*** 右脈修行途徑的危險 ***
人類的(追求)途徑有二：一是經由左脈，另外一個是經由右脈。在古印度有很多修行者住在叢林裡面，他們變成像(隱居的)聖人一般，但是他們是做右脈的苦行，即他們逐一來探索五個基本元素，來掌握這五個元素。當然毫無疑問的，在這五個元素中是有真理，你們都看過一支蠟燭如何來告訴你一些你內在的知識，如你是否被(亡魂)所附身(possessed)，一支燭火是可以告訴你這些資訊，這是難以想像的！燭火是如此聰明而擁有眾多知識，譬如你若有心臟的毛病，這燭火可以告訴你這個資訊(註一)，而且假如你(用燭火來)治療自己，你也可以療癒自己。所以燭火是如此的敏銳，不止它可以治療，而且它是有十足的能力，不單告訴你：你生病了、你有那些毛病，而且它有能力來療癒你。
這就為什麼在古代印度，Agni (譯者：指"火"這個基本元素)是被崇拜的，這個"光"及"火"都被崇拜，可以說光及火是首先被崇拜的。古印度人一定發現火是知道許多事情，古印度人知道這個事實，即這些基本元素有許多内在深層的覺知能力，這就是為什麼他們崇拜這些基本元素。所以在普祭之前，他們會邀請所有屬於這些元素的神祇來觀看他們的普祭。但是這條探索基本元素的途徑，最後變成一種走向右脈的活動。
若缺乏左脈，那麼右脈(的活動)會變成非常危險。當然假如你缺乏右脈，那也是非常危險的。但是首先你必須先發展你的左脈，在霎哈嘉裡我們就是從左脈開始。左脈是指慈悲(compassion)、愛(love)及一些普世共有的感覺，我們可以說這是來自女神的祝福.....。過去我教你們霎哈嘉瑜伽時，我就希望讓你們的左脈非常強壯。
古代那些從事右脈修行的人，會變成非常具攻擊性。他們可以操控五個元素的本質，當然這是ok的，但是他們(往往)是脾氣非常暴躁的人，他們甚至會詛咒他人，他們習慣用不和善的口吻來說話......。這些(古印度的)導師會詛咒別人，因為他們(內在)沒有慈悲、沒有愛，但是他們卻擁有右脈的力量。當今我們也看到那些有右脈力量、只用右脈的人、沒有任何虔誠奉獻(bhakti)、沒有上天的祝福的人，他們可能會變成惡魔(rakshasas)，可能會變成人類文明的一大威脅。
這是一個非常嚴重的事：經由你的智力、你的思考能力，人類的自我可以無限擴大，這最終會從内裡帶給人疾病，這問題發展到極致就是很多完全無法治癒的疾病......。這些人的注意力都是在外面，而不是放在他們自己，他們從未看到他們有什麼錯誤，而是總看到別人有什麼錯誤。他們是在爬一個非常可怕的右脈梯子，最終會帶給他們可怕的疾病，第一個就是血癌......。因為假如你沒有虔誠奉獻、沒有謙虛、沒有女神的祝福，那麼你可能發展出這些可怕的疾病，這些疾病不只會致命，也會對他人造成傷害。
所以走向右脈的途徑，人並不會升進，他可能會變成一個苦行者，他有能力詛咒他人，他可以給人麻煩，好像這是很大的力量，其實一點都不是！或許他不會被其他負面力量所欺壓，但結果是他自己的力量終結了他自己的生命！
所以當昆達里尼上升時，人最好去走左脈的途徑，不要去批評他人，不要講別人的壞話，而只是省查自己的內裡，看看自己有什麼問題。
說明：本譯文是此普祭談話的前段，下一篇譯文 "從左脈的完成到發揮右脈的力量" 才是此談話的重點。

Mataji在導師普祭(Guru Puja)的談話2002-07-21。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。
But, we had two types of journeys: one is through the left side or
another through the right side.
In India, I don’t know why, we had lots of people who went into
the jungles and became saints but they were doing right side tapasya. That is,
going into the five elements one after another; and mastering the five elements.
Of course there is truth in it, no doubt. You have seen how a candle… (loud
thunder clap and Mother pauses to smile)…how a candle tells you as to what is
your position inside: if you are possessed or if you are not, a candle can tell
you – can you imagine? Candle is so much knowledgable. Supposing you have a
heart, heart trouble – the candle will show. And if you treat yourself, you can
cure yourself. So, it is so sensitive not [only] that it can cure, but also so
competent, not [only] that it shows you that you are sick and you have problems
but that it is competent to cure you.
Thats why, in India, Agni was worshipped, this light was
worshipped, the fire was worshipped, that was worshipped first. They must have
discovered that the fire knows everything, so the inner, inner awareness of all
these elements, they knew about it and thats why they worshipped those
elements. So before the Puja they used to call all the Deities who belonged to
those elements to witness their Puja. But that turned out to be right sided
movement.
Without the left side right side is very dangerous. If you don’t
have right side of course it’s a big dangerous thing also. But first you must
have development of your left side. That is what, to begin with, we had in
Sahaja Yoga.
Left side is compassion, is love, universal feeling, or we can
say it’s the blessings of the Devi ...... And when I told you about Sahaja
Yoga, I wanted to make your left side very strong.
Those who, people who, took to right side became very aggressive
people, and they had mastered the essence of these five elements, that’s
alright. But they were extremely hot-tempered, so much so that they used to
curse people, curse them. They used to say things which were not kind;
......All these gurus used to curse a person, because they had no compassion,
no love, nothing but they had powers of the right side. But we have seen now
that those people who have right side, who go only on the right side without
the bhakti, without the blessings of the Divine, can become rakshasas actually,
can become a great danger for humanity.
This is a very serious thing: through your intelligence, through
your thinking power, your ego can go to any limit and create problems within
you. Now the ultimate of this problem is, we have seen is, are many diseases,
which are absolutely incurable. ...... Their
attention is outside, not on themselves. They never see what’s wrong with them,
but they always see what’s wrong with others. By doing that, you see, they are
climbing the ladder of a horrible right side, which can give you horrible
diseases. As I’ve told you, first is the blood cancer. ......
because if you don’t have that bhakti, that humility, that
blessings of the Goddess, you can develop all such horrible diseases which are
not only fatal, but also very injurious to others.
So by being right-sided you do not progress. You can become a
big ascetic, they call it, who can curse others, who can put them into
troubles, think that that is a great power – it is not! It is not at all.
Because, though you are not suppressed by other powers, negative powers, but
your own power takes your life.
So
Kundalini, when it is arisen, the best thing is to go to the left side, not
criticising others, not talking ill of others, but seeing within you, what’s
wrong.
