鬥爭期的祝福

*** 鬥爭期的祝福 ***

(人類歷史上有很多因宗教而來的仇恨、殺戮，不同的國家種族之間也有許多戰爭、屠殺)(註一)，但霎哈嘉的理念是：你愛所有的人，因為他們是人類。他們和你生在同一個時代，大家都必須互相幫助、彼此相愛。這是最重要的事！假如你可以發展出這一點，那你將會是非常非常強大的霎哈嘉瑜伽士，而且你會得到上天(Divine)的支持與祝福。假如你是擁有愛的特質，上天會幫助你來脫離所有的麻煩、災難與各種困難的處境，這是在鬥爭期(Kali Yuga，註二)特有的祝福，以前並不存在像這樣的祝福。

假如你是一個充滿愛的人，上天會出來幫你、會解決你的困難、會處罰那些給你麻煩的人。以我自己的經驗就是如此，我從未去做什麼，我從不咀咒任何人，我不去爭鬥，我不需大聲吼叫，但事情就會自動地成就，我甚至都不必告訴上天做什麼。上天有最偉大的人格特質，正是它來執行所有的公義。沒有人會在上天的愛及導引之下而受苦，這是我可以保證的！這就是鬥爭期的祝福！鬥爭期是非常可怕的，(這個時期的)人也很可怕，事實是如此。但是在這個時期上天變得非常警覺，它從未如此地保持警覺。假如耶穌基督是生在這個時代，祂絕對不會被釘上十字架，祂會被迫害只是因為祂沒有生在這鬥爭期。對我們(霎哈嘉練習者)而言，上天的警覺是一個很大的祝福，沒有人會被迫害，沒有人會被找麻煩。唯一的條件是你必須是一個謙虛的人，你必須是一個有良好品行、有非常愛他人的特質，只需要這樣！(若如此)，你將可以享受這個愛他人的特質，因為這特質你會得到上天的祝福，即上天無微不至的照顧。有許多練習者告訴我許多奇蹟，我一點都不訝異，因為我知道(在這個時代)上天對善良親切的人變得十分警覺，它會照顧他們、支持他們。它會做任何事(來幫他們)。上天在這個時期變得如此警覺，是令人十分驚訝。穆罕默德(在世時)受到許多苦難，(過去的)每一個聖人也遭受許多折磨，但是現在這個時代不會如此，霎哈嘉瑜伽士在這個時代是不會遭受這些苦難，我可以明確地保證！他們會被上天所照顧，各方面都會被照顧。

註一：在談此譯文的課題之前，Shri Mataji 先談到這些仇恨、戰爭。

註二：照Shri Mataji的說法，現代是鬥爭期(Kali Yuga)的尾端，之後將進入完滿期(Satya Yuga)，這兩個時期之間是過渡期(Krita Yuga, 或譯 "成就期")，所以也可以說這是過渡期的祝福，請見譯文："過渡期" ( https://sahajataiwan.blogspot.com/2017/01/kritayuga-shri-mataji-yogis-kritayuga.html )

The other side of it is Sahaja Yoga, in which you love all human beings because they’re human beings. They’re born with you in this time. You have to help each other and love each other. This is the main thing. If you can develop this, you’ll be very, very strong Sahaja Yogis and you will be supported and blessed by the Divine. Divine will help you and take you out of all troubles and tribulations and all kinds of difficulties, if you are a loving personality. This is what the blessing of Kali Yuga. It didn’t exist like this before.

