愚笨的妻子才會宰制丈夫

*** 愚笨的妻子才會宰制丈夫  ***

 

有些婦女很會宰制丈夫，說穿了就是愚笨。婚姻應該是(如你們所說的)蜜月(honeymoon)，甜蜜(honey)應是婚姻的核心本質，而moon代表的是安祥與和諧(peace)。假如妻子是愛爭吵、愛爭鬥、喜歡冷言冷語諷刺 ，這種婚姻對男人而言就如同地獄一般。相反來說，假如妻子了解婚姻的核心本質是甜蜜，她應該知道如何去讓她的丈夫高興，知道如何將祥和帶到家庭裡。

如何去取悅丈夫呢？對自覺的靈而言，這只需要一點小技巧。首先要去發掘妳的丈夫喜歡什麼，以我為例，我的先生(婚後)告訴我："你頭髮上不應當插花，我不喜歡女人在頭上插花"，雖然在這個Maharashtra地區所有已婚的婦女都在頭上插花，但是從他講的那一天開始，我從未在頭上插花，這有什麼關係呢，插不插花一點都不重要。然後他又說："你應該掛手環"，因為他來自一個非常傳統的家庭，(婦女都穿戴許多手環)，從此之後我都一直戴著手環。戴手環會讓他高興那就戴手環，這有什麼關係呢？ 當你在小事上取悅丈夫，他就會開始想我應當為我太太做什麼，所以這種良性循環應該從妻子開始，而不是等妳的丈夫來開始，因為婦女的責任就是在社會(及在家庭 )，但西方文化並沒有告訴人你的責任是什麼。男人的責任是在經濟、政治、賺錢等，雖然他們將這些都弄得一蹋糊塗，但女人的工作與責任是在社會，所以首先你必須知道如何讓小孩子高興、讓丈夫高興、如何幫助他們、接近他們。假如妳不是這樣做，而是隨時去掌控宰制，那就不對了，因為妳的工作不是去掌控，妳的工作是要去中和男人的掌控，用小小的技巧去中和他。

我舉一個我的例子，我的丈夫辦公室有一位優秀的下屬跳槽到其他公司，他為了高薪而跳槽，之後他發覺那個公司不好，他又想回來，我的丈夫有他堅持的原則，他拒絕了這位下屬，將他趕走。那位下屬就來找我、拜託我，我從來不干預我丈夫辦公室的事務。他拜託我說："假如妳代我求情，妳丈夫可能會聽進去"，我答道："假如我告訴他，他一定不會答應，但我知道如何做"。之後我告訴我丈夫那位下屬來拜訪過，他說："哈哈！他找對人了！那麼妳現在要開始給我麻煩了嗎？"，我說："不！不！我不會去管你的事，但是你只需要想一下他為什麼來找我？"，"為什麼？"，"因為他認為我比你寬容大方"，"什麼！！"。結果那位下屬就回到我丈夫的辦公室工作了。(後來)那位下屬是我丈夫的好朋友，也幫他很多。

所以當妳認為妳必須影響妳先生時，最好是用一些好的技巧。只有在一些重要的原則上，妳才可以嚴肅強硬，但在一些小事上，若妳也要宰制妳先生，那就完全錯了！妳的結婚是為了展示妳的愚笨，還是要享受甜蜜與和諧呢？西方世界的婦女，尤其是義大利、英國，是帶給我們的配婚很大的困擾，我已將她們排斥在配婚之外，因為我對她們無能為力。

男人並不期望妻子是揮著馬鞭，騎在他頭上來指揮他。男人為什麼要結婚呢？是為了享受來自女人的快樂、喜悦及甜蜜！我為什麼要特別談這個話題呢？因為現在有許多女人認為她們很了不起，她們有錢、有工作。但她們的首要工作應該是讓社會家庭快樂、讓丈夫快樂。假如一個妻子無法讓她的丈夫快樂，那麼她不是一個好的霎哈嘉練習者，她對我們沒有任何好處。假如她無法為她的丈夫設想，那麼她就不應該結婚。她可以不結婚，而去做她喜歡的事。我當然也看了那些電影，那些羅曼蒂克的電影，那些情節從未在現實發生，沒有人會像那樣子，那些都是荒謬(不存在)的，難道你要期待妳的丈夫是克拉克蓋博(Clark Gable，譯者：美國知名影星)，婚姻不是那樣子。妳必須去愛，妳首先必須將妳的丈夫放入妳的心，這是妳的職責，不然妳的責任是什麼？

男人是很簡單的，但妳必須去了解他們。他們有時候會生氣，這沒有什麼大不了。事實上有時他們對外面的人不滿，回家將怒氣發到妳身上而已，但這至少比在外生氣而挨他人揍來得好。假如妳了解男人的一些點，那就很容易駕輕就熟、遊刃有餘。當然我不是說那種很卑劣、令人難以忍受的丈夫，所以在霎哈嘉我們是容許離婚的。

我的左臍輪一直給我痛苦，因為集體的左臍輪不是很好，這是因為有不少女練習者不是很好的家庭主婦。

註一：這個話題是Shri Mataji常講到的，Shri Mataji基本上認為妻子是先生的力量(Shakti)，也是維持一個家庭的核心力量，唯有有母愛呵護、管教的小孩才能成為正常、有道德的好公民，這是男人做不到的，因為男人天生沒有這些特質。這也是婦女的天職與神聖的使命，若女人放棄此責任，只忙和男人爭平等、比高下，整個社會將會衰敗。請也參閱另一譯文：明辨力與臍輪(Nabhi Chakra)(之三)(  http://sahajataiwan.blogspot.com/2017/02/nabhi-chakra-gruha-lakshmi-alertness.html  )

I wanted to talk to people who are married in Sahaja Yoga, especially to the ladies.

