Shri Mataji：如果你全天保持一種靜觀(Witness) 的心態，那你就是處在靜坐的狀態了！無論你看到什麼，就只是觀看，這是最好的。若你只是靜觀，你會驚訝地發現你好像處在另一個世界，你好像從另一個世界來看眼前的這些人和事。此時你的内心或許會油然生出慈悲心，或是可憐、同情之心，或者你有一種不喜歡他們的感覺。無論是什麼感覺，你是從他們那個世界分離出來。
假如你不慎介入這個外在世界，一旦自己查覺到，只要告訴自己：這不對，這不對。然後再抽身而出，恢復靜觀的狀態即可。這就像一種練習，愈練習就愈熟練，然後你處在靜坐的狀態就越來越長久。
當你靜觀外界外物，若你發覺那事(或那人)是不對的，你也只需要保持安靜，你不需要去告訴他這是錯的。最好還是讓他們自己從錯誤中去學習。很少人喜愛被糾正，更何況他們未必會接受你的建議，說不定還會生出忿恨之心。
[Yogi: Shri Mataji, how can we sustain a deep meditation
throughout the day?]
You
see, you are in meditation in a way. You are halfway in meditation and halfway
not. Now if you try to develop a state of witness, then you are in meditation –
just a state of witness. Whatever you see, just watch it. Just watching is the
best way, and then you’ll be surprised that you will find that you are in
another world, and these people are only in another world. You are seeing them
from another world. Then you will have compassion for them, you will have pity
for them, you may also not like them – it’s all these feelings will come up to
you, but you’ll be a person who is separated from them. …..
when
you see such a situation where you get involved, then you say, “This is not,
this is not,” and come out of it. It’s a practice, a little practice can tell
you. Like driving, by practice you master it in the same way.
When
I know something is wrong, I know it is wrong and I know that they are doing
wrong, but I just keep quiet and then they know what it was wrong and what was
right. It is better to make others learn by mistakes than to tell them. No one
likes to be told. Then they learn themselves by mistakes, “Yes, I’ve done this
mistake, that mistakes. I’ve ruined my life. Now come along.” But if you tell
them, they can be very reluctant or could be vindictive also.
