2013年敬師節談話 7月22日加拿大靜心所GURU PURNIMA 2013 WITH SRI SRI http://vimeo.com/70801899Posted July 23, 2013 by Art of Living Blog & filed under Art of Living Wisdom.Extracts of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Guru Purnima message on 22 July 2013 at International Art of Living Center, Canada :Om namah pranavaarthaya shuddhajnanaika murtayeNirmalaaya prashaantaya dakshinamurtaye namahOnce upon a time, a Guru was sitting in a congregation. Guruji gave darshan. Many people came and were taking darshan. Gurudev was silent most of the time and when somebody would come and ask something. One person came to him and said, “I failed in my exam.” Gurudev said, “Well, you are very lucky.” And then the next person came and said, “I lost my job.”He said, “You are very lucky.”The third one came and said, “None of my friends are talking to me, everybody has become my enemy.”He said, “You are very lucky.”Another gentleman came and said, “My wife has left me.” He said, “You are very lucky.”So, everyone kept saying their problems and every time Gurudev said “You are very lucky.”And strangely suddenly something would happen and they would feel happy and walk away,很久之前，有一位大師在法會裡給出祝福。很多人都到會場去領受他的祝福。大多數的時候大師都是保持靜默。有人來問他問題，其中一人問說：「我考試不及格。」大師回答說：「你是很幸運的。」接著另一個人問他：「我沒有工作了。」他回答說：「你是很幸運的。」第三個人問說：「我的朋友都不跟我說話了，每個人都變成了我的敵人。」他回答說：「你是很幸運的。」另一個男士問他：「我老婆離跑了。」他回答說：「你是很幸運的。」大家不斷地說出他們的問題，而大師每次都說：「你是很幸運的。」然而很奇怪的，突然間某些事發生，大家都感到很開心，然後便離開了。________________________________________SRI SRI PERFORMING GURU PUJA DURING GURU PURNIMA 2013 CELEBRATIONS AT MONTREAL ASHRAM________________________________________But then one gentleman came and said, “Gurudev, I am so lucky, I have you in my life. I am so grateful.” And Gurudev got annoyed and gave him one slap. This man with tears and gratitude started dancing.接著有一位男士問他：「大師，我感到好幸運，有你在我的生命中，我好感恩。」大師好生氣並打了他一個耳光。這位男士淚流滿面，感恩地跳起舞來。So, there was a man who was watching all this, got so confused said, “What is this scene? I can’t believe what I am seeing. Someone who came and said I am so grateful and he got a slap. And all those who came and cried, he said you are very lucky. I could not understand.” 有一位先生在旁目睹這一切，心裡非常的困惑地問：「這是什麽情況？我無法相信自己所看見的一切。前來說自己內心充滿感恩的人，卻被打了一個耳光，而那些來哭訴的，大師卻說你是很幸運的。我真的無法理解。」Usually people don’t have gut to ask Gurudev himself, so he went to ask other disciple and devotee, “Hey, tell me what was happening? You have been here for so long. I can’t understand, I can’t make out of Gurudev’s behavior, can you tell me ? It is completely illogical.” 通常人們都沒有膽量直接去問大師，（歡笑）因此他便去問其他的虔信者，「嘿，告訴我這是怎麽一回事？你跟著大師很久了，我無法理解，也想不通大師的作為，請你向我說明好嗎？這根本不合邏輯。」As usual devotees have their own interpretation. (laughter) They all say, “Gurudev said…” So, when he was asked, one of the senior most devotee said, “It was perfect what Gurudev said! When someone came and said he failed in his exam, he said “You are very lucky.” 一如往常，虔信者都有各自的見解。（歡笑）他們都說是「大師說的…」（歡笑）有一位非常資深的虔信者回答說：「有人來告訴大師，他考不及格，大師回答說你是幸運的，大師說的太完美了。」