I think some of them are extremely dominating and stupid. What is marriage? Marriage is honeymoon as they call it.

Honey is the essence and moon is the peace.

Now if the women are quarrelsome, fighting, sarcastic, it is absolutely a hell for man.

Instead of that, if woman knows the essence, the honey, she should know how to please the husband, to bring peace in the family. Now some of the husbands are drunkards or anything – not in Sahaja Yoga. What pleases the husband? You see, in a way, it’s a trick. It’s a trick of a realized soul, how to please others. What do we do to our husbands?

Do we try to please? First of all find out what he likes. My husband, I would say – he’s gone away, thank God – he used to say, “You shouldn’t wear any flower in your head.” But in Maharashtra all the married women are supposed to wear flowers.

Since that day I have never worn any flower in My head. It’s all right, doesn’t matter, he didn’t know what I was, so he said, “Don’t wear any flowers, I don’t like”

Then he said, “You must wear bangles” because he comes from a very traditional family. All My life I have worn bangles. It pleases him, what’s the matter?

Little, little things you do just to please him, then he also starts thinking, “See, what should I do for My wife?”. But first it must start from woman, not from man, because women are responsible for the society.

In the western culture they had not told what is their job is.

Man’s job is economics, politics, money earning. They have made a mess out of it, I agree with you (Laughter). It’s quite a big mess (Shri Mataji laughs). But your job is to make the society. And to make the society, first you must know how to keep children pleased, how to keep your husband pleased, how to help and be close to them (Unclear).

On the contrary, if you try all the time to dominate, that’s not your job to dominate at all. Your job is to make neutralize his domination by simple, simple things.

I’ll give you an example. Thank God he is not here! (Laughter, Shri Mataji laughs)

He knows, he knows I’m very, I am very clever in certain things. In his office he had a gentleman. I never used to interfere with his office. But there was one gentleman, good one, who gave up his organization and joined another one because it was a private one, he was getting more money, so he joined that. But there he found it was horrible, so he wanted to come back to Shipping Corporation. But My husband is very particular about rules and regulations. He said, “No, no, no, now I won’t have you, I don’t want to see your face, get out”, this thing, that (thing).

So he came to Me. Normally, I never interfere. He came to Me and he said, “If You tell him he might listen.” I said, “No, if I tell him he will never listen. But I know how to do it.”

(Laughter)

So I told him that this gentleman came to see Me. “Ha, so he’s come to the right person, now are you going to trouble me about it?”

I said, “No, no, no, not Me, but just think why he came to Me.”

He said, “Why?” “Because he thinks I’m more generous than you are.” Immediately this competition. (Laughter, Shri Mataji laughs) And that fellow got the job, he was a great friend of his, even in London he was helping him a lot.

So, when we think that we have to control our husband, it’s better to do it in a very simple way. Only on fundamentals you can put down your foot. Otherwise for small, small things, if you go on dominating your husband I tell you, you will miss the point. You have married for stupidity or for honeymoon?

And in the West, especially in Italy, we have had very bad experiences of women.

English also, I must say. English girls also have given Me lot of trouble.

I mean, they are banned now, because I can’t help it.  ..........

Man doesn’t want a wife to be on the horse and beating with a whip. Why has he married? For the happiness, for the joy, for the sweetness of a woman. It’s a very important thing I wanted to talk because so many of women are thinking that they are something great. Some of them have some money, some of them have some jobs, but first job is to keep the society very happy and to keep your husband happy – is the first job. If a woman cannot keep the husband happy, she is no good for us.

She is no good Sahaja Yogini.    ............

In the same way a woman has to think about the husband, in a very kindly manner, because this is her job, this is why she is marrying.

Otherwise she should not marry, she can do what she likes.    .........

I’ve seen also in the films, you see all romantic scenes going on – it never happens, there’s nobody is like that, you see, it’s all absurd things you see, so you expect them to be Clark Gable or somebody, it’s not so. (Laughter)

You have to love, you have to take your husband into your heart first. This is your duty, otherwise what else are you doing?    .........

I tell you, men are very simple, but you have to understand. Sometimes they get angry, doesn’t matter. Actually, if they are angry with somebody else, they will come and put it on you. It’s better, because if they do anything to others, they’ll beat them. You are not going to beat (them).

If you understand few things about men, it can work out. Of course, some are very miserable husbands, I know, and some miserable wives – for them we have divorce allowed in our Sahaja Yoga, we have divorce for them.

So that is the thing I wanted to tell you, that you should make a very good housewife, a very good Gruha Laxmi.

Now, why I am telling you this, that I am suffering from Gruha Laxmi’s chakra, and all the doctors have told Me it is because in the collective Gruha Laxmis are not all right, because they are not good housewives.