Now, if you are a loving person, the Divine will go out of the way to help you, to sort out your problems, to punish those who are troubling you. I mean, it’s My own experience like that. I never do anything. I never curse anybody. I don’t fight. I don’t shout. Automatically, it works. I don’t even tell the Divine to do anything. The Divine is at the greatest, just personality, I should say. That is the one who does all the justice. Nobody can suffer under the guidance and love of Divine, take it from Me. This is the blessing of Kali Yuga. I agree Kali Yuga is horrible. People are horrible. This is that. But there’s one thing that this Divine has become very alert. It was never that alert. If Christ was born at this time, He could not have been crucified. It’s only because He was not born during Kali Yuga. That’s a very big blessing for us. Nobody can be tortured. Nobody can be troubled. Only thing, you have to be a humble person. You have to have a good character and you have to have a very loving personality. That’s all. You’ll enjoy the loving personality. You’ll get the blessings because [of] you’re loving personality. I mean, the way the Divine looks after you, there are so many miracles people tell Me. I’m not surprised because I know the Divine has become extremely alert towards human beings who are good and nice. It will look after. It will support. It will do everything. It’s very surprising that it has become so alert. Like Muahmmed-sahib suffered so much. Everybody suffered so much, but not now. Now the Sahaja Yogis won’t suffer. Take it from Me. They’re looked after by the Divine itself. Everything is looked after.

發揮右脈的力量全力來推廣霎哈嘉

*** 發揮右脈的力量全力來推廣霎哈嘉 ***

 

今日假如你環視周遭，幾乎各個地方都有戰爭、打鬥、殺戮、破壞在持續進行中，怎麼會如此呢？現在世上(不是)有這麼多(追求)靈性的人士嗎？原因在於這些靈性人士變得非常安靜、愛好和平，只享受他們的靈性生活，但是如此的行為取向並未給世界帶來和平。你們必須動起來，必須給世界帶來和平，你們必須為世界和平去做一些事。但是許多霎哈嘉練習者對我們的進展心滿意足，而不在乎外面世界那些人現在是如何、他們往那裡走去、我們如何可以找到他們、我們可以改變他們什麼......。靠我一個人，我改變了很多事，那你又改變了多少人呢？你做了那些事呢？你必須自己去看看！

你們(很多人)仍然活在額輪的自我之中，你們非常滿意自己的寧靜及你經由霎哈嘉所獲致的一切。這些已獲致相當靈性、達到相當高度的人們對改變外在世界都沒有些許的興趣，這是當今世界所面臨的最大不幸！他們只是在享受他們自己的靈性生活、參加普祭、不停地參加普祭，但是他們並未做任何轉化他人的集體工作。

你們應該利用右脈的力量，當你們使用右脈的力量，霎哈嘉就會有充滿活力的人，而不是只是那些沒用、有耐心、非常安靜、愛和平的練習者而已，這些(特質)不是霎哈嘉的目標，霎哈嘉的目標是要去改變、去轉化許多人。我的所有祝福都會賜與從事此工作的練習者，那些只是自己享受霎哈嘉的人並不是一件好事。你的國家中有多少人已學會霎哈嘉？你又將霎哈嘉帶給多少人呢？

 (假如你只是自己享受霎哈嘉)，那麼你的霎哈嘉並不是完整的瑜伽，而只是偏向左脈的部分瑜伽------你有愛心、和善等等。但是我的意思完全不是你要變成(右脈的)富有攻擊性的樣子，或是像有些人想當霎哈嘉負責人，或是想成為偉大重要的人物；而是指你給多少人自覺、你對多少人宣揚霎哈嘉。我是指搭飛機時、在大街小巷時，你都要對周遭的人談霎哈嘉。但是很多人只是用霎哈嘉來成就自己、來了解自己，這並不是為什麼霎哈嘉(此生)和你相遇的原因，霎哈嘉來到你生命純粹是為了給更多人自覺而已。

我請求所有較年輕、新的一代的練習者(註一)，不要將霎哈嘉的能量浪費在過去的人常做的一些沒意義的事情，你們最好是勇往直前，去和人們談論霎哈嘉、去傳播霎哈嘉。過去的人比較有興趣去辦學校、照顧貧困的人等等慈善事業，這不是你的任務，你的任務是去創造更多的霎哈嘉練習者。但是(很明顯)目前很多練習者並未如此做，即他們的右脈力量太缺乏了。你們應該走到右邊來，全力去傳播霎哈嘉。沒有什麼(不好的)事會發生在你身上，沒有人會騷擾你、逮捕你、殺害你，這是我可以保證的。你有許多大能(powers)，但是你卻不去用它們。

