Tell me at least "my favorite."

My husband and I had a long

way from Iran to see you.

I'm so excited.

I do not know what to say.

I can not imagine you ...

Sorry for my words,

but you are such a simple,

an ordinary man.

My husband was once a communist.

I used to be religious,

and now only believe in God.

You could not ...

Sorry ... I'm confused.

Could you give me some advice?

New faith? Maybe

New God in whom we must believe?

If you have a piece of paper

or notebook, I write to you.

You do not need advice?

I believe devoid of talent.

Tell him to give me your email

address, I will be with him sometimes in the chat.

I only have a phone book.

These numbers connect me with my past.

You do not write to me

anything that would put me in the future?

I am writing to each of its handle.

I have only this.

I was very uncomfortable,

you can write it?

Sorry.

Why are you turning

back to him? It's not polite!

Three days later, hold the sheet

paper over a fire in the Holy City.

This will help you understand your future.

You see. He's an idiot. And you said

that he is a perfect man.

You're in my naivete

admire such people.

I forgot to sit on a chair,

that he could have re-married.

Can God officials

bless love?

I promised the teacher that Perfect

people sit on it and made it holy.

Such a sacred souvenir for him.

None ass can not consecrate this chair.

What are you trying to prove?

I left everything for you.

Even parents. But you are so selfish that

unable to face the man.

What are you trying to prove?

It's nothing. I'm just looking for the way

how do I get rid of doubts

and their prejudices. Do you understand?

I went with you, because I thought

that you seek the truth. I despise all those who

found the truth.

Anyone who finds the truth

becoming fascist.

I do not want to talk about God.

I'm a murderer, because I'm going.

God, forgive me!

Get rid of the ants out of my way.

I gotta go.

One ant died.

I heard him moaning.

One ant died.

Two ants ...

Three ant ...

Four ...

Five ...

O God, whom I love so much!

I'm looking for shelter under your roof.

Without You

my boat will sink in the ocean of ignorance.

Nailed my boat to shore.

Please

Come, let me hold you.

O God, whom I love so much!

I'm looking for shelter under your roof.

Without You

my boat will sink in the ocean of ignorance.

Nailed my boat to shore.

I revived many times.

I remember their past lives.

Once I was a cow.

One yogi once Maharajas.

Do not know what I did

did in past lives

God made me

now sick and poor.

I want to get rid of this world.

I want to die in Benares

and never to be born.

I'm waiting for God will

me. Help me, please.

What says the old woman?

These people believe that all creatures

that all human beings are not born once.

This is a very tedious cycle of life.

They are very tired

of involuntary suffering.

And they believe that if they die

in the holy place, the holy city,

they no longer have to be born

again and again. It stops.

All that is born again and again

causes of suffering - stop

but they need to give their ashes

River Ganges. Then all the suffering will end.

You speak very well in English.

Where are you from? Not from India.

In this life, I was born in Germany.

Led not very happy life. When

I turned 40, I decided to go to India.

For January 3 years I was there.

People call it the religious life.

I would call it

attempt to find the ultimate truth.

You have never lived in the jungle?

The last 4 years I lived in Burme.

Into storm forest. Once a day you go

for food, then came back to his house.

No one to blame. Only an idiot

that there is reeling - is you.

So you're starting to be very careful

relate to conviction. If

you will judge yourself, then you will suffer.

There are a lot of animals.

You learn to respect animals.

Why did you leave Germany?

Negative cause separation

with this old conventional life was that

I have not been particularly successful.

A positive reason was

I looked at his work and said:

"Is that all?" There must be something else.

Why did you leave the Western countries?

By and large, the most real,

you need to do - is to get the soul

and let it do what it is supposed

do soul. You can not burden our soul

endless reflections

then the soul becomes like a stone.

We must learn not to burden the soul all

the thinking that debris and help people

who know how to do it.

Concentrate on that,

Do not concentrate on that.

In the end, you have found the reality?

No. Finally, we find

that life does not give any guarantees.

I do not guarantee that I will get

the final release of

force loop

birth, death and rebirth.

But, in any case,

I am convinced that doing real business.

This case is just worth it.

Other cases only meet

some sense of satisfaction.

Chasing money, or

for glory, or even for something like this,

would run around in circles,

as demented mouse, like a hamster.

You want to say,

that help people to die?

I do not help them to commit suicide.

But I help them to focus on something

higher than 5 of pleasure

or the pursuit of some crazy idea.

Concentrate and work

on something bigger and grander

on value and quality. It turns out

the mind of the soul quite small and very fragile,

almost like a child's mind.

You will not regret?

I'm sorry? No.

The first thing he should

learn - is not afraid of death.

The second, which it must

learn - it is not to have regrets.

The third thing he has to learn -

be cheerful, when death comes.

My husband gave all our money

prostitute. Now we have no money,

to go to the hotel. You will not be

mind if we stay here for the night?

I hope this night become a mother.

This boat is

possible. We have enough space.

Thank you.

This is the mother river of holy Ganges.

People give the river the dead.

They give the Ganges ashes of the dead.

They pee in it and drink its water.

Here you can see life and death.

You saw a woman's body floating in the river?

Tell him that if God exists,

He created this world as a game, and he

expects nothing from his servants, except

mockery of his insane creation.

If God exists, He

certainly regrets that he had made man.

It therefore allows a person

have children, but destroys them by the thousands,

in floods, storms and earthquakes.

Mom, do not worry, we will find firewood.

In excess. Do not worry about it.

This pyre is lit

always. Of it will not go away.

In rich countries, will not see this.

But here you really

can see this in detail.

Because of this, people really get tired,

even scared, because it's so obvious,

so badly.

No escape. Only burning.

If this was the end, it would

relief, because the suffering is over.

But after burning - again birth.

After all, at this point people are convinced

we die, we are reborn, die

reborn, die, reborn.

After all, it is mandatory

terrible suffering.

Do you see that? He was

rich man. Lots of wood.
