*** 關於純真的種種 ***
人類的最大同情心出現在(小孩子及他人的)純真(innocence)受到侵犯時，這是人類內在就有的，在人類的内裡有這個力量(power)------來自錫呂格涅沙(Shri Ganesha) 的力量，這個力量會給你這種感覺、能力來知道你必須去保護純真、純真的小孩、純真的人。而且整個世界都會挺身而出來反對那些屠殺純真人民的壞蛋，這是毫無疑問的！若有人不會反對、批評此種對純真人民的攻擊，那麼他們就是尚未進化到人類的階段。最高貴的人可以犧牲任何東西，可以放棄任何東西，但他們無法放下捨棄他們必須對純真負責的感覺，這是非常奇特的！人們並不了解人的内裡對純真的喜愛及保護心是猶如海洋之深廣。當人們看到純真的人、純真的小孩受到攻擊，是會引發最大的意志力，這就是人類的美麗之處！
假如你無法愛小孩子，那麼你也無法愛任何的人或物。至今為止我仍未碰過宣稱不喜歡小孩的人。或許有人會說："我們喜歡花朵"，為什麼？為什麼你喜歡花朵？因為花朵就是純真的，因為純真的美麗就顯現在花朵裡面。為什麼你愛大自然？因為大自然就是純真的。
國家是會被摧毀的，但是純真的力量是無法被摧毀的，你必須對此有信心，你必須對你的真我有完全的信心，你的真我其實就是純真！有人可能會說純真的人往往被人欺騙，但是沒有人可以騙走純真，因為純真是有永恆價值的寶貴東西。他們或許會騙走你的錢，或是在一些(世俗的)東西上欺騙你，但是你最永恆存在的是你的純真，(他們是無法騙走的)。假如你是完全的純真，而且持續照顧你的純真，那麼你將是生命中最成功的人。如同前面提到的，純真是絕對不可能被摧毀的，它可能被你不好的想法、不好的行為所遮蓋，只是暫時被遮蓋。但是假如你可以將純真天空上的烏雲去除，那麼毫無疑問的，你會贏得全世界的尊敬！
如何變得純真呢？你要做什麼呢？首先你可以自己觀察你的內心如何運作？它在做什麼呢？它對外界如何反應呢？這些是你必須去觀察的，這就是我所說的"反省"(introspection)。你的內心都在盤算什麼？它認為什麼是最好的呢？在這些你內心的思考、思緒中，什麼是觀察你自己的重點呢？最重要的部分就是要去知道：你對他人是如何來做反應？是一種純真的反應嗎？或是一種有報復心的反應呢？
現在你們都是霎哈嘉練習者，應該很容易來觀察你自己，當有人對你有攻擊性的侵犯時，你可以觀察你自己是有什麼樣的反應，當任何的麻煩降臨你，你又如何來反應呢？你會有什麼行為呢？假如你是一個擁有大能的人，那麼你的行為會是你毫不在意，你自己知道這只是一個笨蛋在對你做這些事，是完全愚蠢的行為！既然他們在做這些蠢事，那麼我們又何必去在意呢！
我們應該知道必須來尊崇(worship)我們的純真，有時候有人會覺得他就是因為(太)純真而被他人控制指揮，而會有一些沮喪："為什麼我被如此對待呢？"，這些想法可能會來到你的腦袋裡，但是假如你尊崇你的純真，那麼你會經常都是一個快樂的人、親切的人，也是一個謙虛的人。
每一個人都必須小心，你是你自己的摧毀者，就是你摧毀了你自己！以希特勒為例，他摧毀了他自己，沒有人摧毀他。當然每一個人遲早都會死，所以希特勒也會死，但是將希特勒澈底摧毀殺死的是他自己！所以你可能殺了自己，但是假如你是純真的，藉著純真你可以拯救你自己，而且可以變得十分光輝亮麗！要對純真的力量有信心！
最重要的是：在你的生命中你如何展現出純真的力量？如何對待他人？這就是所謂的"愛"。除非你對自己是如此，否則你是不可能有真正的慈悲、親切。或許你暫時可以有這些感覺，但是只有在你的人格中有持續的純真流動時，這種永久的、真正的慈悲的特質才會降臨你身上。

The
greatest sympathy comes when innocence is being challenged. That’s what human
beings have. Within themselves they have the power, power of Shri Ganesha,
which gives you that feeling, that capacity, that understanding that you have
to protect innocent (the
innocent/innocence), innocent children, innocent people. And the
whole world can rise against all such people who are trying to kill the
innocent. There cannot be any doubt. If they cannot oppose such an attack, or
criticise such a thing, then they are not yet human beings, I would say.
