欲求真理 Desire For Truth

佛陀說慾望是一切痛苦之源。假如慾望無法達成，將會引來挫折與痛苦。甚至假如達成了，亦會令你落得空空如也。
瓦西希塔（Vasishta）說慾望是歡樂之源。只有當你對某物或某人有慾望時，你才會從中獲得歡樂。當你對一樣東西沒有慾望時，你無法從中取得歡樂。舉例而言，一個人既熱又渴時，啜一口涼水會令他高興；但假如不渴時，就不會如此。任何給你歡樂的都會束縛你，而束縛是種痛苦。
古儒吉說當你欲求真理時，其他一切慾望都將消退。你總是欲求某些不存在的，然而真理是永遠存在的！欲求真理會消除所有其他的慾望，而這慾望本身會消失，獨留下無上的喜悅。
252 DESIRE FOR TRUTH
Weekly Knowledge #252 Denpasar,Bali 11 May 2000 Indonesia
Buddha said that desire is the cause of all misery. If your desire does not get fulfilled, it leads to frustration and causes misery. Even if it does get fulfilled, it leaves you empty.
Vasishta said that desire is the cause of pleasure. You get pleasure from an object or a person only when you desire them. When you do not desire an object, you do not get pleasure from it. For example, when a person is hot and thirsty, a sip of cold water gives him pleasure; but not if he is not thirsty. Whatever gives you pleasure binds you and bondage is misery.
Sri Sri says when you desire for truth, all other desires drop off. You always desire for something that is not there. But, truth is always there! Desire for truth removes all other desires and it itself dissolves. And what remains is bliss.
NEWS FLASH
TTC I and TTC II ended on a celebrative note and with that began Guruji's South Asian tour. A well attended live Kriya, followed by a Satsang in a packed auditorium the next day highlighted the Singapore visit.
A lady reporter asked Guruji how many followers he has pointing to the people sitting in from of him; he replied, "I don't have any followers; they are all in front of me and I won't turn my back on anyone".
An Art of Living group presented the scientific research on mental health benefits of Sudarshan Kriya to the United Nation's Non-Governmental Organization Mental Health Committee. It was so well received that the discussion was extended an extra hour.
Jai Guru Dev
