四月二十五日

 

狂熱匆忙和漸進演化

 

      靈性的成長是循序漸進的，它是一種進化的過程。你不應該是處在一種狂熱似的渴望想立刻達到一種偉大瑜珈士的技藝，或想在兩三個月裏便進入了三摩地意識裡 。瑜珈的學習有如攀梯，你必須要一步一步來，這個靈性的道路是必須要一個階段完方接下一個階段的。。

Feverish Hurry and Progressive Evolution

 

             Spiritual growth is gradual. There is progressive evolution. You should not be in a feverish hurry to accomplish great Yogic feats or enter into Nirvikalpa Samadhi in two or three months. You will have to ascend the ladder of Yoga step by step. You will have to march in the spiritual path stage by stage.

靈修路上的危險陷阱-- 2

 

    犯罪和邪惡好像已變成了愈來愈多的習慣了，人們甚至沒有感覺到他們是不斷的和邪惡及罪過為伍‧

而最大的危害是，他們對如此的狀況仍然冥頑不靈毫無自知，有些靈修者尚未達到高階的練習卻被一些幻象和迷惑，自以為已經到達了非常進階的靈性修行‧他認為他已習得了不執著的態度，並可以處在任何形式的活動中毫不受影響‧

     在這種嚴重的妄想下，他允許自己恣肆和不能容忍批評，，一點反對的聲音都接受不了，完全不顧別人的感受，亦完全聽不進任何的勸告和糾正‧所有的分辨力，判斷力和自省的智慧都完全消失不見了‧連一些基本的禮儀和文化素養也沒有，甚至去抨擊受人尊重的人和長者,和一些有著高尚靈魂的人。

在希求成為靈性的大志者前，要全然的去了解倫理道德才是最重要的‧

一個懷有大志者需要很小心的去避免成為一個自我欺騙的危險狀況，不斷的警惕和自省自己，當已被淨化和準備時，這個神性的恩典將自然而然的在心裡出現啟發著我們。

Perilous Pitfalls on the Path - 2

    Sinning and evil has become so much a habit with man that he never feels that he is committing them even though day and night he is doing so constantly. And the greatest harm is done by the fact that even while in this unregenerate state, the aspirant becomes deluded by Maya into thinking that he has already progressed considerably in spirituality. He deceives himself with the thought that as far as he is concerned he is pretty advanced in Sadhana. He thinks that he has acquired that Nirlipta (unattached) attitude where he can commit any form of act and yet remain unaffected by it.

       Under this grave delusion he allows himself to be unrestrained and runs wild, intolerant of criticism, resentful of the least opposition, utterly disregardful of others’ feelings and absolutely unamenable to advice and correction. All sense of discrimination, sane judgment and introspection vanish from him. Even the common courtesy and culture possessed by an ordinary worldly man take leave of the aspirant on account of his presumption of spiritual advancement and growth in wisdom. He becomes disposed to attack even venerable and elderly persons and spiritually superior souls. Fully realize the importance of becoming a changed man ethically and morally, before you can claim to be a Sadhaka. The aspirant should carefully avoid the dangers of self-deception by constant vigilance and introspection. When his nature is changed, purified and prepared, the Divine Grace will spontaneously flood his Heart and enlighten him.

靈修路上的危險陷阱- 1

 

      開始靈性生活時必須要清楚的了解到真正的”人性”。

 

誠心的慢慢剷除驕傲、自我、和忌妒，認真的和不斷的反省自己的缺點和改善自身 ，處在進步的希望中‧

若是沒有這樣的基礎，任何型態的靈修最終都會變成迷惑和無用‧它會讓靈修者自我膨脹，更驕傲，和更自我‧

當自我膨脹，驕傲，和自我發生時，所有好的建議和教導就如崩潰無所用。

 

要避免陷入這樣的狀況，永遠的保持警戒，靈修的生活是不可輕忽的事啊!

Perilous Pitfalls on the Path - 1

 

     Right from the very beginning of one’s spiritual life, one must understand clearly that in true “ humanity” – sincere desire to root out gradually pride, egoism and jealousy, earnest and unceasing introspection to find out one’s own defects and improve oneself – lies one’s hope of progress. Without this basis, any form of Sadhana becomes a delusion and waste. It makes the aspirant puffed up, more proud and egoistic. When this happens, all good advice and instructions fall flat upon him. Higher influences cease to have any effect as the aspirant becomes deliberately and obstinately non-receptive to them. Eternal vigilance should be exercised if he is to avoid falling into this dangerous state. Spiritual life is not a light matter.

 

>.和三摩地相似的精神狀態

三月二十一日

 

和三摩地相似的精神狀態

 

    有時意識會有一小段的時間停在一個靜止的狀況^註一(TUSHNIM AVASTHA三摩地的一種狀況)。

 

在這樣的狀況下意識是呈現二元的狀態，沒有好或壞，愛或恨。

這種安靜的精神狀態我們叫做意識的自然狀態，它是一種意識清醒的狀態。

 

有些靈修者誤以為在這種中間的狀況下就是三摩地的狀態，這與宇宙覺知連結的妨礙，但也是必須經過的路。因而要小心的內省自己，及經常的冥想來克服這種障礙。

 

經由經驗和極度的敏銳性，一個追求靈性的大志者可以分辨的出意識真正的多樣性，調整並採取有效的方法來掌控它們。

 

Dada釋義:

     這真是在瑜珈靈修中有趣的高階深入體驗啊!對三摩地做出基本且重要的說明:

註一 : 三摩地有三種狀態。一、是清醒的狀態JAGRATA AVASTA;二是在睡夢中SWAPNA；三是深睡的狀況SUSHUPTHA。而第四種則介於深睡和清醒之間TUSHNIM AVASTHA。

   

在介於第四種則介於深睡和清醒之間TUSHNIM AVASTHA。是最易讓一些修習者迷惑的，以為當那種迷茫和短暫失去身體覺知的狀況便是三摩地，其實是誤解。

TUSHNIM AVASTHA三摩地(我們可稱它為昏沉的狀態)的狀況。是介於深睡和清醒之間，一般人若在靜坐時快進入到睡著時和打瞌睡時，會短暫失去，身體是沉重的。但到達TUSHNIM AVASTHA三摩地時身心的感覺是輕盈的，沒有雜思和任和思緒的。這是其顯著的不同。

Samadhi and Certain Similar Mental state

 

    For a short time, sometimes the mind finds itself in quiescence. In this state of mind there is neither Raja nor Dvesha; this silent mental state is called Tushnim Avastha It occurs in waking state , the Jagrat Avastha. The aspirant mistakes this neutral state of mind, for Samadhi. This is an obstacle on the path of God-realization, and should, therefore, be overcome by careful introspection and vigorous meditation. Through experience and acute acumen, a Sadhaka can find out exactly the nature of the various states of mind. He should adopt effective methods to control them.
