至福的源泉 ——2015年6月2日，印度班加罗尔。以下由印地语翻译成英文稿，再译为中文。 今天是Purnima，月圆日，却是个多云的夜晚。生命也会如此：你美丽无瑕，如同满月，但如同云会遮住月亮，惰性与消极会遮蔽你。当你的生命沐浴在恩典之中，所有云朵飘散而去，消失殆尽，一个全然绽放的月亮开始显现。 （注：Purnima在印度—尼泊尔词汇里是满月的意思） 同样的，知识也会被被遮蔽。你要知道：无论何时，我们的痛苦，不满与焦躁，会象纱帘一样挡在眼前，令我们无法看到知识之光，对神性视而不见。这是我们会被无明包围的原因。悲伤与痛苦的幻影会被夸大，它占据了你，让你倍觉无助。不管生命有什么恐惧，都是眼中忧虑与痛苦的幻影，而我们却与这幻影不断抗争。我们如何解脱？只须转向光明，接近上师。一旦接近上师，包围我们的无明将很快散去，我们曾经与之抗争的幻影也化为乌有。 有一种说法，人应当把心智和世界看成是神性的一部分。当你把整个世界看成是神性的一部分时，会发生什么？一个人会停止对世界的依恋，愤怒和贪婪、牢牢攫取你的欲望之火亦将不再控制你。这是经验过的实相，而不止是肤浅的说教。你应为你自己的生命经验这些。 我们常说，心智多变，永无止歇。为什么会这样？因为心智一直在追寻更大的快乐与更多的喜悦，它永远在追寻着最高的喜悦。我们如何能得到这样的喜悦？我们常认为，进入最好的公司、得到高级的职位就会快乐。一两个人给你戴了高帽，你就飘飘然，似乎已无比喜悦。要知道，在他人或者外物上寻找有限的快乐，这是心智上的幻觉和倾向。当你领悟这一点，同时就会明白，神性是喜悦最终的源泉。你也会领悟，你与神性之间并无距离，只有那个“一”的存在，你会感觉你与神性俱为一体，整个世界也是由神性构成。如此而已。你只须提醒自己，这是万物的本质。当你认识到这一点，一切痛苦将烟消云散。 The Source Of True Happiness Tue 06/02/2015 Bangalore, India It is Purnima (Full moon day) today, but it is very cloudy. This is how it is in life also. You are beautiful and pure just like a full moon, but that is not visible because of the clouds (here meaning inertia and negativity). When grace starts showering in life, all these clouds start to move away and disappear, and then the fully blossomed moon becomes visible. In the same way, there is a veil (of ignorance) over knowledge. Just understand this: Whenever we are miserable, discontent, and restless, in those moments there is a veil or curtain over our vision, and we are facing away from the light (of knowledge). We are facing away from the light of God in such times, which is why we feel surrounded by darkness. At such times our shadow (of sorrow or misery) appears large and we feel afraid just by looking at it. Whenever we experience some fear in life, it is because of the shadow (of worry or misery) that we see. And we keep struggling and fighting against the shadow. So what do we need to do to overcome this? We need to simply turn towards the light; towards the Guru. The instant we turn to the light, in a matter of seconds the darkness around us disappears, and the shadow we were fighting with also vanishes. It is said that one should consider the mind and the world as a part of the Divine. What happens when you see the entire world as a part of the Divine? The attachment that one has towards the world comes to an end. Your anger, and greed vanish, and the feverishness of your desires that grips you also comes to an end. This is experiential truth. It is not superficial talk. You should experience this for yourself in your life. We often say that the mind is very fickle and restless. Why is it so? It is because the mind always seeks greater pleasure and more joy. It is always in pursuit of the highest joy. How can we get that joy? We often think that we can get such joy by being with a particular kind of company; or by getting some high post, etc. When a handful of people speak lofty praises about you, you tend to feel so elevated as if you are getting some great joy. This delusion or tendency of the mind (to find limited pleasure in objects and people) needs to be understood first. When you understand this, then at the same time you will also realize that the Divine is the greatest source of happiness. And then you realize that there is no distance between you and the Divine. There is total oneness and you feel that you and the Divine are the same, and the whole world is made up of the Divine. That’s it. This is the essence of everything. Just keep reminding yourself about this. When you realize this, all misery disappears. |
