宇宙的五個面貌 The five Aspects of the Universe
#080 1996/11/20 印度 班格羅靜心所
你對自己有五個面貌:1.存在(Asti, Is-ness),2.知識、表達(bhati),3.愛(preti),4.名稱(nama),和5.形體(rupa)。
物質有兩個面貌:名稱(nama)和形體(rupa)。
意識則包含三個面貌:存在(Asti, Is-ness),它知道並予表達(bhati),與它是愛(preti)。
這即是整個宇宙的秘密。
「幻相」(maya)是沒有覺知到意識的這三個面貌。
「無明」是指當一個人被名稱和形體所執絆。
問:為什麼我們是不完美的?
古儒吉:因此我們才能成長為完美。生命是從不完美到完美的移動。一粒種子包蔵著樹,但為了要成為樹,它必須停止種子的形式。在生命中,你或可選擇在每一歩中見到不完美,或你可以把它當成從完美到另一完美的移動。
080 THE FIVE ASPECTS OF THE UNIVERSE
Weekly Knowledge #80 Bangalore Ashram 19 Dec 1996 India
You have five aspects to yourself: Asti (is-ness); Bhaati (Knowledge, expression); Preeti (love); Nama (name); and Rupa (form).
Matter has two aspects: name and form.
Consciousness has three aspects: "is-ness" - that it is; knowingness/expression - it knows and expresses; and love - it is loving.
This is the secret of the whole universe.
Maya is not being aware of the three aspects of consciousness. Ignorance is when one is caught up in the name and form.
Question: Why are we imperfect?
Answer: So that we can grow to perfection. Life is a movement from imperfection to perfection. A seed contains the tree but the seed has to cease to be a seed to become a tree. The seed is not perfect. The sapling is not perfect. It has to cease to be a sapling to become a tree. So in life you can either see imperfection at every step, or you can see a movement from one perfection to another perfection.
Wherever you put your attention then that will grow. If you put your attention on the lack of something, the lack will increase.