你現在不能變成偏向左邊的人，要以正確的認知來用你右脈的力量，用在正確的方向，而不是像希特勒那種專斷、支配他人的方式，我們霎哈嘉過去也曾出現這種像希特勒的人。現在這個時代已經來臨了，要讓你們來做出遠比以前的聖人更多的事情，你們要往此方向來進行，而不是將霎哈嘉侷限在你自己，只是去享受你有一個家庭、有很好的小孩等等，這不是霎哈嘉的目的，霎哈嘉是為了轉化全世界！你必須去想想：你目前都在做什麼、你處在那裡、你為霎哈嘉做了什麼貢獻？

許多練習者在額輪的位置就出了種種狀況，我不知道他們為何如此。在額輪我談到你們必須要原諒，但這並不表示你縱容人們去做壞事。有些人為了原諒，就很容易採取不要去抗爭、不要說什麼、不要去管閒事的途徑，就單單去原諒，這是完全錯誤的！你要去告訴那個(做錯事的)人，告訴他這是不對的，你必須站出來面對他。假如你不敢站出來，那麼你是没有用的人，和其他(霎哈嘉之外的)人沒有什麼差別，那麼你得到自覺又有什麼用處呢？

所以現在你們必須去了解到，不是你有能量、你的輪穴清潔、你可以治療他人等就可以了，不是這樣！你必須去傳播霎哈嘉，你必須走入群眾，在這點上你必須有(為世界上其他人設想的)集體性(註二)，即你必須去傳播霎哈嘉。現在我們在全球有不少練習者，但是我們的進展仍是有限。如今你應該去計劃你將如何去傳播霎哈嘉、你要做什麼、你要如何做，這才是重要的事。你們練習者是很擅長談論霎哈嘉、唱霎哈嘉的歌曲，但是除非你可以確實引進更多的人來霎哈嘉，否則這些都是沒有意義的。

 

說明：Shri Mataji對內的談話有一個特色，即在某一段時間會常談某一課題，可能在持續的三個月或半年內，不論什麼普祭皆會重複附帶提到此話題。而在2001年前後兩三年的談話中，Shri Mataji最常講的即是本譯文的這個課題，譯者挑其中特別有代表性的2002-06-23來翻譯。這可說是Shri Mataji的晚年最強調的課題之一，其中她甚至給集體性一個新的定義！

 註一：譯者：Shri Mataji 的意思可能並非指年輕的練習者，而是指所有的霎哈嘉練習者。相對於過去的聖人、善人，霎哈嘉是新的一代。

註二：譯者：Shri Mataji 的意思是只顧自己享受霎哈嘉的人是沒有集體性，要為世界上仍未得到自覺的人設想才是有集體性。

Collectively we have, if you see around now today, everywhere there’s war going on, fights going on, killing going on, destruction going on. How is it? There are so many spiritual people now on this world. So the reason is, the spiritual people have become very quiet, very much enjoying their spiritual life, have become very quiet and very peaceful people. But that doesn’t bring peace! You have to be dynamic and you have to bring peace in the world. You have to do something about it. And we are very much satisfied with our progress, but we are not bothered as to see what is the progress others have done, how far they have gone, where can we meet them, what can we change them. At My level I can change many things, but at your level how many people have you changed? What have you done?  That has to be seen.

Still you live with your ego, on the Agnya, and you are very happy with your peace, with everything you have got through Sahaja Yoga. This is the biggest calamity that the world is facing today, that those who are all so spiritual, those who have achieved great heights are least bothered as to what good has to be done. What they are doing is to enjoy their own spirituality, come to the puja, have more and more of it. But they have done no collective work to change people. ......

So now you should take to the Right Side. And when you take to the Right Side we’ll create dynamic people, not just some useless, patient, very quiet, peaceful people. This was not the aim of Sahaja Yoga. The aim of Sahaja Yoga is to change, change so many. And those who are doing that, all My blessings are with them. But those who are just keeping to themselves, it is not a very good thing. In your country how many people have got to Sahaja Yoga? Just find out. With how many people you have worked it out?

