------導師原理與創造力------
今天我們是來祟拜導師(Guru)，當我們對我們的導師做祟拜時，我們必須知道我們是試圖喚醒我們内在的導師原理(Guru Principle)。在每一個人的裏面都存在導師原理，這導師原理是很優美地環繞著臍輪(Nabhi chakra)，這個原理的邊界正是由腹輪(Swadisthana)環繞臍輪的運動所界定出來。
腹輪這個輪穴給你最重要的特質即是創造力(creativity，註一)，所以創造力是一個導師自然擁有的特色。假如你不是一個有創造力的人，那你不能成為一個導師。舉例來說，一個導師如何來跟他的門徙交談呢？你必須有能力創造出具有神聖力量的話語，來使你的門徒或群眾們信服，使他們相信你具有比他們更多的神聖力量。
假如你是一個普通、平凡的人，或你無法創作出一組雅俗共賞的對聯或一句優美的辭句，或你無法講一個幽默的笑話，或畫一幅美麗的畫，或設計一幅令人目不轉睛的壁氈或一間賞心悅目的房子，這皆表示你缺乏創作力，缺乏導師原理。導師正是能將平凡的人創造成(轉化為)非凡的人，他必須有能力將一個逐漸下掉的人格轉化成一個嶄新的人格。
得到自覺之後，你有能力去提升昆達里尼( Kundalini )，你有能力去治療病人，你有能力去解說三脈七輪的知識，但是假如你無法在你的學生身上創造出一個新的人格，那麼你仍然不是一個導師。許多人得到自覺之後，他們會來參加普祭(puja)，他們也聽霎哈嘉的音樂，或許他們也學霎哈嘉的舞蹈，他們也來參加集體的活動，但是他們的導師原理仍然未被喚醒，除非他們開始創造更多的霎哈嘉練習者。
所以一個導師的遠景應該是：我創造出多少的霎哈嘉練習者？我如何發揮靈活的創作力來創造更多的霎哈嘉練習者？
註一：creativity 中文可翻成創作力或創造力，指一種靈活的開創能力。
註二：Shri Mataji 談的導師原理包含甚多、甚深，很難在一篇譯文囊括導師原理的各個層面，所以譯者採取切割的方法，逐一來談導師原理的各個相關的要點。

Today we have
had to spend a little more time than normal to get to the stage where we could
really worship the Guru. When we worship our Guru, we have to know actually we
are trying to awaken the Guru Principle within ourselves. It’s not only that
you are here to worship your Guru; you may worship many-a-times, maybe the
vibrations would flow, maybe that you might get filled with that and you feel
elevated, nourished. But this nourishment has to be retained within ourselves,
so always remember then, whenever you are worshipping any principle outside,
you are trying to worship your own principle within yourself.
Within us as
you know, in all of us there lies the principle of Guru. It’s very interesting
to notice the Guru Principle being drawn beautifully round the Nabhi chakra. We
never see any chakras connected with the Guru Principle. You see Nabhi, and
around is the Bhavasagara. So this Bhavasagara which is the Ocean of Illusion
cannot be the Guru. So there are hidden chakras within this Bhavasagara within
us, which are to be awakened and to be brought to light, to be manifested. As
you can see that the limits of this principle are done by the movement of the
Swadisthana chakra.
Swadisthan is
the chakra which gives you, first and foremost thing, is the creativity. A
person who is a guru has to be creative by nature. If you are not a creative
person you cannot become a guru. For example, you are faced with disciples with
whom you have to converse: you have to create a word of divine magic to impress
on the disciples or the people who are attracted towards you as gurus, to show
that you have much more divine magic than them.
If you are a
very mundane type of a person, very ordinary, cannot create a beautiful couplet
or a beautiful sentence, or a humor or a joke, or a beautiful painting or a
beautiful tapestry or a beautiful house; if you lack in creativity you will lack
in your Guru Principle, because a guru has to create out of ordinary people
something extraordinary. He should be able to create a new personality out of
an old personality which is decayed. So the first principle you have to
understand within yourself, that you should be able to create a new personality
in a person.
So how do we do
it? Of course you have got powers to raise the kundalini, you have got powers
to cure people, you have got powers to talk big or talk small. Despite all
that, if you cannot create a new personality out of the persons with whom you
are dealing, then you are not a guru. And the new personality has to be a
special personality of very unique combination of compassion and dynamism. So
it is important that in your creativity you have to use the energy of
compassion. You can only mold people through compassion and never through
anger, never through suppression, never through showing off your powers of
gurudom. Unless and until you handle the situation and the personality very carefully,
showing all the respect, showing all the concern and all the love for the
person whom you are giving realization; just showing off that you are a great
guru, it will only create a kind of a fear about you, and after some time
people would not like to see your faces.
So the most
important thing about Guru Principle is that you have to create. Many people
get realization, all right, they get realization and then they stay in some
ashrams maybe. They come to pujas, they listen to music, they may dance, they
laugh, they’re collective; but still their Guru Principle is not awakened
unless and until they have created many, many more Sahaja yogis – Sahaja yogis.
So the vision of a guru should be, “How many Sahaja yogis I am going to create?
How am I going to use this creativity to create more Sahaja yogis?” (1989-07-23)
