無為的靜坐

 *** 無為的靜坐 ***

 

無所不在的能量(vibration) 是向你發射過來，你所需要做的是對它敞開自己，最好的方法是不要有任何的用力與作為(effort)。不要擔心你有什麼問題，譬如我發覺很多人在靜坐的時候常去照顧他們有阻礙的部位。其實你不必去擔心，你只需要讓能量自由運行，它會自行來解決問題、來成就。就是這麼簡單！

 

所以你不必有任何努力，這就是所謂的"靜坐"。靜坐是將你自己置於上帝的恩寵之中，這恩寵的力量自己知道如何來療癒你，它知道如何修補你、如何在你裡面運作、如何點亮你的靈(Spirit)。它知道所有的事情，所以你不用去擔心你必須做什麼，或你必須唸什麼(神祇的)名號，或什麼口訣(mantras)。在靜坐的時候你必須完全的不要有所作為(effortless，即 "無為" )，將你自己完全敞開，而且必須在當下處在完全的無思慮的狀態。

 

有時候你可能不是無思慮(thoughtless)的狀態，這時候你只需要去靜觀你的思緒，但不要牽扯進去。你會發覺正如同太陽升起來，黑暗會逐漸消退，而太陽光最終會照到每一個裂縫及每一個部分，讓整個大地都明亮起來。靜坐也是如此，整個你(最終)會完全被點亮啟發。但是假如靜坐時你去用力，或試圖阻止內在的某些運行，或試圖給它一個班丹，那麼這個光照反而無法抵達你身體的每一個部分。

 

無為是達到真正靜坐的唯一道路，但是你不能變成毫無精神的昏睡狀態(lethargic)，你必須是處在清醒(alert)及靜觀(watch)周遭的狀態，否則有些人甚至會睡著了，這是不對的，你必須是清醒的。假如你打瞌睡，那麼這種靜坐是不會有效果的，那是另外的一種狀態。假如你是以懶惰的心態來靜坐，那不會有效果的。你必須是清醒，而且敞開自己，處在完全有覺知的狀態，完全不去用力。當你完全不去用力時，靜坐的效果會是最佳的。

 

不論你那一個輪穴有阻塞，完全不要去擔心這些問題，只需要對無所不在的能量敞開自己。你看當太陽普照大地時，自然界的一切就將自己暴露在陽光之中，毫不用力地來吸收太陽的恩賜。在陽光中大自然的植物並沒有任何作為與努力，而只是接受太陽光，如此太陽光就開始來運作，來啟動(光合作用)。

 

同樣的，這無所不在的力量(All-Pervading Power)也是如此來運作，你不必去操縱它，你不必對它做任何事，只需要不去用力，完完全全的不作為。你不需要去唸誦(某一個神衹的)名號，也不要去擔心你的額輪是否阻塞，或那邊有阻塞，這個力量會自行去處理這些問題。只要它做得到，它就會持續去處理。而且當有必要時，它也會展現出種種的奇蹟。你完全不用去擔心這些，它知道它的工作。但是當你去費心、用力時，事實上你反而給它製造出一個障礙。所以沒有任何努力是需要的，就完全的無為，只需要說："就讓它自行運作！讓它自行運作！"。就是這樣！

 

不需要去唱誦什麼口訣，假如你發覺靜坐不順利，你可以唱誦我的名字，但是這其實也不需要，(因為)當你將雙手朝向我(譯者註：雙掌向上、手指朝向相片) 就像一個口訣，這就很足夠了！這個姿勢本身就是口訣。你沒有需要去說出來，但你的內心、你的情感必須就像伸出手來(祈求)，如此就會有成就。當你內在(的祈求)情感完整足夠時，就沒有必要去唸任何口訣，此時你已經超越口訣了！你必須完全不要用力！完全的無為！重點就是如此！

 

