"神的自覺"不應是重點

 ***  "神的自覺"不應是重點 ***

前言：譯者：此談話的重點其實不在"神的自覺" (註一)，而是Shri  Mataji針對練習者的一些求道障礙、執着，來給予指導，"神的自覺"只不過是用來當例子。

另外一個常看到的困擾，即霎哈嘉練習者的障礙，就是他們會說 : "母親，我們想要有神的自覺"，這令我大笑！其實你們已經在那裏了！這就如同你們走入海中，然後你們說："母親，我們想要到海洋的底部"，你當然可以，只要你繼續往深處走去，你將會抵達海洋的底部。同樣地，一旦你已跨過自覺的門檻，且已跳入這慈悲與愛(compassion)的大洋，你是没有必要去達成什麼(目標或境界)。這種"必須達成什麼"的感覺或想法，如"我應該到達此階段，我應該到達那境界"，這些都是來自人類的想法的作祟而已！你們不應該再被它們糾纏，現在你們已是神聖國度的子民，所以不應該再想："我應該到達此境界，我應該到達那境界"，只要你繼續深入，放下腦中的那些糾纏，那麼有一天就會成就。

這就是我一直告訴你們的：你必須將自己融入這慈悲的海洋。

註一：Shri  Mataji說過靜坐有三個階段，一. 無思慮的靜觀 (thoughtless awareness，即Nirvichara)，二. 無疑惑的靜觀 (doubtless  awareness，即Nirvikalpa)，三. 完全的自覺。在這之上才是神的自覺(God's  Realization)，亦有三階段。佛陀(Buddha)及摩訶維瓦(Mahavira，或稱"大雄")兩個人並非降世神袛，但他們都達到了神的自覺，這也是人類可以到達的最高境地(1977-02-15)。請同時參考另一譯文："神的自覺"( http://sahajataiwan.blogspot.co.nz/2017/10/gods-realization-self-realization-god.html  ).

註二：譯者猜：由於Shri Mataji多次提到神的自覺是練習者可以達到的最高境界(1992-02-26，1977-02-15，1981-07-06)，所以當年有不少練習者汲汲於此，Shri  Mataji此段談話即如同襌師的棒喝。

Now, the third thing that troubles Sahaja Yogis is that, “Mother we want God’s realisation,”  that makes Me laugh.  You see, it is already there, already there.  Like once you get into the sea and you say “Mother, we want to go to the bottom of the sea,” you can always go, just slip, and you will be there.  In the same way, once you have developed a kind of a Self-realisation and have jumped into the ocean of this compassion, there’s no need to achieve anything. The sense of achievement, “I should be that, I should be this,” is all coming from your human haunting.  That should be over. Now you are Godly people.  So you should not think, “I should achieve this state, I should achieve that state,” but just go on slipping, just giving up all the weights that you have in your heads and it will work out.  This is what I have been saying to you that: you have to dissolve yourself into the compassion.

神的自覺(God's Realization)

*** 神的自覺(God's Realization)  ***

 
在得到自覺(Self-realization)後，有許多企圖心旺盛的人想達到神的自覺(註一)。首先最重要的是，你應該知道人類是不可能變成全能的上帝(God Almighty)，所謂的神的自覺是指知道上帝(的種種)，即藉著成為全能上帝的一部分，來知道祂的大能如何運作、祂如何掌控(一切)。如同這手指無法知道大腦，它只能依大腦的指令來行事，手指是無法變成大腦的，但它必須完全依照大腦來動作，因為它們之間是有連結的、是一體的。當你有神的自覺時，就如同你知道大腦了，你知道上帝的種種，你知道祂的大能，你知道有關祂的一切。......(註二).......經由愛、經由奉獻、經由祈求禱告，你可以去知道上帝的種種大能，這是你成為神的自覺的途徑。

當你達到神的自覺時，當你内在有種種有關神的知識時，你就可以控制大自然，你可以控制所有的事情。要到達如此的境地，你必須有完全的謙卑(humility)來理解你是不可能變成上帝、變成神祇(Deities) 。但是你們確實是可能到達神的自覺，即神可以經由你來運作行事，將你當成祂的大能的運作管道，而且你知道祂在你身上做了什麼、祂告訴你什麼、祂的遠景又是什麼、什麼是衪的訊息等等，即你和祂之間有如此的連結。

