信心：意識的本質 Faith：Nature of Consciousness
#205 1999/5/27 德國靜心所
不管你對什麼有信心，千萬不要讓它成為一種理解的對象。對於你已有信心的東西，你並不需要去理解它。
假如你對神有信心，不要企圖去理解神。神與本我並非是理解的對象。而那種你將之視為理解之對象的，你無法對之有信心。
就像小孩相信媽媽一樣，小孩不會企圖去理解媽媽，他純粹只是相信媽媽。你無法把愛變成一種理解的對象。假如你試著要這樣做時，愛將會消失。
你慾想將自己已經相信的當成理解的對象，那種想去理解的好奇心會阻礙信心。通常兩個已經相戀的人，他們並未拋除好奇心。好奇心就逐漸地腐蝕掉他們的信心與愛。
信心是無法解析的，知識是解析的，神、愛、睡眠和本我是超越理解的。假如你企圖分析，就會產生疑惑。一旦你把某事變成理解的對象時，分析就開始。
尼克：神對我們有信心嗎？
古儒吉：我不知道！！（笑聲，非常的不具分析性）
要知道神是否相信，你必須去分析，而在問這個問題時，你就給了神一個心智，而那是不存在的。
芭芭拉：人會有信心而不自覺嗎？
古儒吉：是的，人有信心。信心是鬆弛的、合一的意識之本質。
205 FAITH: A QUALITY OF UNDIVIDED CONSCIOUSNESS
Weekly Knowledge #205 Bad Antogast 27 May 1999 Germany
That in which you have faith, do not make it an object of knowing. Faith is the nature of undivided mind, undivided consciousness. We have faith in God, do not try to know God. We have faith in Self, do not try to know Self. You can't have faith in that which you make an object of knowing. A thing to know is an object of knowing. You have made it into an object of knowing. Whatever you have faith in, you do not need to know about it. Do not make that something you have faith in, an object of knowing. Like you have faith in God, you cannot make God an object of knowing; like you have faith in yourself, you can't make the Self an object of knowing.
Q. Are faith and belief the same?
Guruji: Belief is a little diluted, faith is little strong, more concrete. Our beliefs can change, faith is firm. Faith is yogurt, belief is buttermilk. (Laughter....)
Like a child has faith in the mother, the child does not make the mother into an object of knowing. The child does not try to know the mother, it simply has faith in the mother. When you have faith, what is the need to know it? You cannot make love an object of knowing, if you try to make love an object of knowing, if you try to know it, it will disappear.
In the same way you cannot make Self, or God an object of knowing. God, love, sleep, and Self are beyond knowing. If you try to analyze, doubt comes in and faith will disappear. So whatever you want to have faith in, do not want to know it or analyze it. The moment you make something an object of knowing then analysis starts and then doubt follows. Analysis creates a distance, synthesis brings it together. Faith is synthesis, knowing is analysis.
Barbara: Can you have faith without being aware of it?
Guruji: Yes. You have faith. Consciousness cannot exist without faith. Faith is a relaxed, stable, quality of consciousness. It is like the flame of a candle. The nature of consciousness is faith.
Theologians analyze too much. They study 5 to 6 years and then they lose their faith.
A story: Jyoti once met an officer in-charge of religious affairs. The minister was so sure that no one can have spiritual experiences. She gave him a short talk on spirituality and she concluded by saying, "I believe in what I experience." His comment was, "I am glad to hear that you too are an
atheist!" Another ANALYSIS by a theologian has recently concluded that Jesus never existed.
Nick: Does God have faith in us?
Guruji: I don't know?!! (Laughter - very non-analytical!!) To know whether God has faith or not, you have to analyze. If you ask whether God has faith in us then you give God also a mind, which is not true.
NEWS FLASH: The guru as usual with his love and grace charmed the French people in their capital city. After the wonderful course in Paris everyone went for Satsang in the boat on the river Seine. The following evening many ambassadors and dignitaries attended a conference on human values which Guruji addressed. For the first time there will be Ayurvedic treatment combined with the basic course at the end of July. This will be a one week residential course in Bad Antogast, which is still sparkling with the guru's presence!
Jai Guru Dev