I remember a very senior gentleman in Bangalore Ashram, he came and narrated a incident. He said, “In 1942 there was only one doctor in Bangalore, only one surgeon. And this one surgeon had failed 7 times in the MBBS. 7 times he failed but he became the inventor whenever people had appendix operation, they used to cut particular nerve, a vein so people would die, so people would not understand which vein is there they were cutting. This gentleman discovered that. He was very well known and respected and he got international honor. But he failed 7 times in his MBBS.” So, if someone had failed in his exam, they studied more. If you pass once, you just study once and forget it. But if you are fail, you become very well proficient in that. If you are fail in mathematic, you are really by heartened the whole thing, you will memorize the whole thing. So, every time someone fails in the exam, it is good luck because he will become a better doctor, a better engineer. It means he has to put in more effort in studying the same topic, so he said “You are very lucky. You will study more.”我記得一位非常年長的男士到班加羅爾靜心所，他說了一個事件，「在1942年，班加羅爾只有一位手術醫師，而他卻考了七次才考取醫師執照，但是他卻成為一位發明家。每當人們在進行闌尾炎手術時，醫師都會切除一些特定的神經或靜脈，而導致死亡，但他們並不知道問題出在哪裡。是這位先生發現並決解那個問題，他因此聲名大噪，倍受尊崇，還得到國際的殊榮。但他卻考了七次才考上醫師執照。（歡笑）」因此，如果有人考試不及格，他就會多唸幾次。如果你一考就及格，你只唸一次，之後你就會把它給忘了。然而如果你考不及格，你對那個科目會變得很精通。如果你的數學不及格，你就會很用心並把它背起來。因此，每次只要有人考不及格，那是他的好運，因為他將成為一位更好的醫師或工程師。這表示他會在這個科目更用心地研讀，所以大師說：「你是很幸運的。」你將多研讀一些。Then the other gentleman who came and said, “I lost my job.” He said, “Yes, Gurudev said that, I think when you are in job, you don’t think about yourself. When you lost your job, at least you got the time to sit back and think who you are, what you want, think about your life, you have some time. People are in job, they are running all the time and complaint that they don’t have time, now you got some time. In life getting time itself is a big luck. Getting time to reflect on one self, on divinity, on the truth, on who I am, itself is a big luck.” So, you are lucky you got the time.另一個男士來告訴大師：「我沒有工作了。」虔信者回答說：「我認為大師的意思是當他還在工作時，你不會去探詢本我，然而當他沒了工作，至少他有時間去探詢自己是誰，他真正想要的是什麽，思索人生，現在他有時間了。在工作的人總是忙忙碌碌，抱怨著自己沒有時間，而現在他有時間了。在人生裡擁有時間本身就是一大幸運的事。有時間去思索本我，神性，真理及我是誰，這本身就是一大幸運的事。」所以，你是幸運的，因為你有時間。Another gentleman whose wife ran away, he said, “You are very lucky.”Since so far you are living life insensitive, you did not bother to see what your wife needs. So when she ran away then you realized their value, then you think about what mistake you did. You become aware of the thing that you could have done better so “You are very lucky.” that you become sensitive to woman issue. Why would woman run away? If you have not really attending to her welfare, attending to her emotional, mental and physical needs. There is something you have done wrong that she makes you aware that you have to be sensitive to woman so he understood so he was also happy.對另一位老婆跑掉的男士而言，大師說：「你是很幸運的。」因為他過去一直以來都很不敏銳地在過生活，不曾在意老婆的需求，所以當老婆跑了，他才體會到她的價值，開始思考自己所犯的錯，覺悟到自己可以改進的地方。