心的四條經脈，神的知識，涅盤(上)

---心的四條經脈，神的知識，涅盤(上)---

心(heart)是靈(Spirit)的住所，靈就是住在我們内裏的濕婆神(Shiva)，我們必須多知道一些有關心的種種，這是非常重要的。

我們内在的精微系統有左、右、中三脈，但在心有四條經脈(nadis)。這四條脈通往四個地方，當你超越了你的分際(maryadas)時，你就會走向毀滅。所以在這四個方向，已埋藏了可能的毀滅。這就為什麼有人也把濕婆神稱為毀滅者。其實是人自己走向毀滅的，是人自己尋求毀滅而獲致毀滅的。

心的四條脈之一是走向根輪(Mooladara, 譯者：Shri Mataji 此處是指"性")，假如人超越了性應該有的分際，那麼就會走進地獄。我們如何避免因性而走向毀滅呢？濕婆神的一個特質即是"純真"，祂就如小孩子一般純真。所以我們可以將肉體的慾望溶化在純真之中、在純真的海洋之中。純真是讓我們欣賞、理解與享受的。你看，動物是純真的，小孩子是純真的，花朶也是純真的。我們應該將我們的注意力轉移到這些純真的小孩子及動植物，這就為什麼我說走路時，你的目光應在三呎高之下，在這三呎高之下，你可以看到美麗的花朶、草地及可愛的小孩，你不需去看三呎高之上的人們，目光在三呎高之下，你只會看到大人的腿，而不會看到他們不純真的眼神。

克里希納(Shri Krishna)有一萬六千零五個妻子，但他在性方面卻是完全純真的(請看註一，本譯文不再重述此故事)。所以我們住在這世上，不論你是妻子或丈夫，不論是否結婚，你可以是純真，在根輪保持完全純真，這純真是你純潔的一個表徵。

心的第二條脈是通往欲望(desire)，這欲望也可能把你帶向毀滅，這就是為什麼佛陀(Buddha)說人要無欲。欲望表示 "我要這個東西" ，欲望也不只針對物質的東西，它也包括心智上的佔有，如 "我要擁有這個女人"、"我要擁有這個小孩"。想擁有許多東西是來自你的欲望，當你擁有更多的東西，你並不會因此感到快樂或滿足，因為這些欲望都不是純潔的欲望。這欲望是可能走到極端，就像海珊(Saddem Hussein), 或希特勒(Hitler)，他們就是人的欲望走到超越極限的例子。

對於人的欲望，我們可以做什麼呢？我們可以將對物質的欲望轉移到美麗的物品，即我們來擁有真正有美感的東西。正是濕婆神賜予萬物以美感，濕婆神的工作就是祂美化了梵天婆羅摩(Bramadeva)所創造的、毗濕奴(Vishnu)所演化的萬物。是濕婆神來做這賦予美感的精微工作，使萬物更美麗，更令人賞心悅目，這正是濕婆神的特質。所以當你有欲望，希望擁有某樣東西，你可以去尋找有美感、手工製作的產品。逐漸地你會發覺你最終是找到有能量(vibrations)的物品，因為所有有美感的物品都是有能量的。你必須有純潔的欲望才可能追尋到有能量的物品。若你如此做，那些令你瘋狂的物欲會逐漸變成純潔的欲望，你會開始只希望買有能量的東西，你不再買沒有能量的東西，甚至你不想和一個没有能量的人談話。
假如你繼續追求你那些不純潔的欲望，那你最終是走入毀滅，但說濕婆神是毀滅者只是講對了一半(註二)，祂也給你能力(power)去追求能量(vibration)。

註一：請看克里希納(Shri Krishna)完整的故事："一個有關完全抽離、不沾染 (detachment) 的故事" (  http://sahajataiwan.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/detachment-guru.html    )。

註二：此談話中，Shri Mataji 亦談到：濕婆神代表毀滅者是有另一個含義，花朶被摧毀了，是為了果實的到來。在霎哈嘉中，你的制約、自我、種族偏見、教義狂熱等等都會被摧毀，這是為了那美麗的成果(譯者：即自覺)的到來。

註三：由於文長，所以分成上下。這是一個很重要的談話，Shri Mataji 談到連接心的四條經脈，更重要的是在最後的第四條經脈，談到了頂輪完全開啓的狀態、神的知識、涅盤的境界。江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji 在 Mahashivaratri Puja 的談話 1991-02-16。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正.

.............And heart is the abode of the spirit – is the Shiva within us. So we have to know more about heart, and that is very important.

You know about these three nadis we have: Ida, Pingala, Sushumna; but in the heart there are four nadis. And the one nadi goes to Mooladhara, and if you cross the limits of Mooladhara it goes to hell. That’s why they say that Shiva is a destroyer. Actually you ask for your destruction. And when you ask for your destruction, you have it. Even if it destroys everything, as I was telling, it’s like when a fruit has to come, the petals look as if they’re destroyed – as I have destroyed, I would say, many of your things: you can call it like your conditionings, your ego, your racialism, your fanaticism. All this has been destroyed in Sahaja Yoga. This has to be destroyed for the beauty to come out.

