*** 信心 ***
我觀察到有些練習者，當他們有意願去完成某事，那事情就會成就，當他們要求什麼，什麼就為他們準備好。關鍵點是什麼呢？我們應該擁有什麼(才能如此)呢？
在得到自覺、得到各種的祝福之後，我們要擁有、發展的是信心(faith)，是一種對自己的信心，對自己是一個靈、對自己是光、對必須去喚醒他人等要有信心。當這信心更進一步深入成長，然後你會自我思索："我是什麼？"，你就會知道你是一個靈。假如你是一個靈，那麼整個大自然都站在你這一邊。我舉一個例子，有一位職業是漁夫的練習者，他對我有無比的信心，有一天他要搭船去對岸鄰村推廣霎哈嘉，出門時但見滿天的烏雲，好像即將要下大雨。他對著天空說："我現在是要去為母親工作，你最好是不要下雨，最好是繼續撐著，直到我工作結束後再下"。當他到對岸上課、給自覺，再搭船回到家裡，然後他說："好吧！現在可以下雨了"，此時傾盆大雨才從天而降(註一)。所以當你有完全的信心，這無所不在的力量
(Paramchaitanya，即上天的力量) 就如同你的僕人，無時不刻隨侍在旁，等著服務你，無論你說什麼都會實現。但是首先你必需對自己有完全的信心，對你是霎哈嘉瑜伽士有完全的信心。
但是我發現一些練習者，内在仍有一些慾望及種種可怕的東西，(若是這樣子，你的信心是無法成就事情的。)所以你必須先好好建立正法(Dharma)，即所謂的正直、公義，如果你是站在正直公義這一邊，那麼沒有理由說上天的力量會不服從你的。
但假如你今天希望事情如何如何，可是並未如此成就，若因此而失望，那並不是好事。失望本身就是一種不成熟的表現，有什麼值得去失望呢？或許這樣子的結果對你是比較好的。這就要提到另外一個觀念，即耐心(patience)，你必須有耐心，假如你沒有耐心，只希望立即看到事情完成，那麼你如何能看到整件事情成就呢？現在世界的腳步非常快，人也動作迅速、極度緊張不安，但是你不應該像如狂奔的老鼠一般的大眾，而是應該站在一旁觀看才對，即你必須有耐心。所以你必須對自己有完全的信心，之外也必須有耐心來看霎哈嘉是如何運作成就，及這無所不在的力量是如何在成就整個事情。假如事情是朝某方向進行，那是ok的，朝另一方向進行也是ok的。朝這方向代表一些含義，朝那方向也代表另外一種含義。
另外有關信心的一個重點是，你必須對你的導師有信心。假如你對你的導師有信心，那麼上天的力量也會對你好，如此將會十分有助益。假如你對你的導師有疑慮，那麼上天的力量也會懷疑你，因為上天的力量是經由你的導師去知道你，不論你的導師是我或其他的真導師，這情形都一樣。或許我太容易原諒人，所以有些練習者不太守規矩，我只是原諒而不去說什麼，就放任他們如此，這也無所謂。因為我想不去管他們，有一天他們會了解、會回到正軌。當然有時候事情是朝相反方向發展，即那些被原諒的人將之視為理所當然，但是你也不必失望，你必須對自己有信心，就帶著耐心繼續觀看。我們不是已給這麼多人自覺？這個世界已有這麼多聖人，你沒有看到嗎？

I have seen people who desire something, it works out. They ask
for something, it works out. For that, now, what should we have, is the point.
After getting realization, after getting everything, what should
we have that we develop is the faith. Faith in yourself. Faith in that you are
the Spirit, that you have the light and you have to enlighten others. This faith
when it grows deeper and deeper then you think, oh, what I am. I am the Spirit.
If you are the Spirit then this whole nature is with you. I know of some Sahaja
Yogis. One of them was a fisherman. He was doing Sahaja Yoga work. He has
tremendous faith in Me and somehow he was going to another village to do Sahaja
Yoga work. When he came out of his little hut he found it’s all full of clouds,
black clouds. So he raised his hand and said, “See now, I’m going for Mother’s
work. And you dare not start raining. You keep as you are, hanging there till I
finish my work,” you see. Because he was going by boat. And other Sahaja Yogis
thought, “What is he talking about?” They all got into the boat, they reached
the other village. They gave realization to others, he finished his lecturing,
everything, he came back on the shore and he entered his house. When he was
closing the door, “All right, so go ahead,” he said. And he managed.
So the complete faith that this Paramchaitanya is like your
servant, is all the time waiting there to serve you. Whatever you say will
happen. But first you must have complete faith in yourself that you are a
Sahaja Yogi.
Even now I find, you see, people have some lust, some sort of a
horrible things in them. So first you must be established in Dharma. Dharma,
is, as you know, is righteousness. If you are in the righteousness, there’s no
question. There’s no question that this Paramchaitanya won’t obey you. But
supposing you want today something and it doesn’t work out, then even to get disappointed
itself is not a very good thing. Disappointment also is a sign of your
immaturity. What is there to be disappointed? Maybe that that was good for
you. .........
Then another word in Sanskrit is titiksha, means patience,
suboori – patience. You must have patience. If you don’t have patience, you
want immediately something to be done. How will you see the whole thing working
out? Many people are extremely jittery and very fast-running. This world is
running so fast and you are the ones who have stood out and watching this rat
race. You are not one of them. So must have titiksha, means you must have
patience. So you must have faith in yourself fully and also patience, how
Sahaja Yoga is working out or how this Paramchaitanya is working out.
If it works this way, all right, that way, all right. It is some
meaning. If it works this way, there’s some meaning. If it is that way it has
some meaning.
Now another thing which is important is the faith in your guru.
If you have faith in your guru, Paramchaitanya is kind to you. It’s very
helpful. But if you doubt, then Paramchaitanya also doubts you because
Paramchaitanya knows you through your guru, whether it is Me or any other real
guru, it’s the same. But with Me, of course, because, you know, I’m very forgiving
so people start taking liberties.
.........
But I forgive. I don’t say anything. Let it be, it doesn’t
matter. Because I think by leaving them alone only, they will rise and they
will come up to this stage. But it happens sometimes that it may work the other
way round, that if they are forgiven, then they take it for granted. So the
faith in yourself is with patience you watch and do not get disappointed with
anything whatsoever. Now, just imagine so many people have got realization, so
many saints in this world, have you seen?
