Yesterday I wrote about the business that is done with spirituality. They abuse people’s wish and longing for spirituality, for guidance and for love. Once a woman from Australia invited me and said that she would organize my program, my healing sessions, and additionally she wanted to advertise my children sponsorship project.
You might have read on the website that you can sponsor one child for only 140 Euro per year. This child will get books, pens, school uniform and whatever is needed. The woman offered me that she would advertise it but she posed one condition: she wanted to get 50 per cent of the money for each sponsored child. She even suggested that either I gave her the half, 70 Euro, or I should take double so that we both could get 140 Euro. She also wanted to have 50 per cent of the donations for healing sessions. I refused and then she got very angry and started to spread bad rumours about me. She wanted to ruin my reputation.
I cannot give the money from healing sessions to anyone but to those who really need it: the children in India do need food, clothes and education. I do not give half of the money of their sponsorship to anyone else nor do I increase the price just to make another person rich with this. I would feel like cheating those who give it and those who should receive it. From the donations of the healing sessions I do not give anything away, either. Several people already wanted to ‘share’ this money however this is for the kids. Organizers get a percentage from the workshops and seminars so that they can cover their costs. However nobody should abuse the healing money. It will not be digestible because its energy will not be good.
Very good was the energy of our food today. Yashendu and the participants from the cooking workshop cooked with much love and effort some very nice dishes in Anita’s kitchen. Anita was in India in March with two of her friends and she liked the food in the Ashram so much that she invited us to do a cooking workshop in her kitchen. They cooked a lot and we will have enough for tomorrow, too.

Other wise men have been writing about their indignance over selling spirituality for years. But people will always try to buy, and corrupt people will always be read to sell. Corruption is so easy. Being good is also easy.
What a crazy woman, what exactly did she think the purpose of charity was, I wonder?
You are right, Swami– cheating with the money that goes toward healing taints its energy. Money given with generosity and love has pure energy, and it should remain this way. That was pretty immature of this woman to get angry and start rumors about you after you refused her offer. She is trying to make money deals with the wrong people! You can’t scheme charities out of their money…
Dear Swami Ji,you introduce here a very interesting thought that money can have good or bad energy. Now I do not wonder that I am unable to do any online banking and feel uncomfortable to make any money deals.
OK, I have plenty of good energy though which is generally a pleasant thing.
For example today with a MONTH delay I got papers that I had to sign that I recieve scolarship. It seems that I was sending out wawes – do not give me money all this time…
