*** 關於能量測試(一)
***
說明：Shri Mataji 在演說中，很少談到如何感測能量及測試能量應注意那些點等等，但在此談話中則夾雜這個話題，一則談到一些測不準的人，另一則談到有些人測得準，但又沒有足夠的明辨力來運用它。
譯文：
我們來到霎哈嘉是想知道什麼是絕對的真理(absolute truth，註一)，現在經由你去感測能量(vibration)，你可以知道絕對的真理，即透過你的能量感測，你知道什麼是絕對的真理。然後你應該根據絕對真理來行事，你應該遵循你感測到的能量。
但是很不幸的，我看到很多練習者自認為他們的感測能力是很不錯的，他們感測到的是絕對正確的，(但是其實是完全不及格的)。如何來矯正他們自以為是的想法呢？這是非常困難的，因為他們這些想法都來自他們的''自我''(ego)，當人有自我時，他是無法發現自己有什麼錯誤，而且當掌上的能量告訴你某個答案時，其實那可能是''其他人'' (譯者：指並非"上天的力量"，註二)在告訴你，因為你並未到達那個程度，而是你的''自我''在告訴你(答案)！在這件事情的判斷與抉擇上，你的自我正在糟蹋你、指導你，原本這件事該如何做，你平常應可以清楚知道的，(但是反而讓你的自我誤導了！)......(註三)......。
我看到一些練習者常將能量測試用在小事，如看看這棵樹的能量是否不錯，或用在這些花、這塊土地等等，在這些物質的對象上去測試能量。你去測試這些東西的能量的目的是什麼呢？往往只是為了一些非靈性上的好處(material gain)，他們認為若這些東西的能量好，他們就很安全，他們就不會有什麼損失或傷害。這是不正確的想法！因為能量測試不應該用在判斷這些世俗的事及物，這樣子做完全貶低了能量測試，你不應該貶低能量測試。因為若你的出發點在此，你從能量測試得到的答案，可能會非常妨礙你的(靈性的)成長。
(我舉一個例子 )，有一次我要一個練習者去某個地方，後來他告訴我他並未去，我問他為什麼，他說："因為我感測到(那個地方)的能量是非常不好"，我說："這就為什麼我要你去的原因！假如那個地方能量好，那要你去做什麼呢？我要你去的理由就是希望你能去幫助。結果在你去之前，你先用你的能量測試做為判斷而不去！"。這就是許多霎哈嘉練習者的情形，他們只要輕鬆舒適的生活，希望霎哈嘉幫他們解決所有個人及家庭的問題，(這樣子你的靈性可以成長嗎？)
註一：Shri Mataji 在談話中提到用手去感知''絕對的真理''，有時候也用另一個名詞''真正的知識''(true knowledge)，指的是：知道自己輪穴的狀況(這才是自己的真實狀況)；知道別人的輪穴如何(而非表面感覺別人是如何)；知道某事的真假(如耶穌是上帝的兒子嗎？某人是聖人嗎？)。
註二：當我們用雙掌來感知能量時，是無所不在的上天力量(Paramchaitanya)透過掌上的涼風來告訴我們答案，但前提是我們是和上天處在連結的狀態(即瑜伽)。
註三：這裏還有一小段文字，和能量感測較不相關，譯者將之放在此：''在平常的情形，你會知道：''我做錯事了，我不應該如此做''，藉著這種犯錯、改正的方式來逐步改善。當你(可能)陷在自我的狀況時，你應該去檢視一下自己是變得更''精微敏銳''還是更''遲鈍無知''(subtler or grosser)？這是一個判斷的好方法 (譯者：即若是後者，表示你可能被自我所操控。)''。
譯者：Shri Mataji在這一小段語義轉折多，Amruta英文稿中編者加註的標點符號未必正確。
註四：可以感測能量可說是霎哈嘉的一大特色，有不少練習者在此能力下產生出如下的"想法"：很多事情(或甚至"凡事")的決定都要依據測能量。這種想法正確嗎？Shri Mataji有如此說過嗎？
但是這種想法似乎忘記考慮如下幾點：
1. 什麼事情都可以測嗎？即上天的力量一定回答我們的每一個問題嗎？我們問對了問題嗎？Shri Mataji曾說過："不要對一些小事來測能量，如買個莎麗也要問能量好不好，上天是不會回答你這種問題"。
2. 感測者是否有能力測到正確的答案？難道有幾根手指會麻脹，就表示練習者的感測能力已完全可信了嗎？
3. 如何來詮釋得到的答案？我們是否用自己的''自我''或''制約''來解釋答案呢？
這篇譯文回答了其中的幾個問題。

After all we have to know why we have come to Sahaja Yoga. To
begin at the root of it, we have come to Sahaja Yoga because we wanted to know
the absolute truth. And this absolute truth has been now known to you through
your vibrations. You know it through your vibrations, what is the absolute
truth. And you should work everything on that line, that absolute truth,
whatever you feel on your vibrations you have to follow. But unfortunately I
have seen many people who think that their vibrations are alright – they are
alright, and whatever they are receiving on their vibrations is first class.
Now how to correct that point is very difficult – it comes from ego. When you
have ego you can never find anything wrong with you. And even if the vibrations
are telling you something it might be somebody else who’s telling you
something, because you are not there, your ego is there, and your ego is just
spoiling you and teaching you things which normally you would see clearly that
– “I`m doing something wrong, I should not have done it”. In this process of
correction and improvement, when you indulge you should see, are you getting
subtler or grosser? That is the best way to judge.
Now I have seen people who go on judging all these small things
on vibrations, like whether these vibrations are alright or not in this tree,
or on these flowers or on this land, all these material things they want to see
the vibrations. But for what are you seeing the vibrations? You are seeing
vibrations because of some sort of a material gain. You think that if you check
the vibrations and the vibrations are alright, then you are quite safe. You’ll
not lose this, you’ll not lose that. It’s not true. Because vibrations are not
meant to judge all these worldly things and worldly matters. It’s absolutely
cheapening the vibrations. You should not cheapen them, because vibrations can
suggest things which may be detrimental to your growth, very much.
Once I wanted somebody to go somewhere and so he said, “I didn`t
go Mother” I said “Why? “because I saw the vibrations were very bad”. I said
“that’s why I asked you to go! If the vibrations were good, what was your use
going there? I said “The reason I asked you to go there was so that you could
help, but before that you judged yourself, judged your vibrations and then you
didn’t want to go.” So what happens, we want to have an easy cosy life and all
our problems must be solved by Sahaja Yoga otherwise we think Sahaja Yoga is of
no use. Whatever is our desire must be fulfilled. So now the desires are mostly
personal, my child is not well, so the child should be alright. My husband is
misbehaving, so the husband should be alright, or I have no house, I must get a
house. See how we are moving our mind. It’s still on a very consumer society,
as they call it. We are all the time thinking now, I should have a son now
instead of a girl, and then you get a son and you’ll blame Sahaja Yoga for
that. Anything that according to your desire doesn’t work out, then you think
that it is Sahaja Yoga that has done the harm and you are suffering because of
Sahaja Yoga – or this faith in Sahaja Yoga gets a little moving, or we can say
in a way, it’s not that deep. But if you are deeply embedded in Sahaja Yoga
then what happens? What may come, I will be a Sahaja Yogi!
