between Tears and Smiles
Inner Fight
Arrogance and Pride
If we believe
To have tamed our mind
That we smile at
Then it is our mind
That smiles in our face
Another mask
A mirror of our thoughts
Prisoners of our mind…

Engraved in Memory
Be Good, Do Good, and Be One
Gulch between man and man
Where differences exist
People split themselves
Fought out in understanding
In grade and shade
Where man takes sides
Roads are forking
Towards individual directions
When the spirit splits
Politics here, sports there
Parties here, groups there
Separate in fighting
For dogmatic views
Teeth hold on to opinions, ideas
In the alliance of collective egos
With war-voices: only we!
What a human failure
Understanding is fragmented
Unity sacrificed
For own advantages
Man thereby divided
Differences need connections
Bridges that unite
Build unities
Love between human and human
Oneness of love and peace among people
A new horizon of understanding
That we all are one
In the One…
A cosmic symphony, divine notes…

Darkness cannot be overcome by wearing white clothes… quote by Kabir
In search of mistakes
Hope for a change
When we deeply regret our sins with our tears
It is Christ who washes them away
He provides us a new beginning
Gives us strength and courage
His biblical Word: resonates like an echo
“From now on sin no more…”
Old dresses are putt off
Replaced by clean clothes
The lie changes to the truth
The dirt gradually to cleanliness
A process of consciousness
Distinction between right and wrong
In everyday life, we should sieve:
Separating the bad from the good
How much dirt is there still left
That we do not see yet…?
Consciousness is:
To recognize oneself
To make us visible
What and how we really are
“Every saint has his past
And every sinner his future…”

Spreading violence
The more we deal with violence,
Through movies, games, media
The more it influences us…
Is passed on:
In thoughts, words, and deeds
A virus of our mind…

Missing honesty
How much nonsense goes out into the world
Out of stupidity, ignorance
Acting and posing
Out of greed for power, money, reputation
To achieve advantages
By a selfish attitude
To be better than others
To instill arrogance
Overconfidence
Dripping vanity
Condemnation
Unfair usage of elbows
Let us see the good in people
Because bad things create bad things
While good things sow good things
Therefore, we have to be more honest with ourselves…

Presciousness of listening
An egostic ear
Can only hear
Listen to itself…
