直做到它成為本性Do It Until You Become It

美德必須鍛練直到它們成為你的本性。友善、慈悲與靜心應該持續練習到你體會它們即是你的根本本性。
將做事當成一種作為的缺點在於你要求有所結果。出於本性去完成一件事情時，你不會執著於結果，而且會持續為之。
發自本性的行動既不會人疲倦也不會使人喪氣。舉例而言，刷牙與洗澡等日常作息，我們甚至不會將之視為行動，由於它們已和我們的生命融為一體。你在做這一切事情時完全沒有作為者的意識。當服務成為你本性的一部份時，服務的出現就不會有作為者的意識。
問：你何時才會體會到慈悲、靜心與服務是你本性呢？
古儒吉：當你少不了它們時。
智者持續他們的修持練習僅在樹立榜樣，即使他們根本無需任何的修持練習。
171 DO IT TILL YOU BECOME IT !
Weekly Knowledge #171 Banglore Ashram 17 Sep 1998 India
Virtues have to be practised till they become your nature. Friendliness, compassion and meditation should continue as practices till you realise that they are your very nature.
The flaw in doing something as an act is that you look for a result. When it is done as your nature, you are not attached to the result and you continue doing it. An action that arises from your nature is neither tiring nor frustrating. For example, daily routines like brushing one's teeth or bathing are not even considered actions because they are so integrated into one's life. You do all this without doership. When Seva is made part of your nature, it happens without doership.
Question: When do you realise that compassion, meditation and Seva are your nature?
Answer: When you cannot be without it.
Wise men continue the practices just to set an example, even though for them, there is no need for any practices.
