超越的生命------對求道者的公開演講

*** 超越的生命------對求道者的公開演講 ***

說明：Shri Mataji在全球推廣霎哈嘉是從英國開始，當時(1970年代)英國有許多求道者，但是很多人都誤入歧途，成為嬉皮或吃迷幻藥或學一些奇奇怪怪的功法。這個介紹會就是針對這些人。

譯文：

你們都來到(霎哈嘉介紹)會場，因為你們有一種感覺，感到你們必須去找尋超越生命的重要東西。這種感覺其實是來自(大我的)無意識的心智(註一)，所以你們想去發掘這些重要的東西。或許你們也不知道你們是要追尋什麼，只是感覺到你們目前並不是處在完美的狀態，即你們並不知道什麼是你的圓滿，你只是在追尋你的圓滿。

霎哈嘉是一個必須以謹慎心思來了解的對象，它不是隨隨便便的東西，不是外面那些胡亂宣稱可以找到上帝的東西，但是人類也無法自己來研究發明就獲得霎哈嘉。這樣說來好像人們很難去了解霎哈嘉，但是你們只要想想，你們成為人類也沒有經過什麼努力，你的鼻子不需要黏膠就自然附在臉上，你也不必練習倒立或做什麼艱難的動作，你就成為人類。同樣的，假如你必須成為更進化的存有，這也會是以自然而然的方式來完成，這可以說是上帝的恩典，所以它是自然而然的。這對人類而言是很難去了解及接受，因為人們是非常的自以為是，上帝是給予人們一個"自我"(ego)來決定是要選擇正途或是歧路。

我另有一項說明，學霎哈嘉與否是你的決定，這是讓你獲益而不是讓我獲益，我從頭到尾都沒有什麼利益，你可以經由接受這些真正知識的禮物，而從我這邊獲取一些益處，這些是你無法以付錢給我或購買或強制我的方式來獲得的  ......。首先你要知道，這是一個會在我們内裡自然而然發生的，即我們無法靠自己的研究發明來做到。或許有些其他法門的人會告訴你他可以教你，你靠自己就可以達成，但是我不願意這樣來欺騙你，你確實是無法自己來做此事。......

就如同一顆種子發芽，長出根及幼苗，然後長成一棵樹，然後開花......。同樣的，在人類的成長演化過程，也有一張(類似的)地圖，必然有一些力量會使這個過程一步一步往前推演。畢竟上帝從一個微小的阿米巴原蟲一路演化創造出人類，祂是不會來毀壞祂的創作，祂也不會將這個演化留給人類自行處理，這往前的演化是會自然而然來發生完成。......

在我們的内裡有一個自動的神經系統，人類的科學已經知道這個系統會自行運作，而且知道這個系統有兩個部分：副交感神經和交感神經。就如這圖所表示的有三個管道，中間的中脈就是副交感神經，左邊的左脈就是左交感神經，右脈就是右交感神經。這三脈是外面種種表現的內在能量流，我們在外面看到的種種，都有一些重要內在的運作來達成這些外在的表現。例如一盞燈會發亮，你就知道一定有電流從某處來，就是這個源頭使燈泡發亮。將這個源頭切斷，燈就不會亮。同樣的，這三個自動神經系統的源頭就是這三脈，它們是內在的精微面，它們是一種能量的形式。如同我們看不見電流一般，我們很難看到這些能量，我們是無法看見內裡的三脈。昆達里尼就是我們內在發芽成長的力量，它住在三角骨內，當它自行上升時，你就可以知道這內在的能量上升的移動，你也可以用聽診器來感覺到它(的移動)，你(甚至肉眼)可以看到昆達里尼的跳動。這是你自己無法做到的，縱使盡你所能，無論是跳一百下，或是做倒立，或弄斷你的脖子，做任何你能做到的，你都無法使三角骨(內的昆達里尼)跳動。......

人類無法做自己的演化，人無法做到這一點，上帝已經為人們做好安排。是人類將習以為常的眼睛放在臉上這個位置嗎？不！是上帝創造了眼睛、將它放在這個眼窩之中，然後人們來使用眼睛！人只能使用眼睛，並無法創造出它。......

昆達里尼上升時會經過我們內在這些輪穴，這些輪穴是人類演化的里程碑，即從阿米巴原蟲到今天人類的過程中的不同階段(的里程碑)。當昆達里尼上升經過這些輪穴時，你用聽診器可以聽到這些輪穴的脈動，這是一種非碰撞的聲音，當它抵達頭頂並突破頭頂時，你也可以聽到這聲音。