許多霎哈嘉練習者經由靜坐獲得了一些益處，但是他們不知道這些好處是如何達成的、是誰來成就這些效益、如何成就這些效益，他們不知道是什麼樣的連結來幫助他們。一旦你清楚了解這種種，知道這些效益是如何達成，知道那些你已獲得的大能(powers)來幫助你獲得這些效益，這就是一種神的自覺。到達此境界的人會擁有許多能力，從某一個角度來說，他可以控制許多事物。

有不少瑜伽士已接近此一境界(註三)，但是有時候他們從這個高度摔下來，即他們長出了"自我"(ego)，他們没有應該有的謙卑、虔誠奉獻(devotion, dedication)與順服(surrendering)。我看過一些這種人，他們變得很自豪，對自己的成就頗以為傲，而不肯給予其他人，他們認為自己是歷經許多波折才獲致此成就，為什麼要給他人呢？這種人就不可能再更上層樓了！但是那些獲得自覺，而且謙卑的練習者，將可以達到順服的境地，即穆罕默德所說的伊斯蘭(Islam)。假如你無法順服，那麼你絕對無法知道上帝。穆罕默德很清楚說過：除非你知道自己的真我(Self)，否則你是不可能知道上帝！

註一：Shri  Mataji說過靜坐有三個階段，一. 無思慮的靜觀 (thoughtless awareness，即Nirvichara)，二. 無疑惑的靜觀 (doubtless awareness，即Nirvikalpa)，三. 完全的自覺。在這之上才是神的自覺(God's Realization)，亦有三階段。佛陀(Buddha)及摩訶維瓦(Mahavira，或稱"大雄")兩個人並非降世神祇，但他們都達到了神的自覺，這也是人類可以到達的最高境地(1977-02-15)。但也另有其他談話說三個目標是：一. 無思慮的靜觀，二. 無疑惑的靜觀，三. 神的自覺(1996-03-03)。

註二：此處Shri Mataji順便談到自己，譯者將此部分放在此：至於了解我(指Shri Mataji)，對你們而言是非常困難，因為我是大幻相(Mahamaya)，是非常難去知道我的一切，我是一個非常不容易被了解、非常容易令人疑惑的人。而且我所做和我所成就的，皆只是為了你們能夠去看清楚(實相)、去了解(這一切)，畢竟這是太初之母(Adi Shakti)的工作，她能做這些事，(或許)你也能做這些事，但你不能變成我。

註三：原文好像是指達到神的自覺的境界，但是譯者從上下文的理解，Shri Mataji 此處應非指已完成神的自覺的人，較可能是指：一.  神的自覺的初階，根據1977-02-15及1981-07-06的談話，Shri Mataji說神的自覺也分三階段；或是二. 指尚未達到神的自覺的練習者，即前一段"他們不知道這些好處是如何達成的、是誰來成就這些效益"的練習者，因為不肯教人的練習者，恐怕連無疑惑的靜觀階段都尚未達到。                                       

註四： 江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji在Mahashivaratri Puja的談話1996-03-03. JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正.

Now this main question today, which I’m going to tell you about – that, what is God’s Realization? First is the Self-Realization, and there are many ambitious people who want to become God’s Realized.
First and foremost thing, we should know that human beings cannot become God. It’s not the becoming of it. ........

But one cannot become God Almighty, this one has to understand very clearly. But what is God’s Realization is to know about God. You see, to know about God means to know how His powers are working, how He controls, by becoming part and parcel of God Almighty. Like My finger doesn’t know about My brain, but it acts according to My brain. The finger cannot become the brain, but it has to act absolutely according to My brain, because it is so connected, it is so one.
Here, when you have the God’s Realization, then you know about the brain, you know about God, you know about His powers, you know everything about Him. As far as I am concerned, it’s a difficult task for you, because I’m a Mahamaya. It’s very difficult for you to know each and every thing about Me. I am quite a illusive person, as you know that well. And whatever I do or whatever I achieve, it is just for you to see and understand that – after all this is Adi Shakti, and She can do all these things. You can also do all the things, but you cannot become Me. But you have to know, to know, through love, through devotion through prayers, to know the God’s powers is the way you are God Realized.
Then you can control the nature, you can control everything, if you have that knowledge within you about God. For that a complete humility is needed, that you cannot become God, cannot become God Almighty, you cannot become the Deities. But definitely, you can become God Realized, means God acts through you, uses you as his power, as His channel, and that you know, that you know, what He’s doing to you, what He’s telling, what His vision is, and what is the information. The connection is like that.