靜坐是為了你自己的昇進，為了你自己必須有的益處。一旦你進入靜坐狀態，你也會獲得自己的大能(powers)。如同當你成為總督時，你就有總督的各種權力。靜坐的時候不必去想到其他人，不要將你的注意力放到其他人，而只是來接收能量，不要去想任何的煩惱和問題，只需要不用力，完全的無為。

 

若只是單純來接收能量，靜坐的效果會是最好的。一般人都有一些毛病及問題，這就是為什麼你會在這裡(來學靜坐)。但是你並無法解決這些問題，這些問題必須由上天的力量(Divine Power) 來解決，這一點你必須完全理解，即人無法解決人的問題，人的問題是超出人的能力所能解決的，所以要交給上天的力量來處理，人只需要完全毫不用力，讓自己處在上天的大能之中。

 

就舒服地坐著，將雙足接觸在大地，雙手如此放鬆地張開(註一)。姿勢要完全輕鬆舒適，不要有任何的不舒服。(姿勢)一定要非常舒服，因為你將靜坐一段時間。試著將在你内裡的注意力放在我，假如做得到則將注意力放在我的昆達里尼。你(的注意力)可以到我的昆達里尼裡面，那麼一切都會自然成就。雙手必須如此放著(註一)。

 

無為是靜坐的關鍵要點，完全不要去用力，不論你是在我面前或是在相片前靜坐。

 

 

註一： 此談話只有音檔沒有影像 ，手的擺放姿勢是參考其他談話。 霎哈嘉靜坐姿勢就是：雙手張開，掌心向上，輕鬆地放在大腿上，手指朝向相片。

In the same way the vibrations, the vibrations are coming, they are radiated. What you have to do is to expose yourself to it. The best way is not to put in any effort. Don’t worry at what point you have a problem. Say, many people during meditation, I have seen if they catch somewhere they go on looking after it. You just don’t have to worry. You just let it go and it will work by itself. It’s very easy.

 

So you don’t have to put in any effort. This is what meditation is. Meditation means exposing yourself to God’s grace. Now the grace itself knows how to cure you. It knows how to mend you, how to settle down itself into your own being, keep your Spirit kindled. It knows everything. So you don’t have to worry as to what you have to do or what name you have to take, what mantras you have to do. In meditation you have to be absolutely effortless, expose yourself fully and you have to be absolutely thoughtless at that time.

 

Supposing there’s a possibility, you may not be thoughtless. At that time you have to just watch your thoughts, but don’t get involved into them. You will find gradually as the sun rises, the darkness goes away and the sun’s rays go into every crevice and every part and makes the whole place lighted. In the same way your being will be completely lighted, but if you put in an effort that time or try to stop something within you or try to give it a bandhan it will not.

 

Effortlessness is the only way to meditation, but you should not be lethargic about it – should be alert and watch it. The other side could be people just doze off. No! You have to be alert. If you doze off, nothing will work. That’s another side of it is. If you are lazy about it, nothing will work. You have to be alert and opened, absolutely aware, completely effortless – absolutely effortless. If you are absolutely effortless, meditation will work the best.

 

Don’t think of your problems at all, whatever chakras you have, anything. Just expose yourself. See when the sun shines all the nature exposes itself to the sun and receives the blessings of the sun, effortlessly. It doesn’t put in any effort it just receives itself when it receives the sun’s rays then the sun’s ray’s start acting and activating.

 

So, the same way, the All-Pervading Power starts working. You are not to manoeuvre it. You are not to do anything about it. Just be effortless, absolutely effortless. Don’t take any names. Do not bother if your Agnya is catching, this is catching, that is catching. It is working out. It will go on working as long as it can and it will do the miracle that it has to do. You don’t have to worry about it. It knows its job. But when you put in an effort actually you create a barrier for it. So no effort is needed, be absolutely effortless and say ‘Let it go, let it go’ – that’s all.

 

No mantra’s to be chanted, in case you find it’s impossible – then you can take my name, but there is no need even. When you put your hand towards me that’s the mantra, sufficient, this gesture itself is the mantra. You see there’s no need to say it more, but the thought, in the mind, the emotion should be that we have to spread our hands to that and it should work. When this emotion is absolutely complete, there is no need to say any mantra, and you go beyond it. So, one has to be absolutely effortless, absolutely effortless. That is what it is.

