愛和超脫 Love and Renunciation
#210 1999/6/30 加拿大 蒙特婁靜心所
只有超脫的人才能真正的愛。你已超脫的程度就是你能愛的程度。
通常，人們認為超脫者無法愛人，而愛人者無法超脫，這是因為所謂超脫者似乎無法活在愛中，而所謂愛人者極具佔有慾，而且有所不足。
真愛是不具佔有的，而且是會帶來自由的。超脫無非是自由而已。只有在自由中，愛才能夠完全地綻放。當在愛中，你說：「我什麼都不要，我只要這個。」而超脫則說：「我什麼都不要，我是自由的！」在愛中，除此之外，別無它求。超脫是毫無所需。愛和超脫看起來似乎是對立的，但它們其實是一個銅板的兩面。
瑪崑說：它們是銅板的同一面。(笑聲)
塔拉問：這是指愛人者要遺棄他所愛的對象嗎？
古儒吉：你遺棄的是執著、佔有。超脫不會使愛減少，它增進愛。只有超脫可以維持愛和喜悅。沒有超脫，愛會變成痛苦、佔有、嫉妒和憤怒。超脫帶來滿足，而滿足維持著愛。沒有超脫，人會不滿足、會沮喪、悲傷、恐懼、懷疑、分析。因此整齣的連續劇就開始了。這就是我們在社會上所見到的，不是嗎？
一般所謂的超脫者，是沮喪且失望地逃離生活；而真正的超脫，是由知識及智慧而生，一種以時空為背景、浩瀚宇宙為環境的生命知識所產生的。
210 LOVE AND RENUNCIATION
Weekly Knowledge #210 North American Ashram 30 Jun 1999 Quebec,Canada
Only one who has renounced can truly love. To the degree you have renounced, to that degree you have the ability to love.
Often people think those who renounce cannot love, and those who love cannot renounce. This is because so-called renunciants do not seem to be in love, and so-called lovers are very possessive and are in need.
True love is non-possessive and brings freedom, and renunciation is nothing but freedom. Only in freedom can love fully blossom. When in love you say, "I want nothing, I just want this." Renunciation is, " I don't want anything. I am free." In love there is no other need. Renunciation is having no need. Love and renunciation, although appearing to be opposites, are two sides of the same coin.
McQueen said -- They are the same side of the same coin. (laughter)
Tara asked -- Does this mean the lover renounces his beloved?
Guruji responded -- You renounce the attachment, the possessiveness. Renunciation doesn't diminish love; it enhances it.
Only renunciation can sustain love and joy. Without renunciation love turns into misery, possessiveness, jealousy and anger. Renunciation brings contentment and contentment sustains love. Without renunciation one gets discontented, frustrated, sad, fearful, suspicious, analytical. And the whole soap opera begins. And this is what we find in society , don't we?
The so-called renunciants have run away from life frustrated and disappointed. Real renunciation is born out of knowledge and wisdom, knowledge of life in the background of time and space and in the context of this magnanimous universe.
NEWS FLASH There was such a contrast in Shakti Kutir as Guru Dev created the knowledge sheet this week. Profound wisdom was flowing along with the debate and laughter of devotees. Eventually the discussion went haywire. Belma said, "Guruji, you have the purest intellect. Why do you ask us for our opinion? Then it only gets all messed up." Mikey said, "Those who know will know, and those who don't, won't " Tommy said, "Those who don't get it are free!" Finally roaring with laughter some devotees renounced the knowledge sheet to go to dinner.
Last night, at an electrifying Satsang full of uncontrollable laughter and dance, Guruji gave paradoxical knowledge that enlightenment is a journey from heart to head (Of course the talk wasn't taped).
The Clean Gujarat Project has been launched by the devotees from Gujurat. A Yagna was performed in the Bangalore Ashram to bring peace in Kashmir. Two of our teachers will be going to Belgrade and Kosovo.
Jai Guru Dev
