... Where is your husband?

……你丈夫在哪里?

In the western world meditation was not given importance because to cut off the western people from the eastern in spite of the fact that in Christianity chanting the naam of Jesus Christ and playing the rosary was a part of the Christian religion. But what happened is, when it came to change towards the protestants group, decidedly that part was totally ignored. And it was considered even today that anybody who meditates or chants or do these kind of things is away from Christianity he worships the devil and not the God.

在西方世界,冥想不受重视,因为要把西方人跟东方人切割开来,尽管事实上在基督教里,唱诵耶稣基督的圣名、拨念珠,本来就是基督教的一部分。但后来发生了什么呢?当转向新教群体的时候,那一部分被彻底抛弃了。直到今天,人们还认为,谁要是冥想、唱诵,或者做这类事情,谁就背离了基督教,他是在崇拜魔鬼,而不是神。

Taking for granted the western Christian world worship the one God then there should be no problem, they should have no mental, physical, spiritual problem at all. Granted that the eastern world was conquered by the western missionary and granted for two thousand years eastern world was not given a chance to breathe, granted that two thousand years the western took away all the raw materials from the eastern land and built up the western machinery, granted that, which are the historical facts. Granted this tremendous exploitation.

就算我们承认西方基督教世界崇拜的是那唯一的神,那就不该有任何问题,他们根本不该有心理、身体、灵性上的问题。就算我们承认东方世界被西方传教士征服了,就算我们承认两千年来东方世界连喘口气的机会都没有,就算我们承认这两千年里西方从东方土地上拿走了所有原材料,建起了西方的机器,就算我们承认这些——这些都是历史事实。就算我们承认这种巨大的剥削。

from the eastern land and built up the western machinery, granted that, which are the historical facts. Granted this tremendous exploitation.

从东方土地上拿走,建起了西方的机器,就算我们承认这些——这些都是历史事实。就算我们承认这种巨大的剥削。

Now take for example if the Arabs would have sold oil in the very beginning as twenty dollars a barrel we would not have got a one heated house in entire United States of America with oil which would have been only with the firewood. And the entire firewood have gone in the heating of the homes and not a single square foot of wood would have been exported. If all the copper and the nickel of the African country would have been sold at a reasonable rate to the west there would not have been a profit at all. Profit making and becoming a great nation can be learned in the modern times from the British kingdom. Britain was a great empire, sun never set on it and now sun never rises there.

现在举个例子,如果阿拉伯人一开始卖石油就卖二十美元一桶,那整个美利坚合众国连一间用石油取暖的房子都不会有,只能靠柴火。而所有的柴火都会用在给家里取暖上,一平方英尺的木材都别想出口。如果非洲国家的铜和镍都以合理的价格卖给西方,那根本就不会有利润。赚钱、成为大国,在现代你可以向大英帝国学习。英国曾是个大帝国,太阳永不落,如今太阳在那里永不升起。

That's the one example in the most modern time in history you can see. The great Britain is so depressed today and every person is so depressed today they do not know what to do with all the glory they have.

这是你能看到的历史上最近的一个例子。大不列颠今天如此沮丧,今天每个人都如此沮丧,他们不知道自己拥有的那一切荣耀该怎么办。

you can see. The great Britain is so depressed today and every person is so depressed today they do not know what to do with all the glory they have.

你能看到。大不列颠今天如此沮丧,今天每个人都如此沮丧,他们不知道自己拥有的那一切荣耀该怎么办。

So glory cannot hold you, money cannot hold you, profit cannot hold you, vastness cannot hold you. What can hold you as a man, as a individual unit, as a combined unit which is a nation, which is a kabila which is called group or which you call a religion or a specific religion with specific practice is called denomination, if the mind of the person is given chance to be pure. If there is some ritual, some rite performed each day to clean the mind. There is no fight about it, because you have three bodies, one is a spiritual body, other is a mental body, third is a physical body.

所以荣耀抓不住你,金钱抓不住你,利益抓不住你,浩瀚也抓不住你。什么能抓住你这个人,这个个体单位,这个组合单位——一个国家,一个叫群体的 kabila,或者你称之为宗教,或带着特定修持的特定宗教,那叫教派——只要这个人的心智有机会变得纯净。只要每天有一些仪式、一些礼节,用来清理心智。这没什么可争的,因为你有三个身体,一个是灵性身体,另一个是心智身体,第三个是肉体。