So yours is not a complete yoga, yours is a partial yoga of the Left Side, where you are very loving, you are very kind, very this thing. I am not saying that you should become aggressive in any way. But even I have seen people want to be leaders, they want to be something great, but how many people have they given realisation? How many people have they talked about Sahaja Yoga?

I have said even in the aeroplane also you go, you walk in the street, anywhere people talk about Sahaja Yoga. But here we are using Sahaja Yoga for our greatness, for our understanding of ourselves. This is not why Sahaja Yoga has been brought to you. It has been brought to you for giving realisations to many people.

I request all the younger people, younger generation, not to waste their Sahaj energies on nonsense as the old people have done. You better go ahead and talk to people about Sahaja Yoga, and spread the Sahaja Yoga. They are more interested in running schools, in looking after the destitutes, doing this, doing that. That’s not your job. Your job is to create more sahaja yogis, more sahaja yoginis. But that is not there, what I find is it’s not there. The Right Side is missing. You should come to the Right Side. Go all ahead. Nothing will happen to you. Nobody can kill you, nobody can disturb you, nobody can arrest you. Take it from Me! You have powers but if you don’t use them, you are like this. ......

Now you cannot become left-sided whatever you may try. So you use your Right Side in the right direction with the right understanding. Not as some sort of, I should say, very arbitrary or very dominating, like Hitlers. We have had also Hitlers among sahaja yogis! But now (laughing) the time has come for you to do something more than what the saints have done before. To work it out that way. Not to keep to yourself that you have a family, you have very nice children, having, enjoying, all that. That’s not [what] the Sahaja Yoga [is] for. Sahaja Yoga is for transforming the whole world. You have to think about it: What are you doing? Where are you? And what have you achieved out of Sahaja Yoga? ......

At Agnya Chakra many sahaja yogis falter, I don’t know what happens to them. At Agnya I have told that you must forgive but that doesn’t mean that you allow people to do wrong things. Because you want to forgive it’s very easy not to fight, not to say anything, just keep out, just forgive – no! You go and talk to that person and tell him it is wrong. You have to face it. If you cannot face it then you are useless, just like any other people. What’s the use of you people getting your realisation?

So now we have to understand that it’s not only that we have vibrations, that we are all right, that you can cure some people is the last word – no! You have to spread it, you have to go in the public, you have to be collective on this point and you have to spread Sahaja Yoga. With so many sahaja yogis all over the world we have not progressed much. So now it is you have to plan what you want to do, how you want to do it, and how you want to spread Sahaja Yoga. It’s very important. Because you people are good at, say, talking about Sahaja Yoga, singing about Sahaja Yoga; all these things are useless unless and until you have concrete proof of getting many more people in Sahaja Yoga.

錫呂瑪塔吉對西方醫學的看法

*** 錫呂瑪塔吉對西方醫學的看法 ***

西方醫學遺漏了(很重要的)一點，那即是在他們的醫學科學中，將人當成一個非常獨立的個體，而這個個體並沒有和整體(whole)有連結(註一)。其實人類是和整體有連結的，也因為如此，人類所有的問題、疾病也和整體有關連。我們不能只認為某病人只是有某一個疾病的人。這個有某一種疾病的人，其實很可能有很多其他的問題，但西方醫學中並未去探究其他很多的關連。譬如有一個(生理上)病得很嚴重的患者，他們(西方醫生)並不去探究這個病人的心理(mental，註二)狀態是否有問題，並不去了解病人是否只是單純的身體問題。

事實上，人的疾病大部分是來自身心都出問題(psychosomatic)，像癌症及愛滋病都是，它們都被(西方醫學)認為很困難、很難以治癒的疾病，它們都是因為和外界的關連，即和左脈(潛意識)世界的關連而產生的。

