The reason why this Bhakti-Festival and spiritual seminar week takes place ...
Every single soul is called by Radha-Krishna. Not only perceiving this invitation, but accepting it as well and shaping life as a grateful response to it, represents the inner path. The ignoring of this invitation is expressed by the latent restlessness - the in the depth just perceived impulse to pass by the real thing. The reason for this festival is to keep alive the fascination and to intensify it. In one, there is a longing to indulge in oneself, and at the same time one also feels the desire for control and wanting to keep track of things. Bhakti does not mean to engage in the struggle of reluctant inclinations in oneself. That would only strengthen their position. This is the moral approach of spirituality. Bhakti fans the small flame of innermost trust in us and strengthens what we are ultimately devoted to: burning love of God. In this fascination, aversion may melt away and proves the resistance to be superfluous. He could not have guessed that such beauty really exists. Bhakti is a way of life that aims to delight Radha-Krishna, regardless of what one's own life-track provides for experiences. Disease is just as well-accepted as health, loss not less valued than profit. Because everything is about such a fundamental inner alignment, which amazes so much that one loses the self-evaluation of the temporary at a passing phenomena. The Bhakti-Festival at the Schweibenalp is already giving a foretaste of this.
Sadhu Sanga
For thousands of years, people have come together to seek questions about the ultimate existence, the true.
On the same earth and under the same sky countless souls have trod the path of immortality (dharma-amrita - Bhagavad Gita 12.20).
It is up to us to commit this path of experience with all sincerity. This means not only looking back to the saints of the past in gratitude and appreciation, but effectively reaching out to new insights and insights that have never existed before.
Is the pulse of my entire existence really trying to find the truth?
Self-realization is not a making or creating process, but a discovery. The real identity of the soul is only seemingly hidden from the idea of who we think we are. It is hidden from the idea of what our identity is. This wrong view is the direct consequence of our indifference to God.
Sadhu Sanga creates the space in which the discovery and the recognition may happen.
The true is not conveyed in a few words or a few pictures taken.
It has a huge consequence. Some who had looked at it laughed only ... others are only crying in ecstatic weeping, while others remained very quiet.
It is certain that this retreat, if we engage in the readiness for the full consequence, will open the door to the gift.
Everything should always be considered fresh with eyes that were not born in time.
Each interior path will lead you to challenges that can be a big shake. All previous views may collapse; one may walk through a desert of sadness or one will perceive an escape impulse of an intensity one did not know yet. And sometimes you experience impulsive pleasures .... in all you are invited to persevere and move forward silently.
