*** 拋棄你的特殊感 ***
有些人覺得他們是非常特殊的人，例如我叫某一個女士來幫我畫腳上的符号，之後有人告訴我："母親，她覺得她很獨特"，我說："為什麼？"，"因為您叫她來為您畫腳"，我答道："但是我叫她來做此事的原因，是因為我知道她有嚴重的額輪阻塞，這會導致她帶給大家很多麻煩，所以我想將之清除掉"。她的想法是令人十分訝異，看來我應該直接當面告訴她：妳是一個自我很大、很可怕的人！否則她是不會了解事實。另外有一位女士，她對親戚及旁人非常不好，她來找我時，我(在房間內)斥責了她一頓。當她到外面時，她對他人說："你看，母親召見我，没有其他的人是被允許去見母親的"。當我(輾轉)聽到此話時，我只能摇頭，這是人類很可笑的行為。
人們會覺得他們很特殊，或覺得應該讓自己顯得獨特，這是讓我非常為難，有時候我只是為了表示我的愛而去贊美一些事，但是人們却因此而墮落下墜了。當我給人禮物或表示我的關心，是希望他們成為一個好的瑜伽士、一個謙虛誠實的人，但是人們却開始覺得自己很特別。
一個小水滴掉入海洋之中，它成為海洋的一部分，它再也不是水滴了。假如一個人覺得他很特殊，那麼我們知道他仍是一個小水滴，仍未到達融入海洋的境界。只有仍是小水滴的人才會覺得自己是很特殊的，這些以為自己很獨特的想法是來自你的過去，當你不再停留於過去，你就失去你的特殊性。
在霎哈嘉裏，必須要完全去除認為自己很特殊的想法，不論是覺得自己很特別，或自己很偉大，或自己不同凡響，或自己比他人優秀，這些都必須消失。但並非只是頭腦這樣想，或是成天唸著："我並不特殊！我並不特殊！"。假如你把它當口訣唸，有一天你會開始覺得：''你看！誰可以像我一樣，一天唸兩萬三千次的''我並不特殊''！''。得到自覺後，你就像海洋中的一滴水，你也成為海洋了，再也不是一個水滴，再也沒有屬於水滴的相對價值觀，即在霎哈嘉之内，並没有一套標準或系統，可以來告訴你是較高或較低。這些高低的標準造成了世界的種種問題，不論是印度的種姓制度，或西方世界的種族主義，或是自我認為的我的宗教比你的宗教好等等，這些都只帶來麻煩，而没有帶來什麼好處，所以在霎哈嘉裏面，我們至少不要把這些病毒帶進來，即我比較好、我的國家比較好等這些想法。所以要讓你覺得自己獨特的想法褪去，而讓你内在的美麗特質展現出來。要做到這些，你不需要一個特殊的膚色，或特別的身體，或特別的容貌，你需要的只是一顆美麗的心。正是這美麗的心吸引周遭的每一個人。

Also, in Sahaja Yoga you have lost your specialities. Some of
them think they are very special. Supposing I call some lady to put, say, some
altar on My Feet. She starts thinking she is very special, but I just call her
because I know she has a horrible Agya and I have to clear it out. And when
somebody told Me, “Mother, she thinks she is something very special”, I said
“really, what makes her think like that?” “Because You call her to put some
altar on Your Feet”. I said, “I just call her that she has such a horrid ugly Agya,
that she will trouble everyone, so I want to clear it”. So, either I should
have told her that “you are a very egoistical, horrible, and all the words that
are possible, “otherwise she won’t understand. It is so surprising. There is
one lady who was really very nasty to her in-laws and everybody in India, and
she came to see Me. I actually scolded her, I said “what business you had to
behave like this here? Your father, who was such a racist – you never said a
word against him, now why are you talking so much against these people?” – I
scolded her! And she went out and told – “Oh, look at me – Mother has called me
– nobody is allowed to see Her” – I said, “What’s this?” It’s a very funny
situation with people – I sometimes feel. The way they think they are something
special and they should make themselves special, it is becoming really
difficult. Now, just to show my love, to appreciate something, people have,
gone down !! – and if you give some present to that person or you show concern
about that person because he’s done some good work or something, he starts
thinking he’s something special. I mean, it is an impossible situation, because
I expect that if I have done anything good to that person, or in anyway
suggested my concern about a person, that person has to become a very good
Sahaja Yogi, in the sense – the most humble and honest and loving person,
otherwise it has no meaning. No use being good to anyone if that means that
person jumps into hell. So, this one is also another idea of speciality, that
they have lost their sense of speciality.
When a drop becomes the ocean, it has become the ocean but it’s
not the drop anymore. If anybody thinks I’m a special person then know that you
are no more an ocean, you are still the drop, because, unless and until you are
the drop, how can you feel that I’m something special. So, you have lost your
speciality, you have lost it because all these ideas of speciality comes from
your past.
........
This stupid idea of being special has to be completely negated
in Sahaja Yoga. Not mentally, not mentally. Mentally if you are again saying
“I’m not special, I’m not special, like a mantra, you’ll become much more –
because you will say “I’ve said this mantra 23,000 times – who can say like me.
So this idea, I’m something special, I’m something great, I’m something out of
the blue, something superior to others, just vanishes. Like as I said, you are
a drop in the sea. You have become the ocean but you are no more a drop to have
it a relative value system, there’s no relative value system. There’s no system
by which you can say that I’m higher or he’s lower – all that has created all
the problems of the world. See, from our cast system in India, the social
systems in the west, the racialism in the west, also self-consciousness of – my
religion is better, yours is worst, we are the best. All these things have
created problems. It has done no good, it has failed and failed and failed. So,
in Sahaja Yoga, at least don’t bring this disease anymore – that I’m better,
our country’s better. This speciality you should drop and the real beauty of
your personality reached. For that, you don’t need a special skin, you don’t
need a special body, you don’t need a special – what you can call – a glamorous
look. What you need is a beautiful heart ! And, I tell you, it is the beautiful
heart that attracts – nothing else. It’s the beautiful heart that you want to
have.