The highest personality can sacrifice anything and can give up
anything, but they cannot give up the feeling they have for innocence. It’s
very remarkable. We don’t realise how much there is this ocean of protection
and love for the innocent. What attracts the greatest strength is when we see
an innocent person, innocent children, are under attack. That’s the beauty of
human beings. .......
If you cannot love children, you cannot love anything. I have
not come across anyone so far who says that they don’t love children – luckily!
But maybe some might say “We love flowers”. Why? Why do you love flowers?
Because they are innocent. Because that beauty of innocence is within them. You
love nature – why? Because it is innocent.
.......
Nations after nations can be destroyed, but the power of
innocence cannot be destroyed. Have faith in that. You have to have complete
faith in yourself, and that ‘yourself’ is nothing but innocence. You may say
that ‘innocent people get cheated’. Nobody can cheat innocence, because that is
something of very eternal value.
They might cheat you in money, might cheat you in something, but
the thing that is the most eternal is your innocence. And you will be the most
successful person in life when you are absolutely innocent and your are looking
after your innocence.
As I have told you, that innocence never gets destroyed. It can be covered by
your ill thoughts, by ill doing, it might be covered for the time being. But if
you can take out the clouds away from the sky of innocence, the whole thing
becomes so obvious that you have won the whole world. ......
To be
innocent – (child crying and Shri Mataji
says: “What’s the matter?) – so to be innocent, what do you do?
People will say, “Mother, what do we do to be innocent?” Firstly, you can see
for yourself how your mind works. What does it do? How it reacts. This is what
one has to watch, which I call as ‘introspection’. What sort of plans your mind
takes to? What does it think is the best? In that thinking, thought process,
what is the most important way to look at yourself? The first and the foremost
is that you should know how you react to someone. Is it an innocent reaction?
Or it is a vindictive reaction.
It is very easy to see yourself, because now you are all Sahaja
Yogi. You can see for yourself how is your reaction to any aggression on you,
or any kind of a trouble coming on you. How do you react to that? What is your
behaviour? If you are a very powerful person, then your behaviour is – for that
you are not bothered. You see for yourself its just a stupid thing people are
doing to you. Absolutely stupid. And when they are doing stupid things, why
should we bother about them? .......
In this
way we should know that we have to worship our innocence. I know sometimes one
feels that you are dominated because of that. Sometimes one feels sad that ‘Why
you are put to this kind of a treatment by others’. All kinds of things come to
your mind. But if you worship your innocence, then you will be always a happy
person, always a kind person, always be humble person. So, one has to be
careful. You are your own destroyer! You are the one who kills, you see (? – the sense seems to be
this). What do you say to Hitler? Hitler destroyed himself; who has
destroyed him? I mean in any way, everybody has to die so he would have been
dead. But who has destroyed it forever is himself. So, you kill yourself –
through this you can save yourself and become very glorified if you are
innocent. Have faith in the power of innocence.
What is important is, how you show in your own life the power of
innocence, how you behave towards each other, and that is what is what, is what
I call ‘the love’. You cannot be compassionate unless and until you have this
attitude towards yourself. You cannot be kind. Temporarily you might feel this,
but a permanently compassionate temperament comes only through the permanent
flowing of innocence through your character.