西方醫學只知道右脈的醫學知識，而且探究到非常細微的部分，但這是不必要的。(其實)西方醫學應該去了解人的左脈，但是他們目前對此部分是完全無知的。假如患者在左脈有一個毛病，那麼身心病的狀況就會產生。若患者只是斷了手，或其他單純的身體疾病，那麼西方醫學是可以應付。但是假如是一個複雜的、(同時涉及左右脈的)身心毛病，那麼西方醫生是無法治癒病人的。抱歉我只能說實話，因為西方醫學不知道另一側(譯者：指左脈)，不知道(左脈的問題)如何來影響病人，而使病人產生癌症。癌症在霎哈嘉是可以治癒的，假如是初期的癌症更是非常容易治癒的。縱使並非初期也可以治癒的，血癌尤其是確定可以治癒的。這些(西方醫學)無法醫治的疾病，往往就是左右兩脈毛病的組合才產生的。

左脈是屬於人的過去，換言之那些未來取向的人是不會有來自左脈的感染，但是那些活在左脈世界的人、有種種左脈擔憂的人、時常為自己難過的人，他們都容易有來自左脈的感染。或許你會驚訝到我如下所說的：那些偏左脈的人其實是被附身的(possessed)，被一些死去的亡魂(dead spirit)所附身。這可能發生在任何悲傷的人，或陷入左脈情緒狀態的人。此外，去找假導師(false gurus)的人亦可能如此，那些假導師會用所控制的亡魂來催眠人。左脈的毛病是和西方醫藥無關，但若西方醫生沒有這方面的知識，則是無法做任何治療的，或許他可以診斷，但他無法治癒那些身心病的患者。當代西方醫療的問題，即是他們無法治療身心病。

許多現代西方醫學無法治療的疾病都是來自左脈，西方醫學能治癒右脈的毛病。但是像癌症，他們只是將病症拖延而已，他們會開刀切除，但是癌症會擴散......，手術切除絕對不是徹底療癒的方法。假如你是一個霎哈嘉的專家，你不必做手術，你可以在一夕之間治癒癌症病人。相信我，你是有非常有能力做此事。

註一：譯者：Shri Mataji的意思應是指後文中提到的：人是和"外界"有關連。

註二：譯者：Shri Mataji的意思可能指左脈。

註四：江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji 對印度的西方醫生的說明2002-04-02，只翻譯談話中談及此話題的部分。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。

The missing point is this, that human beings are considered in the medical science as something very individual and not connected with the whole. We are all connected with the whole. But how to convince people that you are all connected with the whole and that you are not singled out? As we are connected with the whole all our problems are connected with the whole, you cannot just consider somebody as the patient of one thing and another patient of another thing, could be that one person who has one trouble, could be having so many other troubles, so many other connections which we do not locate in the western medical science. For example, to see a person medically very sick, may be, but you don’t know, what is his mental condition? What is he doing mentally? Is he all right mentally or only he is physically something wrong with him? ......

You’ll be amazed most of our diseases come from psychosomatic, like cancer, which are incurable mostly, cancer and we can say AIDS, all such which are supposed to be absolutely incurable and difficult, all that come with our connection, with our connection, which we are not sure of, with the left side. ...... We know only the right side medical science and that too in such details, it is not necessary, you must also know the left side of a human being and about left side we are absolutely not aware. ......

Now if you have a problem in the left side then problems psychosomatic can come in. Supposing, your hand is broken or is there some sort of a physical problem then it’s all right. But when it is the complicated psychosomatic trouble then doctors cannot cure it, I am sorry to say. Because you don’t know the other side of it, what is affecting the patient to get this cancer, you don’t know. You will be happy to know in Sahaja Yoga cancer is curable, curable if it is at a very early stage it’s very easy but otherwise also. Specially blood cancer is absolutely curable.

You will be amazed that it is such a combination of these two sides of our life, that we get into these diseases which are incurable.  ......