從自由與智慧談到美國

*** 從自由與智慧談到美國  ***

錫呂羅摩(Shri Rama)規定了許多紀律，讓人類在昇進的道路上有所依循。這在當時是有功效的，但人們也變得太過有紀律、太僵化，以至於人們後來喪失了和真理的連結。這些修行人可能會離棄他們的妻子，或對妻子不好，或以錫呂羅摩之名做種種(不對)的事情，因為人類往往就是如此走到錯誤的途徑。

這就是為什麼在錫呂羅摩2000年之後，錫呂克里希納(Shri Krishna)降世了(註一)。降世神祇往往再度來到人間，只為了糾正祂先前在人間造成的問題，錫呂克里希納的來世也是如此。所以祂帶來一種新的轉向，即一種新的生活態度。祂談到自由，談到縱情奔放(abandonment)，祂談到生命是為了享受等概念。在祂的觀念中，享受生命才是最好的生活方式，這就為什麼祂說人們應該去玩粉彩遊戲(Holi)，應該要盡情享受，應該去跳團體舞蹈的Raas等等。所以人們開始認為這才是活著的正確方式，要有完全的自由，要過你所喜歡的生活。人們認為要享受生命就應該完全的縱情奔放、沒有任何紀律、沒有任何約束，你可以任意休妻八次、休夫十次等等。這種想法其實在歷史上早已有之，但是在今日的美國才正式發揚光大。

在這種想法之下，人們忘記了另一件事：太初之母是先創造了錫呂格涅沙(Shri Ganesha)，祂是智慧的來源，也是吉祥的來源。經由祂，人類才能了解什麼是吉祥。假如沒有智慧，這種縱情奔放的行為是非常帶有毀滅性的。所以人必須先建立內裡的智慧，但是這些人在過這種生活之前並未先思考過：自己是否有足夠的智慧？是否有能力在未發展出智慧之前過這種生活呢？

當自由成為生活中的唯一標準，最糟糕的情況即是人們變得極端的霸道及有很大的自我，最常聽到的直接回嗆即是："這有什麼不對？"(What's wrong?)。

你問他們："為何做這樣的事？"，

"這有什麼不對呢？"，

"我想這是不對的，因為這樣做是不吉祥的。"，

"什麼是吉祥呢？"。

你可以說他們是沒有大腦的，即沒有智慧。在這種完全自由、縱情奔放之下，生命就開始走向毀滅的道路，而且是沒有回頭路的。任何的汚穢不祥都被當成祝福來接受，而且沒有人覺得這是錯的，人類的生命不應該是如此，甚至連動物也不會去做這些汚穢、不吉祥的行為。

在這些種種愚笨的行為上，又加上的另一個大災難，那就是飲酒這一項。此外在提倡自由之下，娼妓文化(譯者：指婚外性行為的氾濫)進入了婚姻體系。

當這個沒有智慧的自由繼續成長，開始創造出一個可怕的自我。當人們放棄了吉祥，錫呂格涅沙就進入休眠狀態，內在的基督也不管你去做什麼，當基督的管制不在，這個自我認為他完全自由了，這個自我並不曉得它連結著各種可怕的敵人。人類的大敵，不論是錫呂克里希納講的"憤怒"，或我認為當代人類的大敵"貪婪"及"忌妒"全部出籠了。就以貪婪來說，或許我們應該說貪婪已無法形容某些人的行為，例如一個人擁有三千雙鞋子，這恐怕不只是貪婪，而是瘋了吧！在貪婪之下我們無法預知人類的行為，也沒有人可以合理解釋人類的行為。

當所有的觀念與想法都從自我出發，自我開始告訴你用什麼方法可以賺多少錢，當你開始賺錢之後，這個自我先生又開始告訴你如何花錢、如何用錢來毀滅自己。人們有錢之後會做種種可怕的事，錢會帶你到各種錯誤的地方，錢變得像惡魔一樣來毀滅你。而這個自我卻讓你感覺你是完美的、你無所不知、你做的都是最好的。

錫呂克里希納是財富之神，所以在這個錫呂克里希納的國家(譯者：指美國)是會充滿錢，但是我們也發現全世界最可怕的事都發生在美國，我們可以說在愚笨、庸俗沒教養、下流淫穢、剝削榨取等各方面，沒有任何國家可以比得上美國。或許這是錢在人類身上的詛咒，人類應了解到沒有智慧的自由是最危險的，(人類和動物最大的差別在人類被授予了自由意志)，如果沒有智慧，那寧可像動物一樣沒有自由。

註一：錫呂毗濕奴(Vishnu)先降世為錫呂羅摩，之後再度降世為錫呂克里希納。

註二：江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji在紐約的錫呂克里希納普祭(Shri Krishna Puja)談話1997-06-08。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。

Shri Krishna’s time was, as you know, at least two thousand after Shri Rama. And Shri Rama created lots of disciplines for human beings to follow in the path of their ascent. According to the time everything works out. So people were extremely rigid, disciplined, and it so happened that people lost the touch with the truth. They would leave their wives, ill-treat their wives, do all kinds of things in the name of Shri Rama; because always human beings take to something which is not right. The another side they never saw, how Rama went after Sitaji to find Her, and He fought the horrible rakshasa Ravana to get back His wife. So the other side people never see. Only this side they saw that He was very strict with His wife, and if the wife stayed over in some function He got so angry, and He shouted at Her and He threw Her out, and all those things.

