内涵才是重點-----以謙卑為例

你必須知道如果你只是一個得到自覺的靈，那並不是重點；你可以在双掌感覺到能量(vibration)，那也不是重點；你可以给人自覺，那也不是重點。那麼什麼才是霎哈嘉練習者(Sahaja yogis) 的重點？什麼才是你最需要關注的？那就是你的内在、内涵( content )。前述的種種(自覺的靈、感知能量、給人自覺)只不過是你的内涵的外顯而已。
所以我們必須往內看我們有什麼内涵。當我們討論内涵時，我們可以先來看大自然中什麼最有内涵呢？大海是自然界中最具有包容力、最有内涵的，它充滿了水，這水是來自世界各地。它又容許自己接受陽光的曝曬而產生蒸氣，進而形成雨水。大海是處在最低的位置，也因為如此它才可以接收地表各處流來的水。同樣地，做為一個霎哈嘉練習者，我們外在應處在一個較低的位置，如此才能獲致較大的内涵(内容)。聖經裏說：你必須逆來順受 ( You have to be meek. 註一)，我想這句話並沒有很清楚被人們理解。其實只有強大的人才有能耐表現出柔順，只有内心有十足安全感的人才能顯得温順，只有本質豐富的人才可以逆來順受；絕對不是那些缺乏安全感的人可以做得到的。如果他都缺乏安全感，如何能外顯出真正的温順呢？正如那些世俗所謂的富翁，他們並不是真正的有錢人，他們既不慷慨，也不是樂善好施的慈善家，他們只是内心不滿足而想要更多錢的人，說穿了，他們只是一個貪婪的乞丐而已！一個内心不滿足的人如何能是一個有錢人呢？
有許多練習者說：我們愛母親，母親也愛我們。這愛固然是很好，但是你們必須更進一步知道那些特質是霎哈嘉練習者所應該擁有的。事實上許多練習者在得到自覺後仍然很容易迷失，他們以為得到自覺之後他們可以克服任何險阻，他們一切都會很順利；但是往往一下子就翻車，摔了一個大筋斗。所以聖經說：你必須逆來順受。這逆來順受就是一種練習者需要的内涵。這逆來順受指的就是如同大海的謙卑，就是一種内涵。試著學習謙卑，對每一個人謙卑，如此你會漸漸地喜歡你自己，開始享受自己的内涵。
當一個練習者有種種内涵(註二)時，集體的無意識(collective unconscious)，即無所不在的神聖力量，就會來行動、來幫你。所以這些内涵才是霎哈嘉練習者最大的資產。

註一：meek 指逆來順受、柔順的意思。Shri Mataji 認為聖經講的meek 即是謙卑的意思。

註二：Shri Mataji 在此篇談話亦談及其它重要的内涵，但是關於謙卑則是解釋得最清楚，所以譯者即專注在提到謙卑的段落。本篇譯文的重心是在"内涵才是重點"，謙卑只是用來讓大家了解何謂"内涵"，相信大家都可舉一反三，知道Shri Mataji 提過的許多特質皆是重要的内涵。

But one has to know that only we are realized souls is not the point, only that we can feel the vibrations is not the point, that we can give realizations to other is also not the point. Then what is it? Very important – it’s the content within us. What do we have within us is the point. These are all the expressions of what we have within. Supposing somebody is generous, then know that he’s a rich man, otherwise he cannot be.

So the content within us, we have to see. And when we start seeing the content, where do we find in the nature there is real content? We see the sea; sea is there you see, full of water. So much of water it sucks in from everywhere, and then it allows itself to be boiled by the sun and gives rain. But sea is the lowest level, stands at the lowest level and sucks in all the water from everywhere. In the same way a Sahaja yogi must know that to be really achieving more content, we have to be not at a higher level outside. It’s said in the Bible, “You have to be meek,” but I think it was not explained to people. Only the strong people can be meek, secured people can be meek, only the rich in essence can be meek, not the people who are insecured. Because they are insecured, how can they be meek? And not the people whom we think are rich, so-called, because if they are rich they are not generous, they are not satisfied, they are not philanthropic, so they are not rich. They are still greedy beggars.

So the content within us is to be seen. What is our content? You love Me, I love you – it’s very good. But when you love Me, you have to know that there are certain qualities which are very lovable in a Sahaja yogi. Actually people get lost even after Sahaja Yoga. They think they can get over everything, they’re perfectly all right, and they are thrown overboard. So when we say that we have to be meek, this is a content, the humility is a content. So try to that, try to be humble with someone. You’ll like yourself. You’ll enjoy that quality within this that, “You see, I’m humbler than another person.”

...................

So when the Sahaja yogis have that content within themselves, the collective unconscious, the Divine will act, definitely act. Like a person who is spreading advertisements, this that, yes people come. Because he takes money they think they can purchase this man. But where there is no money involved, no business involved, nothing, you people are just simple people just like them, so? But it’s all done by the Divine, isn’t it? So the Divine works it out. But if the Sahaja yogis in a place are good for nothing, then even if I am there it does not work. Half-hearted people if they are it does not work. In no way to discourage you but to tell you that you have to develop your content within yourself, a complete faith in yourself. This is the greatest property of a Sahaja yogi.(1989-10-08)
