缺乏理想是造成今日年輕人感覺沮喪的主要原因。對於這些過於周怕這競爭的世界,或是沈溺於過多的感官刺激中的孩子們而言,生命似乎是非常沒有意義的。他們需要激勵,而靈性就是那種可以激勵他們保持高昂士氣的東西!
積極是對抗沮喪的特效藥。
如果缺少了戰鬥的熱誠,沮喪就會出現。
沮喪是缺乏能量;而憤怒和積極則是能量的迸放。
當阿朱那處於沮喪時,克里希納激勵他去戰鬥,因而使得阿朱那又重新恢復了生命力。
假如你感到沮喪,不要服用抗憂劑,找個理由奮戰就得了!
假如積極超過了一定的限度,它會把你帶回沮喪中。
這就是發生在阿秀卡國王身上的情形。他在卡令噶戰役中獲勝,但卻變得沮喪。他必須去皈依佛陀。
聰明的是那些不會陷入激進或沮喪中的人。那就是瑜伽行者的黃金定律。
只要醒醒,並認識到你就是個瑜珈行者!
229 Aggression as a means to overcome depression
Weekly Knowledge #229 Indore 26 Nov 1999 India
Lack of idealism is the main cause of depression among the youth today. Life appears to be so meaningless to these children, who are either too scared of the competitive world or bogged down by heavy stimuli. They need an inspiration....
And Spirituality is that inspiration that can keep the spirit up!
Aggression is the antidote to depression.
Depression sets in if there is a lack of zeal to fight.
Depression is lack of energy, and anger and aggression are a bolt of energy.
When Arjuna was depressed, Krishna inspired him to fight and thus reinstated life back in Arjuna. If you are depressed, don't take Prozac - just fight - for any cause!
If aggression crosses a certain limit it leads you back into depression. That's what happened with King Ashoka, who won the Kalinga war but became depressed. He had to take refuge in Buddha.
WISE ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT FALL EITHER INTO AGGRESSION OR DEPRESSION.
That's the golden line of a Yogi.
Just wake up and acknowledge you are a Yogi!
NEWS FLASH
The two Advanced courses in Rishikesh were simply out of this world. Guruji flew for a day to Bangalore for the memorial service of His most beloved Amma. People had come from from all parts of India to pay homage to the great lady who gave Guruji to this world. Guruji did Aarti to Amma's portrait, singing the same song that Amma used to sing when she did Aarti to Him. Tears flowed from everyone. Guruji shared a few anecdotes about Amma; it is no coincidence that Amma left the body on Yama Dwitiya and the Vaikuntha Samaradhana fell on Vaikuntha Chaturdashi day (the day when Godliness wakes up.)
Then He flew back to Delhi where He addressed a mind-boggling satsang for thousands. Then on to Indore, where huge cutouts and welcome arches greeted Guruji. The indoor stadium was packed to its capacity of 20,000. The following day saw over 40,000 people spellbound in meditation at the open-air stadium. This was telecast live on local TV. Guruji has devised a new way of giving darshan - all the 40000 were satisfied - guess how!