That is how Shri Krishna came in. Always incarnations come one after another to correct themselves only. When Shri Krishna found that it is on the other side, of ego – that men thought they were very powerful people and they could do whatever they liked, and they had all the power to judge their wives – so Shri Krishna came with a new diversion, or I should say, from a new idea about life. He talked of freedom, He talked of abandonment, and He talked that life is for enjoyment. Radha was the source of joy. “Ra” is energy, “dha” means the one who sustains energy. She was the source of joy, and His idea was, to enjoy life is the best way to live. And that’s why He said that you should play Holi, you should enjoy yourselves, you must have Raas, by which you enjoy group dancing and freedom.

So people thought that’s the way one has to live – is to be absolutely free, live as you like, specially in America. They thought that to enjoy life is complete abandonment: no discipline, no bindings, you can divorce your wife eight times and husbands ten times. That sort of a life started long time back, but it really prospered in America. The prosperity of this kind of a culture came to such a level that now we don’t know what’s going to happen to the family system, to the joy part of it.

Again here people forgot the other side of it. Adi Shakti first created Shri Ganesh. Shri Ganesh is the source of wisdom, He’s the source of auspiciousness. Through Him we understand auspiciousness, and He is a child. He is an eternal child. And this behavior of abandonment is very destructive if there is no wisdom. First thing was to establish wisdom within ourselves. But we start a theory or a kind of a pattern of life without thinking, have we got the wisdom or not? Are we capable of following that pattern of life without any development of our wisdom?

But the worst was when the freedom became the criteria of life, people became extremely dominating and egoistical. The first answer always you will get it, “What’s wrong?”

You ask them, “Why are you doing this?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I mean, it’s wrong because it is not auspicious.”

“What’s auspiciousness?” is there – absolutely like you can call them, people without any brains, brainless people. “Brainless” means there is no wisdom. What is the power of brain is wisdom. So life started drifting into a destructive bourn, we should say, of no return. And every kind of filth was accepted as a blessing, and nobody would think that this is wrong, this is not for human life. Even the animals are all not like that.

Added to that came the stupidity of drinking alcohol.    ........

Another thing they created were prostitutes.    ........

So this freedom without any wisdom at all growing, starts creating a terrible ego. When auspiciousness is given up then Shri Ganesha sleeps and as Christ, who is the incarnation of Shri Ganesha, also doesn’t bother. So the rule of Christ is finished. So what rules is the ego, this ego which thinks it is free. It doesn’t know it is bound by all kinds of enemies of very horrible types. At the time of Shri Krishna He said that the worst enemy human beings have is anger, but I think in modern times the worst enemy human beings have is greed and jealousy. Greed has no meaning these days. I mean, what do you say to a person who has three thousand shoes – I mean, pairs of shoes? Must be mad!

There are all sorts of things, you know, in greed you see these days. You don’t know how people are really behaving. No one can explain.   ......

Now the mind starts working with ego. Ego takes over like a computer, and it starts suggesting ways and methods by which how much money you can earn. So when you start earning money, then again the same Ego Mister tells you how to destroy yourself with this money. They do all kinds of things when they have money. I mean, that money is not a lakshmi prasad; it is some sort of a money that becomes like a rakshasa or a devil and which devours you. It takes you to all kinds of wrong places. It takes you to such horrible theories that nobody would accept such theories. This ego makes you feel that – ah, yes, you are perfect, you know everything, whatever you are doing is the best.   .......

because Shri Krishna is Kubera. He is the Deity, or we can say He is the God of wealth. But at the same time, He is a very mischievous God. You can see clearly: this is supposed to be Shri Krishna’s country which is overflowing with money. At the same time you find horrible things happening, worst in the whole world. I mean, no one can beat Americans, they say, in stupidity, in vulgarity, indecency, exploitation.

So this is the curse of money on human beings, which is to be understood, that freedom without wisdom is the most dangerous thing to use. It is better not to be free if you have no wisdom, because God knows what you will do if you have freedom and no wisdom.

穆罕默德就是摩西

*** 穆罕默德就是摩西  ***

十大宗師都是一體的，他們有相同的人格特質，他們都是原始宗師(Adi Guru)達陀陀哩耶(Dattatreya)一再的轉世，不論是摩西、亞伯拉罕、蘇格拉底等(註一)都是相同的人。

那些有宗教偏執的人容易在胃部產生問題，有一個伊朗醫生，他得到胃癌，1974年他千里迢迢來找我。我問他："你相信穆罕默德和摩西是同一個人嗎？"，這對回教徒而言是一大挑戰，

他說："不！不可能！我無法相信，這怎麼可能呢？"

我說："但是穆罕默德說他們都是相同的，他們共有10個人，為什麼你無法相信呢？"

"但是他們兩個人是不同的！我無法相信！"

"那麼我無法醫治你，因為你是一個宗教狂熱份子，這就為什麼你得到胃癌。你的問題是在宗教的偏執，而非癌症。你必須接受他們是相同的。"

他回到旅館後，他太太勸他："你都這麼嚴重了，醫生也說你已無法醫治了。為什麼你不要試試看？"。於是八天後他又再回來找我，說："好！母親，我接受，假如你如此說。"，我說："現在你要一再說你的口訣 " 穆罕默德，我知道你是摩西。"，你就只須說這個相同的口訣。"。結果他的胃癌被治好了，他現在(譯者：1982年)仍活得好好的，還住在伊朗。

