慶祝與聖誕樹 Celebration and the Christmas Tree
133 1997/12/24 德國 靜心所
人類生命是身體（物質）與精神（振波）的結合，不是嗎？
喜悅是忘了你是物質，而變成強烈的振波。
肉體的本能也會讓你感覺瞬間強烈的振波，因此它們使你一瞥喜悅。但重要的
是，那是短暫的且隨後讓你變得愚鈍。
來自唱場的快樂屬於更崇高的本性。特音及唱頌在性靈上產生振波。因此當你歌
唱時，狂喜會久久不褪。
膚淺層面的快樂是短暫的、令人疲乏的、拘束性的。
精微層面的快樂時間持久、令人活力充沛、生氣蓬勃及自由自在。
當你知道你是電力（振波/能量）時，渴望、貪婪、情慾及忿怒就消失了，你就
變成真正的慶祝。
聖誕節的訊息：
你們是聖誕樹。聖誕樹尖指向上方，樹枝向四方開展。每年當所有的樹都光禿禿
時，你們卻是翠綠的，且掛滿了琳琅滿目的禮物。
你們掛滿了禮物及燈飾──不是要給自己，而是要給別人。記得你們生命中所攜
帶的禮物全是要給別人的。任何來找你的人，你都會將禮物給出。
古儒吉的座椅四周擺著很多禮物。約翰問古儒吉：「你會把禮物打開嗎？」古儒
吉眨眨眼並指著大家說：「我一直都在打開禮物。」（笑聲）
你們的生命是份禮物，而你們是來打開這份禮物的。
打開包裝的過程中，記得也將包裝紙留下來。你們整個的環境、情況、處境及身
體都是包裝紙。
經常當我們拆禮物時，我們撕壞了包裝紙。我們有時急著拆開，甚而破壞了禮物。
懷著耐心及毅力，打開你的禮物──並留下包裝紙。

Celebration Is Pure Vibration
Human life is a combination of matter, i.e., body and spirit or vibration. Isn't it? Pleasure or joy is becoming intense vibration. Joy is forgetting that you are matter and so you become intense vibration. All the carnal instincts will also make you feel intense vibrations momentarily. And that's how they give a glimpse of joy. But the thing is, it is short lived and it makes you dense later on. Pleasure that comes from Satsang is of a higher nature. Mantra and singing create vibrations in the spirit. That's why when you sing, the ecstasy stays for a long time. Pleasure in the subtle is long lasting, energizing, refreshing and freeing. Pleasure from the gross is short lived, tiring and binding.
When you know you are electricity (vibration/energy), then craving, greed, lust and anger disappear. And you become true celebration.
Message for Christmas: You are the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree is pointing upwards and its branches grow on all sides. It is orderly. At the time of year when no tree bears anything, it has many gifts to offer. And it is green throughout the year. A Christmas tree bears the gifts and the lights not for itself. All the gifts you are carrying in your life are for others. Anyone who comes to you, you offer them your gifts.
There were lots of gifts around Sri Sri's couch. John asked Sri Sri, "Are you going to open the gifts?" Sri Sri winked and pointed at the people and said, "I am always opening the gifts." (Laughter)
Your life is a gift. And you have come to unwrap the gift. In the process of unwrapping, you also save the wrappers. Your whole environment, situations, circumstances and body are the wrapping papers. When we unwrap, we destroy the wrapping paper. We are in such a hurry at times that we even destroy the gifts. With patience and endurance, open your gifts and save the wrapping papers.
NEWS FLASH: As hectic activities continue in the Bangalore Ashram, Sri Sri moved on to Madras for a huge Satsang. Then He went to Delhi where He met the Vice President of India. An unscheduled Satsang where around 12 hundred devotees gathered just by word of mouth! The same night Sri Sri left for Germany. The entire German Ashram is decorated. Every corridor and corner wears a festive look. Smiles from the people of 18 countries are the moving decorations.
There were lots of gift boxes of various sizes nicely wrapped up. And as Sri Sri kept lifting them, many of them were found to be hollow and empty!
Thanks to the whole seva team who has transformed the Ashram into a warm and cozy home.
Jai Guru Dev