「你是很幸運的。」他開始對女性議題變得敏銳。為什麽太太會跑掉呢？這顯示他並沒有去照顧到她的福利，照顧她的情緒，精神與生理方面的需求。她只是讓他覺醒到自己所犯的錯，並讓他對女性變得更敏銳，他了解這個道理後，他變得很開心。So, like these in every step in life when you lost something or you gain, you become so miserable and every misery wakes you up.如此，在人生中的每一個階段，當你失去或獲得一些東西時，你都會變得痛苦，而每一個痛苦都會喚醒你。There are three levels of human consciousness, human existence that play. The first is being so inert, inertia, you are so insensitive, so much inertia, you do not feel anything. From inertia when you start realizing there is misery, life is miserable, then (Viveka) discrimination and dispassion (Vairagya) dawn in you. Once dispassion has come into your life, you are the most lucky, so all your friends have left and they have given time for you to reflect on your self, who you are, what you want, what is life, what is truth. So, you are very lucky. So the first step is to realize that everything is miserable, life is miserable, life is sorrow. That’s why people become religious. This is the step. 人類的意識或存在有三個層次：第一個是惰性，你對一切都不敏銳，非常的遲鈍，對任何事物都沒有感覺。從惰性，你開始體會到痛苦，人生是痛苦的，那麽明辨的智慧（Viveka）及不動心（Vairagya）開始顯現。一旦不動心出現在你的人生裡，你是最幸運的人。你的朋友離你而去，他們只是在給你時間去思索本我，你究竟是誰，你想要些什麽，什麽是人生，什麽是真理，所以你是非常幸運的。因此，這一個步驟就是了悟一切都是痛苦的，人生是痛苦的，人生是悲慘的，人們因此變得有宗教信仰，這是第一步。And then the next step is life is all blissful. That is moving from inertia to realize it’s all misery. And from it’s all misery and moving to the step, “Where is misery? Come on! There is when the guru comes into play. The guru’s presence and Guru Tattva (Principle) dawns, the misery vanishes and becomes bliss, total bliss. Life is all bliss, life is a game, life is a Liila. This understanding comes.下一步是人生是充滿喜樂的。那是從惰性往了悟一切皆苦，再從一切皆苦移往這個步驟：哪來的苦？拜託！這正是上師進入你生命的時刻，上師的臨在，上師的精神顯現的時候，痛苦消失了，轉變成喜樂，極樂。人生是充滿喜樂，人生是一場遊戲，是至上的遊戲（麗拉Liila），這份體悟出現了。Now, why did the last person who said I am grateful get a slap? Gurudev gave a slap to him because even there he centered about “I, I am grateful.”so you are the center. Gave a slap so he realized live as though you are not exist. Usually people exist and they don’t live without life. Exist without life is ignorance; living as though you don’t exist is enlightenment. (applause) That one slap woke him up. “I, I, I,.. I am miserable, I am…”where is me? I am not there, live as though you are not there. That message the last gentleman got when he got a slap he became so happy, that what is there to be grateful about! Even to say grateful, there needs to have two. And the master said, “Hey, come on, wake up! You and me, two? One slap for you, (laughter) there is only one! There is no You, there is no I. There is only one Brahman who exists and it is all the drama, all the Liila.”Enjoy, when you realize that, misery vanishes from life. So, every challenge is an opportunity and every opportunity is a step towards divinity. That is all about the story.為什麽最後一位說「我好感恩」還被打了一個耳光呢？大師打了他一個耳光，因為儘管在感恩的狀態裡，他還以＂我，我好感恩＂以自我為中心。大師給他一個耳光，讓他了悟到沒有自我存在地生活。通常人們只是存在著，並沒在生活，那是沒有生命的存在著。沒有生命地存在著是無知；彷彿自己不存在地在生活是開悟。