要有勇氣才能說出「我是」 It Takes Courage to Say ‘I Am’

神僅在深度休息時刻到來，而非藉著作為。
你的一切靈修作為皆在幫助你，使你變得沉默。當你沒有停頓在享受至福或安祥時，你會繼續往前──否則渴望可能會出現。
假如存在想要給你安祥與至福，那沒問題。你的真實本性是至福。然而企圖享受至福，你就會從「是」（am-ness）往下走到「我是什麼」（I am something）─「我是安祥」，「我是至福」，而緊接著是「我是不幸的」。要有勇氣才能單只說出「我是」，而不再多說。「我是」是不動心。
不動心意味著歡迎一切。你可以身處任何地方而無動於衷。不動心的穩定帶來能量、火花。沉溺於至福的享受則帶來惰性。
假如你無動於衷，則至福仍停留該處。當冷凍庫中充滿了冰淇淋時你不需擔心。
不動心消除匱乏感。熱望則是沒有豐盛的感覺。
不管何時，當一切豐盛時，不動心即出現。
而當不動心存在時，一切就會豐盛地湧現。
問：當我們逮到自己正沉溺於至福中時，怎麼辦？
古儒吉：僅僅只是這種瞭解，就足以帶來轉變。那是毫不費力的。
知識比行動更有助於使你解脫。
162 It Takes Courage To Say "I Am"
Weekly Knowledge #162 Alpine Meadows,California 15 Jul 1998 USA
Only in deep rest can the Divine come, not by doing. All the doings are to help you become silent. Not enjoying the bliss or the peace takes you further - otherwise the bliss or the peace can create cravings. If the existence wants to give it, then fine. It takes courage to say "I am". Your true nature is bliss. But trying to enjoy the bliss, you step down from is-ness to am-ness - "l am peaceful", "I am blissful". And that is followed by "I am miserable". "l am" is dispassion. You can be anywhere and be dispassionate. Dispassion is welcoming everything. Centeredness brings energy, a spark. Enjoyment of bliss brings inertia. If you are dispassionate, the bliss is still there. When the freezer is full of ice cream you do not bother about it. Dispassion takes away the sense of scarcity. Passion is a sense of lack of abundance. And whenever everything is abundance, dispassion happens. And when dispassion is there, everything comes in abundance.
Q: What do we do when we catch ourselves enjoying our bliss?
Guruji: Then we feel stupid. Just an understanding we are enjoying it, creates a shift. There is no effort. Knowledge is better than action to make you free.
NEWSFLASH
To the sweet strains of Om Namo Bhagavate the course participants seemed to float across the stage for Guru Purnima blessings from Sri Sri. The Guru Purnima gathering included a combined weekend and six day Basic Course, an Advanced Course, TTC I, II, III, Parenting the Angels, and an ArtExcel program; all this under the snow-capped mountains and crystal skies of Alpine Meadows. The ArtExcel youths showed their spirit by kidnapping Sri Sri for an afternoon of ice-skating and laughter. As the courses wrap up, the excitement of the North American tour continues to unfold with the San Francisco Bay area, Colorado, and Canada to come.
Jai Guru Dev
