| Coming back home after a wonderful silent retreat with Madhukar at Arunachala it is spring here. Also nature that we see refers to the Self. It is an appearance in the Self, partaking of its reality, because the true nature of that appearance is identical to the Self. In that sense: Love is. |

| Grace is everywhere and always, but as long as we believe we are the body we need a guru in the form of a body. Silence as well is everywhere and always, but near Arunachala silence is more silent. Together with Madhukar many members of the sangha will be at the foot of the mountain where Ramana Maharshi lived and who declared Arunachala his guru. Love is. |

| The Satsang in Stuttgart finished a happy year with Madhukar. The first event next year is the retreat in Goa, India, followed by many occasions to recognise your true Self. And in between: Sometimes being silent is the simplest way to find out, who we have always been. Love is. |

| The obvious answer to the question of the result of a spiritual search is “to find out, who we are”. What looks good at first is wrong, because it assumes a searcher, a search and the searched. The surprising answer is that we are already what we are looking for and that subject, object and activity are one. Nothing but Love. |

| Suddenly already half of the year has passed. After midsummer the days start to become shorter, first slowly and than faster. The Self is without change, its realisation ends the cycle of suffering. And when this is done without doubt: forget everything. Nothing but Love. |

| Every spring nature awakes with an incredible force. The birds are singing and the diversity of greens are a joy for the eye and the heart. A new cycle of life begins. It is pointing to the indescribable behind all things, that about which we can only keep silent. It is the unreal within the real, the divine play, which has to be played skilfully. Nothing but Love. |

| There is a place in paradise where the bell rings every day at three thirty to have tea and Britannia biscuits. This is the place where about 50 members of the Sangha attended the silent retreat "Awakening" to enjoy the beneficial effects of Arunachala together with Madhukar in Satsang. The collective view of the summit of the holy mountain is Love, is Self. Nothing but Love. |

| The satsang in Hamburg on Nov. 19-21, 2010 closed a year with Madhukar. While Europe is fighting with snow and cold, the thoughts of many members of the sangha fly to India, where Madhukar opens a new year with the retreats in Goa and Tiruvannamalai. This morning I had a dream: I am That. Woke up and am That. Nothing but Love. |

| Who leaves home to begin a search; who changes his life to become happy, know this: There is no path, we are already there. We are already that which we are looking for: Peace. Nevertheless, the "right path" (Buddha) can be helpful. Nothing but Love. |

| The wind of life blows from all directions, sometimes softer, sometimes harder. Only in the center of the compass rose nothing moves, around the center, the Self, rotates everything. Therefore it is good to realise who we are, and have peace hereafter. No matter from where and how strong the wind is blowing. Nothing but Love. | |

| Who makes himself dependend on the arrival of this summer is lost. After the summer solstice it stays cold in Europe, even if some rays of sunshine give hope. There is only one thing to do: To recognise who you really are. You are not the body, you are not the mind. Then the true sun of your Heart will shine. |

| A long winter is ending. Sometime between equinox and May there is the first warm day on which one wants to shout: NOW! And in your life there is the day when you realise who you always have been and you laugh about yourself because you ignored what is so obvious. Love is. | |