（鼓掌喝采）（Exist without life is ignorance; living as though you don’t exist is enlightenment.）那一個耳光喚醒了他。＂我，我，我，我很痛苦，我…＂我究竟在哪裡？我已不存在了，沒有我的存在的生活。這是最後那男士所得到的訊息，當他被打了一個耳光，他變得好開心，哪還有什麽感恩呢！感恩需要二元，而大師說：「嘿，拜託醒過來！你跟我，二元？」給你一個耳光，（歡笑）只有一體存在，根本沒有你，沒有我的存在，只有至上意識（Brahman梵天）存在，這一切都是一場話劇，至上的遊戲。去享受人生，當你了悟，痛苦將從人生中消失。因此，每一個挑戰都是一個機會，而每一個機會都讓你往神性邁進。這個故事到此為止。One more story. (applause) You know world is like the 5 fingers, you may have heard many times, right? Every finger is different, no two fingers are same. Once all fingers got into trouble, they are arguing who is great among themselves. (Guruji shows a thumb up posture) The thumb says, “I am the greatest, I am the whenever people win, they only show me.”What do they show? If you want to say, “Go ahead.” They give me this signal. Everybody shows me because I am the greatest, I am the real stuff. Impression, even when someone is not steady, they will take thumb down so thumb says I am the greatest.想再聽一個故事嗎？（鼓掌喝采）這個世界就像五根手指，你們可能都聽過很多次了，對嗎？每一根手指都不一樣，沒有兩根手指是一樣的。有一次五指面對一些問題，它們在爭辯誰最偉大。大姆指說：「我是最偉大的，每當人們勝利的時候，他們都把大姆指豎起來。」他們會怎麽比呢？當你想叫人們繼續下去，他們都會把我給豎起來，每個人都在比我，因為我是最偉大的，最了不起的。當有人表現不好的時候，他們會比姆指朝下，所以大姆指就我是最偉大的。Then the index finger says, “Come on, when people want to indicate, they will indicate like this, not using the thumb. They will show you like this. (Index finger pointing out) Anybody who has wisdom, they always show, they show the path, so I am the one who gives direction to life, I am the one who gives direction to anything in life, so I am greatest.”接著食指就說：「當人們要指示一些東西的時候，他們都會這樣比（食指往外），他們不會有姆指，他們會這樣比（食指往外）。任何一個有智慧的人，他們都會這樣比，他們指引人們正確的道路，所以我是給人生方向，我是為生命中任何事物帶來方向的，所以我最偉大。」Then the middle finger says, “You all must be blind. Just hold all the fingers together, who stands tall? I am the tallest, why you unnecessarily argue. This is like arguing there is sun in the noon. I am always there tallest.中指接著說：「你們一定都瞎了，只要把所有的手指擺在一起，誰最高呢？我是最高的，你們何苦在爭辯呢，這就像在爭辯中午是有太陽的一樣，我就是最高的。」And then the ring finger say, “I can only laugh for you all. Where do people decorate? Where do they put the jewels? You know, one who is the highest to whom they give all the jewels. Nobody gives jewel to the thumb. The ring is always worn by the ring finger so he says I am the highest. The world all over they recognize. I am the greatest.無名指接著說：「我真是為你們感到可笑，人們會把珠寶帶在什麽地方呢？你們知道嗎，只有最高尚的人，人們才會為他配戴珠寶，沒有人會把珠寶戴在姆指上。戒指總是戴在無名指上的，所以我是最高尚的，全世界都認同，所以我是最偉大的。」The little finger is simply laughing and all other four ask him, “Why are you laughing?”You know, whenever a dignitary comes who is kept in front? (Guruji puts both the palms together which only the little finger is visible). When someone goes to the temple to pray or to go in front of god, who is kept in front of god? The highest is in front of god first, so nobody does like this. (palms together but twisted so that the thumb is visible) Everyone prays like this so I am the closest to god. Whoever is closest to god is the greatest. So it says, “I am the closest to god so I am the greatest.”