Many people in Sahaja Yoga have been benefited, I know. But they don’t know how they have been benefited, what has worked it out, how it has worked it out, what connection of theirs has helped them. Once you do that, you know that clearly, how things are working out, with what power you have achieved it, then it’s a God’s Realization. Such people become extremely powerful, in the sense that they can control so many things.

There have been many saints of that kind, but sometimes they fell from even that and they developed their ego. They didn’t have their own humility that they should have, that devotion, that dedication, that surrendering. They fell down. And you see them, I have seen some of them, that they become quite proud of their achievements and they don’t want to give it to anyone. They think they have achieved it with great difficulties and why should they give it to others. Such people are not going to rise very higher, but you people who have got your Realization, and who are humble, who know that out of humility only, you are going to achieve your surrendering.
Islam means surrender. Mohammed Sahib has talked about ‘Islam’, meaning: “You surrender”.
If you cannot surrender, you can never know God. He’s clearly said that: “Unless and until you know your Self, you will not know about God”.

錫呂克里希納與無執

*** 錫呂克里希納與無執 ***

關於無執着的狀態(detachment)，你隨時需要注意的是：你(每天)用"我"多少次？-------"我"看到這個、"我"享受這個、"我"這個、"我"那個、這是"我"的小孩、這是"我"的房子.......。當你用"我"太多時，就表示你不是處在無執着的抽離(detached)狀態。要試著去自己省察看看，你說多少的"我"------"我"必須將此工作做完、"我"必須做這個、"我"必須達成這個人生的目標.......，這些都是迷思。一旦你抽離出來，會是一種不同的境界。我指的是一種狀態，而不是你刻意去做倒立或什麼動作就可以達到此狀態，而是必須逐步成長來達到這種狀態。

錫呂克里希納(Shri Krishna)的一生可以說是完全的無執與抽離，甚至當祂和亞周那(Arjuna)去打仗時也是如此，祂說："我只是幫你駕駛馬車，我不使用武器"。在薄迦梵歌(Gita)中有記錄他們之間很有名的對話，戰爭即將進行，而祂卻對亞周那談哲學，我們是很難想像祂的抽離與無執。亞周那問他："我怎能去殺戮呢？對方都是我的親戚、我的老師、我的朋友，我如何能去殺他們呢？"，錫呂克里希納答道："他們都已經(早就)死了！任何生命終就會死亡，所以你必須上戰場殺死他們！"。錫呂克里希納並非在鼓勵暴力殺戮，而是說那些人是違反正法，他們是殘暴的人，他們已犯了許多罪，他們是需要被懲罰的，不論你殺不殺他，他們是猶如已死，並不是你殺人，而是上天要殺他們。

亞周那接著問："假如是如此，為什麼你要我去上戰場，去造這些業(karma)呢？"，錫呂克里希納用一個很善巧的方式來回答他："你去做你該做的事，而將你的業都放在我的蓮足(My Feet)之前"。其實這是不可能的，只要你知道是你在做此事，不論是來自"自我"或其他，只要有這個"我"存在你之内，那麼你就造了業，是不可能將"業"放在錫呂克里希納的蓮足之前，由祂來承擔。正如一個謀殺犯殺了人，然後說："我將這一切放在神的蓮足之前"，這當然不可能免去其惡業。其實錫呂克里希納的說法必須在你得到自覺後，你才可能明瞭。當你真正感覺到你没有在做任何事，此時你的行事作為變成"不造業"(akharma)，即是如同你没有做任何事，雖然你做了某事，但你不覺得你去做此事。例如有一次我要一位練習者去給某人自覺，他回來說："母親，靈量上不來，這輪穴有阻塞，那邊有問題，所以靈量上不來"。他就像一個第三者在講此事，雖然他是用他的手去提升那個人的靈量，但他不是說："我去提升他的靈量，但他的靈量上不來。"(註一)

註一：Shri Mataji在不同的談話提過這個例子多次，其大意是：雖然你是用你的手去提升某人的靈量，但其實不是你在做，是無所不在的力量經由你來提升他人的靈量，所以做此事時要儘可能保持抽離的態度，不要講：我提升了某人的靈量。

註二： 江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji在錫呂克里希納普祭(Shri Krishna Puja)的談話1993-12-11. JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正.