註一：十大宗師是闍那迦、亞伯拉罕、蘇格拉底、摩西、瑣羅亞斯德、老子、孔子、穆罕默德、那納克、賽乃夫。他們是駐在幻海(void，即3a)的位置。

註二：Shri Mataji在許多談話都提過這個故事，內容大同小異。

註三：江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji 的談話1982-10-29, 1982-06-22, 1982-09-28。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。

Like Mohammed Sahib said that, “Now I will not come anymore; is the last prophet,” because He thought He’s done the job. But then he found [Shri Mataji laughs] that they are fighting and they are not at all bothered about their ascent, or their balancing, but they are going to the other extremes. So He incarnated again as Nanaka, and then as Shirdhi Sainath. So, these incarnations exist within us. They exist within us.

Now if you have to take the case of a person who suffers say, from stomach cancer. I had exactly this case, from Iran who suffered from cancer of the stomach. So I told him: “Will you believe that Mohammed Sahib was the same as Moses?” Imagine, what a great challenge for a Muslim to say Moses and Mohamed Sahib were the same. He said: “No, never, I can’t believe it. How can that be?” I said: “But Mohammed Sahib Himself said that they are the same. They are all ten in number. So why don’t you believe it?” He said: “But they were not the same. I cannot believe.” I said: “I cannot cure your cancer. Because you are a fanatic, that’s why you have got this stomach cancer. So you have to accept that they were the same.”
And he woke up, you know. So he went back home and, and another time they went to the hotel again. They had come all the way from Iran. So the wife said: “Now, will you please get alright?” He was very sick. He was dying. Doctors said he was going to die. He came to Me and said: “All right, Mother, I’ll do it.” I said: “Now you say that again and again. And that is the mantra for it, that: ‘Mohammed, I know that you were Moses.’ This is the simple mantra you have to say.” And he got cured; you’ll be amazed. He went back to Iran. He’s still there, living, existing. So this is what it is.(1982-10-29)

But they are one! They are one personality, born again and again. Moses, Abraham, Socrates: all of them are the same. Now if a Muslim is a fanatic, he gets a cancer. Normally he should, or he becomes a dry personality. Imagine Khomeini. They become a dry personality. They can be very violent people. But supposing they get into trouble, like cancer. I had one Muslim coming from Iran, who was a fanatic, he got cancer. I said, “You think that Mohammed Sahib is the only person?” “Yes,” he said. “But if I say, Guru Nanak was the same.” “I can’t believe it.” I said, “Then I can’t cure you. You have to accept, because Mohammed Sahib himself is against you, because he came in ten forms.” And he wouldn’t accept it. But his wife prevailed upon him because he was very sick. And he got cured. That’s how you have to prove. Human beings cannot easily understand.(1982-06-22)

Now for your information, those who are fanatics develop the trouble of the stomach. I met a doctor from Iran long time back about 1974, who had cancer of the stomach. And I told him, “Do you believe that Moses and Mohammed were the same persons?” He said, “How dare You say such a thing? How can they be the same person? Mohammed was absolutely different and He has nothing to do with anyone of them.” But I said, “Mohammed said He was a prophet, didn’t He?” But still he would not accept. So I said, “All right, I cannot cure you, Sir. You are suffering from fanaticism, not from cancer.” He went home, he had still trouble for about eight days, then his wife put some wisdom into his head. (Shri Mataji laughing) And then he came to Me. He said, “All right, I accept, Mother, if you say, I accept that Moses and Mohammed are the same.” And you’ll be amazed, his cancer was cured.(1982-09-28)

信心

*** 信心 ***

 

我觀察到有些練習者，當他們有意願去完成某事，那事情就會成就，當他們要求什麼，什麼就為他們準備好。關鍵點是什麼呢？我們應該擁有什麼(才能如此)呢？

在得到自覺、得到各種的祝福之後，我們要擁有、發展的是信心(faith)，是一種對自己的信心，對自己是一個靈、對自己是光、對必須去喚醒他人等要有信心。當這信心更進一步深入成長，然後你會自我思索："我是什麼？"，你就會知道你是一個靈。假如你是一個靈，那麼整個大自然都站在你這一邊。我舉一個例子，有一位職業是漁夫的練習者，他對我有無比的信心，有一天他要搭船去對岸鄰村推廣霎哈嘉，出門時但見滿天的烏雲，好像即將要下大雨。他對著天空說："我現在是要去為母親工作，你最好是不要下雨，最好是繼續撐著，直到我工作結束後再下"。當他到對岸上課、給自覺，再搭船回到家裡，然後他說："好吧！現在可以下雨了"，此時傾盆大雨才從天而降(註一)。所以當你有完全的信心，這無所不在的力量 (Paramchaitanya，即上天的力量) 就如同你的僕人，無時不刻隨侍在旁，等著服務你，無論你說什麼都會實現。但是首先你必需對自己有完全的信心，對你是霎哈嘉瑜伽士有完全的信心。

但是我發現一些練習者，内在仍有一些慾望及種種可怕的東西，(若是這樣子，你的信心是無法成就事情的。)所以你必須先好好建立正法(Dharma)，即所謂的正直、公義，如果你是站在正直公義這一邊，那麼沒有理由說上天的力量會不服從你的。

