自我  Ego

128 1997/11/20 印度 班格羅靜心所

什麼時候有自我？

1.      當你未得到注意

2.      當你看似失去注意

3.      當你受到注意（笑聲）

自我造成沈重感、不舒服感、恐懼、焦慮。自我使愛無法流動。

自我是分別心、無歸屬感、想要證明與想要佔有。明白真理，並藉著探尋「我是

誰」，可超越自我。

常常你是以輕視或嫉妒的態度對待自我的人，其實你應該同情他們。

自我有其正向性，它驅使人做些事。一個人會做事，或是出於喜悅、同情，或是

出於自我。社會中大多數的工作全是經由膨脹自我達成。但是唱場中，工作則是

由愛心所完成。

而當你醒過來並明白，無一事需要證明，無一事需要擁有時，自我即融解。

128 EGO

Weekly Knowledge #128 Banglore Ashram 20 Nov 1997 India

When is there Ego?

1. When you don't get attention.

2. When you seem to be losing attention.

3. When you get attention (Laughter).

Ego causes heaviness, discomfort. It doesn't let love flow. Ego can be transcended by knowing the Truth; by enquiring "Who am I?" Often, your attitude towards one who has ego is of contempt or jealousy. But rather you should have compassion, or even pity, isn't it?

There is also a positive aspect of ego. It drives one to do some work. A person will do a job either out of compassion or out of ego. Most of the work in the society is by boosting the ego. But in Satsang, work is done out of love. Ego is separateness; non-belongingness. It is wanting to prove and to possess.

And when you wake up and see, there is nothing to be proved and nothing to possess, ego dissolves.

NEWS FLASH

The Satsang tour continued on to Hyderabad, where despite a cyclone warning, swarms of people came to be blessed by the Master and were surprised to hear Him speaking chaste Telugu. Many healing experiences were shared. Guruji's talk to the doctors the next day was simply stunning and as with all his best talks, it was not recorded.

Fireworks and exuberant Ashramites welcomed Guruji back to Bangalore. An Advanced Course is in progress and preparations are on for a big public Satsang in Bangalore on the 23rd.