So when your maryadas you cross beyond certain point, you go to your destruction. In four directions there are destructions built, as there are four nadis. So now, what is to be done? How are we to stop this destruction of the, through the first nadi, going to hell?

One of the qualities of Shiva is that He’s innocence. He’s extremely innocent. He’s innocent like a child. He is innocence personified.

So we have to put our carnal desires, dissolve them, dissolve them into the innocence, the ocean of innocence. You have to dissolve it in the ocean of innocence. Innocence is something to be appreciated, to be understood, to be enjoyed. Like you see animals, they’re innocent; you see children, they’re innocent; flowers, they’re innocent. Divert your attention to all these things. You see, on walking on the street, what is there to see best is all at three feet height. You see at three feet height all the flowers, all the beautiful grass, all the children who are about three feet are the best.

You need not see people who are above that. Just see on three feet level. You can see the legs of somebody, that’s all right. But you don’t see the eyes of a person who are not innocent.........................

Like once the wives of Shri Krishna – He had sixteen thousand wives to begin with, and the five more. The sixteen thousand were His powers, and five were the elements. They were wanting to go to pray to some big well-known, I should say, saint had come, a maharshi had come. So they wanted to go and see him and pay respects. So they asked Shri Krishna’s permission, but when they went they found the river was all in spate, so flooded they could not cross over. They came back, they said, “How can we cross over this river? It’s all in spate.”

So this Krishna said, “All right, you just go and say, ‘If Shri Krishna is Yogeshwara, and if He is absolutely innocent about sex, you go down.’”

They said, “How can we? We are so many wives. What is He talking about?”

So they went down and said this to the river, and the river went down, and they were surprised that “this husband of ours is saying all these things.” They went across and worshipped that rishi and they were coming back, again the river was in floods. So they went back to the rishi, said, “Now how are we to cross over because it’s in floods?”

He said, “How did you come?” So they told the story of Shri Krishna. Now they had fed this rishi with food and fruits and he had eaten such a lot. “All right, you go and tell this river that this rishi has not eaten at all anything.”

They said, “How can it be? Just now you ate before us.” He said, “Just go and see.” They went back and told this to the river. The river again went down.

So to live in this world, to be a wife or to be a husband, to be married, whatever it is, you can be innocent, absolutely innocent about it. That’s the sign of your purity.

The second nadi, the second channel that can take you to destruction is desire. That’s why Buddha has said that desirelessness is the only way that people do not get old, nor sick, nor worried.

Now this desire that we have, “I want this,” ................

Desires can be of any kind, not only material. The desires could be also quite mental, “I must possess this woman, I must possess this child.” All kinds of possessions that work into you as desires. But I wouldn’t say it is because of attachment. It’s not attachment, but it is just to have more. Go on adding up things, getting things – still one doesn’t feel happy and satisfied. What is the reason for this kind of a desire is that it’s not pure desire. It’s an impure desire. It’s an impure desire, and when such a desire starts working you can go any far, like Saddam Hussein, like Hitler, like anything is nothing but absolutely desire beyond any limitations. You want to dominate others is also another desire.

All these desires lead you ultimately to a destruction, because there’s no joy, there’s no happiness. .........

So what should we do as far as the desire is concerned?

The desire for beautiful things – we can shift our desire, material desire into aesthetics, and have one thing but which is really aesthetically rich; because that’s the quality of Shiva, that He gives aesthetics to everything. Now supposing this looks very plain, simple and one may say that mechanical. But if it was Shiva’s job He would have done something beautiful about it.

So the quality of Shiva is that He beautifies everything that is created by Brahmadeva, evolved by Vishnu. He’s the one who does the subtle work of creating aesthetics........................

Everything that is created is made beautiful, is joy-giving, by Shiva – that’s His quality.

So whatever you desire, if you start working it out, desiring for something aesthetically handmade, nice thing, gradually you’ll find you’ll end up with vibrations, because all beautiful things have vibrations. And to have the vibrations you’ll have to go to pure desire.

So this desire which is madness, which makes you mad, which is so much dull and boring becomes pure desire, because you have to dissolve all your desires into vibration. You start desiring nothing but vibrations after some time. You’ll not buy anything which has no vibrations. You’ll not talk to a person who has no vibrations. ..................

So then what happens, all desire ends up into chaitanya, into vibrations. And if it does not, then you must know there’s something still missing. But if you do not do this, then you end up into your destruction.

So to say that He’s a destroyer is a very one-sided statement. He has both the powers. He has the power to give you vibrations. He gives you vibrations......................