許多求道者並不了解他們付錢所學的毫無意義的東西，但是他們卻持續一直(認真)練習，為什麼要去浪費時間呢？只是因為你付了錢嗎？我建議你們應該要去認識內在的自己和你的力量，而不是被他人的力量所迷惑。你內在有你自己的力量，這些力量應該要被展現出來，而且你應該要能掌控這些力量，而不是被他人所掌控。從這裡到那裡跳來跳去、突然(不自主)大吼大叫，你自己都無法控制自己，這不是很奇怪嗎？任何的功法都應該表示你有能力來控制這些力量，假如你無法控制這些力量，那叫什麼功法呢？假如你去觸碰通電的電線，你會被電一下、抖動一下，你可以稱摸電線、觸電抖動也是一種功法嗎？(這和那些人莫名其妙的跳、叫，有何不同呢？) 這不是一種簡單的基本常識嗎？你無法掌控的力量並不是你自己的力量，假如這是你自己的力量，你應該可以掌控它，你應該知道你在做什麼。那些會讓你叫、讓你跳的功法，不論它叫什麼，都不是你自己的力量。你在你的心臟有你自己的力量，因為你的靈(Spirit)就住在這裡，靈才是你的真我(Atma)，唯一你要做的是如何來照亮它。......

人類演化的最後突破就是要藉著喚醒昆達里尼，來穿透我們的囟門骨頭，這是最後的一步，人類的內在已有準備齊全的工具。昆達里尼就如同弦一樣，它捲成三圈半，在三角骨内已等待好一段時間，當一個有被認可的人前來提升你的昆達里尼，你就可以完成這(和外界無所不在力量的)連結......。經由此你將會得到一種轉換，你也會有另外一個向度的覺知能力，即你的覺知會跨入另外一個領域------集體意識(collective consciousness)。什麼是集體意識呢？就是你可以感知"他人"，因為當你是大我的一部份時，你再也沒有"他人"了，你所的追尋正是和大我全體合而為一，一旦這發生了( 譯者：即你連結上了)，你將可以感知大我全體，即你將會驚訝到你可以在你内裡感知其他人。當昆達里尼從囟門出去、融入那無所不在的精微力量時，你內在所有的輪穴都會被喚醒照亮，你就可以在你的雙手上感覺你自己輪穴的阻塞，也可以開始感覺他人輪穴的阻塞狀況，即自動會如此。即你主觀上你會有這些知識(譯者：知道自己及他人的輪穴)，這並不是客觀觀察得到的，即你變成一個感知的主體。這些自動會在你内裡發展出來，你不用去想像將如何來獲得此能力。就如同其他目前已有的覺知能力一樣，它是自然地獲得及運作，你的此項超人類的覺知能力也是因上帝的恩典而獲得的。......所以請試著去了解你內在有一個力量，上帝已將它放在那裡，它將會被提升上來，如此你就會獲得你的自覺(realization)。......

人類的任何疾病都可以被治療，甚至包括癌症，但是人類的愚笨是難以醫治的。人的愚笨是如此一件可笑的事，沒有人願意承認他是愚笨的。人往往只是愚笨地繼續做那些錯誤的功法，愚笨地想毀滅自己，甚至有一種幻覺以為他自己是偉大的聖戰士或殉道士。你是要進入上帝的王國，沒有必要去當殉道士。在這個王國外面有一個歡迎的牌子 "歡迎你進來！"。但是我發現的是：到處都是因求道而受傷的人，許多人甚至受傷嚴重。這也無妨！只要你愛你自己、愛你永恆的存有，只要你有心想向上進化，那麼事情一定會成就的。

註一：Shri Mataji所謂的無意識心智(unconscious mind)，指的是一般人在自覺之前無法知道、意識到的，即是超越的意識(superconsciousness)。

註二：江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji在倫敦的公開演講1979-06-25。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。

You’re all here, because we had a feeling that there is something that lies beyond which we have to seek. The feeling has come from the unconscious mind and you all want to find out something. Perhaps you do not know what you want to find out but the feeling is there that, whatever you are, you are not in a perfect condition. That you do not know what is your fulfillment. You’re seeking actually your fulfillment.

Now when I am talking to you about Sahaja Yoga I have to request you that, this subject is to be understood with careful thought. It’s not a frivolous thing, that you can get to God. Neither it is possible for any human being to achieve it himself. This makes it impossible for people to understand but as I have told you before, you have become a human being without doing anything about it. You got your nose stuck up there without using any glue, without doing any exercise or circus. In the same way if you have to become that higher being, it has to happen spontaneous manner. In a very spontaneous manner by the grace of God. This is something very difficult to digest for human beings because we are ego oriented.
God has given us ego to decide whether we choose the righteousness or we choose the wrong path.

Now I would again request you for one more thing, that it is for you to choose and it is for you to gain and not Me. I have nothing to gain to begin with and to end with. You have to gain something out of Me by not demanding but by accepting the gift of this knowledge for which you cannot pay me, you cannot purchase me, you cannot dominate me.  ......

To begin, we must know that it is a spontaneous happening within us. That means we cannot do it. There are people who may teach you, who may tell you that you can do it but I am not going to tell you a lie. You cannot do it. ......

