*** 有智慧的人生 ***
說明：這個在靜室(ashram)的對内談話提及許多，末段Shri Mataji談到有人因為讀拜倫(Lord Byron)的作品，而偏向左邊、整天哭泣等等。本譯文就是翻譯接下去的部分。
譯文：
一個人應該要有一種非常有智慧(wise)、有理性(sane)的生活態度，即：
人有一個永恆的生命，人是一個永恆的存在，人來到地球是為了享受所有上帝為人所準備的一切祝福，並不是為了傷心哭泣或是感到有罪惡感，這些並不是人應該去承擔的。這是最重要的一點，這種態度才是有智慧的。
再者，人也不要為了一些生活中的小事而把自己弄得十分可憐。譬如前幾天我聽到一個很可笑的故事：一位先生和他太太吵嘴，最終鬧到離婚，這位可憐的先生沒有地方住，就去他的兄弟的房子。他的嫂嫂是一個凡事非常挑剔的人，又養了三隻寵物。這位先生找不到任何位置來放攜帶來的箱子，因為他嫂嫂會說："不不不！不能放這裡！這個位置是給寵物的！"，這位無家可歸的先生將箱子放到另外一個位置，他嫂嫂又說："不不不！不能放那裡！有另外一隻寵物！"。(有些人)就是像這樣，成天為一些生活中不重要的小事擔心，這種生活態度也會衍生出"自我"(ego)的問題。人應該活在一種悠閒、少煩憂的人生，那些小事一點都不重要！但是這並不意味著懶惰、散漫的人生，絕對沒有這個含義！人生必須要認真辛苦工作，但要去享受人生，而不要陷在一些完全不重要的事或無用的事。
你的人生應該是去散播喜樂，所以為什麼去在乎這些小事呢？那些不是你人生的目的吧！

So one has to take a very, very wise and sane attitude
towards life: that you are the eternal life, that you are the eternal being and
you have come on this Earth to enjoy all the blessings that God has created for
you, and not for weeping and crying and feeling guilty. That’s not your job.
First thing is that. This is wisdom. And you are not going to make miserable
about small, small things of life also.
Like the other day I saw a very interesting story of a
husband [and] wife quarreling ending up into a divorce and poor husband had no
house so he went to his brother’s place. The brother’s wife was very particular
about everything. She had three pets, so he could not put the box anywhere
because she would say. “No no no no no! There’s another pet!” Like that. Again,
poor thing would leave the box, then, “No no no no no, not there! There’s
another pet.” Then another there. Like that, all the time worried about small,
small petty things of life. Also that can create a problem of ego-orientation.
Live in a very carefree manner. It’s not so important.
But that doesn’t mean laziness. I must tell you that doesn’t
mean LA–ZI–NESS! Spell it with capital letters, all of you! By any chance it
doesn’t mean that! It means hard work. But [to] enjoy it and not to be involved
into things which are of no importance at all, useless things.
Here it is joy spread for you so why are you bothered about
these things? They are not meant for you. Isn’t it? Ha!
