【瑜伽哲思】培养信念的9种方法 9 ways to cultivate faith

斯瓦米·悉达给出了9种培养信念的方法：

1. 多参加Satsang(萨桑，共修），与圣人智者相聚，阅读他们的故事，从中就能感受到宇宙能量的存在。

2. 多唱诵，尤其在担忧，害怕或心情低落的时候。

3. 持咒，念诵，这是与神沟通的方式。

4. 领悟到神无处不在。

5. 供奉神。就象在普迦仪式中为神献花一般。因为爱，就会想给出我们的最好。

6. 每每做事情，都想着神。凡事不为己， 去想着自己只是神的工具。

7. 每日唱诵。唱诵『每日唱诵』来展开新的一天。事前祈祷，让凡事皆变得神圣，处处受福佑而进行顺利。

8. 放下对身体的执着。了解真我不生不死。我们都是永生不朽的阿特曼Atman。

9. 保持信念，每个当下都与神连接。让此生所劳之事都为离开世间之时做准备。相信神无时无刻与己同在，如同最好的朋友，永远在需要时给予支持及陪伴。这样就不会感到无助与孤单。

信念将我们与神连接，恐惧将不复存

We will have no fear as faith will connect us to God

There are 9 ways to cultivate faith：

1. Have more Satsanga. Be with saint and wise person, read stories about them, then we can feel God’s energy in presence.

2. Sing more Kirtan. When we are worry, afraid of something or feel low deep down, we need to sing more.

3. Do japa. Chant mantra. It is way to communicate with God.

4. Realize that God is everywhere.

5. Do offering to God, like in puja, we offer flowers. When we love someone, we offer the best we have. 

6. Think about God whenever we are doing things. We don’t think for ourselves. We think we are just an instrument of God.

7. Chant daily and use daily chant to start the day. Pray before doing to make things become sacred and be blessed to undergo smoothly.

8. Be detach to this body. Know the Self has no birth and death. We are the eternal Atman.

9. Keep in faith and connect with God at every present moment. cultivat this faith and prepare ourselves for the transition to the next plane when leaving this world. Believe God is always with us, just like our best friend will be our accompany and support us when we need. We will not feel helpless or lonely.