尾指就大笑，而其它的手指就問它：「你為什麽在笑呢？」你們知道嗎，每當有貴賓出現時，誰會在前面呢？（古儒吉合掌，最先看見的就是尾指）當人們到寺廟或神的面前去祈求，是誰被擺在神的面前呢？總是最崇高的先被擺在神的面前，不會有人這樣做（古儒吉合掌並把手掌扭轉姆指朝外）。每個人都是這樣在祈禱的（古儒吉合掌），所以我是最接近神的。任何最接近神的就是最偉大的，而我是最接近神的，所以我是最偉大的。All the fingers have their own way to say that they are the greatest. So recognize the greatness in you and recognize the greatness in others. And then there is no you, there is no others that is Namaste. (applause) That is fullness. So Guru Purnima is being celebrated very nice, we will have other program, swamiji is going to speak also for a few minutes. 每根手指都有各自的說詞來證明自己是最偉大的。因此你要認出自己的偉大之處，也要認出別人的偉大之處。接著是，沒有你的存在，也沒有別人的存在，那就合什禮敬（Namaste）的意義，那就完滿，敬師節因此而被慶祝。我們也會有其他的節目，Swamiji也將和大家說幾分鐘。Just remember these points: from inertia to realize the misery, Buddha took you from there to there. And from where the misery is and move on to bliss. You are blissful, all are bliss is the Vedanta. Shoonyata and Poornata, meditation and celebration are there, they all go together so today is a celebration of both meditation and celebration.記得這些知識要點：從惰性到了悟痛苦，佛陀帶領你從這裡到那裡。接著再從痛苦到極樂，你就是喜樂的，一切皆是極樂就是不二哲學（Vedanta吠譚多）。Shoonyata and Poornata，靜心與歡慶，兩者並行，所以今天是一個靜心與歡慶的敬師節。Jai Guru Dev司儀說：Gurudev, life with you is truly blissful. We have over 4100 connections古儒吉，生命中有了你才是真正的喜樂。我們現在有超過四千一百個連線。View complete video of Gurudev’s Guru Purnima 2013 talk here 阿俊老師翻譯分享

(laughter) They all say, “Gurudev said…” So, when he was asked, one of the senior most devotee said, “It was perfect what Gurudev said! When someone came and said he failed in his exam, he said “You are very lucky.” 一如往常，虔信者都有各自的見解。（歡笑）他們都說是「大師說的…」（歡笑）有一位非常資深的虔信者回答說：「有人來告訴大師，他考不及格，大師回答說你是幸運的，大師說的太完美了。」I remember a very senior gentleman in Bangalore Ashram, he came and narrated a incident. He said, “In 1942 there was only one doctor in Bangalore, only one surgeon. And this one surgeon had failed 7 times in the MBBS. 7 times he failed but he became the inventor whenever people had appendix operation, they used to cut particular nerve, a vein so people would die, so people would not understand which vein is there they were cutting. This gentleman discovered that. He was very well known and respected and he got international honor. But he failed 7 times in his MBBS.” So, if someone had failed in his exam, they studied more. If you pass once, you just study once and forget it. But if you are fail, you become very well proficient in that. If you are fail in mathematic, you are really by heartened the whole thing, you will memorize the whole thing. So, every time someone fails in the exam, it is good luck because he will become a better doctor, a better engineer. It means he has to put in more effort in studying the same topic, so he said “You are very lucky. You will study more.”我記得一位非常年長的男士到班加羅爾靜心所，他說了一個事件，「在1942年，班加羅爾只有一位手術醫師，而他卻考了七次才考取醫師執照，但是他卻成為一位發明家。每當人們在進行闌尾炎手術時，醫師都會切除一些特定的神經或靜脈，而導致死亡，但他們並不知道問題出在哪裡。是這位先生發現並決解那個問題，他因此聲名大噪，倍受尊崇，還得到國際的殊榮。但他卻考了七次才考上醫師執照。（歡笑）」因此，如果有人考試不及格，他就會多唸幾次。如果你一考就及格，你只唸一次，之後你就會把它給忘了。然而如果你考不及格，你對那個科目會變得很精通。