慷慨是種精神特質 Generosity is a Duality of Spirit
160 1998/07/01 加拿大 溫哥華
在生命中，當你感覺受困──沒有成長、受到慾望的轟炸、枯燥無味、興趣索然、沒有樂趣時，你怎麼辦呢？
這兒有個解決的辦法：
感覺慷慨大方……現在，而不是明天
慷慨是精神的一種特質。王子和乞丐都可以有慷慨的感覺。當你感到慷慨大方時，你的生命即變得豐盛，充滿了慈悲與愛。
問：慷慨與感恩是一樣的嗎？
古儒吉：不一樣，感恩總是帶著自我的顧慮。你為何感恩呢？那是因為你擁有某樣東西，或你將獲得某樣東西。
慷慨是不受制於外在的情況。沒有可以讓你感覺慷慨。那是某種你自己必須做的事情。慷慨是一種意識狀態。慷慨並非一種行動，但卻總是以行動來表達。
問：那麼激情又如何？
古儒吉：激情顯示匱乏；不動心則是豐盛。然而有不動心，卻沒有慷慨使你以自己為核心，造成枯燥。
不要想那些你過去所做過的事，那只會帶給你作為者的心態。只要感覺慷慨即可。
160 GENEROSITY IS THE QUALITY OF THE SPIRIT

When You Feel Stuck In Life And Not Growing, Bombarded By Desires, When There Is Dryness, Lack Of enthusiasm, no juice, what do you do?
Here is the solution....FEEL GENEROUS....right away, not tomorrow.
Either a princess or a pauper can feel generous. Generosity is the quality of the spirit. When you feel generous your life becomes abundant, full of compassion and love.
Question: Is generosity the same as being grateful?
Answer: No. Gratefulness always has self concern. You are grateful because you have something or you get something. Generosity is an expression independent of external circumstances. No one can make you feel generous. That is something that you have to do yourself. Essentially, generosity is not an act. It is a state of consciousness, but it cannot but find its expression in an act.
Question: What about passion?
Answer: Passion indicates scarcity. Dispassion is abundance. Dispassion without generosity makes you self-centered, causes more dryness.
You dont´ have to think about what you have done in the past. That only brings doership.
Just feel generous.
NEWS FLASH Following Guruj's visit to South Africa, there is now a very successful prison program going on.
The North American tour started to heat up as Guruji came to Chicago for more inspiring talks and intimate Satsangs. The knowledge flowed as each devotee felt Guruji was speaking only to them. There is no independent consciousness. In Jackson Hole, Wyoming the weather cooled but the volunteers were still hot arranging standing room only talks and quiet walks by pristine lakes. Then on to Vancouver where Guruji was again met by sunshine in the skies and on the faces of devotees.
