知識的不良消化 Fendigestion of Knowledge
#086 1997/1/30 美國 洛杉磯天使城
知識的不良消化導致無可救藥的假我膨脹。假我滋養了那些無益生命的習性。知識必須被正確地消化吸收。
知識的不良消失導致了：
u 興趣缺缺，視為當然，缺乏覺知
u 欠缺瞭解或深度，卻自認為熟悉──淺薄脆弱
u 有說教的傾向
u 強烈的妒忌或反應
u 利用知識達成私慾
u 固執不化
u 假我
你對某些事情的無能為力(例如戒除習慣)會引起你的痛楚；當你處在深沉的痛苦中，那將使你脫離那個習慣。當你是由於缺點而受苦時，那你就是位求道者(sadhak)。痛苦使你自瘾頭中脫身而出。
一旦你愛上神，你就能消化這知識。愛是開胃菜，服務是運動；如果缺乏愛和服務，知識就變得無法消化。
所以，每一個人列一張自己的愛心服務清單，列出你為這世界做出的貢獻。
馬里那：如果愛是開胃菜，那麼主菜是什麼？
古儒吉：知識。
丹尼爾：那什麼是甜點呢？
古儒吉：我自己！(笑聲)
註：下週每個人要寫下自己的每週知識，包括新聞剪影，並附上名字。傳真到美國：1-805-565-3538 (美國)，或郵寄到你所在的國家中心。
086 INDIGESTION OF KNOWLEDGE
Weekly Knowledge #86 City of Angels -- Los Angeles, California 30 Jan 1997 USA
Indigestion of knowledge leads to development of a false ego which has no cure. Knowledge must be digested properly.
Indigestion of knowledge leads to:
- False ego
- Disinterestedness; taking for granted; lack of awareness
- Familiarity without understanding, without depth -- flakiness
- Tendency to preach
- "Heart" burn
- Using knowledge for their own small ends
- Adamancy
Your inability to do something (break a habit) can cause a pinch; when you are deeply pained by something, then that will rid you of that habit. If you are pained by your shortcomings, then you are sadhak. Pain takes you out of addiction.
If you are in love with the divine, then you can digest the knowledge. Love is the appetizer -- seva is the exercise -- without love and seva, knowledge becomes indigestible. So everyone list the loving seva you have done for the world.
Marielle: If love is the appetizer, what is the main course?
Guruji: Knowledge
Daniel: What is dessert?
Guruji: MYSELF!! (Laughter)
Jai Guru Dev
P.S. Next week everyone write a knowledge sheet with your news flash and send it with your name on it. Fax it to 1-805-565-3538 (USA) or mail it to your national center.
NEWS FLASH
Reverend Michael Bechwith, founder of the Agape Church, honored Guruji to his congregation. Everyone felt the unity inspired by the songs from the church choir and Bhajans by Divya followed by electrifying talks. Monday Guruji started a series of talks to an overflowing crowd at the Miramar Sheraton Hotel. A lady in her 50s who had an accident and lost mobility in her arm, came the next day and was amazed that she could now easily lift her arm all the way over her head. There was an air of celebration and everyone coming to the talks was simply ecstatic.
Jai Gurudev
