享樂 Pleasure
#079 1996/12/12 印度 班格羅靜心所
一顆尋求享樂的心無法穩定。當你屹立不搖時,一切享樂自然降臨,只是他們的魅力不再,因為你才是吸引力的源頭。一顆尋求享樂的心智永遠無法達到那至高的境界。
如果你追逐享樂,那就忘掉唱場吧!為什麼你還要浪費時間?這是個捨棄的藝術(the Art of leaving)。
如果你愛享受你的痛苦,你就無法穩定安住;你已遠離了道。
你可選擇追尋享樂,或者接近我。
蘇珊娜:當人們說出負面的話語時,我們該如何處理?
古儒吉:就你這方面而言,去允許任何人在任何地點和任何時間去談論任何事情和任何的人。
練習:這整個星期儘你所能負面地去批判每一個人。這是個挑戰。
079 PLEASURE
Weekly Knowledge #79 Bangalore Ashram 12 Dec 1996 India
The mind that is seeking pleasure cannot be centered. You either seek pleasure or come to me. When you are centered, all pleasures come to you anyway, but they are no longer pleasures. They lose their charm. The mind that seeks pleasure can never achieve the highest. If you are after pleasure, forget about Satsang. Why are you wasting your time? This is the Art of Living.
If you are enjoying your suffering, then you also cannot be centered and you are far away from the path.
Susannah: What do you do when people talk negatively about this organization, Satsangs, teachers, or anybody for that matter?
Guruji: From your side give license to everybody to talk about anything, about anybody, anywhere, at any time.
Exercise -- Talk maximum negativity about everybody this whole week. This is a challenge.
NEWS FLASH
Murli had a severe allergy. He could not talk and he could hardly eat or drink. His tongue was swollen. It was an alarming condition. Then Guruji arrived. He told Murli to take some medicine and tapped him on the throat. Amazingly, Murli was cured in the next few minutes. It was as though nothing had happened. He did not listen to Guruji. He did not even take any medicine.
People came to the Advanced Course for silence and were blasted by loud raucous music from the local village. People came all the way from Germany for the sunny weather for which Bangalore is known at this time of the year. They got dreary clouds, chilling wind, and rain. In addition, there were frequent power cuts which ensured that people took cold water baths in the morning. GurujiÒ³ voice went hoarse and He needed a tap on His own throat!
Jai Guru Dev