但假如你今天希望事情如何如何，可是並未如此成就，若因此而失望，那並不是好事。失望本身就是一種不成熟的表現，有什麼值得去失望呢？或許這樣子的結果對你是比較好的。這就要提到另外一個觀念，即耐心(patience)，你必須有耐心，假如你沒有耐心，只希望立即看到事情完成，那麼你如何能看到整件事情成就呢？現在世界的腳步非常快，人也動作迅速、極度緊張不安，但是你不應該像如狂奔的老鼠一般的大眾，而是應該站在一旁觀看才對，即你必須有耐心。所以你必須對自己有完全的信心，之外也必須有耐心來看霎哈嘉是如何運作成就，及這無所不在的力量是如何在成就整個事情。假如事情是朝某方向進行，那是ok的，朝另一方向進行也是ok的。朝這方向代表一些含義，朝那方向也代表另外一種含義。 

另外有關信心的一個重點是，你必須對你的導師有信心。假如你對你的導師有信心，那麼上天的力量也會對你好，如此將會十分有助益。假如你對你的導師有疑慮，那麼上天的力量也會懷疑你，因為上天的力量是經由你的導師去知道你，不論你的導師是我或其他的真導師，這情形都一樣。或許我太容易原諒人，所以有些練習者不太守規矩，我只是原諒而不去說什麼，就放任他們如此，這也無所謂。因為我想不去管他們，有一天他們會了解、會回到正軌。當然有時候事情是朝相反方向發展，即那些被原諒的人將之視為理所當然，但是你也不必失望，你必須對自己有信心，就帶著耐心繼續觀看。我們不是已給這麼多人自覺？這個世界已有這麼多聖人，你沒有看到嗎？

I have seen people who desire something, it works out. They ask for something, it works out. For that, now, what should we have, is the point.

After getting realization, after getting everything, what should we have that we develop is the faith. Faith in yourself. Faith in that you are the Spirit, that you have the light and you have to enlighten others. This faith when it grows deeper and deeper then you think, oh, what I am. I am the Spirit. If you are the Spirit then this whole nature is with you. I know of some Sahaja Yogis. One of them was a fisherman. He was doing Sahaja Yoga work. He has tremendous faith in Me and somehow he was going to another village to do Sahaja Yoga work. When he came out of his little hut he found it’s all full of clouds, black clouds. So he raised his hand and said, “See now, I’m going for Mother’s work. And you dare not start raining. You keep as you are, hanging there till I finish my work,” you see. Because he was going by boat. And other Sahaja Yogis thought, “What is he talking about?” They all got into the boat, they reached the other village. They gave realization to others, he finished his lecturing, everything, he came back on the shore and he entered his house. When he was closing the door, “All right, so go ahead,” he said. And he managed.

So the complete faith that this Paramchaitanya is like your servant, is all the time waiting there to serve you. Whatever you say will happen. But first you must have complete faith in yourself that you are a Sahaja Yogi.

Even now I find, you see, people have some lust, some sort of a horrible things in them. So first you must be established in Dharma. Dharma, is, as you know, is righteousness. If you are in the righteousness, there’s no question. There’s no question that this Paramchaitanya won’t obey you. But supposing you want today something and it doesn’t work out, then even to get disappointed itself is not a very good thing. Disappointment also is a sign of your immaturity. What is there to be disappointed? Maybe that that was good for you.   .........

Then another word in Sanskrit is titiksha, means patience, suboori – patience. You must have patience. If you don’t have patience, you want immediately something to be done. How will you see the whole thing working out? Many people are extremely jittery and very fast-running. This world is running so fast and you are the ones who have stood out and watching this rat race. You are not one of them. So must have titiksha, means you must have patience. So you must have faith in yourself fully and also patience, how Sahaja Yoga is working out or how this Paramchaitanya is working out.

If it works this way, all right, that way, all right. It is some meaning. If it works this way, there’s some meaning. If it is that way it has some meaning.

Now another thing which is important is the faith in your guru. If you have faith in your guru, Paramchaitanya is kind to you. It’s very helpful. But if you doubt, then Paramchaitanya also doubts you because Paramchaitanya knows you through your guru, whether it is Me or any other real guru, it’s the same. But with Me, of course, because, you know, I’m very forgiving so people start taking liberties.  .........

But I forgive. I don’t say anything. Let it be, it doesn’t matter. Because I think by leaving them alone only, they will rise and they will come up to this stage. But it happens sometimes that it may work the other way round, that if they are forgiven, then they take it for granted. So the faith in yourself is with patience you watch and do not get disappointed with anything whatsoever. Now, just imagine so many people have got realization, so many saints in this world, have you seen? 