Now for that, whether you are at that stage or not, first thing you must notice, how many times I use the word „I,“ „me.“ „How many times I said, "I saw this, I enjoyed this, I this, I that“ or „This is my child, this is my house“ – something like that.

When you start using „I“ too much, then you are not detached. Try to introspect. „How many times I say, "I have got this work to be done, I’ve got to do this, I must furnish this, I must achieve this, this is the goal of my life?’“ These are all words of illusion. Once you get detached, it’s a state again, I say. I wouldn’t say that by standing on your head you’ll get detached or anything like that. It’s a state into which one has to grow.

So Shri Krishna’s message all his life was complete detachment. Even when He went with Arjuna for a war, He said, „I will be just the driver of your chariot, but I will not raise any weapons, I will not fight. I will be just your charioteer and if you agree to that condition, I’ll be there.“ Actually, when Arjuna had a question, „How can I kill? These are my relations. These are my gurus. These are my close people, my friends. How can I kill them?“ And he became very depressed. When he became depressed Krishna said that, „Do you know that they’re already dead? Anything that is born has to die. So you have to kill them.“ Now people can say that Krishna was preaching violence. No, not that, but what He said that those people, who are adharmis, who have no sense of dharma, who have been so cruel, who have been very much against the tradition of dharma, they have to be killed. Whether you kill them or not, they’re already dead because they have committed so many sins, they’re already dead. So you should not think that you are killing. But it’s a Divine which is going to kill them, so-called killing. And so the war started.

In the Gita also, people have very less understanding as to what He wanted to communicate. The first thing – I mean the war is on and He’s talking about philosophy, can you imagine the detachment of a person. The first thing He told him, that you should take to ghyana [???]. „Ghyan“ means bhod [???]. Bhod, as you know, is only possible through enlightenment. So He said you should take to ghyana, to bhod, which is enlightenment. But people don’t understand ghyan. They think that by reading books, by reading all kinds of – there are so many criticisms of Gita, reading, all that, or understanding [???]. There are many in this country who are giving lectures on Shri Krishna. In their own lives, they are horrible.

So, He first – He told the best thing to be done, that is the only thing to be done. He was a – not a businessman. The businessman will tell you first something which is not so good, then better, better, better [???]. But He said, outright, that that is the one by which you become Sitya Pragya [???] – means Sahaj Yogi. He said clearly. But Arjuna said then, „If it is so, why do you want to me to go on war, to do this karma?“ That is also very much misunderstood. Only after realization, you can understand what He meant by doing karma. He has said it very clearly. That you do your work, karmas, your whatever you have to do, your action and put it at My Lotus Feet,“ which is an impossible situation, as long as you have the sense that you are doing something, [???] that due to ego, you might call it, as long as you have this feeling within you or maybe when there is still that “I” is existing within you, you may think that, „I’m putting it at the Lotus Feet of God,“ but you don’t. Because Shri Krishna knew after Arjuna asked the question, that human nature is not straight forward, they won’t understand in a straightforward way, so He was diplomatically, He told them, „All right, put everything at My Feet which you cannot do.“ So people tried that. Ages they have tried and they have found out, it doesn’t work out that way. „Whatever we do, we feel responsible for it. So why should we think that we are putting at the Lotus Feet of Shri Krishna?“ For example, some people who were murderers, they would say, „All right, we have murdered, all right, but we have put it at the Lotus Feet of God.“ This kind of a delusion happened. I mean there were horrible people in this country who used to kill travellers in the name of Goddess. All these misunderstandings, we [???] them, they started doing it.

