尊敬 Respect
141 1998/02/18 印度 班格羅靜心所
當有人尊敬你時，並非因為你具有某些美德，而是因為他們偉大。
假如你說上帝偉大，那就意味著你是偉大的。上帝已然偉大──你如此說對祂並無影響。
當你尊敬某人時，那顯示出你自己的寬宏。在世界上有多少人你不尊敬，財富就短少那麼多。如果人人你都尊敬，你的價值就增加那麼多。一個有智慧的人是那種尊敬每個人的人。
問：但是古儒吉，你不能尊敬一個恐怖份子啊！
古儒吉：你也必需尊敬一個恐怖份子，因為他以自己作代價將正途顯示給你看。
尊敬是較精微的意識特質。對本我的尊敬是信心； 信心是心胸開放。
假如你開放的話，你就接近我。
假如你接近我的話，你必然開放！
141 Respect
Weekly Knowledge #141 Bangalore Ashram 18 Feb 1998 India
When someone respects you, it is not because you possess some virtues, it is because of their generosity, their greatness. If you say God is great, it makes YOU great. God is anyway already great, you saying so doesn't affect God.
When you respect someone, it only shows your own magnanimity. How many people you don't respect in the world, that much less is your wealth. If you respect everyone in the world, that much more is your value. Wiser is the one who respects everyone.
Question : But Gurudev, you can't respect a terrorist!
Sri Sri : You have to respect a terrorist too because he shows you the way at his own cost.
Respectfulness is a quality of refined consciousness. Respect for the Self is faith. Faith is being open.
If you are open, you are close.
If you are close, you cannot but open up.
