------拉希什米(Lakshmi)
與保護------
拉希什米的另一隻手就像如此(註一)，這表示祂給你保護。對霎哈嘉練習者而言，你們首先要照顧你們的小孩(即給他們保護)，照顧他們的需要，養育他們，給他們指引，但不要寵壞他們。一旦他們長大結婚有他們自己的小孩之後，就不要試圖去佔有(掌控)他們及他們的妻子小孩。
拉希什米的保護是一種像媽媽的保護。不論你的工作是在辦公室或医院或工廠，所有你的下屬都像是你的小孩，你必須照顧他們，讓他們有家庭的感覺，讓他們有被照顧的感受。像以前我先生的辦公室員工一早從加爾各答搭飛機來，甚至是早上五點鐘，我都親自為他們煮早餐。他們只是一般的辦事員而已！因為經由這像的保護、照顧與愛，你可以讓他們變得非常有活力，也使他們的拉希什米力量增強。否則職場上就容易有罷工和各種爭鬥。

The
another hand is like this. That means She gives you protection. If you don’t
feel protected with money, throw it away. Just run away from it. Headache. But
also She gives protection to others. A person who has Lakshmi, he has family,
he has children, he has everyone. The worst thing I’ve seen [is] that in the
West the parents don’t give any money to their children when they grow up. Then
don’t look after them but they are so possessive! On the contrary, in India we
give all our lives to our children and we are least possessive. And they are
even possessive of the grandchildren. That’s why the families are like this
here.
So the whole system has gone in a funny way, chaotic. So it is important for Sahaja yogis to understand that they will first of all look after their children, give them whatever they need, nourish them, give them guidance, don’t spoil them. And, secondly, once they are married and have children they will not try to possess them and possess their children, their wives.
And this protection that is given is the protection of a mother. Say you are working in an office, you’re working in a hospital, you’re working in a factory, anywhere you are working, all other people who are working under you are your children, are to be treated like that and they are to feel like that. They have to feel it’s a family. Try this!
My husband, I told him that, “You treat your office as your family.” So early in the morning they used to arrive from Calcutta, about say five o’clock, by plane. And I would Myself cook their breakfast and give it to them. They were just ordinary clerks. Because this is how through the protection, through the care, through the love you can make them so dynamic and that is how the Lakshmi tattwa will increase. Otherwise there will be strikes, there will be fights. This is the enlightenment! (1990-10-21)