你們都在我裡面

*** 你們都在我裡面  ***

我決定將你們全部放在我身體裡面，吸入你們所有的練習者。我知道這是一個非常危險的舉動，但是我還是這樣做，因為在這個時代我是應當這樣做，即我應該把你們都吸入到我體內。所以你們的所有問題也都一起進入我裡面，所有你們的負面都進入我裡面。但是將你們都吸入進來，就如同將你們放入海洋中，你們會被潔淨，但是海洋呢？海洋中仍有你們殘留的負面及污穢，這些東西是非常麻煩。所以最好是你們可以自我潔淨，經由反省來潔淨自己是非常重要，反省並非指思考，從來不是，而是指靜坐，即你們應該要靜坐。

我必須告訴你們如下的故事：有一次我和各地的負責人碰面，當他們都來到客廳時，我的胃突然有一個劇烈的疼痛，然後我有難以想像的嚴重腹瀉。我並不知道到底他們中間誰有問題，我也不知道誰帶來這些問題。但是做為一個母親，我不在乎任何事，只要你們都變好、都得到潔淨就好。就如同母親大地照顧你們，我也照顧你們；就如同母親大地愛你們，我也愛你們，不論你是好的或是壞的，好壞都不重要。

但你們要對我好一些，假如你們可以試著當一個好的霎哈嘉練習者，如不要炫耀自己、不要像生意人、不要只是用頭腦、不要來爭吵、不要批評他人等等；假如你們都每天試著靜坐10到15分鐘，那麼我的健康將會是一流的。因為我將你們放入我裡面，有一些人就不當一回事地折磨我。我所做的、承擔的是有一些風險，我相信(在場的)你們都是非常通情達理的人，你們知道你們的母親不應該遭受苦難，但是對我而言，有時候就像每天被釘十字架一般，我真不知道如何說。

例如上一次在德里有一個負責人來看我，我的一隻腳就開始扭轉，讓我疼痛不已。我不知道如何告訴他請他立即出去，因為我不想傷害他，所以我說："發生了什麼事？你之前去過哪些地方呢？你做了什麼事呢 ？"，然後他才理解到，才離開，之後我的疼痛就大幅改善。你們靠近我有時候也會有一些影響，例如一個有許多問題的人非常接近我，引起我的注意，那我就不得不忍受苦難了，往往就是如此。

Now the problem of this Adi Shakti is this, that I decided that I will have all of you enter into My body, absorb all of you. It’s a very dangerous game I know, but I did play, because I’m supposed to do at this stage of time, that I should absorb you all in My body.

So with you, all your problems are also gone into Me, all your troubles also have gone into Me. But by absorbing it, see, it’s like ocean into which you are put and you are cleansed. But what about the ocean? Ocean has got still your problems and things lingering and they are very troublesome.

So the best thing would be for you to cleanse yourself. Cleansing is very important through introspection. But doesn’t mean thinking, never means thinking.

But introspection means meditation and that you all should meditate.

I must tell you, we had a meeting of the leaders and they came out and sat in the drawing room. As soon as they assembled I had such a severe pain in the stomach and I had such a bad diarrhea that you can’t believe. Now, who has got those problems, I don’t know. Who has brought these problems, I don’t know. But as a Mother, as a Mother, I don’t mind anything, as long as you all get well and purified.

Just like as the Mother Earth cares for you, I also care for you. And just like as the Mother Earth loves you, I also love you, whether you are bad or good is not the point.

But to be kind to Me if you could try to be really good Sahaja Yogis, not a showoffs, not business-like, not only thinking type, not argumentative, not criticizing others; if you just try to meditate every day ten to fifteen minutes, I tell you, My health will be first class.

Because I have taken your injections inside and they start torturing My life for nothing at all.

See so, now, it’s a risk I have run, and I am sure you are all very sensible people, and you will understand that your Mother shouldn’t suffer. This is every-day crucifixion for Me sometimes you know, and I don’t know what to say.

For example, the other day in Delhi, one gentleman who is a leader, came to Me, to see Me, and My one foot started going like that and paining so much.

I mean I didn’t know what to tell him that, “You get out now,” because I just can’t hurt him, you know. But I said, “What’s the matter, where have you been, what did you do?” And so he realized and he went out, and really it improved.

Nearness also, I think, has an effect, because if a man like that is, or a lady like that is full of problems and she comes very much closer to My attention, then I have to take up the cross, it’s like this.

太初之母和母親大地

*** 太初之母和母親大地  ***

太初之母(Adi Shakti)如何開始作用在這母親大地(Mother Earth)呢？首先她創造了一個昆達里尼(Kundalini)在母親大地之內，然後她從母親大地創造出錫呂格涅沙(Shri Ganesha)。太初之母在你之內的表現即是昆達里尼，即昆達里尼是太初之母在你内裡的反映，而太初之母的反映亦在母親大地的諸多地方表現出來，如在不同的地方、不同的國家、不同的城市，以各種輪穴及太初之母創造的萬物顯現出來。在母親大地內部，昆達里尼先儘量冷卻母親大地的內裡，然後再從地球表面顯化出不同的輪穴。昆達里尼穿越地球內部不同的中心(centers，譯者：有可能指輪穴中心)，也創造出不同的中心，最後才從Kailasha(註一)穿出來，所以你可以在Kailasha這個地方感受到巨大的能量(vibration)流出來。

所以宇宙大我(Virata)、母親大地、人類三者有很大的相似性，三者(的內在)都有太初昆達里尼(Adi Kundalini)的反映，因此三者有很密切的連結。

母親大地的移動是由内裡的昆達里尼所控制，重力(gravity，即地心引力)也是母親大地的昆達里尼的顯化。為什麼人類在這美麗的星球會有這麼多苦難呢？因為人類不去尊重最必須被尊敬的母親大地，所謂尊重母親大地是什麼意思呢？即指所有地球上的一切創造，無論它是來自地球的移動、來自海洋、來自所有的元素，都必須被尊重。像現今的汙染問題，其根本的原因是人類不了解到五個元素的重要性，它們是我們生命的支柱。