 

Meditation is for your own ascent, is for your own capital gains that you have to have. But once you get into it, you also achieve your powers. Like, you become a governor then you get the powers of the governor. At this time you don’t have to think about anybody else. You are not put your attention to anybody else but just receive it, just receive it. Do not think of any other problem, but that, that you have to be effortless, absolutely effortless.

 

It would work best on the people who are just receiving it. You have problems – that’s why you are here, but you cannot solve them, they are to be solved by Divine Power. This must be understood fully, that we cannot solve our problems. It is beyond us to solve our problems. So leave it in the hands of the Divine Power and expose yourself effortlessly, absolutely effortlessly.

 

Sit in comfort, and properly with both the feet on the ground, with both the hands relaxed like this. Be comfortable, you should not be uncomfortable at all. Be very comfortable because you will sit for quite some time. And you try to put your attention to me, within yourself, if you can, to my Kundalini if you can. You can come into my Kundalini and it will be done, just like this the hands should be like this.

 

So effortlessness is the key word, absolutely effortlessly, whether you are meditating before me, or before my photograph. (註：譯者有根據原音及字幕更正Amruta的一些原文)

 

摩訶拉希什米的力量與水的力量

 *** 摩訶拉希什米的力量與水的力量 ***

 

說明：在這個光明節普祭談話的中間，錫呂瑪塔吉從水的特性來談一個已得到摩訶拉希什米原理的人會有那些力量。摩訶拉希什米原理是屬於臍輪，而臍輪的元素就是水，所以從水的特性可以知道一個有摩訶拉希什米原理的人會有那些力量。

譯文：

什麼是你內在 "摩訶拉希什米原理"(Mahalakshmi Principle)的力量呢？所謂力量是指你可以用這個力量來做一些事。 

首先，你有潔淨(purify)(他人)的能力。你是如何治療他人呢？是靠著潔淨對方吧！試著想你是如何潔淨對方？你是藉著談話來潔淨對方；藉著用手來接觸對方，你可以潔淨對方；藉著看著對方，你也可以潔淨對方。一個自覺的靈可以潔淨整個場域的氛圍。

再來，(猶如水可以讓人解渴)，這個力量會消除靈性的飢渴，你有能力消解(quench)人們對靈性追求的渴望。這是一個很大的力量！因為一旦你給人自覺，這個人累世的追求就宣告結束了！

另一個力量是什麼呢？你只需想想水！你可以滋養(nourish)他人。經由你的力量你可以給人們靈性的滋養，甚至你只是站在這裡，也會滋養他人。

再來，正如水是一個溶劑，你可以消融(dissolve)人們的自我(ego)及非我(superego)，在得到自覺之後你就擁有這個能力。

再者，你變成一個冷靜的人，你的人格特質變成冷靜(cool)，你有冷卻安定他人的效用，(猶如水一般。)

另外一個是非常不凡的特質，即水可以散佈成最小的分子，可以抵達根部，它從根部進入。所以擁有摩訶拉希什米力量的你，可以知道每個人的深處根部，你可以知道他的問題是來自何處，你直搗這核心。事實上這就是覺知及智力受到啟發，所以你知道問題在那裡。可以說你(的覺知)如水一般擴散接近根部，然後輕易滲透進入(問題的)根部。譬如當你坐在某人旁邊，然後你告訴我："母親，這個人就是背部有感染，他自己都不知道"。你的覺知已滲入這個人內部，但他不知道。你已經滲透進入這個人，並感知最深處的問題之所在。覺知的水已流入這個人，這個神聖的水流入這個人，而且阻礙之處已被這個神聖的水所感知！ 所以你能知道這裡有感染、那裡有感染。這就是散佈滲透 (permeate)的力量。