Like a seed sprouts into its root and shoot, then grows into a tree and then flowers, everything that happens to the tree has a meaning in the living process. If your evolution has to be living, it must have a history behind it, where all the incarnations came in and have left some mark within you. And as in a seed, you have the map of all the manifestations it is going to go through, in the same way in your seed of germination also there has to be a mark (map?). There has to be some power that is going to work it out. After all God has created you from a small amoeba to human being and He’s not going to destroy this creation of His and He’s not going to leave it to you, to get to your way. As I, the other day was telling you, that all that is important has to work out spontaneously. ......

Within ourselves there is a nervous system and there is an autonomous nervous system ...... It has been found out by your sciences that there is a system which works by itself which has two sides; one is the parasympathetic and the another, the sympathetic. Now here, what I’m showing these three lines are representing, in the center, the parasympathetic nervous system, on the left, the left sympathetic and on the right, the right sympathetic. But these are the undercurrents of the actual manifestation of the gross. In the gross whatever you see has something behind it which works it out. For example, if there is a light burning here you must know that the electricity is coming from somewhere and there is a source somewhere which works it out. If the source is cut out this will go. In the same way, the source of these three autonomous nervous system within us are these channels which are subtle within us and they exist as energies. It is hard to see these energies because as you cannot see electricity, you cannot see these three channels which are within us. But the kundalini which is the germinating power within us, in the triangular bone, when it raises itself, then you can see the movement of this energy rising within you and you can feel it also with the stethoscope. You can see the pulsation of the kundalini.. This you cannot do. Try your level best. Jump for 100 times or stand on your heads, break your neck. Do anything you like. You cannot make your triangular bone pulsate. Can you? Anyone one of you, can you do it? ...... That you cannot do your own evolution. You cannot achieve it. God has made all the arrangements for you. Have you placed your eyes here which you’re using and have taken for granted? God has made them. He has placed them in the sockets and you are using them. You can only use it. You cannot do it. ......

This kundalini rises through various centers that are within us. These centers are the landmarks of our evolution, in different stages, from amoeba to this stage. ...... These centers exist within you and which you can feel it with the stethoscope when the kundalini is rising. They pulsate. ...... The sound without percussion. You can hear it. You can hear it on top of your head when it comes to and it breaks. ......

Hardly you’ve understood anything from all these things that you’ve been doing and still you are continuing with it. I have to request you, now get to yourself and get to know yourself and your own powers and do not be enamored by anybody’s powers, even Mine. You have your own powers within yourself and these powers must be manifested and these powers you should be able to handle and not that you are handled by somebody else all the time. Jog from places to places. Suddenly you find somebody shouting in the air. Without any control over? How can it be? You see the technique means, any technique means that you should be able to handle that power, isn’t it? If you cannot handle that power what sort of a technique is this? Supposing you go and touch the wire and you get a shock, then is that the technique? Will you call that the technique you got a shock from the wire? But if you know how to handle the technique then you know how to maneuver it. Is a simple common sense which we must know. The power which we cannot handle is not our own power. If it is your own power then you should be able to handle it. You should be able to know what your doing about it. So these are not your powers whatever so called techniques have brought to you. You have your own power in your heart as the Spirit is within you. Only thing it is to be enlightened. ......

Now the last breakthrough of our evolution is where we break our fontanelle bone by the awakening of the kundalini. This is the last. We’ve got all our instrument properly done. The chord is nicely, just like this chord, is nicely rounded up three and a half times, kept there ready, for a moment, when somebody who’s an authority comes forward and gives you that connection. You have to breakthrough. And this is the breakthrough when, will happen then, you must know that the whole language will change. You will have a transformation and you will have a new dimension. ...... That the next step into human awareness has to be collective consciousness. Is a scientific thing. Already your sciences have discovered this collective consciousness. And what is collective consciousness? Is, to feel the other. For there is nobody the other. You are a part of the whole. You’re seeking that wholesomeness within you and once this will happen you will feel that wholesomeness and you’ll be amazed how will be feeling others within you. All these centers are in our fingers as shown there. There are 7 centers which are shown here and which you can also see in the map. All these centers get enlightened as soon as the kundalini goes out of the fontanelle and goes into the all pervading subtle power. You can feel it on your hands – what is wrong with you and what is wrong with others. You start feeling your own centers and you start feeling the centers of other people. Automatically. It’s a subjective knowledge it is not objective. You just become the subject. It just happens automatically within you. You don’t have to think about it. It just works out as your human awareness has been achieved. In the same way super human being awareness also can be achieved through God’s grace. ......So try to understand that there is a power within you. God has placed it there and it is going to be raised and you’re going to get that realization ......

You can treat any disease, cancer anything but not stupidity. Stupidity is something, is such a foolish thing that nobody wants to admit that you have been stupid. You want to carry on with it and you want to destroy yourself under the fantasy that you’re a great crusader or sort of a great martyr! There is no need to have martyrdom when you’re entering into the kingdom of God. Come along. There’s a welcome there. It’s a welcome for you. Please come along but I find all wounded soldiers around. All of them are so wounded. Doesn’t matter. As long as, you have love for yourself and love for your eternal being, as long as you want to evolve, everything is going to work out.
