美德 Virtues

美德無法培養。你必需假設它們已經存在。
在薄伽梵歌中，克里希納對阿朱那說：「阿朱那不要悲傷，你天生具有美德。」
尋道者必需記得自己是個天生具有美德的人；否則他不可能成為一個尋道者。
假如你自認自己未具備美德而企圖培養的話，你將會失敗。
通常你以美德作為一種基準，而將自己與別人相比。
不要與別人相比。僅是去認清你所欣賞的別人身上的一切美德，並瞭解那些美德已經以種子的形式存在你身上了，你所需要的只不過是去滋潤它們罷了。
當你認為自己不具有美德時，你就是來自一個匱乏或不足的空間。
凱若琳：喔！因此我們並不需要積極思考！
愛麗絲：反正積極思考無論如何都是行不通的。
古儒吉：積極思考行不通是因為你自認沒有這些美德，就以積極思考的方式想去擁有它們。
因此，凱若琳就確認的說道：你是所有一切美德的家。（笑聲）
262 VIRTUES

Virtues cannot be cultivated. You have to assume that they are there.
In the Gita, Krishna said to Arjuna, "Grieve not Arjuna, you are born with virtues."
The seeker should remember that he is born with virtues; otherwise he could not have been a seeker.
If you think you do not have virtues and then try to cultivate them, you will fail.
You often compare yourself with others on the basis of virtues. Do not compare yourself with them. Simply recognize all the virtues you appreciate in others, and realize that they are already present in you in seed form. You only have to nurture them.
When you think you do not have a virtue, then you come from a space of lack or deficiency.
Caroline: Aho! That is why we don't need positive affirmations!
Alice: Affirmations really don't work anyway.
Sri Sri: Affirmations do not work because you think you do not have those virtues, and with affirmation you try to have them.
And so Caroline affirms: You are the home of all virtues. (laughter)
NEWS FLASH
The Guru Purnima celebrations started with the divine sound of the Guru Puja being chanted by hundreds of devotees from all over the world who traveled here to be in the presence of their beloved master. The next evening, all gathered around Guruji for a cruise to the middle of Lake Tahoe for a celebration of music and sweet silent meditation as the full moon rose over the surrounding peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of eastern Kapillaranya (California).
Jai Guru Dev