另一個(特性)就是水的閃耀(glisten)，所以得到自覺後，你的皮膚開始閃閃發亮，你的皮膚變成非常容光煥發。

另一個重要的特性是反射(reflection)。一個看到你的人，(可能)從你身上看到他們自己的反射，有時他會嚇一跳。對我而言這時常發生，我其實不會有什麼惡意，但人們常不由自主的被我嚇到，因為他們看到了自己的影子。所以當他們看到得到自覺的你，他們也可能看到自己的影子。他們可能變得非常有攻擊性、對你非常不友善，只因為他們看到自己的影子。假如你是如同清澈的水，那麼你就可以看到他人的深處。假如你是一個清澈的瑜伽士，你就可以清楚地感覺 (他人)內在深處，你可以看透這個人的靈性。以上這些都是水的特質。.......

水的力量也有其他的型態。當(淚)水從你的眼睛流出來，它表示你的慈悲、你的愛或你的情感。水是五個元素中唯一可以表現情感的，這也是一種水的力量。

水也有其他的特質，物理學家知道水會形成水壓，即水會產生一種壓力。當一個霎哈嘉瑜伽士在場，毫無疑問會給其他人一種壓力，並不是他會咄咄逼人，而是會對其他人產生一種壓力。假如對方接受這種壓力，那麼他會從這位瑜伽士獲得一些益處。假如他不願意接收，那麼他會感覺被壓迫，或有一點被主導。......

水是非常神聖的，在普祭中我們特別用這個東西(註：Shri Mataji手指旁邊的水瓶)來尊崇昆達里尼，這是表示昆達里尼是水瓶或水瓶座(Aquarius)時代的承載器。現在正是水瓶座的時代，所以水是非常重要的，而且水是上天神聖的愛(Divine Love)的承載器，也是最佳的承載器。現在正是水瓶座的時代，這正意味著昆達里尼是由神聖的水所構成的。

What is the Mahalakshmi principle within you? ......
Power means, you have that power to do something. ……
The whole thing I told you just now, is to purify. You have the power to purify. How do you cure people? By purifying them. All right?
Now just think how you purify others, by talking to others you can purify them. By touching others, you can purify them. By looking at them, you can purify them. One person who is a realized soul, purifies the whole atmosphere.  ……

Shri Mataji: Now coming to the part. It quenches the thirst, the spiritual thirst. You can quench the spiritual thirst of people, tremendous power it is, because when you give Realization, done, the seeking is over. All right?
Then another one. Now come along. What other power?
Think of the water – Nourishment –
You nourish. You give spiritual nourishment to people through your power; even if you are standing there, you are nourishing others.
Then it’s a solvent, you dissolve their ego and you dissolve their super ego. All these powers are your own after Realization. Just think of it. What else? ……
Shri Mataji: You become a cool down person. Very good- laughs- very good. You become cool, cool personality. You have cooling effects. Very good, what else? ……
It has another very great quality that water permeates into the smallest particle. It goes to the roots, and it sucks into the roots. So Mahalakshmi power you just see the roots of the person. You just know where the problem comes from. You jump at it . Actually it is the awareness, it is the intelligence, which sucks the truth part of it, which gets enlightened. And you understand that now where is the problem, you just go near the root and you suck and you can be easily sucked, you permeate.

You see, when you are sitting near a person then you tell Me, “Mother, this is catching at the back, the person doesn’t know.” You have permeated. Your personality has permeated into that person. He doesn’t know. You have permeated into that person and you are feeling the roots, where is the problem. The water is flowing into that being. The divine water is flowing into that being and the obstruction is felt through that divine water and you can say that this is catching that is catching. So permeate, permeating. And then another one, is the glistening of the water. So your skin starts glistening your skin becomes very radiant. And the last of all is the reflection. A person, who sees you, sees his own reflection. He gets frightened. With me, it happens sometimes. I don’t mean anything bad to anyone but people are unnecessarily frightened of Me because they see their reflection. So when they meet you they see their reflection, they can be very aggressive because they see their reflection. They can be very hard on you because they see their reflection and if it is clear-cut water, then you see the depth of that person. If you are clear-cut sahaja yogi you feel the depth clearly and they can see through – the spirituality. These are the qualities of water.  ……