如果你的數學不及格，你就會很用心並把它背起來。因此，每次只要有人考不及格，那是他的好運，因為他將成為一位更好的醫師或工程師。這表示他會在這個科目更用心地研讀，所以大師說：「你是很幸運的。」你將多研讀一些。Then the other gentleman who came and said, “I lost my job.” He said, “Yes, Gurudev said that, I think when you are in job, you don’t think about yourself. When you lost your job, at least you got the time to sit back and think who you are, what you want, think about your life, you have some time. People are in job, they are running all the time and complaint that they don’t have time, now you got some time. In life getting time itself is a big luck. Getting time to reflect on one self, on divinity, on the truth, on who I am, itself is a big luck.” So, you are lucky you got the time.另一個男士來告訴大師：「我沒有工作了。」虔信者回答說：「我認為大師的意思是當他還在工作時，你不會去探詢本我，然而當他沒了工作，至少他有時間去探詢自己是誰，他真正想要的是什麽，思索人生，現在他有時間了。在工作的人總是忙忙碌碌，抱怨著自己沒有時間，而現在他有時間了。在人生裡擁有時間本身就是一大幸運的事。有時間去思索本我，神性，真理及我是誰，這本身就是一大幸運的事。」所以，你是幸運的，因為你有時間。Another gentleman whose wife ran away, he said, “You are very lucky.”Since so far you are living life insensitive, you did not bother to see what your wife needs. So when she ran away then you realized their value, then you think about what mistake you did. You become aware of the thing that you could have done better so “You are very lucky.” that you become sensitive to woman issue. Why would woman run away? If you have not really attending to her welfare, attending to her emotional, mental and physical needs. There is something you have done wrong that she makes you aware that you have to be sensitive to woman so he understood so he was also happy.對另一位老婆跑掉的男士而言，大師說：「你是很幸運的。」因為他過去一直以來都很不敏銳地在過生活，不曾在意老婆的需求，所以當老婆跑了，他才體會到她的價值，開始思考自己所犯的錯，覺悟到自己可以改進的地方。「你是很幸運的。」他開始對女性議題變得敏銳。為什麽太太會跑掉呢？這顯示他並沒有去照顧到她的福利，照顧她的情緒，精神與生理方面的需求。她只是讓他覺醒到自己所犯的錯，並讓他對女性變得更敏銳，他了解這個道理後，他變得很開心。So, like these in every step in life when you lost something or you gain, you become so miserable and every misery wakes you up.如此，在人生中的每一個階段，當你失去或獲得一些東西時，你都會變得痛苦，而每一個痛苦都會喚醒你。There are three levels of human consciousness, human existence that play. The first is being so inert, inertia, you are so insensitive, so much inertia, you do not feel anything. From inertia when you start realizing there is misery, life is miserable, then (Viveka) discrimination and dispassion (Vairagya) dawn in you. Once dispassion has come into your life, you are the most lucky, so all your friends have left and they have given time for you to reflect on your self, who you are, what you want, what is life, what is truth. So, you are very lucky. So the first step is to realize that everything is miserable, life is miserable, life is sorrow. That’s why people become religious. This is the step. 人類的意識或存在有三個層次：第一個是惰性，你對一切都不敏銳，非常的遲鈍，對任何事物都沒有感覺。從惰性，你開始體會到痛苦，人生是痛苦的，那麽明辨的智慧（Viveka）及不動心（Vairagya）開始顯現。一旦不動心出現在你的人生裡，你是最幸運的人。你的朋友離你而去，他們只是在給你時間去思索本我，你究竟是誰，你想要些什麽，什麽是人生，什麽是真理，所以你是非常幸運的。因此，這一個步驟就是了悟一切都是痛苦的，人生是痛苦的，人生是悲慘的，人們因此變得有宗教信仰，這是第一步。