大錯覺

 

醫師認為律師是很快樂的。

律師認為生意人比較快樂。

法官認為教授比較快樂，

這是一種錯覺

這是心緒的一種伎倆，

事實上，在這個世界上沒有人真正的快樂，

真正的快樂只存在自己純淨的靈魂上

 

因此，去獲得自我的了悟，你便會得到快樂‧

 

Dada釋義:

聖哲Sri Swami Sivananda 在此談到自我的解脫來自於真正的了悟，所謂了悟是說如何看清世事，並在物質世界中保持清醒。了悟的過程用擺脫大部分的物質欲望為修行的根本。

少一點的物質欲望，常常閱讀古典經文勵志，常常讓心靜處於和平的境界，真誠的幫助別人，

這些都是讓身心淨化的鑰匙， 身心淨化便離自我了悟很近了。

The Great Illusion

 

    A doctor thinks that the Advocate is very happy .The Advocate thinks that a businessman is more happy. The judge thinks that the Professor is happier. This is an illusion. This is a trick of the mind. Verily, no one is really happy in this world. Real happiness can only be had in one’s own Atman. Therefore attain Self-realization and be happy.

心理疾病的根源

自私、自大、擔心、憎恨,這些情緒讓血管收縮，毀壞神經纖維，阻塞生命力，

降低活力及影響外在的抵抗力‧

憤怒讓血液、腦、肝臟和所有的系統中產生毒素‧並產生發燒和沮喪的現象‧

憎恨則導致神經的虛弱、不安、心神不寧、咳嗽、發燒、貧血、消化不良等‧

恐懼產生低血壓和虛弱，破壞紅血球，使臉色蒼白，影響心臟、肝和胃、還有消化不良，腹瀉或便秘以及性無能‧

忌妒將引起自卑感，癱瘓心緒和毀壞你的健康，

忌妒是讓全世界千千萬萬的人神經崩潰的源頭啊!

Spiritual Therapeutics and the effects of negative emotions

4thFebruary

Psychogenic sources of Diseases

 

Selfishness, egoism, worry, hatred, contract the blood-vessels, badly damage the nerve-fibres, obstruct the inflow of the vital force or life-current, and lower the vitality and the power of resistance to external forces and influences. Anger generates poison in the blood, in the brain, liver and in the whole system; it produces fever and depression. Hatred causes nervous weakness, uneasiness, restlessness, cough, fever, loss of blood, indigestion, etc. Fear produces low blood pressure and weakness, destroys red blood-cells, makes the face pale, affects the heart, liver and stomach, and produces indigestion, diarrhea or constipation and impotency. Jealousy will create an inferiority complex, will disable your mind and ruin your health. Jealousy is at the root of the nervous breakdown of millions of people all over the world.

> .心理學法則和靈性的成長

一月二十八日

 Sri Swami Sivananda

心理學的法則和靈性的成長

 

當你強烈的想像成為一個樣子時，你便會成為那想像的樣子，這便是心緒的自然天性。

因而，

如果你想著別人的惡和缺點時，在當下你的念頭就會裝滿了這些罪惡和缺點‧

於是，明白這種心理法則的人便不會一直指責別人的錯誤；

因而便會讓我們看到別人的好，也會經常的讚美別人

這樣的練習讓我們發展專注、瑜珈和靈性的成長‧

A Psychological Law and Spiritual Development

 

The nature of the mind is such that is becomes that which it intensely thinks of. Thus, if you think of the vices and defects of another man, your mind will be charged with these vices and defects at least for the time being. He who knows this psychological law will never indulge in censuring others of in finding fault in the conduct of others, will see only the good in others, and will always praise others. This practice enables one to grow in concentration, yoga and spirituality.

