情慾的昇華 Sublimating Lust
#182 1998/12/3 印度 高清
情慾是許多人所面臨的主要困擾。情慾緊掐住心智，使身體疲憊並使理智遲鈍。
放縱情慾造成呆滯，而壓抑情慾則造成憤怒。情慾無非是原始未受駕馭的能量。同樣的能量受到駕馭時，即展現為熱忱、光輝、敏銳的理智和愛。
有哪些要素能夠使情慾昇華或轉變為愛呢？
1. 輕鬆有趣──被情慾掌控的人無法真正的輕鬆有趣。當你真正輕鬆有趣時，就沒有情慾。
2. 慷慨──當你瞭解到自己來此的目的僅是為了付出再付出，而又自覺極為慷慨時，情慾就昇華了。情慾使人變得想佔有而且不慷慨。
3. 適量到少量的攝取食物。
4. 不忘記死亡。
5. 神性的羅曼史。
6. 冷水浴。
7. 接受有創意的挑戰。
182 SUBLIMATING LUST
Weekly Knowledge #182 Cochin 03 Dec 1998 India
Lust is one of the main botherations that many face. Lust grips the mind and tires the body, and dulls the intellect.
Lust when indulged brings inertia, and when suppressed brings anger. Lust is nothing but primordial un-harnessed energy. The same when harnessed manifests as enthusiasm, sparkle, sharpness of intellect and love.
What are the factors which can sublimate or transform lust into love?
- Playfulness : People who are in the grip of lust cannot be genuinely playful. When you are genuinely playful, then there is not lust there.
- Generosity : When you realize that you are here only to give and give, and you feel that you are very generous, lust is sublimated. Lust makes one possessive and not generous.
- Moderate to less intake of food
- Remembrance of death
- Divine Romance
- Cold water baths
- Undertaking creative challenges

Creation returned to the source as Sri Sri visited Shimoga, the birthplace of the Art of Living, to a tumultuous traditional welcome. The course participants from 1982 met Guruji saying that their every single wish has been granted, and thanked him for the enormous grace and joy that their lives are filled with. A grand satsang there began a hectic, fun-filled week for Sri Sri and all of us.
Guruji stopped in Shringeri overnight and met with the Shankaracharya, they had a silent dialogue!
In Mangalore, Guruji's first ever Satsang had over 4000 people, and an elaborate welcome with the sound of huge horns.
On to Kerala, known as "God's own country", where the picturesque country-side and thousands of enthusiastic devotees greeted the Master ecstatically. Thallassery had its first ever Satsang, and Calicut saw thousands thronging the hall. On this trip, Sri Sri has astonished organisers and delighted audiences by speaking in the local language (Malayalam) - which he is not supposed to know!!
Trissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, welcomed Sri Sri with caparisoned elephants, traditional drums and horns, and had a moonlit, open-air Satsang of over 10,000! Of course many healing experiences are being reported. Even as Sri Sri is making headlines in all the leading newspapers, many amazing/amusing incidents have been "happening".
Guruji stopped the car at a small village, and was immediately surrounded by the locals. One of them said that after seeing Guruji's photo in the newspaper, he had been praying to Guruji ever since. His joy new no bounds when Guruji visited his tiny shop and blessed him.
Earlier, an autorickshaw driver was doing pranam to Guruji's poster -imagine his surprise when he turned and saw Guruji smiling from the car next to him!
