What is the purpose of life?

Is the purpose of life to accumulate money and things?
To raise a family?
To run after pleasures?
To be as happy as possible?
To fulfil one’s own desires?
To build and follow habits?
To be after acknowledgment and reputation?
Set one’s own memorial?
To repeat this all?
To pass it on to one’s children?

Or is it:
To rise above expectations and desires?
To learn from mistakes?
To overcome one’s own ego?
To serve God and people?
To focus on Oneness as everything is connected?
To become light and love?
To become heart and human?
To connect with eternity?
To awaken from a worldly sleep?
To live and die for God?
To be absorbed in His will?

What is your purpose of life?

Fight for so-called glory and honour

Man does not consist
Only of clothes in his outward appearance
He carries symbols, labels
Of different cultures
Customs and traditions
No, he wears these clothes
Inside too

For these differences, he starts wars
Wants to make his difference as his crown
But when he takes off his clothes
Inside and outside
Then he sees that we are all the same
Are one race: Are human beings

Shouldn’t we finally start
Change our point of view?
Shouldn’t we stop wars and hatred?
Envy, greed, ego, lust for power
To take them off like a superfluous dress?

Shouldn’t we be as natural
As a human child comes into the world
Innocent and unsullied?

Then difference merges into oneness
And all differences cease to exist

Then the difference does not lead to war
It leads to trust, understanding, and respect

There is only one way of unity
The way of love…

With and without motives

Every evil deed
Needs an excuse
A pretext
A good reason
To justify it
Under the cloak
Of power, greed and control

Every good deed
Requires no alibi
No insidiousness
To be selfless…

Possessed by Possession

Thousands of people sit
On their money and possessions
They do not know
That their possessions possess them

They are slaves to their greed
Sharing only with a few
Giving alms
To ease their conscience
To deceive themselves

They are the rich ones
Those who feed on the poor
Who suck the blood from them
Who know no shame

Their souls are bound by it
Their hearts have lost sight…

DidiArtist, 16.08.2021

The other side of power and money

It is a shame that a few people
Have control over many people
They cannot even control themselves
Are in love with themselves
Love leadership, money, and prestige
Their greed for power drives them
Makes them blind to:
Modesty, humility, genuine sharing with others
They do not know that it is they
Who are not admirable
Are blind in their actions
Are prisoners of their own greed

An honest and loving heart cannot be bought
Through power and money…

We have forgotten our true home – by Sant Kirpal Singh

Understanding the big deception

We come with nothing

If only we deeply understand this
That we cannot take anything with us
Once we leave the body
Money and gold can no longer deceive us

Since we leave with nothing as we came

DidiArtist, 30.10.2021

Money rules the world

Is hope and destruction
Is help and exploitation
Makes greedy and envious
Proud and submissive
Is a means to an end
For dreams and wishes
Is sorrow and happiness
Is joy and pain
Is rollercoaster of emotions
Makes dependent and repressed
Violent and demanding
Makes corrupt and blind
Is human and inhuman
Is power and influence

Consciousness also means:
Being generous with money….

Only when man changes

Politics is like:
Questioning people and parties
Without questioning oneself

Result:
Corruption, wars, and injustice
Fight for power, poverty, abuse
Exploitation, change of the climate, etc.

Remedy:
Man know thyself
This is spirituality…

DidiArtist, 07.08.2021

Control and power

In the roots of the ego
Hides a great secret
Insatiable greed
Control over the whole world
For more and more
Over people and nations
Without a will of their own
As obedient servants, puppets
Human beings as possession
Every means is justified for it
To operate from darkness
To banish heart and light
Greed without limits
A mirror to oneself
Narcissistic love
A power play without equal
A shadow existence
Unconscionable action
Bloody wishes
Waiting to be fulfilled

Who rests in this ego? …

DidiArtist, 29.06.2021

Game of mind

 

 

Some people are like cats
They play with their victims
Play cat and mouse with them
In this way they increase their appetite
For control and power

Facing the consequences

 

 

Within us there is the gate to God
As well as the gate to hell
Good and evil in alternation
Cycle of good and evil
Blood for good
Blood for evil
Deeds and thoughts flow
In these streams
Divide, constantly in battle
At the end there is a reckoning
The path is drawn…

Too late

Man often only understands
When it is too late…

DidiArtist, 30.04.2021

Shameful deeds

 

 

Man looks for a reason
To reach his goal
At any cost
Even at the price of human lives…

DidiArtist, 01.05.2021

 
 

Greed for power

 

 

Up to the highest echelons
Bargaining for power
Power struggles, corruptions
Maintaining power, expanding power
At any price
Paid with lives
Play God and the world
They do not know that they are lost