>.古印度的無線電報

一月三十一日

 

古印度的無線電報

一些偉大的瑜珈士如：迦納納第瓦、巴瑞哈里、巴坦佳里^(註一)過去常常用心靈感應和念力傳送和接收遠方發出的訊息‧

心靈感應術是印度著稱於世的無線電報、和電話服務的先驅。

 

思想以巨大的速度穿越空間傳播。

思想有重量、形狀、大小、型態、和顏色。

它是一種動力。

“心靈”訊息的傳遞，對古印度的聖者們來說是很普遍的現象‧

 

Ø   註一：迦納納第瓦Jnanadev . 1275年出生‧14歲時撰寫薄伽梵歌中的評論Jnaneshwari 被公認為印度最偉大的瑜珈聖者之ㄧ‧

Ø   註二：Bhartrhari巴瑞哈里‧印度著名哲學家、文法家‧

Ø   註三：巴坦佳里‧偉大的瑜珈聖哲，瑜珈經的作者‧

Wireless Telegraphy in Ancient India

 

     Great yogis like Jnanadev, Bhartrhari and Patanjali used to send and receive messages to and from distant persons through mind-telepathy (mental radio) and thought-transference. Indian telepathy was the first wireless telegraph and telephone service ever known to the world. Thought travels with tremendous velocity through space. Thought has weight, shape, size, form and colour. It is a dynamic force. “Psychic” transmission of messages by Indian Sages was a common phenomenon.

 

>.一山還比一山高!

八月十九日

一山還比一山高

不要在達到一些小成功時便滿足的停下來，

要有一點平靜的心緒，堅定不變的意志，一些與眾不同的眼界，和正規的思考與閱讀。

還有更高的境界去攀登，更高的區域去提升。

繼續你靈性的練習，

一些修行者期盼得到效果，經過一段時間的練習，若無法迅速獲得，便放棄了靈修。

他們期望經由短時間的修習得到許多完美的結果，當感到無法在短時間獲得時便徹底放棄，回到舊有的物質世界。

從人類(小我)到宇宙(大我)覺知意識的提升，有很多的層次範疇，

很多的面紗要撕開來，一些低層的點面要展開來看，在最後目標到達之前，很多的障礙必須要去跨越。

當穩固在最高的三摩地境界，你便達到了最後的目標，你便不再去視，聽，嗅，感覺。你便不會再有肉體的感覺。

這時你便達到了宇宙的覺知。什麼都不存在，唯有大我之身。這是一種偉大的經驗。你將感受到敬畏及驚奇，同時將擁有無上的智識。

過去和未來都融入永恆的現在。

你已超越時間和空間了。

 

Dada釋義:

Sri Swami Sivananda在靈修日誌中提到高階靈修，抵達三摩地境界的闡釋。

許多的修習者修習靈性的修持是為了”快速”的達到目的，這樣的心態是為”慾望”所驅使，

殊不知”慾望”乃痛苦的根源。

心靈的修持是為了更深的內心覺知，更深的內心覺知是為了身心內在的圓滿和快樂，慾望是物質的產物；而專注在自身的改進和學習是為了和平的生命境界，兩者截然不同。

Summits Beyond Summits

 

   Never rest contented with a little achievement or success in the path, with a little serenity of mind, a little one-pointedness of mind, some vision of angels or Siddhis, a little faculty of thought reading. There are still higher summits to ascend, higher regions to climb. Continue the spiritual practice. Some aspirants leave Sadhana after some time. They expect great fruits quickly. They expect many Siddhis within a short time. When they do not get some, they give up the Sadhana. There are several ranges of consciousness between the ordinary human consciousness and the supra consciousness of Brahman. Different veils have to be torn down on the way; many lower centres have to be opened up; many hurdles have to be crossed over before the final goal is reached. When you are established in the highest Nirvikalpa Samadhi, when you have reached the final goal, you have nothing to see, nothing to hear, nothing to smell, nothing to feel. You have no body-consciousness. You have full Brahmic Consciousness. There is nothing but the Self. It is a grand experience; you will be struck with awe and wonder. You have simultaneous knowledge now. Past and future are blended into the eternal present. Everything is “now”. Everything is “here”. You have gone beyond time and space.
