----覺醒的信心----
有些練習者在霎哈嘉已經到達很高的層次，但是突然間又掉落到非常低下的境地，這讓我頗為感嘆與傷心。他們之所以會這樣，乃是因為他們没有信心(faith)，對自己、對霎哈嘉没有信心。
霎哈嘉相信上天的大能(Divine Power)是存在的，這無所不在的大能是隨時照顧我們(練習者)。你可以感覺到它、知道它。但是雖然你知道，並不代表你的内裏有堅實的信心。這信心就是耶穌基督所説的信心，它不是一種盲信(blind faith)，它是一種經由覺醒的心智所產生的信心。盲信可能帶你走上錯誤的道路，但是這種覺醒的信心(enlightened faith)，會讓你變得很有力量，你也不會有突然間又墜落的問題。
我們必須來了解這種覺醒的信心。你去看耶穌基督的一生，祂知道祂將走向被釘在十字架，祂必須去扛這十字架，祂必須去做這些事，祂接受這一切，祂知道祂已被安排這樣的命運，祂就去做，祂没有不滿，祂不需要別人和祂一起來承擔，正是祂對自己的信心帶給祂如此巨大的力量，祂就去完成祂一生該做的事。祂不管人們的嘲笑與揶揄，在祂的内心祂知道這所有的一切，這只是像一齣戲而已，那些嘲弄祂的人並不知道祂是誰。祂對自己、對無所不在的大能有完全的信心，可以說祂本身就是信心的化身。以祂的力量，只要一個眼神就可以殺掉那些迫害祂的人，但祂並没有這樣做，因為祂知道祂必須經歷這一切。終究祂走完了這一生，祂也從死裏復活，向人們顯示：人内在有一個靈，這靈是不會死亡的。衪最終是完成祂的任務，祂是一個勝利者。
你們和耶穌基督的差異，可以說是信心，祂本身即是信心，信心是祂的一部分，對祂而言，不存在"我必須有信心"這個問題，而你們則必須有信心，你們必須去相信自己。
我可以告訴你們很多有關信心的例子，我在羅馬尼亞時，有一位女士無法走路，他們用輪椅將她推上台。她對我說："母親，我知道妳可以治療我，沒有人可以治療我，但我知道妳可以！"。她說了三次，我說："所以妳相信我可以治療妳？"，"是的！"，我說："那妳站起來！"，她就這樣站起來，然後開始走路，甚至開始跑步。在場的人都笑了出來，他們說："母親，她並不是霎哈嘉練習者！"，我答道："但你們看她的信心！"。因為一旦有信心，所有的眾神都必須出面來處理，是祂們及無所不在的力量受到挑戰，祂們不得不去做！假如你對祂們表示你的信心，祂們會出面來處理，立即去解決問題。事實上，假如你不要懷疑你的信心，那麼你是可以控制任何事物的。
像某人生病了，有些練習者就會説："母親，某某人病了，我們必須帶他來讓您治療"。這是完全没有必要的，你們本身就可以治療他，你的信心就可以治療他！有一次有位練習者的叔叔住院了，他的叔叔並不是練習者，他去探望他的叔叔，他叔叔是等待死亡的癌症患者。他只是跪下來祈禱：母親請治療我叔叔。三天之後他叔叔就離開醫院，目前還健康地在世界各地遊走。雖然他叔叔不是練習者，但只因為一位練習者說出了這些請求，眾神們就必須去處理。所以你們必須對自己有信心，有完全的信心！假如你擁有這些大能，為什麼不去用呢？為什麼不去發展這完全的信心呢？你們是霎哈嘉瑜伽士，你們是處在上帝的國度裏，這個上天的大能會自動照顧你，如此你就不再躊躇不決，不會猶豫，你不會在乎必須去新加坡或非洲或任何地方，因為無論到那裡，你仍是在上帝的國度裏，你都會受到照顧的，所以完全不用去擔心。你們往往只是許多事物的奴役、時間的奴役、種種制約的奴役，(所以才有那麼多擔心及猶豫)。其實你的種種擔心及掛念等皆是不重要的，没有一件是重要的，只要你和你的真我在一起，其他的一切都是無所謂的。
像人們常問我："母親，您旅行如此頻繁，您是如何能勝任呢？"，我就告訴他們："我從未旅行，我只是一直更換椅子而已，在這裡坐這張椅子，然後到那裡坐另一張椅子，我從未想到我是在旅行，我只是舒適地、安安穩穩地坐在椅子上而已，所以我如何會累呢？"
所以當你對自己有完全的信心，你就不會在意這些小事、瑣事。許多人出門前就開始擔心："那邊的住處是否有私人的浴室？是否會有地方睡覺等等？"，這些都不重要，你的靈的舒適才是你應該追求的。假如你同時也可以找到讓身體舒適的地方，那麼是好事一樁，否則你也可以睡在任何地方。没有任何事物可以限制妨礙你，可以把你往下拉，因為你的信心將完全潔淨你、照亮你、滋養你，所以過去的習慣好惡無法再來主宰你。
當你有堅實的信心時，不論事情是如何發展，你都不會感到沮喪，所有發生的一切都是為你好，都帶給你福祉。縱使你迷路了，你知道本來就是會如此，(沒有必要為此感到沮喪)。
所謂的有信心並不是指將信心放在你腦袋裏或心裏，信心指的是一種狀態，這種狀態是你們必須去達到的。你絕對可以經由霎哈嘉來達到這種狀態，當你達到這種狀態時，你在霎哈嘉的復活重生才真正完成、真正建立，也才是有效用的，你將是全世界的模範。

I have seen
people who go very high in Sahaja Yoga, come up very high and suddenly they go
down very low. It makes Me very sad, extremely sad. The reason is that they
have no faith — faith in themselves and faith in Sahaj. This is the faith which
is missing. You have to have faith in yourself and faith in Sahaj.