So He said that, „Your karmas should be at My Lotus Feet.“ It’s only possible after your realization, when you really feel that you’re not doing anything. We ask a Sahaja Yogi to give realization to somebody. He tells Me, „It’s not going. It’s not working.“ He talks like a third person. He becomes a third person. He never thinks that he is doing it. He is raising the kundalini himself with his own hand. He doesn’t say, „I am doing it“ or he’ll just say, „It doesn’t work out, Mother. Doesn’t work out.“ „What’s the matter?“ He would just say, „This chakra is there. This problem is there,“ but he would never say that, „I am doing it.“

So this karma, this action becomes akharma, means non-action. Though you’re acting, doing everything, still you don’t feel you are doing any. That’s why he said – “Normally, people wouldn’t take to Self-realisation, so better to give them this condition that whatever you do you put at the Lotus Feet of God.“

一個有關完全抽離、不沾染 (detachment) 的故事

*** 一個有關完全抽離、不沾染 (detachment) 的故事 ***

有一天, 對岸的村莊來了一位知名的導師(Guru). 克里希納(Shri Krishna) 的皇后及嬪妃們(註一)想去向這位大師致意, 錫呂克里希納說: 妳們就去啊! 可是妻眾們走到河邊, 發現河水暴漲, 根本無法渡河, 於是返回向克里希納報告. 克里希納答道: 這個簡單! 妳們只要向河水說: "假如克里希納是Yogeshwara(瑜伽之主), 他是一個獨身未婚者, 那麼就請河水退下! " 妻眾們相視而笑, 滿臉盡是荒謬的表情. 克里希納但說道: 妳們就去試試看吧! 妻眾們到河邊, 半信半疑向河水重述了這個說詞, 那知瞬間河水就下降了! 妻眾們到達對岸向大師致意, 並服侍他許多美食. 吃罷, 談話畢. 她們向導師告辭, 走到河邊, 發現河水又已氾濫到岸邊, 只好回去問導師應如何. 那導師就問道: 早上妳們是如何渡河呢? 她們就將之前的故事, 一五一十重述一次. 這位導師笑道: 這個不難! 妳們只要向河水說: "假如這位導師今天什麼都沒吃, 那麼就請河水退下! "  妻眾們滿臉疑惑回到河邊, 重複大師的說詞, 但見河水又即刻退下. 當她們走過河床回首一看, 那位導師正站在對岸大笑道:

" 這就是瑜伽之主全然不沾染的功夫! "

錫呂瑪塔吉：到達這種境界的人，甚至他們吃東西時，他們也如同未吃，甚至他們是已婚有配偶，也如同單身未婚一般，因為他們已達完全抽離、完全不沾染的狀態。到達這種狀態的人，對於他們的行事與生活完全没有任何的依戀與執着。
我無法說你們如何到達這種境界，但是在昆達里尼的幫助，及你自己靜坐的努力，及你的昆達里尼修補得更強大後，你就可以達到此境界。當你達到此境界，你會驚訝到自己對外物是如此地超然、不執著，你會驚訝到你從事任何工作時，也不覺得自己正在(費力)做此事，你可以處理很多事而又不覺得疲累。這是一種狀態，是你們必須去達成的。

說明一: 克里希納主掌喉輪, 祂是三大神祇之壹的毗濕奴(Vishnu)的降世. 喉輪的特性之一即是抽離、不沾染 (detachment), 這也是克里希納降世想給人類提昇的意識. 錫呂瑪塔吉多次以此故事來闡釋抽離、不沾染的狀態. 克里希納有眾多妻子, 但對祂而言, 祂卻仍然可保持猶如未婚的超然, 正如那位導師未曾沉溺在美食, 雖吃卻猶如未吃，即他們完全不執着在食、色的慾望上。

說明二: 抽離、不沾染的相對即是執著、牽掛 (attachment). 錫呂瑪塔吉曾說許多霎哈嘉練習者結婚之後, 開口閉口都是"我的小孩", "我的家庭", 這就是執著、牽掛, 從此之後, 他們就迷失了.(見1988/08/06談話)

註一: 克里希納共有一萬六千零五位妻子, 五位是五大元素的化身, 一萬六千則是祂的16000力量(power)的轉世.

註二: 江瑞凱綜合翻譯自Shri Mataji 演講 1982/08/15, 1984/08/18, 1988/08/06, 1993/12/11(即故事的部份)。文中後段則是來自於錫呂瑪塔吉在錫呂克里希納普祭(Shri Krishna Puja)的談話 1993-12-11。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正.

