來到霎哈嘉的人有三種


*** 來到霎哈嘉的人有三種 ***


(霎哈嘉)尋訪求道(seeking)的人有三種類別,最低的一種是他們有身體上的問題,或有一些不適、疾病,或已面臨死亡的威脅,在他們的心中有一些急迫,所以他們來到霎哈嘉。霎哈嘉是可以給他們一些幫助,但這不是霎哈嘉的首要優先的對象。(註一)


第二種來到霎哈嘉的人,在他們生命中(並非在追求真理),而只是在追求其他一些不是很有意義的東西,如工作、金錢等等,但在這一種人之中,亦有一些人會想去了解為何他們會是如此,(去追求金錢、工作等)


第三種人又可以分成兩類:第一類人是追求平衡、正法、公義,因為他們發現這世界中有許多可怕、有害、危險的人,他們擔心世界正在發生的各種災害戰亂,他們對此很震驚,所以他們想去尋找一個解決方案,也想知道自己為什麼會來到地球,這種人在梵文中叫 "bahirmukhis",即他們的注意力放在外面(的世界),但是都是針對精微、神聖的事物。第二類人是求道者(seekers),他們在過去的累世已一直在追求真理,他們(可能過去)曾經待在喜馬拉雅山脈山谷裏,可能也試過種種的方法,然後在這一世又再度誕生在這裏,希望能尋得真理,他們是所謂的 "Antarmukhis",即他們是向内追尋的人。


霎哈嘉的首要優先目標是要找到第三種人(註二),第三種人中的兩個類型都一樣重要。當他們得到自覺之後,他們會同時獲致這兩種特質,即他們會變成一個向内追求的瑜伽士,同時他們也會和外面的世界連結、關心外面的世界。


註一:霎哈嘉可以治療許多疾病,Shri Mataji 在公開演講或私下場合也治療過無數的人,她也講過霎哈嘉練習者都有這個能力,但是她也一再強調治療疾病並不是霎哈嘉的目的。當聽眾在公開演講一直詢問疾病之種種,Shri Mataji常說能不能問一些更有意義的問題。


註二:Shri Mataji曾提過女神九次降世殺惡魔,就是為了拯救、保護求道者。Shri Mataji 這一生的精力主要也都是針對求道者,這是毫無疑問的。

There are three types of people who come to seeking. The lowest type are the ones who have some sort of physical ailments or some torture some diseases or who are on the verge of dying or something like that, an emergency in their mind so they come to sahaja yoga. All right, even if they come, they can be helped – that’s not our top priority. Then there are second type of sahaja yogies or we can say the people who come to sahaja yoga are the people who are seeking other things in life like jobs, money, this, that all nonsensical things.

But, among them there are some people who want to know the cause of the problem why they are like that. The third type are the people who can be divided into two one the type that seeks balance, dharma, righteousness because they find in the world people are so horrible, so mischievous, so dangerous, so restless – they get worried about all the worldly turmoils that are on, they get shocked and then they want to find a solution why have I come on this earth? This is one type as we call bahirmukhis – the ones, whose attention is outside but in a very subtler way, in a very Divine way. The second ones, in the same category, are the ones who are seekers who have been seeking in ages. They have been seeking in many lives they have been seekers of truth. They have been on hills and dales – Himalayas, everywhere – have done everything else and now born again here to be, to be able to find out the truth. These are called as Antarmukhis – these are the people who are inward. So the first priority we have to have of the third category, both the types are equally important. But after becoming realized, when you get your realization, then you achieve both the qualities simultaneously. You become a yogi inside and connected with the whole world.
