你是第十個 You are the Tenth
144 1998/03/11 印度 瑞希克西
有十個人正從一個村莊走向另一個村莊。途中他們必需經過一條河，在過河之後他們想確定大家都安全地過了河。每個人都只點到九個人而漏掉自己。他們十分痛心，開始為失去的第十個人痛哭。
一位智者路過問他們：「親愛的朋友，你們為哭泣？」
他們答道：「本來我們有十個人的，現在只剩下九個人。」
智者瞧見他們有十個人，因此就叫他們站好點人數。
他對最後的一個人說：「你是第十個」。於是大家為了找回第十個人而歡天喜地。
五官與四個內在的機能（心智、理智、記憶與自我），當它們見不到本我時，全都在哀嘆。而後上師出現並告訴你，你就是第十個！
繼續數，但是在你未找到第十個時，不要停下來。
在內在找到那永恆存在的本我時，一切都會令人真心喜悅。
問：在婆拉門創造這宇宙時他想些什麼？
古儒吉：他在做之前並未思考。他並未採納任何人的建議，如果有機會的話，我那時會給他一些建議！
144 You Are The Tenth
Weekly Knowledge #144 Rishikesh 11 Mar 1998 India
Ten people were going from one village to another. On the way they had to cross a river. After crossing they wanted to be sure all were there. Each one started counting but counted only nine. They were very distraught and began to cry for the loss of the tenth.
A wise man came along and asked them "Oh my dear friends, why are you crying?"
"We were ten but now we are only nine," they replied.
The wise man saw they were ten, so he asked them to count. Each counted nine but left out himself. Then the wise man made them stand and count, and he said to the last person, "You are the tenth!"
And they all rejoiced for having regained the tenth.
Similarly the five senses and the four inner faculties (mind, intellect, memory, ego) all lament when they lose sight of the Self. Then the Master comes and shows you that You are the tenth! Count, but never stop until you find the tenth. The joy is in finding the Ever Present.
With the knowledge of the Self inside everything is truly joyful.
Q: What did Brahma think when he made this creation?
Sri Sri: He didn't think before doing. He didn't take anyone's suggestion -- I would have given him a few.
NEWS FLASH: Bhajans were coming out from a locked suitcase! Do you think it was a miracle? No, it was a hoax. While being transported, a tape recorder inside was turned on by impact and brought great delight to the volunteers who worked into the early morning to prepare for the departure of the International Advanced Course participants. The course ended with the whole group joining Sri Sri for a dip in the Holy Ganga river. Another Advanced course is already underway in Rishikesh with four hundred participants, while TTC I and II are having a hilarious time. Everything is gearing up the Festival of Colors, Holi.
Jai Guru Dev