The left side belongs to our past, to our past in the sense that those people who are futuristic do not get affected by left side, but those people who live in the left side, are worried about their left side, are sorry for themselves, whatever it is, they are the ones who get affected. Left sided person if I tell you, you will be shocked to hear, is actually possessed. Possessed by some dead spirit which must be a knowledge to you. You may not be believing in it but it is. It can happen to anyone who gets sad or gets into the left sided temperament, also there are so many other things like these false gurus, what they do, they mesmerize, they mesmerize you with these dead spirits which they have to control. This side of, I should say, not medicine non-medicine, but whatever it is, should be known to the doctors; otherwise you cannot do any curing. You can, may be, diagnosis you might do. But you cannot cure people who are suffering from psychosomatic troubles. Today’s medical problem is that they cannot cure psychosomatic diseases. ......

So many diseases, incurable, you cannot cure, which are mostly coming from the left side. Medical science can cure the right side, I know that, that they can do it. But Cancer they will go on postponing from one to another, they’ll operate, then it will spread, then this and that. Operation is not the way to cure, it’s not. If you are expert in Sahaja Yoga, you don’t have to operate. Overnight you can cure, overnight you can cure cancer patient, believe Me. You are quite capable of doing that.

濕婆神與濕婆神的崇拜者(下)

*** 濕婆神與濕婆神的崇拜者(下) ***

當今有許多人的行為表現出他們不怕上帝，他們不怕濕婆神對他們的注目。或許他們不知道濕婆神一直在注意他們的一舉一動，祂眼睜睜看著每一個人，不論你是澳洲人、英國人或是印度人，也不論你屬於那一個宗教。這是每一個人都必須去了解的，一旦你知道這回事，你就會接受你必須做一個好人、符合正法的人。......尊崇濕婆神就表示尊崇所有好的、善的特質，包括慈悲、愛、寬恕及其他種種(的美德)。濕婆神只愛好人，祂只保護好人。

濕婆神會從很多方面來摧毀壞人，他可能會失去聲譽，他可能會失去健康，他可能會失去財富，這些都可能發生在他身上，直到這個人被徹底毀滅為止。

濕婆神總是穿很少很少的衣服，也沒有人知道祂吃什麼，沒有人知道祂有什麼願望或需求。一個很有音樂素養的人來到祂前面唱歌，祂欣然接受；一個魯莽的人在祂前面亂唱，祂也不介意。對祂而言這些都無所謂，祂不是那種音樂應是如何、每個音符都要正確、小心翼翼的那種人，祂不介意唱對或唱錯，祂是超越這些，祂是超越這些人類慣有的種種型式。祂是超越的，祂就是靈性(spirituality)本身，他是超越這些(表面的)東西。不論你是否是音樂家或藝術家或其他的人，祂都享受你的表演，祂是一個享受者。只要單純的、來自內心的演出，祂都會去享受，祂不是一個有制約的人，認為表演必須是現代的或應如何等等，祂沒有任何這些制約，祂不像那些注重型式細節、小心翼翼翼的人們。 ..... 假如你在心裡有任何的制約，那麼你不是一個濕婆神的虔誠崇拜者。(例如)穿著得體、像樣是重要的，但不應該有："假如你不這樣穿，那就違反流行、違反什麼......"的條件制約.....。

你們看濕婆神(的穿著)有什麼流行的形式嗎？你給祂什麼東西，祂都很高興。你給祂什麼，祂就吃什麼。祂是滿懷感激地接受一切，因為祂的特徵就是享受，祂代表的就是平安與喜樂。假如你是濕婆神的崇拜者，那麼你不應該有任何種類的制約。.....或許我們可以說濕婆神是最窮的人、最純潔的神，祂(幾乎)不穿任何衣服，祂只是和祂的身體在一起，(所以也不需要任何衣服)。祂正是享受(enjoyment)的化身，祂代表享受(enjoyment)及喜樂(joy)的完全型式。所以濕婆神的崇拜者的另外另一個特質應是享受，面對任何碰到的人或事，你應該都是充滿喜樂，如何做得到呢？唯一的方法即是要放棄人類愛批評的特質------愛批評他人的特質。譬如一個英國人到印度人的房子，他(可能會)說："我不喜歡這個房子！"，"你不喜歡(的部分是)什麼呢？"，"我不喜歡這個地毯！"。(同樣的)若一個美國人到英國人的房子，他(也可能)說："我不喜歡這個房子！"，這是非常常見的，所有人嘴上都掛著："我不喜歡這個"、"我不喜歡那個"。是誰在說："我不喜歡這個"或"我喜歡這個"呢？人們不了解當你如是說時，你正表現出你内裡沒有濕婆神原理。

