實相 Truth
257 2000/06/15 德國 德國靜心所
實相是那恆久不變的。審視你的生命,並認清一切無常的皆非實相。有此見地,則你將發現環繞著自己的只是假相而已。
當你看清假相時,就會從中跳脫出來;無法認清假相時,你就無法跳脫出來。你自己的人生經驗使你認清自己的假相。
當你的生命成熟時,會發現一切皆是假相──事件、情況、人物、情緒、思想、意見、觀念、自己的身體──一切皆是假相。只有那唱場,亦即實相的伴隨,它的真義才會出現。舉例而言:母親在小孩長大成人之前無法明白小孩是假相。對於幼兒而言,糖果並非假相;對於青少年而言,性並非假相。
問:知識是否也是假相?
古儒吉:是的,假如那是言語就是假相,但就其存在而言,則是實相。愛是種情緒時,並非實相;愛就其存在而言時,則是實相。
257 TRUTH
Weekly Knowledge #257 Bad Antogast 15 Jun 2000 Germany
Truth is that which does not change. Examine your life and identify all that changes as not truth. With this outlook, you will find that you are surrounded by only untruth.
When you identify that which appears to you as untruth, then you will become free from it. When you don't identify the untruth, you cannot become free from it. Your own experiences in life make you identify your own untruth. As you mature in life, you find everything is untruth - events, situations, people, emotions, thoughts, opinions, concepts, your body - everything is untruth. It is only then the satsang (company of truth) in the real sense happens.
For example, a mother cannot see the child as untruth until the child becomes an adult. For a baby sweet is not untruth, and for a teenager sex is not untruth.
Question: Is Knowledge also untruth?
Sri Sri: Yes, if it is words, it is untruth. But as existence it is truth. Love as an emotion is not truth, as existence it is truth.
NEWS FLASH

This is just a reminder that you still have time to register your children for the ART Excel Sierra Camp and register yourself for ART Excel teacher training this summer at Lake Tahoe. Teacher training will be held during the first week only (July 8-16).
The ART Excel Sierra Camp is going to be a blast this year! We have some great activities planned! Some of these are hiking (including map reading and survival skills), sailing, canoeing, bike riding, scavenger hunts, bodywork and a possible overnight campout. Participants will explore the depth of the knowledge and grace through fun and exciting activities.