The point is, those people who are at that level, even when they eat, they don’t eat. Even they are married, they are celibate. It’s a state. It’s a state in which you are completely detached. Absolutely detached. You don’t feel the attachment of the work you are doing or the life you are leading. I cannot say how one should become detached. Of course, with the Kundalini working out and you meditating, all that and fixing the Kundalini properly, it will work out. You’ll be amazed how you’ll become detached about things and how you can manage things without feeling that you are doing it, how you can work out so many things without feeling even tired. It’s a state and that is the state one has to achieve. (1993-12-11)

從現實的牽掛走出來

*** 從現實的牽掛走出來 ***

對今日的求道者而言，現代的環境中有一個很大的阻礙，可以說是像咀咒一樣，它比過去的惡魔還更邪惡，那就是"現實的牽掛"(materialism, 註一)。在你的昇進途中，往往被這些現實的牽掛所抓住，它讓你變得粗糙，而不再是精微。

舉例來說，練習者會問我如下的問題：
"我的兒子應該取什麼名字？"
"母親，我們錯過了火車，現在該怎麼辦呢？"
"我的父親病了，他有心臟的問題，但他不是霎哈嘉練習者，能否請母親幫忙？"
"我的孩子應該上那一所學校？"
"我們要搬家，是否應一併帶走椅子？"

為了這些小事，他們可以寫信、打電話給我，我實在無法想像他們竟不知我來世的目的是什麼。
假如你無法認清自己做為一個自覺的靈的價值，那麼你就無法知道我的時間的寶貴。假如我來應付你們這些現實的牽掛，那麼我此次來世將會完全浪費掉。我不知道在這個時代，你們的腦袋出了什麼問題？你此生最重要的事應是昇進和成長，但你們却牽掛這些小事。你應該從大角度來看全貌，為什麼這宇宙被創造？為什麼你被創造成為人類？假如你可以看到全貌，那麼你就會開始試圖了解自己目前的境地：我現在是處在那裏？上天是如何選擇了我？我現在成為了霎哈嘉瑜伽士，那麼什麼是我的責任呢？

在你的前世裏，你從未和真理連結，也從未和無所不在的力量連結，也從未和全能的上帝連結，所以你必須了解到此生你的昆達里尼可以上升，你可以得到自覺，這是何等難得的奇蹟！這是過去從未發生過的！但是在這個時代看到的，竟是這些得到自覺的人無法體悟他們此生的價值，他們詢問的、擔心的却都是這世俗、現實的牽掛。對每一件小事，他們都來問我，但是却不會來問我真正重要的事。霎哈嘉原本是如此神聖、重要的，但却被用在一些不重要、可笑的地方。

在得到自覺後，原本就應該直接朝你的目標前進，追求你的成長，你應該是不再追求這些世俗的東西。有人說他想要有一個小孩，整個社會不是有很多小孩，你也可以去照顧他們，為什麼你死心蹋地想要一個自己的小孩呢？ "我想要什麼" 這個概念應該從此離你而去才對，而不是"我想要這個，我想要那個"。你應該變成不再執着依戀這些世俗、現實的東西。當你到達這種無執着的狀態(detachment)，没有什麼外物可以綁住你，因為這些(對你)都已不重要，唯一重要的是你的靈性昇進，没有任何外物比靈性昇進更吸引你。

你們是被所有的力量照顧、祝福的一群，但是你們不願意去練習運用這些力量，不願去探究你有那些能力。你只擔心你自己的小孩，只關心要穿那一件莎麗，只注意到誰會成為集體的領導人，只注意到領導人有什麼問題，所有這些都不會幫助你成長，你來到霎哈嘉的目的也不在此！要試著去理解，你來到霎哈嘉是為了變成一個靈，然後將靈的光散播出去，其他的種種都不重要。

所以在這個階段，你必須要自我省思：你現在在做什麼？你將做什麼？你將做到什麼程度？現在是宇宙演化的重要關鍵，而你們是最重要的靈魂，假如你不看重在霎哈嘉的一切，不看重你的真我，那麼爲什麼神要關心你呢？為什麼神要將注意力放在你的身上呢？

註一：materialism指的是物質主義、現實主義，綜觀此談話，Shri Mataji指的是一種牽掛、執着的心態，不只對物質，更是對現實、對生活的一些牽掛，所以譯者翻譯成"現實的牽掛"，以利讀者流暢閱讀全文。
