有句梵文諺語這樣說:沒有人給你帶來快樂或悲慘,它是由你自己、自己的心智創造出來的。當有人要對你訴說「問題」時,你就轉個彎,往另一個方向走開,告訴那個人,「自己的問題自己去處理。」然後,那人的獨立就來了,一個人的自我信賴就出現了。這正是一個人如何讓自己變得自給自足的方法。
我所講的這一切,都是對所有已經走在這道上的人說的。「古儒吉說的,讓他們自己去處理,所以就沒有我的事了。」假如你的車還有座位,你就應該幫忙,慈悲在這種時候是需要的,但不是用在你身邊的人際關係裡;當你要與人連結時,隨機的行善是必要的。對你不熟悉的人展現慈悲,對不動心展現熱情。只要去看看,你自己的心智攪進別人的感覺、緊張、悲慘及不快樂的泥淖中時,你是怎麼做的?你走到了什麼地步去?你發生過什麼樣的事?你完完全全地被擊潰。切斷一切包圍著你的網絡,包圍著你的繩索,只保留唯一的一條——那條與神連結的繩子。
⋯⋯即使到了這種地步,也不要說這種話,「古儒吉連一眼都沒有看我,也許神正在生我的氣。」不是的,每一件事都是神賜予的禮物,如果我被解雇,那也是神的禮物;如果我被罵,它是神的禮物。每一件事都是神賜予的禮物,這種態度是最棒的態度。所以,沒有關注—沒有壓力。很好。(全文完)
You Can’t Make Anybody Happy(三)
There is a Sanskrit proverb that says ‘Kashtasya sukasya nakopi data’ –nobody gives happiness or misery. It is created by one’s own self, one’s own mind. When someone says ‘problem’, just turn and run in the other direction. Say, “You deal with your own problem.” Then independence comes, Self-dependence comes in people and that is how you make yourself self-sufficient.
I am talking about this to sadhaks, to all of you, who are already on the path. “Guruji said let them deal with it, I am out of it.” If you have space in your car, you should help them. Compassion is needed there, but not in relationships. When you are relation with people, random acts of compassion are essential. Be compassionate with someone whom you do not know. Be passionate about dispassion. Just see your own mind gets bogged down by others’ feelings, tensions, miseries and unhappiness. What can you do? Where have you gone? What has happened to you? You are completely shattered, cut all these cobwebs around you, all these strings around you, keep only one string-to the Divine.
Even there, don’t say, “Guruji didn’t look at me, maybe God is angry with me,” No. Everything is prasad; if I am kicked out, it is also prasad; if I am scolded, it is prasad. Everything is prasad, this attitude is the best attitude. So, no attention - no tension. Good.
