錫呂格涅沙和平衡(下)

---錫呂格涅沙和平衡(下)---

第一個輪穴(指根輪)是母親大地所創造的，然後整個宇宙是由第二個輪穴所創造。但是第一個輪穴散發出神聖(holiness)及吉祥(auspiciousness)，正是吉祥帶來平衡。
只有處在平衡時才會有吉祥。我發覺人一旦失去平衡，他們不是跑到右邊，就是跑到左邊。有些人非常正直(righteous)，極度的正直，也是很好的瑜伽士，但是他們(心中)没有愛。没有愛的正直是完全沒有意義！愛並不是表示你沈溺在某事或某人，而是你必須有不執着的愛與責任。所以在我們的人生裏，我們應該注意自己是否有這種平衡。

錫呂格涅沙是住在根輪，祂控制根輪附近的感官，特別也包括排泄的功能。對於性，我們不宜沈溺於其中，但也不宜有禁慾的觀念，而是要有平衡的概念。這就為什麼你們都應該結婚，你們必須有一個正常的生活，有幾個小孩，有一個有尊嚴的婚姻生活。這是非常重要的，尤其必須有愛在裏面，夫妻之間、和孩子、和父母之間都必須有愛。假如一個人失去平衡，那麼整個家庭都會不平衡。
我發現在西方社會裏，這個平衡瀕臨毁滅，你看有這麼多的同性戀問題及這個那個的問題(譯者：應該是指性變態、性犯罪等等)，這是由於不平衡所造成的，所以人們走到極端去。另一個極端則是苦行禁慾，人們走入了違反自然的道路。其實平衡才是最符合自然的，假如你没有處在平衡，那麼就會出問題，不是變得太過，就是不及。這就是人們受苦的原因。

從錫呂格涅沙的輪穴我們可以學到如何行事，例如我們購買東西，我們也要會將這些東西往外送，而不是一直買，拚命地堆置在家裏。對於我們的知識與想法也是一樣，我們會從各個地方獲得形形色色的知識與想法，我們應該只消化那些對我們有益的，其餘的就毫不留念地將之丟棄。例如昨天一個人來找我，她是一個天主教徒，她無法離開天主教，但是她想學霎哈嘉。我告訴她："妳就留在天主教，教義中和霎哈嘉相通的，如妳必須尊崇基督的部分妳就接受，至於其他一些不正確、無意義的部份，妳就把它拋棄。"  

面對各種知識、觀念、書籍及任何我們所讀的，我們必須發展出一種能力，消化吸收對我們有益的，拋棄那些對我們不好的，這也是一種平衡。

For example, the first chakra is created by this Mother Earth and the, all this universe then is created by the second chakra. But the first chakra is the one which emits the holiness, the auspiciousness which gives balance.

Auspiciousness comes only through balance. So I find people when they have lost their balances, they go to the right or to the left.

People are very righteous, extremely righteous, very good Sahaja Yogis, nice, but there is no love. Without love righteousness has no meaning. Love doesn’t mean that you indulge into anything, but you must have detached love and responsibility. So in our life we should see if we have that balance or not. It’s very important if we have to see to Shri Ganesh.

Shri Ganesh as you know is on Mooladhara, he controls all our senses as far as the Mooladhara is concerned, especially all the excretion.

So we are not people who believe in the indulgence of it, neither we believe in the detachment of it but in the balance. That’s why you all have to be married, you have to have a proper physical life and that you should have proper children and lead a very sensible, dignified married life. That is very important.

But Love should be there, there should be love between husband and wife, between children and parents and everyone. If one person goes into imbalance the whole family goes into imbalance. To establish a family sweetly and nicely is also an art and if both of them agree and say that we’ll do this way I’m sure it’s not difficult because you are Sahaja Yogis you already know the quality of balancing.

What I find in the west now is the balance has gone really on the rocks because, see now there are all kinds of problems of homosexuality and this and that and all that, this is just because of imbalances, people have gone to that limit.

Another is asceticism where are your people are ascetic, made ascetic like in TM and all that, they have taken to these things because these are unnatural things, natural is to be in balance. If you are not in balance then things go off and you become either too much of something and nothing of the other, that’s how people suffer.

So from Ganesha’s, Ganesha’s chakra we have to learn what are we doing. So sometimes we have to, say, accumulate things, we have to consume things and then we have to throw them away also. It is not that what ever we consume is just stored up within us or in the house, so we must also learn how to throw away things and how to take inside, this is in our household, in our thought also.

In our thought also, when we receive some thoughts from anywhere we should only digest that is good for us and is digested because of Parama Chiatanya, the rest should be thrown away, you shouldn’t bother.

Like yesterday somebody met me, she said Mother I am a catholic and I cannot get out of Catholicism, she is supposed to be, she wants to do Sahaja Yoga, then I said you stay inside Catholicism because there is no question of balance. But in Sahaja Yoga what ever good of Catholicism, means that you have to worship Christ, that part is all right. The rest, whatever is nonsensical has to be thrown away.

So the whole atmosphere that you face of thoughts, of ideas, of books, whatever you read, you must develop a capacity to consume that is good for you and whatever is bad you should throw away.