Sahaj means
there is the Divine Power. And this all-pervading Divine Power is looking after
us. It is now felt also. You have felt it. It’s not only by saying is there.
You have known it is so. But even knowing that, it has not become such a faith
within you, but this is the faith about Christ has talked. This is the faith
with an enlightened mind, not the blind faith. And with the blind, you might
make mistakes. Why with the enlightened one, if you have faith, you become
extremely powerful, extremely powerful. There cannot be any problems if your
faith is enlightened. ..............
This faith is
to be understood. This is an enlightened faith. Like Christ, He went into
crucifixion. He went into all kinds of things just because He knew. It was just
a drama and He was doing all this just in a drama, play and there’s nothing
serious. Nothing is going to matter and that is going to resurrect Himself. He
played a drama
To Him it was
nothing very serious. He saw people making fun of Him, mocking at Him. He also,
in his heart, knew everything, that these people who are mocking don’t know
what I am. But at the same time, He was the embodiment of faith, faith in
Himself and in this all-pervading power.
.................
Now, the
difference between us and Christ is that faith was part and parcel of His
being. It was not that He had to have faith. He was faith. Now we have to have
it. We have to believe in ourselves.
There’s so many
incidents I can give you, which you can tell me, so many incidents where just
the faith has helped. If you were in Romania, I think it happened, one lady
came on the stage. She couldn’t walk. They had to bring her on a wheelchair and
she said, “Mother, I know You can cure me. Nobody can cure me. I know you can
cure me.” She said it three times. I said, “So, you believe that I will cure
you.” “Yes.” I said, “Then get up.” She just got up, walked out. And then she
started running all the way and everybody started laughing. They said, “Mother,
she’s not a Sahaja Yogini.” I said, “See her faith.” Because when there is
faith all the deities take it up. They’re challenged. They have to do it. They
have shown faith in that person. As I’ve told you always, in Sahaja Yoga we
trust people. We trust. One among hundred might be deceive us. Doesn’t matter. We
trust. That faith you put in that person works in his mind also, that they have
put so much faith in me. But what about deities? You show faith in them, they
work. Immediately they work out. Like Guido told me that “Mother, that they
said there will be heavy rains for these two days.” I said, “All right. Don’t
worry.” Where is the rain? It disappeared. You can control anything if your
faith is under control. And when we talk of faith, you know, is the challenge
to this all-pervading power which organizes, which knows everything, which is
so intelligent, efficient. Above all, it loves you. And then you show
faith. ..........
Everything is
for our good, for our benevolence. Suppose you are lost on the way, know that
it has to be that way. ......
If you have to
look at the life of Christ, He was to be crucified. He had to carry the cross.
He had to do all these things. It’s all right. Whatever. “It’s fated. I’ll do
it.” He never grumbled. He never grudged. He didn’t want anybody to share His
problems. But this faith in Him gave Him such a tremendous powers. He could
have done anything. He could have killed all these people who were trying to
persecute Him — easily. What’s the harm. Just one glance could have killed
them. But no. He knew He had to go through all that. He went through it.
Ultimately, He’s the one who’s victorious. He’s the one who won
everything. ..............
I’ve seen them.
Somebody’s sick. They’ll say, “Mother, he’s sick. I must bring him to You. You
must see them.” There’s no need at all. You can cure. Your faith can cure. You
know about somebody who’s uncle was sick who was not a Sahaj Yogi. He went down
there to see him and his wife said that, “You are capable of praying to Mother,
why don’t you tell Her to get my husband all right.” He was a cancer patient on
death bed. He said, “All right.” He just bowed down and he prayed. “Mother,
please cure my uncle.” Third day he was out of hospital and now he’s roaming
about all over the world. Though he’s not a Sahaja Yogi, still it has worked
because now a Sahaja Yogi saying that, the deities have to work it out. Though
he’s not a Sahaj Yogi, doesn’t matter. It’s the deities who stood by it. And
this one has to believe in one’s self, fully — that if these powers are with
us, why we not use it? Why not we develop that complete faith, that we are now
Sahaj Yogis, we are in the kingdom of God and that this power is going to look
after us. Then we’ll have no choices. We’ll have no hesitation. We’ll not
bother if you have to go to Singapore or you have to go to Africa or go
anywhere. So what? We are still in the kingdom of God wherever we go. It’s
perfectly all right. And no worry of any kind. We are slaves of so many things,
of our watches. We are slaves of conditionings, things like that. Everything
drops out. Doesn’t matter. What does it matter? Nothing is important. As long
as you are with yourself, everything is all right.
Like people
tell Me, “Mother, you travel so much. How do you do it?” I said, “I never
travel. As I am sitting here in the chair, I am sitting there in the chair.
That’s all. Only the seat is changed. I never think I’m travelling. Nicely
sitting down, settled in my seat I’m all right so I am not tired.
So when you
have complete faith in yourself, then you don’t bother. Many people will find
out whether, “I go there, there’ll be a bathroom or not or will there be a
place to sleep or not. Nothing. You are looking for the comfort of your spirit.
If you get, well and good. Otherwise you can sleep anywhere. Nothing can bind
you. Nothing can pull you down. No habit can come back on you because faith
will purify you completely. It will enlighten you. It will nourish you.
This faith is
not something that can be put into your heads or can put into your hearts.
Cannot be. It’s a state which you have to achieve and which you can achieve
through Sahaj Yoga. That’s how our resurrection will be completed, would be established, would be effective
and for the whole world will be a model.
