歌唱 溝通與我執 Singing Communication and Ego

溝通有三種方式：在頭腦對頭腦式的溝通時，你說話；在心對心的溝通時，你歌唱；而靈魂對靈魂的溝通則發生在靜默中。
與人相見，你時常做頭腦對頭腦式的溝通。當與大自然在一起時，你開始歌唱，你打從心裡與大自然溝通。通常與人在一起時你不斷說話、饒舌，不斷地僅是做著頭腦層面的溝通。但當你與大自然在一起時，你開始哼唱，你的溝通發自心靈。而當你與上師在一起時，你腦子一片空白，忘了所有的問題。於是在靜默中，溝通透過靈魂發生。
與人見面時，你喜歡停留在頭腦層面，極少一起與人歌唱，除非事出安排。你的我執阻礙使你無法歌唱。有許多人跟著別人歌唱時會感到不舒服。當你跟著別人歌唱時，你就從頭腦往下到了心靈或感覺的層面。
有些人僅是聽著音樂就感覺舒服。有些人僅在獨處時歌唱才會感到舒服。有些人歌唱是為了引人注意或吸引別人。有些人只有在大夥兒全都歌唱時才會加入。所有這樣的歌唱皆是出自於我執。巴將(Bhajan)意謂分享，從我們存在的最深層面分享。巴將是真誠的分享。
假如你能與人一起歌唱，則你的我執即粉碎。
兒童可以與人歌唱，因為他不會有我執。與一個陌生人歌唱你必須能擺脫我執。我執不會讓你跟著一個陌生人歌唱。
對我執而言，頭腦層面是安全的；心靈的層面打破我執；靈魂的層面融解我執。一切溝通的鴻溝皆發生於我執。
167 Singing, Communication and Ego
Weekly Knowledge #167 Geilo 19 Aug 1998 Norway
There are three modes of communication: in head to head communication you talk, in heart to heart communication you sing, and soul to soul communication happens in silence.
When you meet with people, often you communicate from head to head. When you are with nature, you start singing, you communicate with nature from your heart. Often when you are with people you keep talking, blabbering, and you keep the communication on the level of the head only. But when you are with nature, you start humming and your communication comes through the heart. And when you are with the guru, you go blank and forget all the questions. Then communication comes through the soul in silence.
When you meet with people, you like to remain in the head, you seldom sing with people (other than when it is organised). Your ego obstructs you from singing. Many do not feel comfortable singing with people. When you sing with people then you descend to the heart level or feeling level. Some feel comfortable just listening to music. Some feel comfortable singing only when they are alone. Some sing to draw attention or to charm others. Some only want to join in when all the others are singing. All this singing comes from ego.
Bhajan means sharing, sharing from the deepest level of our existence. Bhajan is authentic sharing. If you could sing with people, then your ego shatters. Children can sing with people for they do not have ego. To sing with a stranger you have to be free of ego. Ego doesn't let you sing with a stranger. Head level is safe for the ego -heart level breaks the ego - soul level dissolves the ego. All communication gaps happen because of ego.
Exercise: when you are with people, rather then chatting just start singing and you can feel the shift of energy that is happening. If you want to have more fun, greet a stranger with a song.
NEWS FLASH !
Art of Living hosted an UN Round Table on the Art of Making Peace in Geneva. Krishna's birthday was celebrated in the ashram with the conclusion of the advanced course. Prison programme is starting in Denmark. Several research scientists came and met with Sri Sri. A beautiful talk on happiness in daily life was given by Sri Sri in Copenhagen. There were too many seats in Copenhagen and too few in Oslo. The whole hall was so packed that people sat on the floor, which is unusual in Norway. The Chandigarh advanced course swept them off their feet.
