---有關相片的一些談話(之五)----蓮足的相片---
我的腳的相片對自我(ego)及非我(superego) 非常好。對那些受制於自我及非我的人，腳的相片可以幫助許多。因為此種人都非常粗俗(gross，註一)，腳的相片可以解決此問題。如果他們看到我臉部的相片，他們的自我就跑出來批評：這臉是如此如此等等；他們的非我也可能帶給他們一些障礙；甚至内在的超意識(supraconscious)也會浮現而帶來問題。但是腳的相片則不會，反而可以糾正這些問題，甚至這個人是超意識亦然。腳的相片不只十分有力，而且可以直搗這些人最粗俗的核心。不論是酒徒或是其他種種不好的人，如罪犯等，你只要用腳的相片，就可以矯正他。臉的相片對他們則是没有用。臉的相片是給求道者(seekers)用的，但對這些完全無可救藥、積習難改的人，腳的相片是最佳的。對那些自我超級大或非我超級大的人，腳的相片是非常重要。
你(指練習者)有時也可以注視腳的相片，這是非常好的練習。注視腳的相片可以去除你的粗俗面。就只用你的眼睛去看即可，你如何能經由頂輪來看我的腳呢？但是用頂輪你也可以看到我的腳。
Shri Mataji：這是一個好的提議，值得試試。(1980-05-17)
新教徒(Protestants)都非常用頭腦(mental)、非常世故(sophisticated)，天主教徒則是左脈的。.........這些背景會帶給你一些阻礙，但你必須清除它。今天我才發現一個很好的方法來去除這些障礙，你可以試試。你用我的腳的相片，(相片前同樣點上蠟燭)，雙手掌朝向相片，然後將注意力放在相片上，就會有很好的清潔效果，非常值得一試。(1985-06-12)

Now what are good My feet for?
Yogi: Agya.
Shri Mataji: Very good for ego. And also superego. Is
very good for people who suffer from ego or superego, My feet. Because, such people
are very gross. And the feet solve the problem. So just use My feet.
If they see My Face, the ego will start
working, “This face is like that, it should be like that – this, that.”
Superego might give problems. Even supraconscious will give you problems. But
feet, even if you are supraconscious, they’ll correct your problems. Feet are
not only powerful but they go up to the grossest point where you are. Any type
of person. Say, a drunkard and all the bad thing you are talking, a criminal.
Some sort of a man. You just use My Feet, he’ll be alright. Face won’t work for
him.
Face is for the seekers. But for all
such people who are absolutely incorrigible type, feet is the best. Those who
have extreme ego, those who have extreme superego – extreme. Feet are very
important. You also sometimes watch My feet. That’s a very good way, exercise.
Just watch My Feet to get rid of your grossness. Just watch with your eyes. How
are you going to watch through your Sahastrara? (laughter) But also with
Sahastrara you can see.
Yogi: Mother, do You think if we used Your feet in the photo
in the newspaper advertising we’d get more people?
Shri Mataji: Will be better idea.
Yogi: We’ll try that.
Shri Mataji: But you see I don’t know.
(laughter) Try. Very good idea. You see on My books and all that we have tried.
On so many things I have tried, put My feet. Indians understand it.
Yogi: Do you think they’d understand in the US?
Yogi: Well, you don’t have to say Your name in the same
thing.
Shri Mataji: Let’s put My feet.
Yogi: Will just let it work through.
We’ll put Sahaja Yoga, we won’t say anything about Whose feet they are.
Shri Mataji: Try. It is very good. They’re tremendous. See all the
lights reacting.
You see? (1980-05-17)
And
just I told her because I know what Protestants are because I was born in that
horrible cult. Very mental, sophisticated. You see, Catholics are left-sided.
They are left-sided people, Catholics are. They are very emotional and these
are mental people and they have made a science out of God.
Where
are they catching? But you must clear it out. It’s very simple. I have found
out one method. Try it; it helps. Today only I have found it out. If you use My
feet, the photograph of My feet and put your attention to it with your hands
towards it, it works out very well. Try that. Worth trying. Today it worked out
very well with people. I think it will work out with you people. If you can
have a nice photograph of the feet, just put there, clean it properly. You may
watch it, put your hands on that like this and watch it and see it. Sit in the
same light and after that you can put some flowers or something or some kumkum
on that, but before that you just watch it and see. Maybe it might help. (1985-06-12)
