*** 注意力(Attention)與牽掛(Attachment) ***
在霎哈嘉瑜伽，你的心態可以完全抽離、沒牽掛，但(同時)又完全的連結，如何做得到呢？我有女兒，但我對她是無執與抽離的(detached)，我從不打電話給她，我從不在乎她如何，因為在霎哈嘉裡，你(會)知道一個人(現況)是如何，假如(她的)能量(vibration)是正常的，那麼你為什麼需要打電話給她呢？為什麼需要和她談話呢？為什麼需要問這個、問那個呢？完全沒有必要！只需要看能量你就知道一個人的狀況，所以你可以做到像完全沒有牽掛依戀。但是當你想知道某人的能量如何，或他是否有嚴重的狀況時，你是將完全的注意力(full
attention)放在那人身上 ，是完全的注意力！你放注在他身上的是"注意力"，而不是"牽掛"。牽掛並不會解決問題，解決問題的是注意力。但是當你無法做到抽離無執時，你的注意力會是一種有牽掛的注意力，這種注意力便無法放注到其他人身上，因為這是一種陷入泥沼的注意力，它完全陷入那個你無法抽離的人的身上。
當注意力無法從某人身上抽離時，這並非真正將注意力放在此人。假如你已達到那種(高)水平，無論何時你將注意力放在需要你關注的特定人，這注意力是會產生作用的。但是假如你無時不刻將你的注意力浪費在某人，那只是因為你無法放下牽掛依戀，那麼你的注意力也會疲憊，而不會起任何作用。
這是很弔詭的，若你太牽掛某人，那麼你的注意力反而是不會有作用。假如你不要繫念牽掛在那人身上，你就可以做其他任何(該做的)事，譬如你此刻必須去講課，你就可以去講課，你必須煮飯，你就會去煮飯等等。但假如你隨時繫念某人，你想要和他隨時有聯繫，這是完全不必要的，他一直都很好，你有如此多的擔憂是有什麼用呢？畢竟你有許多事要做，有霎哈嘉的工作、需要提升別人的昆達里尼......。假如你只關注一個人，這應該不是一件好事，這種依戀會讓你的注意力變成無用！完全的無用！
所以要讓注意力自由展翅，你的注意力不應受限於你的牽掛，它應有完全的自由，如此它會自動地運作、成就。而且你甚至會感到訝異當你不放注意力時，注意力反而會去運作成事。能擁有此精神力量的注意力是非凡的，這注意力正是愛，它就會這樣去行動成就，你會驚訝到它如何運作。我現在談的並不是屬於這個俗世，而是另外一個更高層的世界，在此世界你的注意力可以成就事情，而且是以如此優美的方式來成就事情，讓你驚訝到它是如何做到的呢？
假如你確實不要將你的注意力只固定在少數人身上，那麼你的注意力可以照顧整個世界，它會接收到所有資訊，也會給予所有該如何做來改正現狀的資訊。

In Sahaja Yoga, your state of mind is such that you are
absolutely detached and absolutely attached. How? For example, now, say, I have
my daughter: So I am detached. I never telephone to her, I am never
bothered about her. Because in Sahaja Yoga you know how is that person.
If the vibrations are right, why should you telephone? Why should you talk to
her? Why should you ask for anything? No need. Only on vibrations, you will know
how the person is. And so it will seem that you are absolutely detached. But
when you will find the vibrations are showing or are indicating something
serious about that person, what you will do [is] you will put full
attention to that. Full attention! You put attention, but not attachment.
So the attachment doesn’t solve the problem. What solves the problem is attention.
But when you are not detached, then your attention is [an] attached attention.
It’s an attention that is not available to everyone and [an] attention that
gets stuck, absolutely stuck into that person with whom you are
identified. Now try to understand it!
So to be identified with someone is not actually, what we
can say, paying attention to that person. And then your attention will
work. If you are of that level, whenever you put attention to that particular
person who needs your attention, it will work out. But if you are all the time
wasting your attention on a person because you are attached to that person,
your attention will be tired, it won’t work out.
It’s a big paradox that if you are attached to someone, then
your attention does not work. And if you are not attached to that person,
you’ll do everything else. Now, you have to give lecture alright I’m giving
lecture, then I have to do some cooking [so] I’ll do cooking; this, that, that
and that. But all the time you are thinking about that person, all
the time you want to have connection with that person. It’s not necessary.
That person is alright. What is there to be so much worried about that person?
After all, you have to do Sahaja Yoga, you have to do so many things, you have
to raise Kundalini of so many. Now you are getting attached to one person
somewhere. It’s not a very good thing? By that kind of attachment also, your
attention becomes useless, absolutely useless.
So let the attention be free. Attention should not be bound
by your attachments. Attention should be absolutely free so [that] it works
automatically, automatically. And you will be amazed [that] even if you
do not pay attention, the attention will work it out.
It is such a great thing to have that spiritual attention, which
is nothing but love. It will just act. You will be amazed how it will
acts.
It’s another world I am talking about, not this mundane world,
but something higher, where your attention works and works so beautifully that
you are amazed how it has worked. But you should not bound it by your
attachments. ........
But if you really don’t fix your attention to one
person or ten persons only then your attention looks after the whole
world. It receives all the information and also it gives all the
information [about] what is to be done to correct the situation.