there are other types of powers of water, which we know about when it comes out of your eyes it expresses your compassion, your love, your emotions. That is the only thing out of all the elements which expresses emotions, water power, I mean.
Water has other qualities also which physics people know hydrostatics water, the pressure. It was the pressure and a person who exists like a sahaja yogi will definitely put a pressure on others. He will not, he will not aggress but there will be a pressure and pressure. And another person if he receives one then he will gets the advantage of you, but if he doesn’t want to receive it then he feel pressurize and feels little bit dominated.  ……

So today for water should really know that the water is a very holy thing and in our pujas also we use specially this thing dignifies the Kundalini that means the Kundalini is the water jar or the carrier of Aquarius. And this is the age of the Aquarius.
So how important is this water and the water is the carrier of divine love, is the best carrier. And this is the time of Aquarius means the Kundalini is made of divine water. (註：譯者有根據影帶原音及字幕更正Amruta的一些原文)

 

 

明辨力與額輪(之六)

*** 明辨力與額輪(之六) ***

在額輪，我們可以說所有這些明辨的力量都內建在你裡面。它們都是自然而然的，你只需要藉著靜坐、藉著隨時省察你自己是否處於享受的狀態，如此這些明辨力量就會成長。所有整個(額輪的)明辨力全看這一點：你能享受霎哈嘉瑜伽到什麼程度。

霎哈嘉形式的生活其實是有無比的樂趣，像昨天我和各式各樣的人見面，有些練習者覺得我浪費太多的精力來應付這些不相關的人，其實一點都不會，我是很享受他們所有的人。來到霎哈嘉會讓你變成一個笑看人間世事的享受者，譬如一個人來到你面前，你和他談話聊天，每一個人背後都有不同的故事，你可以去發現他有什麼精彩的故事。你其實不需要去電影院看電影，每一個(你所碰到的)人的特質與際遇都是一部電影，假如你可以仔細去看、去了解，那是非常令人享受的。

唯一痛苦的部分是我是一個導師的角色，我必須去告訴他們這一點不好、那一點不對。這是在看這戲劇的過程中唯一不舒服的部分。我希望我可以避開這一部分，但這是不可能的，因為你們必須從黑暗走出來，回到陽光底下，而你是抓著我的手，所以我必須告訴你要小心，這是一條很狹窄的道路，一不小心你可能就掉到左脈或右脈去。所以(你)要緊握我的手，我們必須前進再前進，不要去看左邊或是右邊，只需要把握這重點。當你有足夠的明辨力將你的手交給你的導師，你所需要做的只是這些。

你不需要做任何事，你只需要去觀看、去了解(碰到的)每一個人，唯一你要去做的只是去享受這一切。去做任何事或不去做並不是重點，而是你要處在享受的狀態，完完全全享受的狀態(the state of enjoyment)。這個狀態是你們必須去達到的，你們應該變成那個狀態的存在體。......

在穿越額輪時，你需要的明辨力是知道你要追求升進，而不是其他任何的目標。只需藉著了解什麼是享受、什麼能帶給你真正的喜樂，穿越額輪就會自然而然地發生。假如你讓這自然而然的力量來進行，這其實並不是那麼困難。但是常有練習者告訴我："我們必須做這個，必須做那個，這些要如何做呢？"，在這個(穿越額輪的)關鍵點，其實只需要放下一切，這一切都會自然地發生完成。並不是你要去做什麼努力，而是無所不在的神聖力量以無比的效率，來為你做所有的工作。

註一：在這個很長的談話中，Shri Mataji從根輪逐一談各個輪穴的明辨力，最後額輪的部分講的比較簡短。關於談話中提到的重點"享受"，或許在另外一個談話中的片段有助於大家了解，譯者將之附在下面：

一個很有音樂素養的人來到濕婆神前面唱歌，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。 .....