And then the next step is life is all blissful. That is moving from inertia to realize it’s all misery. And from it’s all misery and moving to the step, “Where is misery? Come on! There is when the guru comes into play. The guru’s presence and Guru Tattva (Principle) dawns, the misery vanishes and becomes bliss, total bliss. Life is all bliss, life is a game, life is a Liila. This understanding comes.下一步是人生是充滿喜樂的。那是從惰性往了悟一切皆苦，再從一切皆苦移往這個步驟：哪來的苦？拜託！這正是上師進入你生命的時刻，上師的臨在，上師的精神顯現的時候，痛苦消失了，轉變成喜樂，極樂。人生是充滿喜樂，人生是一場遊戲，是至上的遊戲（麗拉Liila），這份體悟出現了。Now, why did the last person who said I am grateful get a slap? Gurudev gave a slap to him because even there he centered about “I, I am grateful.”so you are the center. Gave a slap so he realized live as though you are not exist. Usually people exist and they don’t live without life. Exist without life is ignorance; living as though you don’t exist is enlightenment. (applause) That one slap woke him up. “I, I, I,.. I am miserable, I am…”where is me? I am not there, live as though you are not there. That message the last gentleman got when he got a slap he became so happy, that what is there to be grateful about! Even to say grateful, there needs to have two. And the master said, “Hey, come on, wake up! You and me, two? One slap for you, (laughter) there is only one! There is no You, there is no I. There is only one Brahman who exists and it is all the drama, all the Liila.”Enjoy, when you realize that, misery vanishes from life. So, every challenge is an opportunity and every opportunity is a step towards divinity. That is all about the story.為什麽最後一位說「我好感恩」還被打了一個耳光呢？大師打了他一個耳光，因為儘管在感恩的狀態裡，他還以＂我，我好感恩＂以自我為中心。大師給他一個耳光，讓他了悟到沒有自我存在地生活。通常人們只是存在著，並沒在生活，那是沒有生命的存在著。沒有生命地存在著是無知；彷彿自己不存在地在生活是開悟。（鼓掌喝采）（Exist without life is ignorance; living as though you don’t exist is enlightenment.）那一個耳光喚醒了他。＂我，我，我，我很痛苦，我…＂我究竟在哪裡？我已不存在了，沒有我的存在的生活。這是最後那男士所得到的訊息，當他被打了一個耳光，他變得好開心，哪還有什麽感恩呢！感恩需要二元，而大師說：「嘿，拜託醒過來！你跟我，二元？」給你一個耳光，（歡笑）只有一體存在，根本沒有你，沒有我的存在，只有至上意識（Brahman梵天）存在，這一切都是一場話劇，至上的遊戲。去享受人生，當你了悟，痛苦將從人生中消失。因此，每一個挑戰都是一個機會，而每一個機會都讓你往神性邁進。這個故事到此為止。One more story. (applause) You know world is like the 5 fingers, you may have heard many times, right? Every finger is different, no two fingers are same. Once all fingers got into trouble, they are arguing who is great among themselves. (Guruji shows a thumb up posture) The thumb says, “I am the greatest, I am the whenever people win, they only show me.”What do they show? If you want to say, “Go ahead.” They give me this signal. Everybody shows me because I am the greatest, I am the real stuff. Impression, even when someone is not steady, they will take thumb down so thumb says I am the greatest.想再聽一個故事嗎？（鼓掌喝采）這個世界就像五根手指，你們可能都聽過很多次了，對嗎？每一根手指都不一樣，沒有兩根手指是一樣的。有一次五指面對一些問題，它們在爭辯誰最偉大。大姆指說：「我是最偉大的，每當人們勝利的時候，他們都把大姆指豎起來。」他們會怎麽比呢？當你想叫人們繼續下去，他們都會把我給豎起來，每個人都在比我，因為我是最偉大的，最了不起的。當有人表現不好的時候，他們會比姆指朝下，所以大姆指就我是最偉大的。Then the index finger says, “Come on, when people want to indicate, they will indicate like this, not using the thumb. They will show you like this. (Index finger pointing out) Anybody who has wisdom, they always show, they show the path, so I am the one who gives direction to life, I am the one who gives direction to anything in life, so I am greatest.”