感激 Appreciation

你何時會感激一個人？當他們作了一些不尋求、不平凡且不是他們本性的事情時，不是嗎？
舉例而言，當一個壞蛋不惹麻煩時，你會感激他們。或是，一個你認為不是好人的人做了件善事，你會感激他們。還有，一個好人做了極為不尋常的事情時，你會感激他們。假如小孩子為你泡了一杯茶，你會感激，但假如是個母親，泡了同一杯茶，你不見得會感激，因為對她而言這是種正常的行為。同樣的，你不認識的人載你一程，你會感激，但是一個公車司機載你，你未必會感激。
以上都是一時性的行為，都是違反性格或不是出自本性的行為。因此當你感激某人做了某事時，你暗示那並非他們平常的作為。
羅賓：假如一個人要別人感激他呢？
古儒吉：那意味著那並非出自於他的本性，因此他們才需要別人感激。不是出自本性的行為就是外加的。因此當你感激某人時，你純粹在暗示那並非他們的本性，那不是他們尋常的作法。那是他們少有的行為或特質。感激隱含著隔閡感或距離，因此當你感激某人時，小心點！
177 Appreciation

When do you appreciate someone? When they do something that is unusual,not ordinary, and not their nature. Isn't it so?
For example, when a wicked person doesn't create a problem then you appreciate them. Or, when somebody you think is not good does a good act, then you appreciate them. Also, when a good person does something extraordinary, then you appreciate them. If a child made you a cup of tea, you would appreciate it, but if a mother made the same cup of tea, you would not likely appreciate it because it is a normal act for her. In the same way, you appreciate getting a ride from someone you don't know, but you don't necessarily appreciate it from a bus driver.
In all these cases, those acts are temporary, out of character, or not their nature. So when you appreciate someone for something, you imply that it is not the way they are usually.
Robin: What if a person wants to be appreciated?
Sri Sri: That means that it is not in their nature, and that is why they want to be appreciated. If it is not coming from their nature it is an imposed act. So when you appreciate someone you simply imply that it is not their nature, it is not the way they usually are. It is a rare act or quality. Appreciation implies a sense of separateness or distance, so watch out when you appreciate someone!
Jai Guru Dev !
NEWS FLASH !
During the last week of Guruji's very busy vacation at the Canadian Ashram the only way he could have an uninterrupted meeting was in a boat out in the middle of the lake. The pink sky in the blue water was reflected in everyone's heart. In Calgary, some instant Gopis and Gopas were born who had not even taken the basic course. On a walk around Lake Louise, Dean was taking pictures and Guruji reminded Dean that the sun was on the camera.Dean said, "It's amazing, you always know where the sun is." Guruji laughed and said, "Who does not know where the sun is. What an appreciation!."
