瘋子和婆羅門的顫抖

*** 瘋子和婆羅門的顫抖 ***

前言：這是一個霎哈嘉早年發生的故事，Shri Mataji 後來多次提到，但是每次都只約略提到一點點，但在1997兩次的談話中講得較詳細，所以翻譯出來讓大家了解故事的全貌。

譯文：

我曾經在Pune 有一個公開演講，他們安排了一個演講廳，但這個廳的所有人是一些婆羅門。他們說："我們無法讓她在此處演講，因為她不是一個婆羅門。"，一些比較鬼靈精的練習者就對他們說："好！我們會將上述的話告訴報紙，說因為她不是一個婆羅門，所以........。"，"不！不！不要這樣做！我們就讓你們在這裡舉行演講！"。當我到演講廳時，這群婆羅門就坐在講台正對面的座位，他們是來抗議或是監督或是什麼我也不知道，我當時甚至也不知道之前發生過不讓我演講的插曲。但只見這群人雙手開始顫抖，即雙手在胸前大幅顫抖(註一)，我對自己說："發生了什麼事？"，

他們說："母親請停止！我們知道你是力量(Shakti)，但請停止這顫抖，我們受不了！"

我說："我沒有做什麼啊！那你們做了什麼呢？"

"我們並沒有做什麼，我們只是之前說過這是一個婆羅門的場所，所以我們想妳不適合在此演講。"

"真的？就只是這樣？"

"對！就只是這樣。妳看，那邊另外一群人也因為妳的力量而顫抖！"

我就問那邊那一群人："你們也是婆羅門嗎？"

"不！不！我們是來自Thana精神病院的瘋子。"

"那你們為何在這裏呢？"

"因為妳曾經治好我們院裏的一個病患，所以我們的長官就帶我們到這裡來。"

我就對樓上的那群婆羅門說："你們看，你們顫抖，那群人也顫抖，現在你們和他們相當一致，你們是有什麼狀況呢？"

"難道我們也瘋了嗎？"

"你們是有一些不對勁的地方！"

因為他們認為婆羅門是最高等的族群(註二)，這些都是荒謬的觀念。婆羅門(Brahmin)原來是指知道Brahma(大梵)的人，是指知道無所不在的上天大能的人。當然這群婆羅門後來都明瞭了，因為他們都變成霎哈嘉練習者了。

註一：Shri Mataji 在談話中有模仿他們雙手的抖動 ，即手指來回抖動的幅度有5公分之多，詳見談話影帶5：45 處( https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=fV1wvL3YqPY )。

註二：婆羅門是印度教的祭司貴族，是印度種姓制度下最高等的人。

Once I had an experience in, long long time back, in Pune, where the people who were owning that “wara” said that: “We cannot have Shri Mataji’s program because She’s not a Brahmin”. So the Sahaja Yogis said: “Alright, we’ll give it in the newspaper that ‘because she’s not a Brahmin we cannot have her program’”. So, these people came to My program and the owner of that was sitting on the gallery, on top. He could not even walk he was suffering from some sort of a funny disease. So these people suddenly started – I didn’t know, they didn’t tell Me anything. They didn’t tell Me that these people have protested or whatever it is. So they all started shaking like this, doing like this, like this, like this. “Oh, Baba” I said [to Myself] “What is this?” So, I said: “What is it?” They said: “Mother stop it, we know You are Shakti but stop it, it’s too much, too much.” “But what did you do?”They said: “We didn’t do anything, we just said ‘this is a Brahmin staying and a Brahmin wara, and this area is mostly resided by Brahmins’, so we thought that You cannot have Your program”. I said: “Really, that’s all?” “Yes, yes, that’s all. But there’s, see, see on the other side, you see those people, they are also shaking with Your power.” So I asked them: “Who are you? You’re also Brahmins?”. They said: “No, no. We are certified mad people from Thana.” “And how are you here?” They said: “There was one fellow who was mad, who was cured by You.” “Really?” “So our superintendent is here, he has brought us here. We are certified mad, certified!” My goodness! These people looked at Me. I said: “See now, you tally: you are shaking and they are shaking, now you tally. Where are you?” They know now. [unsure] [Shri Mataji laughs].
And they all became Sahaja Yogis not only that but the gentleman who was sitting upstairs. I told him: “You get up and come down.” He came and since that day, he surrenders his life and did a lot of work in Pune.(1997-03-21)

Also it gives you a good idea about how you can show people, who is mad and who is not mad? Like I had a program in Pune in the beginning and they arranged it in a hall which was owned by some Brahmins. So when I went there, they said, “No, no, She is not a Brahmin so we can’t give Her the hall.”

So Sahaja Yogis were mischievous, they said, “All right, we will give it in the newspaper that they are refusing because She is not a Brahmin.”

“No, no, don’t do like that we will have it.”

So I didn’t know what was happening behind the back. When I went there, I was sitting there. Very interesting I saw about twenty-five people sitting in front of Me shaking like this you see.

“Mother, stop it, stop it, we know Your power, stop it.”

I said, “I am not doing any thing you are….”

They said, “Now, also there are people who are shaking like this.”

So I said, “Ask them, who they are?”

They said, “We are certified mad from Thane. We have come here with our superintendent because You had cured one mad man.”

So they said, “Are we also mad?”

“Yes, there is something wrong.”

So the thing was they were thinking the Brahmins are the highest or something like that. Is all nonsensical ideas because Brahmin is that which knows the Brahma which knows All Pervading Power and because of these funny ideas they have tortured all the saints. Specially in Maharashtra people have tortured all the saints all the time.(1997-04-06)