接著食指就說：「當人們要指示一些東西的時候，他們都會這樣比（食指往外），他們不會有姆指，他們會這樣比（食指往外）。任何一個有智慧的人，他們都會這樣比，他們指引人們正確的道路，所以我是給人生方向，我是為生命中任何事物帶來方向的，所以我最偉大。」Then the middle finger says, “You all must be blind. Just hold all the fingers together, who stands tall? I am the tallest, why you unnecessarily argue. This is like arguing there is sun in the noon. I am always there tallest.中指接著說：「你們一定都瞎了，只要把所有的手指擺在一起，誰最高呢？我是最高的，你們何苦在爭辯呢，這就像在爭辯中午是有太陽的一樣，我就是最高的。」And then the ring finger say, “I can only laugh for you all. Where do people decorate? Where do they put the jewels? You know, one who is the highest to whom they give all the jewels. Nobody gives jewel to the thumb. The ring is always worn by the ring finger so he says I am the highest. The world all over they recognize. I am the greatest.無名指接著說：「我真是為你們感到可笑，人們會把珠寶帶在什麽地方呢？你們知道嗎，只有最高尚的人，人們才會為他配戴珠寶，沒有人會把珠寶戴在姆指上。戒指總是戴在無名指上的，所以我是最高尚的，全世界都認同，所以我是最偉大的。」The little finger is simply laughing and all other four ask him, “Why are you laughing?”You know, whenever a dignitary comes who is kept in front? (Guruji puts both the palms together which only the little finger is visible). When someone goes to the temple to pray or to go in front of god, who is kept in front of god? The highest is in front of god first, so nobody does like this. (palms together but twisted so that the thumb is visible) Everyone prays like this so I am the closest to god. Whoever is closest to god is the greatest. So it says, “I am the closest to god so I am the greatest.”尾指就大笑，而其它的手指就問它：「你為什麽在笑呢？」你們知道嗎，每當有貴賓出現時，誰會在前面呢？（古儒吉合掌，最先看見的就是尾指）當人們到寺廟或神的面前去祈求，是誰被擺在神的面前呢？總是最崇高的先被擺在神的面前，不會有人這樣做（古儒吉合掌並把手掌扭轉姆指朝外）。每個人都是這樣在祈禱的（古儒吉合掌），所以我是最接近神的。任何最接近神的就是最偉大的，而我是最接近神的，所以我是最偉大的。All the fingers have their own way to say that they are the greatest. So recognize the greatness in you and recognize the greatness in others. And then there is no you, there is no others that is Namaste. (applause) That is fullness. So Guru Purnima is being celebrated very nice, we will have other program, swamiji is going to speak also for a few minutes. 每根手指都有各自的說詞來證明自己是最偉大的。因此你要認出自己的偉大之處，也要認出別人的偉大之處。接著是，沒有你的存在，也沒有別人的存在，那就合什禮敬（Namaste）的意義，那就完滿，敬師節因此而被慶祝。我們也會有其他的節目，Swamiji也將和大家說幾分鐘。Just remember these points: from inertia to realize the misery, Buddha took you from there to there. And from where the misery is and move on to bliss. You are blissful, all are bliss is the Vedanta. Shoonyata and Poornata, meditation and celebration are there, they all go together so today is a celebration of both meditation and celebration.記得這些知識要點：從惰性到了悟痛苦，佛陀帶領你從這裡到那裡。接著再從痛苦到極樂，你就是喜樂的，一切皆是極樂就是不二哲學（Vedanta吠譚多）。Shoonyata and Poornata，靜心與歡慶，兩者並行，所以今天是一個靜心與歡慶的敬師節。Jai Guru Dev司儀說：Gurudev, life with you is truly blissful. We have over 4100 connections古儒吉，生命中有了你才是真正的喜樂。我們現在有超過四千一百個連線。View complete video of Gurudev’s Guru Purnima 2013 talk here
