你因某人偉大或獨特才愛他嗎 Do You Love Someone Because They Are Great Or Unique ?

我告訴你……你無可救藥！你因何愛著某人？是因為他們的特質？還是因為血脈相連的關係或親密的感覺？
你可以因為某人的特質愛他們而毫無血脈相連之感。那種愛引發出競爭與忌妒。而出自血脈相連那種感覺的愛就不會這樣。
假如你因某人的特質而愛他們，那麼當特質改變或當你對那特質習以為常時，愛亦會改變。然而，假如你是出於血脈相連的關係而愛著他們時，因為他們是屬於你的，那種愛就會持續終生。
人們說「我愛上帝，因為上帝偉大」。這沒什麼了不起。假如你發現上帝是個平常人，就跟你我一樣，那時你對上帝的愛就蕩然無存了。假如你愛上帝是因為上帝屬於你的，則無論上帝如何，衪創造事物或摧毀事物，你仍舊會愛衪。血脈關係的愛就像你對自己的愛一樣。
問：許多人不愛自己，這又怎麼說呢？
古儒吉：不對！正好相反。他們非常愛自己，以至於希望自己更具有特色和有更佳的儀表。這種對於特質的喜愛使他們更和自己過不去。
假如對人的愛是建立於特質上的話，那愛就不穩定──經過一段時日，當特質改變時愛亦隨之動搖。因人的偉大和獨特而愛他們時，那種愛是三流的愛。
你愛別人，因為他們屬於你，無關他們是否偉大，那是種無條件的愛。
知識、靈修、服務和唱場很快的幫助人們帶出一種歸屬感。當愛的湧現來自歸屬感時，則行為與特質將不會遮蔽愛。
無論是特質還是行為皆無法永遠完美。只有愛與一種血脈相連的感受可以完美。

Do you love someone, because they are great or unique?I tell you - you are hopeless!
Why do you love someone? Is it because of their qualities or is it because of a sense of kinship or intimacy?
You can love someone for their qualities and not feel a sense of kinship. This type of love gives rise to competition and jealousy. Such is not the case when love arises out of kinship.
If you love someone for their qualities, then when the quality changes or you get used to the quality, love also changes. However, if you love someone out of kinship, because they belong to you, then that love remains for life-times.
People say "I love God, because He is great". This is no big thing. If God is found to be ordinary, just one of us, then your love for God collapses! If you love God, because He is yours, then however God is, whether He creates or destroys, you still love Him. The love for kinship is like the love for yourself.
Question: Many people do not have love for themselves?
Answer: No! It is the other way around. They love themselves so much, that they want better qualities and better appearance for themselves. This love of qualities makes them be hard on one self.
If love is based on the quality of a person, then the love is not stable - after sometime the qualities change and the love becomes shaky. Loving someone because of their greatness or uniqueness is Third-rate love. Loving someone because they belong to you, great or otherwise, is unconditional love.
Knowledge, Sadhana, Seva and Satsang help to bring about a sense of belonging in no time. When love springs forth from a sense of belongingness then the actions and qualities do not over shadow the love. Neither the qualities nor actions can be perfect all the time. Love and a feeling of kinship alone can be perfect.