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。......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。......

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！

註二：江瑞凱綜合整理摘譯自Shri Mataji明善輪普祭（Hamsa Puja）的談話1991-04-28. JSM !這是一篇很長的談話，Shri Mataji 逐一談各個輪穴應該有什麼明辨力，譯者將之分成數篇。敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹指正。

So this works up to the Agnya Chakra. We can say that all these discretionary powers are within you, they are built in, they are spontaneous, and you have to just allow them to grow, by meditating, by watching yourself every minute, every second, whether are you enjoying yourself or not? So the whole of discretion rests on one point: how far you are enjoying Sahaja Yoga, what a nice thing!
Like yesterday, I was meeting every sort of a person, and some, some of them felt I was exerting too much Myself. No, no, no, no, not at all! I was enjoying all of them. Sahaja Yoga is a very big joker – very big joker. Say, a person comes up to you, you talk to that person. It’s a drama behind every individual and you discover what a drama this individual was. No need to go to any theatre or any film. [Laughter]
Every personality is a drama, very enjoyable if you just want to see the drama and if you just know that, oh, you have to watch the drama, you have to see it. Only painful part is that as a guru, I have to tell them this is not good, that is not good. That’s the only painful thing. I wish I could have avoided it somehow, but it’s not possible. Because from the darkness to the sunlight you have to come out, and you’re holding My hand so I have to tell you that be careful, it’s a very, very small road and both the sides you can fall off into Ida and Pingala. So hold My hand tightly, we have to go further, further, further. Don’t look this side, that side, that’s all. And this is what it is when you have discretion to put your hand into the hands of your Guru. Then you don’t do anything. You just watch everyone, see everyone and only thing you do is to enjoy. Whether you do it or not is not the point, but you are in the state of enjoyment, completely in the state of enjoyment. And that is the state we have to achieve, and should become that state as our own being. ......

So the discretion, at that time, is to know that you are here for your ascent and for nothing else. And that has to work spontaneously only by just finding out Joy and Joy-giving things.
It is not so difficult if you allow the spontaneity to work it, but they told Me that: “Mother, we have to do this, we have to do that. What to do? This and that.” Just leave it at that point. Just leave it, and everything will work out. You are not doing anything. You are not really doing anything. It’s this all-pervading Power, which is so efficient, is doing everything for you.

展現錫呂格涅沙的力量的靜坐方法

*** 展現錫呂格涅沙的力量的靜坐方法 ***

要展現出(我們內在的)錫呂格涅沙(的力量)，我們需要下一些苦功。

首先在靜坐的時候，我們必須(對錫呂格涅沙)說："我將值得祢的厚愛，請讓我變得謙虛，如此我會為祢所疼愛，而且我唯一的願望就是來取悅祢。"，然後以完全純潔的心，將注意力放在根輪，虔心來靜坐。

接著你對著你面前的相片說："母親，你就是錫呂格涅沙，是你帶給我智慧和明辨力。"，注意力放在三角骨下面的根輪，將右手向著相片，左手貼在母親大地。這個姿勢將可以治癒所有你的腦袋及心智所帶來的種種問題。人的腦袋及心智其實充滿許多疑惑，它沒有明辨力，也十分混亂複雜，它一再犯同樣的錯誤，它也不知道如何來矯治這些錯誤想法所帶來的毛病。

即你需要來做這樣子的靜坐，(會有助於展現出我們內在錫呂格涅沙的力量)。

註一：江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji在錫呂格涅沙普祭(Shri Ganesha Puja)的談話1983-09-11。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。

To manifest Shri Ganesha, we have to do certain amount of Tapasya – penance. First we have to say, when we sit for meditation, that: “I am going to be worthy of Your appreciation. Make me humble, so that I am appreciated by You, and my only desire is to please You.” Then you sit down in complete preparedness, meditating over your Mooladhara, putting your attention to it with absolute purity. Now you have my photograph before you and you tell the photograph, “Mother, You are Shri Ganesha. You give me wisdom and discretion”. So, attention at the Mooladhara chakra, which is actually below the sacrum bone. You put your right hand towards the photograph and left hand on the Mother Earth. Now this wilI tell you that your mind, or your brain which is full of confusion, which has no discretion, which is complicated, which does the same mistakes again and again, which does not understand how to cure the ills of bad thinking. All that can be cured if you put your right hand towards Me and the left hand to the Mother Earth. So, in action, you do like that.

