死亡與靈性 Death And Spirituality
228 1999/11/18 印度 瑞希克西
死亡使你與生命的真相接觸。
死亡造成真空,一種空。
空是靈性顯現的沃土。
一切才華、發明與創造皆源自空。
創造有一種回歸空的趨勢。
巴拉特:一切問題皆來自當我們想要逃避空的時候。(笑聲)
所有宗教的禮拜所皆與土葬或火葬的場所有關,因為唯有死亡的覺知才能帶出不動心並使你穩固於知識之中。
印度神話故事中,希瓦神的居所位於凱拉薩山上(Mount Kailasa),也在撒瑪沙納(火葬場──Smashana)上。凱拉薩意味「只有慶祝的所在」,而撒瑪沙納意味「只有空的所在」。
因此,神以空為居所,也以慶典為居所。你的內在有空,你的內在有慶典。
228 Death and Spirituality
Weekly Knowledge #228 Rishikesh 18 Nov 1999 India
Death brings you in touch with the reality of life.
Death creates a vacuum, a void.
Void is the fertile ground for the spirit to manifest.
All talents, invention, creativity springs forth from the void, and creation has a tendency to return to the void.
Bharat says, "All the problems come when you avoid the void." (Laughter)
All the places of worship in all religions are connected with places of burial/cremation, as the awareness of death alone can bring dispassion and make you well grounded in knowledge.
According to the Indian mythology, the abode of Shiva is in Mount Kailasa as well as in Smashana (the cremation ground).
Kailasa means "where there is only celebration", and Smashana is where there is only void.
Thus the Divinity dwells in the void as well as in celebration.
And in you there is void, in you there is celebration.
NEWS FLASH
Art Excel children avoided sweets, colas and fireworks this Diwali festival and saved the money to sponsor kids for the tribal school.
In the Rishikesh Advanced course hall there is no void, but only celebration!
Profound knowledge and immense love are radiating from Guruji.
Memorial satsang for Amma has been scheduled for 21st November.
In a devotee's house in Bhubaneshwar, Orissa, Guruji's photograph turned red just before the cyclone and returned to normalcy after the cyclone was over. Some devotees from Orissa actually made it to Rishikesh despite the catastrophic conditions in the state. One lady shared that she was in a meeting with about 50 people, when she felt that Guruji was sending her a message. Closing her eyes, she prayed to Guruji and then immediately advised everyone to evacuate the city. Later it was discovered that the entire area, including that building, was submerged in the deluge. She thanked Guruji with tears of gratitude for saving their lives.
Our volunteers are already engaged in seva and relief work in Orissa.
Jai Guru Dev
