*** 如何帶領來上課的新人***
要(讓新人)得到自覺是非常容易,但是要(使他們)成為一個霎哈嘉練習者則是不簡單的。要成為一個好的練習者,需要在内裏有深度的成長。所以對這些才參加一次公開介紹講座的新人而言,如何將他們從目前的人類意識(human awareness)帶到神聖的意識(divine awareness)是一件困難的工作。
你必須以無比的慈悲與愛心及耐心來對待他們,絕對不要對他們講太嚴苛的話,如"你這個輪穴有問題"、"你被亡魂附身了"、"你是一個負面力量" .......等等,這會給他們太大的震撼。假如他們談到他們的導師是誰,也不要去批評他的導師,你可以問他說:"你的導師教你什麼?帶給你什麼?你有得到内心的平安嗎?有得到自覺嗎?"。你可以告訴新人在霎哈嘉將可以學到什麼、獲得什麼,你也可以接著說:"我們的練習者也有很多人之前學過其他法門"、"我和你一樣也學過......等等"。不要讓他們覺得被你的言語刺傷,和新人維持良好的關係是非常重要的。
假如新人太過於喜歡爭辯,或滔滔不絕講他的東西,那你更要靜下來,要放棄和他辯論,這樣子的新人是很難和他論理說明的。因為霎哈嘉是超越人的頭腦心智,他們並無法經由辯論來理解霎哈嘉。你和他爭論太多,反而會讓你的額輪阻塞,或是從他身上得到一些負面的東西。
播放一些我的談話影帶是很好的作法,可挑一些片段,不必放整片。看完影帶後若他們有疑問,應該和顏悦色地回答問題。要在課程上帶他們靜坐,在初期不必對他們談太多,這對他們及你都不好。當然你必須告訴他們如何靜坐,靜坐時你可以去檢查他們頭頂是否有涼風或熱風,也應該去感知他們是偏左脈或偏右脈,並告訴他們該放下右手或舉左手向後等調整方法。
我們應該知道我們是相信愛的力量,所以我們必須對新人非常和氣,不應該生氣發怒,或讓他們覺得不舒服。我們應該強調霎哈嘉的推廣完全不是為了任何金錢利益,必須讓他們感受到愛、祥和及安全感。
在新人面前,你們要互相支持合作,不應有任何爭論,尤其不應在課堂上去指正其他練習者的説法不正確,或任意去插嘴表達看法。假如有任何不同的意見,應該要私下講,否則會給新人很不好的印象,讓他們以為霎哈嘉這一群人有什麼問題,怎麼彼此有這麼多爭吵呢?
新人會從你們這些老練習者的行為、特質、互動、行事方式來評斷霎哈嘉,所以你們的行為舉止必須表現出你們是有深度、内在已得到啓發的一群人。
註一:在公開演講之後,若Shri Mataji對老練習者談話,一定會一再叮嚀如何對待新人,内容大致是大同小異。本譯文翻自最有代表性的1995-03-16 並參考1995-03-13、1995-08-02。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正.

To get realization is very easy, but to become a sahaja yogi is
a difficult thing. It’s a very deep growth that you require to become a good
sahaja yogi. As it is they are coming just now from that human awareness, which
you have to make a divine awareness. So it’s a very difficult task I must tell
you, so with all compassion and love you must deal with them, should never talk
sharply.
Sometimes sahaja yogis will say, “Oh, your – this chakra is
catching,” or they say, “You have got this bhoot in you,” and all sorts of
things. Then they get, you know, quite shocked. You shouldn’t say all these
things. Then if they tell you, “He has been to this guru, that guru,” in the
beginning you should not condemn also any guru or anything. So, all right we
have many like this, but they are all right now. But you can take also upon
yourself: “I was also like you, you see.” Somebody says, “I doubt.” “All right,
I was like you, now I’m all right,” so they don’t feel so hurt. It’s the most
important thing is public relations.........
And this will be a very big challenge to all of you, because you
are few and they are maybe more. So they will see from your own character, from
your own style how you behave. So always support each other. See, many people
start supporting other people instead of supporting sahaja yogis and sometimes
they even discuss and argue. So between sahaja yogis there should be no
discussions, no argument, nothing. You understand? Anything that you have to do
it, you should do it separately, not before the newcomers, because that creates
the worst impression and they think that there’s something wrong with these
people: “Why were they arguing among themselves?”
So you have to just support only sahaja yogis and nobody else.
Others are others, we are all one. Once they come to Sahaja Yoga they will also
realize. But this sometimes also upsets them very much that we are all the time
quarreling, fighting, saying things – as if we are not one.
Now only thing you have to tell them that, “You see, now if you
have a guru, what has he given you?” is the point. “Whatever you have given is
all right, but what have you given him is not the thing. What he has given you?
Has he given you the knowledge? Has he given you Realization?” You have to
tell. „Have you…”, “Did you get your peace? What did you get?” This is what you
have to tell and what you can get in Sahaja Yoga.
Best thing would be to play My video tape and let them see for
themselves. You can play it for half, whatever way you like. And then see if
they have any questions, you should very silently answer them. Then you put
them into meditation. Don’t talk to them too much in the beginning, because
that will spoil you and spoil them. All right you sit down for meditation, let
us see. Then you can just go and see on their heads if there is cool breeze
coming, hot breeze coming. And also tell him how to meditate. Then they will
ask you how to meditate. Then you have to tell them this is how [UNCLEAR you
have to meditate/you are doing it].
Now you should see whether they are right-sided or left-sided.
And accordingly you have to tell them what they have to do. But in a very
gentle and a sweet manner assuring that you will be all right. There’s no
problem. .........
Now we should know that we are believers in the power of love.
And so we have to be very gentle with people. And not to be angry, upsetting
them or saying things which can upset them. Like a businessman when he has to
get people, he’s selling something, he is extremely nice and gentle.
So now we should say we are selling Sahaja Yoga for nothing. Now
you have to give them that security, that peace, that love. Among yourselves
you should really behave in such a manner that they should really feel that you
are people, who are deep and you are enlightened. If one person is talking,
another should not jump in. Let one person talk and another should look after
another person. All this is going to help you very much to make the Sahaja Yoga
grow here.(1995-03-16)
And Sahaja Yoga is the power of love and compassion, not of
fighting or arguing. Supposing somebody is arguing too much then what should
you do? You should just give up. They cannot understand Sahaja Yoga with
argument because it is beyond the mind. If somebody argues too much or speaks
too much, just keep quiet with him. You cannot explain to a person like that,
you’ll just have a Agnya and all that from that person.
Now somebody who has been, say, to some guru or somebody, you
should not say that, “Your guru was bad,” or anything. But you can say that, “I
was also like you but it will be all right,” something like that doesn’t hurt
them. Then gradually they will realize that their guru was wrong. .........
Now one should (not) say also harsh things, “You’re a bhoot,
there’s a bhoot in you, you’re possessed,” never talk like that. Sahaja Yogis
must be extremely, extremely compassionate and kind. And don’t argue, don’t
fight, nothing.(1995-03-13)
So, this was a very nice time we had together and really it was
very successful all the programs. Now, you will be facing new people, who are
very good, I felt that way. First thing in Sahaja Yoga is to respect each other
and to respect all those who come to Sahaja Yoga. You know so much about Sahaja
Yoga, they don’t know, they have come for the first time, so be kind to them.
And the second thing you have to do is to really love them. In the program,
each one of them got Realization, very surprising, each one of them. I was
amazed really, that not one person did not raised the hand, everyone. So it is
going to be a pressure on you and you must look after them, no doubt. But I’m
sure you can do it very well.(1995-08-02)