那些視野狹隘的人才會有一大堆的喜歡與不喜歡。你們應該學習如何去欣賞及感激一切，你有多大的能耐來欣賞外在的一切，正說明你的靈性是有多高！

註一：Shri Mataji在此談話中談到有關濕婆神的種種，前後有一些重複，本譯文摘譯其中的片段。文長所以分成上下。請也參考另一相關譯文："濕婆神" ( https://sahajataiwan.blogspot.com/2017/11/ )

註二：江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji在Shri Shivaratri Puja的談話2002-03-17。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。

They behave in such a manner that they are not afraid of God, they are not afraid of His own attention on them. Perhaps they don’t know that they are under the attention of Shiva. He’s watching each and every person, whether you are Australian, English or Indian. Whatever religion you may follow, He’s watching them.
This is a thing one has to understand. And once you understand this, you will accept that you have to be good and dharmic people. ......

And to worship Him means to worship goodness. The goodness could be compassion, could be love, could be forgiveness, anything. He likes only good people, and He will protect only good people. ......

He destroys by many ways, by many ways. You can lose your reputation, you can lose your health, you can lose your wealth, everything can happen to you till you are completely finished and ..? ......

For example, Shiva is always with very few clothes, very few. And what does he eat? No-one knows. What is his desires and what does he want? No-one knows. A person with a great knowledge of music will sing before him, He’s alright. Or even any madcap comes and sings, He’s alright. For Him it doesn’t matter, He’s not meticulous about how the music is and what the notes are, whether it is alright or not, no. He is beyond all these things. He is beyond all these formalities that we have about everything, he is beyond. He is spirituality itself, he is beyond all these things. Whether you are a musician or you are an artist, whatever it is you are, He’ll enjoy. He’s the enjoyer, and He’ll enjoy – whatever is simple, whatever is given with the heart, He’ll enjoy. Whatever is expressed with the heart, He’ll enjoy. He is not a conditioned person, that it should be modern, it should be such and such. He is not conditioned. He doesn’t think that way like human beings who will sit down and make a meticulous everything, does it fit into it or not. ...... If you have any conditioning in your mind, then you are not a Shivabhakta. It’s all right, you should dress up well, you should do this … but you should not have conditioning that ‘If you don’t do that you are being out of cast, out of fashion, out of this …’. ......

What is the fashion of Shiva, tell me. Has He any fashions? Anything you give Him, He’s happy. Whatever you give Him, He eats that. He is full of such appreciation because He is personified as Joy. He is peace and He is joy. If you are worshippers of Shiva, then you should not have any conditioning of any kind. ...... So, we should know that Shiva is the poorest man, purest God. He doesn’t wear any alankaras, he doesn’t wear anything, just he lives with his own body. Because he is nothing but embodiment of enjoyment, nothing but complete form of enjoyment and joy.
So another quality of Shivabhakta* should be joy. You should be joyous about everything – whatever you see, whatever type of person you see. So the only way you can do, is give up human quality of criticism – to criticise others. Like if the English go into the Indian house, they say “We don’t like it.” “Yes, what, what you don’t like?” “We didn’t like the carpet.” ‘I don’t like it’ itself is against your Shakti. Then, if supposing an American goes to an English home, he’ll say, “I don’t like it.” It’s very common. All the people say “I don’t like it”, “I didn’t like that”. Who are you to say ‘I don’t like it’ or ‘I like it’. People don’t realise that by saying all these things, you are showing that you have no Shiva principle in you. ......

Likes and dislikes are only for people who have limited vision. You should learn to appreciate. Your power of appreciation will show how spiritually you are endowed.
