*** 你的想法與觀念都是虚構的 (下) ***
人本來就帶著許多制約(conditionings)，譬如你生在印度，你就認同印度的種種，生在英國，你就認同英國的種種，這許多的認同皆是你的制約，因為這些制約，你會對某些事情做出特別的反應。若是你生在某一種宗教的家庭，這宗教背景更會帶給你許多制約。當今已無真正追求內在信仰的宗教，這些世俗的宗教都只剩下外表，所以才會排斥其他宗教，才會彼此有很多爭戰。因為信仰宗教的人已被制約，這些制約使他們為宗教而戰。生在回教家庭的小孩，從小就以為他是一個回教徒；生在基督教的家庭亦同，在他們的腦中已被灌輸這種種宗教的觀念，這些觀念在他們的腦內根深蒂固，他們已被這些制約綁住，而沒有任何的自由。
若說"制約"是人類的第一個敵人，那麼"自我"就是令人頭痛的第二個大敵。人類從許多方面都會形成自我，人的自我其實是來自輪穴的缺陷(deformity)，例如來說，現代社會是完全金錢導向，有些人覺得金錢十分重要，他們累積了無數的錢財，但錢卻無法滿足他們的需要與欲望，也無法帶給他們快樂。他們會給修行人大量的錢，藉此來表示他們的堅信，甚至有些有錢人認為我必須單獨和他們見面，這些都是他們的自我在作祟，我們可以說錢帶給人類最大的自我。
另外，我再來舉一個有關"自我"的制約（譯者：被自我宰制）的例子，這在印度尤其明顯。許多丈夫認為必須主宰他們的妻子，如此才像一個男人，這種想法完全是被他們的自我所控制。請問這種主宰在夫妻關係中可以獲得喜悅快樂嗎？ (我們都知道)只有關心與愛才可以獲致一個喜樂的夫妻關係。這種宰制的錯誤想法也帶來另外一種反彈及反作用力，即現在社會有許多女人變得極端有掌控欲，這只是另一種來自自我的錯誤想法而已。
不論是來自"制約"或是來自"自我"，人類的種種想法與觀念其實只是一堆垃圾而已，它對人類並沒有什麼好處，但它卻無時不刻控制操縱人類的行為。人應該是掌控自己的想法，而非被想法所掌控才對。如何才能取回掌控權呢？如何才能控制我們的想法及觀念呢？有些人嘗試來控制心智頭腦及其產生的種種想法，但是說穿了，他們也只經由頭腦心智來控制頭腦心智，或許應該說經由制約及自我來控制原來的制約及自我而已，這是不會成功的。人類必須超越其頭腦及心智才可能成功。而喚醒昆達里尼正是超越種種想法及觀念的最有效途徑，因為當她穿越寬恕輪時，你就進入無思慮的狀態，你超越了種種來自制約及自我的想法及觀念，當她穿越頭蓋骨時，她帶你進入實相的領域。即你的大腦，或該說你的心，和外面無所不在的力量產生連結，這即是所謂的瑜伽。此時你的注意力已超越你種種的想法與觀念，若你將此注意力放在任何人、事或困難之上，立即將會有光照在這對象上，你將看到事情如何被成就、被解決，你的注意力是有能力做到一般人無法做到的事，因為此時你的注意力已被淨化，且和外在的神聖力量連結，所以它會展現出無以倫比的力量。

First of all,
if you are born an Indian then you are identified with India. If you are born
in England, you are identified with England.
.......
To react is a
sign of a person who is very conditioned. You can be conditioned by many other
things, like – you are born in a particular religion, now. As you know – what
has religion to do nowadays with human beings? There’s no real religion
anywhere – it has become like a money-orientation, or you can say, power
orientation.
That’s why they are all fighting among themselves, and you know for definite that no religion is exclusive. But they fight. The reason is, the mind is conditioned that, ‘you must fight for your religion’.
Now, they have no religion within; there’s no religion that is working out in their lives. They might be the most corrupt, most immoral people, but they belong to a particular religion, like a club. And then they start, you see, identifying themselves as something, and they have a right to do these things, because they belong to a particular religion or to cult, and this and that. .......