昆達里尼像火一樣的特性

*** 昆達里尼像火一樣的特性 ***

這個昆達里尼的力量有某些特性，第一個特性是所謂的 "ungrahavati" ，即它的走向是和地心引力相反的，即它是向上走的，而不是向下的。所以一個人必須是本質上有一種向上升進的渴望，否則昆達里尼不會升起。就如同食物往下到我們的胃裏，它會擠壓腸子的周邊，靠著這個就產生食物往下的移動。所以當昆達里尼啟動之後，它會對輪穴的周邊施加壓力，她(註一)會創造出來一種將自己拋向更高再更高的感覺，所以輪穴就將它往上彈。

所有沉重的東西都會往下掉，但是昆達里尼是一路向上，因為它就像火一樣，火不會向下燒，而總是往上燒。她也像火一樣，在她内裡也有火一樣的能力。火是有能力來潔淨，火會燒掉所有可以燒掉的東西，也可以潔淨無法燃燒的東西，譬如將黃金和白銀放入火中，火會淨化、純化這些金屬，讓這些金屬變成更精純的形式。

存在於昆達里尼内裡像火一樣的特性會燒掉所有沒有用的東西...，當她升起的時候，她就燒掉你内裡沒用的東西，如沒有用的欲望、有關行動的沒有用的觀念及想法、所有來自感覺和自我的種種沒有用的累積，和其間毫無意義的各種東西。每一樣都會很快被燒掉，因為它們是可以被燒掉的，因為它們本質上就不是永恆的存在，它們只是暫時存在那裡。昆達里尼會燒掉這些暫時存在的東西，她就是如此來照亮你内裡的靈(Spirit)，靈是無法被任何東西燒掉的。

這種燃燒(清潔)是如此的完美，它會燒掉所有不好、沈滯腐臭、會帶來污染、疾病等，而使整個系統變得清涼...。當昆達里尼燒掉這些東西的時候，你會感到熱，因為她正在燃燒這些(不好的)東西。

昆達里尼的力量是用來潔淨，像火一般來潔淨我們，而不是像水，這是非常特殊的。她潔淨人們並不是像水的作用。水是如何作用呢？水不會燒掉任何東西，但它會溶解某些東西，水會將某些東西吸收進來，它將某些髒東西包容在它裡面。譬如你將一個顏料放入水中，水會吸收它，而變成那個顏色；但是昆達里尼不會變成這個顏色，她會將這個顏料燒掉。假如你有任何不好的東西在你裡面，她就將它燒掉，而不會去吸收它。她是完全純淨的，她無法去吸收這些會污染她的東西，她是無法被污染的。

註一：錫呂瑪塔吉在談昆達里尼時，有時候用女性的"她"(She)，有時候用"它"(It)，譯者原文照翻。譯者："她"應該是表示昆達里尼是較接近陰性的屬性，"它" 則指能量、力量的屬性。

註二：江瑞凱摘譯自Shri Mataji在Chelsham Road Ashram，London的談話1981-05-17。JSM ! 敬請霎哈嘉兄弟姊妹們指正。

Then, this power has got certain qualities.

The first quality it has got, this is ungrahavati, means it goes against the gravity.

It goes against the gravity. You see, a thing rises, it doesn’t go down. So a person who has to be aspiring by nature. If a person is not aspiring type the Kundalini doesn’t rise. Because, like, you see that, when food passes down our stomach it presses the sides of the intestines. By that these movements of going down takes place. Do you see my point?

