*** 儍瓜還是瘋子 ***
前言：這是1995年 Shri
Mataji 在紐約對美國練習者的談話。美國一直有領導人紛爭的戲碼，Shri Mataji 甚至說美國在這方面是全球所屈一指的。本譯文特別摘譯談話中關於這部分的片段，此談話有一些十分精彩、發人深省的說詞。
譯文：
美國集體遭遇了許多困難，其實都是一些無關重要的小事，說穿了，就是愚笨！其中的一項就是領導人之爭，這是你可以想到的最愚笨的紛爭。當我說你是一個領導人(leader)，這不過是在愚弄你而已！"領導人"只不過是一個虚構的概念而已，但是人們卻不相信。假如我任命你當領導人，你應當知道我只是在試驗你，同時也試驗那些試圖玩權力遊戲、想當領導人的練習者，除此之外完全没有什麼！其實没有任何人可以說是霎哈嘉的領導者，只不過我需要有一些人可以當連絡、傳達訊息的管道，所以我認命了各地的負責人。這並不表示這些負責人、領導人可以上天堂、可以有皇室的禮遇，絕對不是這樣，所有人的待遇都會是一樣的。這些都只是幻相(Maya)而已，但是一些練習者却拚命想當負責人，這讓我感到十分可笑。他們試圖去爬一座山，可是這座山根本就不存在！你到底是要攀爬什麼呢？你到底是要追求什麼呢？你追求的根本就不存在！那有什麼山？你前面有的是平坦大道而已！這也是一種徹徹底底愚笨的表癥！
當你的注意力放在食物、金錢，或是在領導人的權力，這些只會讓你變得愚笨而已！那些在誇耀："我是什麼的負責人！"，這只是在告訴你他是一個愚痴的笨蛋而已！既然你知道負責人只是母親愚弄我們的把戲而已，而你又去誇耀自己是負責人，無異在昭告天下：我是全世界最大的儍瓜！爲什麼你需要去誇耀、去吹嘘呢？這種誇耀的行為若非儍瓜的表癥，就是一個精神失常的瘋子而已！
面對這樣子的人、這樣子的宣稱，你應該了解的是：他是一個有認証的瘋子，或有認証的儍瓜。當這種愚笨進入你的腦袋裡，你再也不是一個霎哈嘉瑜伽士，你的靈性將離你而去，你就等待衰敗及死亡了。縱使你没有這樣出來宣稱，而只是這樣想，那也不是很好，表示你没有走在正確的道路上。
後記：其實這也是全球集體普遍的問題，請也參考 : ''蓋起你的耳朶，也遠離講你的導師壞話的那個人''（http://sahajataiwan.blogspot.co.nz/2017/01/hugo-maha-mataji-ashram-thomas-yogi.html ）及 "歷史上誤闖霎哈嘉的三隻狐狸" ( http://sahajataiwan.blogspot.co.nz/2017/03/blog-post.html )

Mataji 在Devi Shakti
Puja的談話1995-10-08。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。
Now the
pettiness with which we suffer can come in many categories but is nothing but
stupidity. One of them is that, this idea of leadership; which is the greatest
stupidity you could ever think of. I am just befooling you by saying “You are a
leader. You are a leader”. Nothing it’s just a myth, you don’t believe Me in
that. If I call you the leader, you must know that Mother is trying to test me
and others also those who are trying this power game of becoming leaders,
nothing at the back. There is no one who you can really say is the leader of
Sahaja Yoga except that I had to have some people to communicate so we got them
leaders. It doesn’t mean that if they become leaders, they go to heaven; they
will get a right royal reception, nothing like that. All will be going in the
same manner. See this is all created by Maya. Now people are striving to become
leader, and I really feel like laughing. Those who will try are climbing a
mountain, which doesn’t exist. Where are you climbing? Where are you going? It doesn’t
exist. There’s no mountain, it’s all straightforward road. So this is also a
sign of complete stupidity. ........
So now, the
attention if it is on food, attention if it is on money, attention if it is on
so called power of leadership and all that know that it will make you stupid.
Anybody who boasts, “I am the leader of this”. All right, all right, very good!
You’ve known one like him you see? That what you have to react because if you
say that I am the leader of this and this, itself shows that you are a stupid
fool, isn’t it? Because if you know it’s stupidity, all this Mother is making a
fool out of us, why should you say, “I am the greatest fool?” Why should you
yourself boast of yourself? Even any boasting is a sign of a stupid fool you
know? Or a mad lunatic person.
Once our Prime Minister went to one lunatic asylum and he met
one who was sane to talk to. So he asked him, “Who are you?”
He said, “I am Jawaharlal Nehru”
He said, “Who is Jawaharlal Nehru?”
He said, “I am the one who was the, who is the Prime Minister of
India”
“Aahh! You’ll be all right. I used to say the same. You stay
here for five-six months you’ll be all right”.
So all such bombastic talking those people who do, you should
just know I am telling you certified lunatics or certified fools. And once this
goes, this stupidity into your head you will be no more a Sahaja Yogi, no more.
Whole spirituality will come out and you’ll be left high and dry. Anyone who
boasts like that is worse but even if you think like that is no good, not on
the proper lines.