母親大地是知道聖人的，他知道誰是聖人，他可以感知聖人的腳。這也為什麼摩西(Moses，註二)走入海中，母親大地會隆起來讓他從紅海走過去，假如只是猶太人想穿越紅海，那是不會出現奇蹟的。正是摩西及其神聖的特質使得母親大地隆起來幫忙。同樣的，當年羅摩(Shri Rama)要在斯里蘭卡及印度之間建立一座橋樑，母親大地就隆起來形成一座橋(註三)。所以我們不應當因為任何地球上的災難，就來詛咒母親大地。假如人們是聖潔的，那麼母親大地總是會保護他們，她總是儘力試著給予他們想要的東西。

我們可以說母親大地是太初之母最佳的反映，所以我們必須尊重母親大地。靜坐時，假如你們可以坐在母親大地之上，那是會非常有助益的，因為她有一種特殊的能力，即和我一樣，可以吸走你的不好的東西，當她吸取你的負面時，你是毫無困難可以去除這些不好的東西。假如你無法坐在地上，那你可以坐在石頭上，或是大理石，或儘量坐在天然的東西，這些都會比較好。假如你坐在塑膠製品上靜坐，我實在不知道塑膠會如何幫你。這就為什麼我一再要求你們要用天然的製品，因為天然的東西會有效地吸收你種種不好的東西。

註一：這座山位於西藏邊境，中文名字叫岡仁波齊峰，自古即

是聖地。

註二：這是指摩西帶以色列人出埃及時，紅海的水分開的故事。

註三：羅摩橋(Rama's Bridge)是位於斯里蘭卡及印度之間一連串的石灰岩沙洲。這座天然橋共綿延48公里長。羅摩橋名稱源自於印度信仰，根據印度史詩羅摩耶那(Ramayana)，羅摩王子為救被魔王拉伐(Ravana)擄走的愛妻媳妲(Sita)，得到神猴哈紐曼幫助，由猴軍花了5天築出羅摩橋，終得深入斯里蘭卡與魔王拉伐大戰救回愛妻。(譯者摘自維基百科全書)

美國太空總署2002年公布了一張衛星照片，能夠清晰地看到印度與斯里蘭卡之間有一道狹長的海底沙樑。這條海底沙樑與羅摩耶那中描述的羅摩橋非常相像。

But we’ll come to the point when Adi Shakti started working on this Mother Earth.

The first thing is we must know, that She created a Kundalini in the Mother Earth itself and She created Shri Ganesha out of the Mother Earth, it’s very interesting.   .........

The expression of Adi Shakti within you is the Kundalini, no doubt. That is the reflection of Adi Shakti in you. But the reflection in the Mother Earth is also expressed, as you all know, in different places, different countries, different cities, as the manifestation of chakras and Adi Shakti’s creations.   ..........

Inside the Mother Earth, the Kundalini came up in such a way that it cooled down the inner part of the Mother Earth as much as it could, and then it manifested on the surface of the earth as different chakras.

So it’s tremendous similarity that we have with Virata, the Mother Earth and the human beings. If all of them are being reflected by the Adi Kundalini so there has to be a great connection between them.  ....

It is not understood by human beings how they are connected to this Mother Earth. This Kundalini passed through different centers, creating different centers in the Mother Earth and ultimately broke through Kailasha.

And I don’t know how many have you been to Kailash you’ll see tremendous vibrations flowing out of Kailash.   .........

All the movements of Mother Earth are controlled by this inner Kundalini, which is the reflection of Adi Shakti. The gravity that it has also is the manifestation of the Kundalini of the Mother Earth.

Now, why we are suffering in this beautiful planet, because we do not respect what we have to respect the most. Mother Earth is to be respected, meaning what? Meaning that whatever is created on this earth, by the movement of the earth, by the sea, by all the elements, has to be respected.

Today’s problem is pollution, all kinds of things people talk of. The reason behind it, people never understood the importance of all these five elements which are supportive of our life.   ........

So the understanding of Mother Earth about saints is very great. She knows who is a saint, She knows the feet of a saint and that’s why, you know so many things were created, like Moses, He went to the sea and the Mother Earth came up, for them to walk through. If all the Jews had walked, it would not have worked, but it was Moses and His saintliness that the Mother Earth Herself came up and helped.

In the same way when Rama was building a big bridge between Lanka and India, the Mother Earth came up as a bridge.

So we should not try to curse the Mother Earth for any mishaps on this Earth. If people are saintly they will be always protected by Mother Earth. She will always try to give them whatever they want.  ......

So before us is the best reflection of the Adi Shakti and that is this Mother Earth.

So first we must respect the Mother Earth.

I like you people because you are sitting on the ground, it’s very good. For meditation if you can sit on the Mother Earth it will be extremely good because the special quality of the Mother Earth, which also I have unfortunately, that I suck your problems.

She too sucks your problem and when She sucks your problem you get rid of them without any difficulties.

So, if you cannot, say, sit on the ground, then you take a stone, better is, or you can have a marble, or something which is natural on which you should try to sit.

But if you sit on the plastic and do your meditation, I don’t know what is going to help you, the plastic? That’s why I request you always, that use natural things, because natural things can absorb your problems very well.