So when the Kundalini starts, and starts pressing on the sides of the chakras, she creates a feeling of throwing it higher and higher, so the chakras bounce it upward.

All the heavy things, all go downward, but the Kundalini rises higher and higher and higher, because it is like fire. Fire never burns downward. It always burns upward.

She looks also like fire, and she has the capacity of fire within her. The fire has a capacity to purify, and to burn off whatever can be burnt off. It purifies the things which it cannot burn, and burns off the things which are inflammable, which can be burnt out.

So, the quality of fire that exists in the Kundalini burns off whatever is useless. ......

So when the Kundalini rises, She also burns off all useless things that you have, all your useless desires, your useless ideas of action, all sorts of useless accumulation of feelings and egos, and every sort of a nonsensical thing that is in between. Everything is burnt off fast, because they can be burnt, they are not eternal by nature. They are not eternal by nature. They are temporarily there.

All that is temporary, she burns off, and that’s how she enlightens the Spirit, because Spirit cannot be burnt by anything.

But this burning is so beautiful that it burns off all that is bad, stagnating, all that is polluting, all that is a disease, and cools down the system. ......

But Kundalini is such a thing that once she burns off everything that is there, that’s how you get heat, because she’s burning. ......

So the power of Kundalini is to purify, she purifies us like fire. She doesn’t purify us like water, it’s surprising, she doesn’t purify us like water.

Now, water, what does the water do? Water never burns off anything, but it dissolves certain things. It can take in something within itself, you see? It can contain some of the dirt within itself. Supposing you put a color in the water – it assumes the color. But Kundalini does not assume the color. She burns off. Do you follow My point? So, if you have anything wrong within you, she’ll burn it off, but she’ll not absorb – she’s pure. She cannot absorb those things into her that will pollute her. She cannot be polluted.

This quality of fire – say for example, if you put gold in fire, silver in fire, you can purify these things. Their pure form comes in...

無思慮靜觀的空檔

*** 無思慮靜觀的空檔 ***

關於靜坐，我們必須瞭解我們要處在無思慮的靜觀(thoughtless awareness)狀態，當你腦袋有很多思緒時，你是活在未來或是活在過去，而不是活在當下的現在。

當你開始靜坐時，你必須說Nirvichar 的口訣(註一)，這就是無思慮的靜觀狀態，如此你的思緒會延緩拉長(elongate，註二)，在兩個思緒之間會有一個(很小的)空檔，這個空檔就是現在(the present) ！

而且當昆達里尼上升時，她也會使這個空檔變大，如此你就可以在你的靈性上成長得更快，這才是真正的成長方法。這個(昆達里尼的)力量是在你的内裡，她早已經存在(你的三角骨裏面)，而且會更進一步運作、成就。我們也除了個人自行靜坐之外，也必須一起來集體靜坐，因為這是一個整體的工作。

註一：應是這個口訣 "Aum Twamewa Sakshat Nirvichara"，請參見譯文"導師與無思慮(之一)"

註二：Shri Mataji 在其他談話也如此說過，但是''拉長思緒''卻很少被翻譯出來，反而常被翻成''拉開思緒''，譯者以為那是誤譯，因為elongate完全無''拉開''的涵義，它的意思就是伸長、延長。譯者的體驗是：當人進入無思慮的覺知狀態時，人不會在諸多思緒中跳來跳去，頭腦整個沉澱下來，此時的思緒緩慢而像拉長了。請參見譯文"昆達里尼穿越頭蓋骨之後"

Now regarding meditation, one has to understand that we have to be in thoughtless awareness.

When you are thinking then you are in the future or in the past.

But you are not in the present.

But when you start meditating you have to say the mantra Nirvichar

It’s thoughtless awareness.

So your thoughts will elongate and there will be a space in between.

That is the present.

And when the Kundalini rises she also makes it wider.

Then you can grow much faster in your spirituality.

And that is the real way of growing.

This power is within you. It’s there already existing and is working it out, also

But we have to meditate collectively as well as individually.

Collectively because is a work of the whole.