And then they start, you see, identifying themselves as something, and they have a right to do these things, because they belong to a particular religion or to cult, and this and that. .......
Because this
mind, which is just a bubble, as I told you, and is so limited, that it cannot
comprehend the beauty, the glory, the expanse of reality. This mind is just a
collection of all the garbage, we should say, which we have to, somehow or
other, deny and tell ourselves that, “I have to go beyond my mind. So-called
mind of mine has done no good for me. And this mind of mine, which has been all
the time controlling me, is just like the watch we have made and it is
controlling us, or like the computer that controls us.” ............
Many people
try to control the mind. There’s a way of doing it that, “I’ll control my mind
now.” Now, try to understand, how will you control the mind? Only through mind.
Either by ego or by your conditioning. You have no means of controlling your
mind, because it is the mind which you have created, and that is just existing
there, which you cannot control, though you might think, ‘I can control.’
You have to go beyond this mind. And to go beyond this mind the most helpful thing is Kundalini awakening. Because She passes through your limbic area, pierces through your – fontanel bone area and just takes you away, out into the realm of reality – and the Yoga takes place between your brain, I should say, your heart, with this All-pervading Power. ......

Now, once your
attention goes beyond the mind – only the Sahaj Yogis will understand this
point very clearly – when this mind goes beyond the thoughts then the
manipulation of the attention is very important. Then whatever you manipulate,
means you take this attention to this or to that or to that, you’ll be
surprised how dynamic you become, how effective you become, and how
knowledgeable you become.
Because, once you can take this attention to anything you want, immediately there is light on that issue, on that person, on that problem, and you see how it works out, how it helps. In Sahaja Yoga you have said, “Mother, there have been lots of miracles with Your Attention”, or something like that. I agree, but your attention also is quite capable of doing things which normal people can’t do, because now your attention is purified, firstly, and secondly it is manipulated with the Divine Power, and is manifesting its powers. ......

Their mind is
such that is so much made from childhood you are told, “You are a Muslim, you
are a Muslim, you are a Christian, you are a Christian”, so they believe it.
Supposing you are born in some other religion then what would have happened? You would have believed something different, but this mind has been injected with the ideas which has gone into your head and that’s how you are so much without any freedom. You are tied down with these conditionings. .......

Now, take the
second enemy of ours – is Mr. Ego, which is another headache, and which works
very fast in many countries where already ego has been bloated. ........
Now, this ego
comes to us from different, different angles, and it (Shri Mataji laughing) –
actually, you’ll be surprised – from the deformity of our chakras.
For some people, money is very important. We must get money, somehow or other. If I don’t get money, what’s the use of being in Sahaja Yoga? Money is very important. We are living in a money-oriented world, no doubt. But I have told you that what’s the use of having money that makes you a fool, which takes you – now, see the countries which are very much money- oriented, who are supposed to be very rich, all the Scandinavian countries and Switzerland, whatever may they have, they might have done to get that money, doesn’t matter, but they are people with money. People are committing suicide, young people are committing suicide, there’s a competition going on, they’re very unhappy. Why? That means money cannot bring happiness. ........

It is very
remarkable how people give money to these sadhus and babas in thousands and
thousands and crores of it. Because, I think in them it has come that to
satisfy their Shraddha they must give it, and so they give. And they have amassed
and amassed so much money, they have no sense of it. They don’t understand the
value of that. To them it is nothing but money.
So, in the modern times I think the worst thing of ego is money. I have seen people who are very rich, supposed to be great business “wallahs” and something like that, they must meet Me separately, “We must come, Mother, and see You.” .............

We have
others, lots of conditionings of ego. In our country specially, this Indian
country, India – so-called. You see, to dominate the wife is one of the
greatest ego. I have seen people, how they tortured women, their wives and the
children of others, just because they think, “I am a man.”
What do you get? You don’t get any joy, you can never be joyous. If you try to dominate another person you can never be joyous. Never be joyous. It’s only through loving and affection and care that you can feel the joy, because joy has these symptoms, joy is not domination, or demanding, or asking. These are not the signs of a person who is joyous. The joyous person is that who just enjoys the caring, the loving, the gentle relationship. ...............

So now the
women here have become extremely dominating also, naturally action has a
reaction. This reaction itself is a wrong idea, and this reaction should be
just dissolved into the feeling of pure love, the Ocean of Compassion. ........
