*** 耶穌基督(一) ***
我們必須了解耶穌基督(所帶來)的訊息，但是在這個世上總是有一些人，他們宣稱自己是理性主義者，而且他們有權利憑自己的喜好，來給耶穌一些評斷，像我今天早上看的報紙，我很驚訝他們的言論，他們說："我們無法接受有關耶穌的這些部分，即祂是非受孕而來的胎兒(Immaculate Conception，註一)，及祂從死裏再復活(resurrection)，及......等等。"。這些人以為他們是誰！他們如何有權利這樣說？只因為他們有寫字的本領？或許他們以為自己是學者，或讀了很多的書，或認為自己很有本領可以談任何話題，所以可以依自己的好惡來談論耶穌的種種。但是有關靈性的課題，並非人人都有能力去談，尤其是那些尚未得到自覺的人。
耶穌的一生是一個非常神聖的生命，是一個完全不同(於世俗人類)的生命，這並不是一般(普通的)人類心智可以了解的領域，可以說是超越人類的心智，甚至詩人及藝術家也是一樣，除非他們是自覺的靈，否則他們也無法正確看待耶穌的一生。
耶穌是以一個人類的身軀來到世上，但祂不是人類，祂是神聖的(divine)，完全是屬於神聖的。其實祂只是"唵"(Omkara，註二)，這就是為什麼(聖經上記載)祂可以在水上行走，因為没有任何的物質成分在祂身上，或說祂身上没有物質(matter)。假如祂身上有任何物質，祂就無法在水上行走。假如人類將這些事實都抛棄，不接受祂的(無受孕)誕生，不接受祂在水上行走及種種的奇蹟，那麼耶穌基督還剩下什麼呢？我實在無法理解這些人。
在耶穌的年代，没有飛機、汽車，但祂(不辭勞苦地)走過許多地方，對人們談靈性的生命。當時的人尚未演化、成熟到那個程度，所以祂無法給他們自覺，但祂對他們談什麼是符合正法的生活(dharmic life)。祂甚至把十戒講到極致，即人不只不應該有通姦的行為，連淫穢的目光都不可以。
其他的降世神祇在人間時，舉止行為都像人類，例如錫呂羅摩(Shri Rama)也常哭，錫呂克里希納(Shri Krishna)也娶了許多老婆，但是耶穌則完全不一樣，祂的行為舉止從未像人類，祂未結婚，也從未哭泣，除了對天父禱告時例外。祂在人世間的特質顯示出祂的神聖特質(divine personality)，不只活出神聖的特質，面臨死亡時也像神聖的特質。當人們對抹大拉瑪麗亞(Mary Magdalene，註三)丢石頭時，祂站出來、站在她前面對大家說：你們没有犯任何罪的人可以對她丢石頭！這個勇氣與自信正顯示出祂的神聖的特質。
耶穌基督接受祂的死亡與復活，這對祂是一件自然的事，因為祂對此完全了解，而且在死亡與再復活的過程祂也没有任何變化，即祂不必去轉換(transform)，復活之後的祂是和死去之前的祂是完全一樣，因為祂其實是不需要復活重生的，祂只是藉著祂的復活重生來告訴人類：人是可以得到自覺，因自覺而獲得復活重生。
祂要傳遞的訊息並不是十字架，而是這個復活重生。假如霎哈嘉練習者了解這一點，那麼你應該知道自己已從一般普通人(的階段)重生到神聖的階段。
註一：Immaculate Conception大多是指:
"聖母瑪利亞及耶穌基督成胎時未沾染原罪"，但譯者認為Shri Mataji用此詞時指的是virgin birth，即聖母瑪利亞是處女懷胎，耶穌基督並未有人類的父親，這懷孕是來自上天的大能。
註二：即 Aum ，符號是ॐ。唵是太初之母(Adi Shakti)從至高濕婆神(Sadashiva
)分裂出來時，產生的第一個聲音，錫呂格涅沙(Shri Ganesha)即是唵的具體化(1990-12-25)。唵也是無所不在的神聖力量(Divine Power, Chaitanya,
Vibration)。
註三：約翰福音此處只提到一個淫婦，但並未指她是Mary Magdalene，Mary Magdalene出現在聖經其他章節時是其他的故事。關於Mary Magdalene到底是那一個人，還是有好幾位不同的人，一直有很多爭議。還好這無關重點。Shri Mataji 在許多談話中都提過耶穌基督和Mary
Magdalene 沒有任何關係，那些在瞎掰他們是夫妻，甚至有生下小孩的傳聞，是非常無知且可笑。

We have to
understand the message of Christ. There are many people in this world who try
to show off that they are very great rationalists and that they have a right to
pass any remark they like about Christ.
I was reading
the newspapers today, I was surprised where they are all saying one by one
that, “I reject this part of Christ that He was born with Immaculate
Conception. I reject that He was resurrected. I reject this and I reject that.”
Who are you?
Because you can write, because you have a flair, how can you say such things?
Just without finding out. You are a scholar, maybe you are very well read,
maybe that you think you are capable of saying whatever you like about any
subject, but the subject of spirituality cannot be dealt by people who are not
even Self Realised.
Because it’s a
very divine life, it’s a very different life.
It’s an area
where your mind cannot enter. It is beyond the mind. And so the poets or
artists, all of them who have worked on Christ’s life and have tried to say
things about him, mostly were realised souls and, if they were not, they could
not do any justice to His life.............
As a human
being, Christ came. He came as a human being, but he was not a human being. He
was divine. Absolutely, He was nothing but Omkara. That’s why He could walk on
the water.
There was
nothing materialistic in Him, you can say, no matter in Him. If there was any
matter, He could not have walked on the water. But if people start discarding
all these facts, about His birth, about His walking on the water and all that,
then what is left of Christ, I can’t understand..........
In those days
of Christ, there were no aeroplanes, there were no cars, nothing. But He went
from places to places and talked to them about spiritual life. The people were
not yet evolved. They were not mature enough. So He could not give them
realisation, but He talked about dharmic life. He went to the extreme of the
ten commandments, that He said not only that you should not do adultery, but
you should not even have adulterous eyes...........
Other
incarnations who came on this Earth, they had to do many things, like Shri
Krishna had to go in the war of Mahabharata, Rama had to go in the jungle to
deal with people, same with Christ, we can say, that He did go to all these
places, but He never behaved like a human being.
Others did.
Shri Rama cried a lot, wept a lot for His wife. Then Shri Krishna married so
many times because they were His powers so He married them.
So, though they
were incarnations, they had to very much do the things which human beings do.
Christ was never married. He never wept, as far as we know, except when He was praying
to His Father. He just asked that, “If You could remove this cup from my mouth
I’ll be very happy”.
So it’s shown
in His character that He came on this Earth as a divine Personality, lived as a
divine Personality and died as a divine Personality. ......
Christ accepted
His resurrection as a natural thing because He knew all about it and that He
didn’t have to change, He didn’t have to transform Himself. He was the same as
He was because He did not need any resurrection. He just tried to show in His
life that we, human beings can have our realisation and we can be resurrected.
His message is
not the cross but the resurrection and this resurrection, if you understand,
then one can understand also one more thing, that we are now resurrected from
ordinary human beings to the divine level........
He had nothing
to do with Mary Magdalene, but when people started stoning her, He went and
stood before her and He said, “Those who have not committed any sin, can throw
stone at her.” See this courage, this confidence was in Him because He was a
divine Personality,
