我執只是個原子 Ego Is Only An Atom
#164 1998/7/30 加拿大蒙特婁靜心所
存在於你的「我」或我執是顆很小的原子。它可以跟物質連結或是跟精神連結，不管其所連結的為何，它即以之認同自己。當與物質連結時，它以身體認同自己；當與本體連結時，它以無限的本我認同自己。
當這顆原子──這個我執，與物質世界連結時，就變得世俗；與精神連結時，就變得神聖。當它與本體、本我連結時，就變成能量(shakti)；以身體認同自己時，即變得悲哀。
你們瞧，一個巨大的原子反應爐中，所炸開的不過是一顆小小的原子而已。同樣地，我們整個體內，只有一個小小的「我」的原子罷了，當這個「我」炸開時，就是它變成本我之光時。
我們常說；「我憂傷」或「我快樂」。
將這顆原子從以身體和以概念世界的認同，轉向以真實世界認同。
164 EGO IS ONLY AN ATOM
Weekly Knowledge #164 Montreal Ashram 30 Jul 1998 Canada
The "I" or ego in you is a tiny atom. If this atom is put with the body, the matter, it identifies with the matter. If this atom is put with the Being, the Infinite, it identifies with the Infinite.
When this atom, this ego, is associated with the material world, it becomes mundane. When it is associated with the spirit, it becomes Divine. It becomes shakti when associated with the Being, the Self. It becomes miserable when identified with the body.
You see, in a huge atomic reactor, it is just one tiny atom that is exploded. In the same way, in our whole body, there is just one little tiny atom of "I". And when this "I" explodes, that is when it becomes the light of the Self.
Usually we say, "I am miserable, " or "I am happy".
Shift this atom from identifying with the body and the conceptual world, to identifying with the Real World.
NEWSFLASH !
Ottawa, Canada's capital, was graced with the Master's presence for two action-packed days this past week, where his public talk on Human Values at the elegant Chateau Laurier made the TV evening news, and the Hindu Temple experienced a tidal wave of joy and bliss. Then our caravan moved on to the advanced course at the Montreal Ashram, where we set new attendance records with 450 course participants. All are amazed at how smoothly things have gone, and there is no question that this is all due to the Guru's grace. A group of devotees from Central America has everyone dancing at the lively satsangs this week in our spacious and colourful tent by the lake. Nature has cooperated by providing perfect weather all week, and no bugs! Everyone is happy amidst great celebration. Fireworks at the lake on Thursday night will mark the grand finale of the North American summer tour, as Guruji prepares to leave for Germany.
