無須改過 Do not Correct Your Mistakes !
#173 1998/10/2 印度 班格羅靜心所
欲求改過會帶來作為者的心態,而作為者的心態是錯誤的基礎。通常那些企圖要改過的人反陷於更多的過失中。而那些認清自己過錯的人則自過錯中解脫出來。
通常,當我們承認過錯時,我們企圖辯解而不願負起責任。而有時我們承認犯了過錯,我們就會對之辯解或者對之產生罪惡感。一個人或者因為良知(明辨力)的折磨或是因為悲傷的折磨才得以擺脫過錯。
任何行動、任何情況、或任何人都可能出現瑕疵。就像你看待花朵般地去看待瑕疵。如同花朵經過一段時間後就會凋謝一般,瑕疵也一樣。
173 DO NOT CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES!
Weekly Knowledge #173 Bangalore Ashram 02 Oct 1998 India
Wanting to correct a mistake brings doership and doership is the foundation for mistakes. Often, those who are trying to correct mistakes get caught up in more mistakes. Those who recognize their are mistakes are freed from them.
Often, when one acknowledges a mistake, one tries to justify it, without taking responsibility for it. And sometimes one accepts that one made a mistake and starts justifying it or feeling guilty about it. Mistakes get dropped when one is troubled by ones conscience (viveka) or grief.
There may be flaws in any action, any situation or any person. Treat a flaw as you would treat a flower. Just as a flower has to wither away after sometime, so does a flaw.
NEWS FLASH
Hope you all enjoyed last weeks knowledge sheet; written on paper that is space, with ink that is love, written in a language that is silence. How many of you got it?
Navarathri was celebrated in the Ashram by hundreds of devotees from all around the world. Silence made way for celebrations that got louder and louder, culminating in a wave of bliss.
Serious discussions are under way for expanding the facilities in the Ashram. Even though the volunteers and the housing team did an excellent job, the need for more rooms and a larger Meditation Hall was direly felt. You are welcome to send in your suggestions and contributions directly to the Ashram.
