人性與非人性 The Personal and the Impersonal
107 1997/06/25 加拿大 蒙特婁靜心所
當你愛某樣東西時,那東西即變得活生生。心中懷有愛心,整個創造界即變得人性化了。
小孩子將每個玩具都賊予生命。甚至樹木有臉、太陽會笑。當變得人性化後,甚至一顆石頭也會引人尊重。
蘇珊娜:是的,在寺廟裡即使是塊石頭都被提升至靈性層面。
古儒吉:在愛中,你甚至將物體昇華為生命。當你將感情除去時,即使人也變成物體。
暴力是抹除感情。一個人怎能殺害另一個人呢?那是當他們並不將之視為人,而視之為物體時。
狄恩:軍隊訓練士兵把人看成是物體。
古儒吉:那些將上帝視為非人性的人,他們不會進步。非人性的無法吸引你的愛與尊敬。
狄恩及蘇珊娜:因此我們需要一個上師!
昌:當我們將某物人性化時,我們就使它成真。因此,什麼是真相?
古儒吉:你們就是真相。你們不是思想,你們不是情緒──也不是行為。你們甚至不是人!
107 THE PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL
Weekly Knowledge #107 Montreal Ashram 25 Jun 1997 Canada
How can we reconcile the impersonal with the personal?
In love you raise the object to life. When you love an object it becomes life. For children everything is personal. Children take each object they play with and make it totally personal. Even a stone has a face; even the sun laughs. When you attach emotion, the whole creation becomes personal. When you remove the emotion, even people become objects. Violence is removing the emotion. How a person can kill another person: it is when they do not see them as a person, they see them as an object. But even a stone attracts reverence when it becomes personal.
Dean says: In military training they teach soldiers to see people as killing objects coming toward you that need to be killed first.
Susannah says: In the temple even a stone is elevated to the level of spirit.
The impersonal cannot attract reverence. Most people see God as impersonal and therefore they do not progress.
Dean and Susannah say: "That's why we need a Guru!"
Chan says: When we say something isn't real, then it's impersonal. When we personalize
something, we make it real. So then, what is reality?
You are the Reality. You are not the thoughts, you are not the emotions nor actions. You are not even a person...!
Exercise: What you now see as impersonal, see it as personal. And when you feel any negative emotion towards anybody, see them as impersonal. And pretend that you yourself are a robot.

NEWS FLASH
The Knowledge Fax Book for the first two years is being released by David and Gary. There was a debate about whether to include the news flashes in the book. The majority voted in favor of news flashes.
Everyday Guruji continues to be inundated with letters reporting more amazing healing
experiences. Art of Living Teachers in North America are now observing two weeks of intense Sadhana. Advanced courses are happening in Poona, Slovania, Botswana and Montreal.
People are seeing a totally different Guruji which they have never experienced before. His fiery talks this week have made everyone sit up and take notice. Everyone is very happy.