Have lost their souls…

DidiArtist, 10.04.2021

 
 

In the clutches of the mind

 
 

 

Someone who is in the middle
Of his demanding mind
Running after desires, worldly pleasures
Is a slave of his mind
Acts with ego, anger
Attachment, lust and greed
Remains unteachable
Until he understands
Learns through suffering and pain…

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

 
 

 

The thousand faces of the ego

 

 

Sometimes we run after power
Sometimes bath in lust
Sometimes drink from the straw of greed
Sometimes are like oil and fire
Sometimes are possessed by possessions
Sometimes act like actors
Sometimes persist to be right
Sometimes convince with lies
Sometimes lose honour for little advantages
Sometimes are prisoners of wishes and desires
Sometimes hate even others for their otherness

We all change the masks permanently
To feed our ego and mind…

Time to be aware of our thoughts, words, deeds and its consequences…

Human bridges

 

Let us build bridges
From religion to religion
Mutually bridges
Leading to God

No bridges
Of hate and violence
But bridges
Of loving essence

Bridges, which connect
Which do not seperate
The scaffold of humanity
Turning hate into love

Let us build bridges
Create brotherly love
Broaden our horizons
Leaving no wounds

As we all sit in the same boat
Are not black or white
Are connected lights
Drops of the Ocean Oneness

DidiArtist, 27.04.2015

Our Earth, a living Being

 

 

O man, with billions of spines
You sting your own home
Destroy seas and forests
You take our air to breathe

O man, in your boundless greed
You eradicate diversity
Of countless species, creatures
You are destructive and unconscious

O man, for how long are you going on like this?
Before you realize, it is you
Who ruins our world
Our wonderful blue planet

O man, more and more species are disappearing
You stand there with the torch
And burn the ice of the world
Indeed, you are responsible

O man, how much more stupidity you have to commit
To realize that we are one
With our nature, this great organism called EARTH
To live with her in Harmony

Our earth will definitely present you the bill
If you think only of yourself…

I am an Alien

 

 

I live among people
Who hate each other, go to war
Where blind rage draws faces
Laws degenerate: eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Where people chase each other
To blame each other

I live on a planet
On which power, tyranny, egoism, money-greed rules
Where weapons and sharp words speak
Masses pour out in anger
Suppression is on the agenda
Man himself is next

I live in a boat called humanity
That staggers on the ocean violence
Where holes are chiselled in the planks
Threatening to sink the boat
Where stubbornness screams to the skies

Really, I live in this world
But I am not from this world

My heart belongs to the One
Where love is my home…

Difference between saying and doing

 
 

 
 

Greed for money

 

For many people
Money is more important
Than humanity
They lose themselves
In accusations and prejudices
If their wishes are blocked
They quickly try to find a victim

If only they would look in the mirror…

A bit of attention and love

 

 

We, humans, are social beings
Need each other
Seek for comfort, security
Want to be respected

Some look for the outer way
In clothes, in styling
Outbid each other with tattoos and piercings
Want through sensation attention

Others brag about money and power
Holding property to show
Invite to disfavor and pride
Want to be envied

Still, others outbid each other
To “celebrate” to be sick in competitions
At the cost of health and life
Want to be in the limelight

Again others escape the world
Search their peace in the virtual world
Carry out their competition there
Want to obtain virtual acceptance

But what do we really want?
A bit of attention and love

We should distribute them unconditionally
Without show and expectation…

Power game

 

 

There are always only a few people
Who decide over war and peace
The common people suffer
Mostly in the event
Of an escalation between nations

They are the pawns
Of a strategic power struggle…

Chair of Power

 

 

Some are stuck in their seats of power
They think they are indispensable
It shows weakness
Not to free the chair for others

They want to rule, dictate
They have tasted the power
Now they are addicted
Are themselves controlled by it

Strength is to recognize
When to resign
Hearing the call of time
To leave the chair in honor

The sting of power is deep in them
They are poisoned by it
Their heart tied in a small space
They only hear their own voice

Give way to the power of humanity
Your time is up…

Selfish mind

 

If we are conscious
That God is everywhere
How can we hurt other people?
As in all people
This power is there too

We can only hide us from Him
When we are unconscious
When we ignore, hide Him in us
When we deceive ourselves
Play a game or make a show

So let us become conscious
Knowing that we are all one
That He is the One in all of us
Let us treat therefore with respect, love
As this is love and respect to God

From good thoughts
Good words and deeds will follow
On the foundation of honesty
Which is honesty towards God and Oneness
A tool to clean our impure mind…

Dusty wishes

 

 

The more we identify us
With material things and dead matter
The more our spirit turns
Into dead matter…

Turning the heart into a stone…
