錫呂毗濕奴與正法及平衡
***
錫呂毗濕奴(Shri Vishnu，註一)是這個宇宙的維持與保護者(preserver)。當這整個世界被創造時，也必須創造一位維護者，因為假如完全讓這個世界自行運作，而沒有一位維護者，那麼這個世界可能會被毁壞。(我們只需)考量人類的行事方式，人們是可能對這個世界做任何(破壞的)事。
錫呂毗濕奴不只是維護者，祂也是唯一真正有降世的神祇(incarnation)。當然梵天婆羅摩(Brahmadeva)亦降世過(一、二次)。在人類的演化過程，錫呂毗濕奴以不同的面貌(forms)(降世)，祂以不同的方式來到這個地球。祂也在祂周圍創造出許多偉大的先知(prophets)，所以他們可以來維護這宇宙的正法(dharma)。
祂所要維護的根本是正法，正法是靈性生命中最重要的基石，而在正法中正是要建立(人的)平衡(balance)，(因為)人類有一種特性，即在各種事物中都會走向極端，所以祂在人類的内在創造出一個平衡。可以說正法的第一個原理即是產生出平衡。
假如一個人没有平衡，那麼他將無法獲致昇進(註二)，這個道理很簡單，就如同你的飛機(左右)不平衡，那如何飛上天空呢？船也一樣，(左右)不平衡的船是無法航行的。同樣地，人們首先必須要先達到(左右)平衡。
註一：錫呂毗濕奴是駐在臍輪的神祇，此譯文談及臍輪的一個重點。
註二：Shri Mataji 在許多談話中都提過：幻海的十大宗師所談的都是正法，目的就是要協助人類獲致平衡，而就平衡就是為下一步做準備，即為中脈的昇進及自覺做準備。

的談話1994-08-28. JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正.
And Vishnu is the one who is the preserver of this universe. When this
whole world was created it was necessary to create a preserver also because
this world would have been destroyed and completely if it is left alone without
a preserver, then the way human beings are, they could have done anything to
this world.
But so, Vishnu is the preserver. He’s the preserver and He’s the only
one really incarnates. Of course, sometimes Brahmadeva also incarnated, but He
only takes forms. In our evolutionary process He has taken different forms. He
came on this earth in different ways.
But still He had, as you say, twelve – up to twelve was Shri Rama and up
through ten He was there. So He created also an atmosphere of the many great
prophets around Himself so that they could preserve the dharma of this
universe.
So the basis of preservation was dharma, which has got, as you know, the
most important basic foundation for spiritual life. In this dharma whatever was
to be established was to be established balance. Was a habit with people to go
to extremes in anything.
So He created a balance within us. The first principle of dharma was to
create balance. If a person doesn’t have a balance then he cannot achieve his
ascent. As simple as that. If you don’t have a balance in your airplane it
cannot ascend. If you don’t have a balance, say on a ship, it won’t move.
In the same way, first the human beings had to achieve the balance.
