... Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh!
……Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo Ji Ka Khalsa,Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo Ji Ki Fateh!
We sit here today to understand the cycle of life. Now it is said there are about four and a half billion people on earth and each one has his own happiness and each one has his own pain. This has been going on from the time Immemorial and shall be going on till time Immemorial because in the words of the Guru,
我们今天坐在这里,是为了理解生命的循环。据说地球上大约有四十五亿人,每个人都有自己的快乐,每个人都有自己的痛苦。从无始以来一直如此,也会一直延续到无始之后,因为用古茹的话说,
"Naanak dukhiaa sabh sansaar, so sukhiaa jas naam udhaar. "
「Naanak dukhiaa sabh sansaar,so sukhiaa jas naam udhaar。」
'Nanak the whole world is in pain only happy are those who have meditated on God. '
「那纳克啊,整个世界都在痛苦中,只有那些冥想神的人才快乐。」
Now, that's a statement. The other statement is that millions and millions of us people we want to become spiritual and we want to walk towards the spirit of God and then we for that path we belong either to the religion which our parents gave us or to the religion we adapted or we freaked out or we want to be somebody. Or sometime we feel that whether we walk on certain path or we don't walk on certain path we are religious. We have degree of religion and degree of appreciation and degree towards God, whole thing is judged by human emotions. How you feel, how we don't feel, who is who? Some people have nothing, they feel they have got everything.
这是一句话。另一句话是,我们千千万万的人都想变得有灵性,都想走向神的灵,为了那条路,我们要么属于父母给我们的宗教,要么属于我们自己接受的宗教,要么我们崩溃了,要么我们想成为某个人。或者有时候我们觉得,不管我们走某条路还是不走某条路,我们都是虔诚的。我们有虔诚的程度、欣赏的程度、朝向神的程度,整件事都由人的情绪来评判。你感觉怎样,我们不感觉怎样,谁是谁?有些人什么都没有,却觉得自己拥有了一切。
whole thing is judged by human emotions. How you feel, how we don't feel, who is who? Some people have nothing, they feel they have got everything.
整件事都由人的情绪来评判。你感觉怎样,我们不感觉怎样,谁是谁?有些人什么都没有,却觉得自己拥有了一切。
Some people have everything they feel they have got nothing, it goes on.
有些人拥有一切,却觉得自己什么都没有,就这样一直下去。
But in America I have very strangely found something. Americans in general have one religion and that is their money. If anything can make you feel good earth wise or monetary wise or something like that, you feel very happy about it. And when things go little bit wrong and rough, things are going to go rough anyway whether you like them or not because this continent which is called United States of America you have exploited in two hundred years and brought to the point that it can't even hold you, so what you can do.
但在美国,我很奇怪地发现了一件事。美国人总体上只有一个宗教,那就是他们的钱。只要有什么事能让你在世俗层面或金钱层面感觉好,或者类似的东西,你就会为此非常高兴。而当事情稍微出点错、变得艰难时——事情反正都会变得艰难,不管你喜不喜欢,因为这块叫做美利坚合众国的大陆,你们在200年里把它榨干了,弄到它连你们都承载不住的地步,那你还能怎么办。
You stretch something so fast, so vast, and so stupidly and then you think that you have the right to be happy and totally taken care of, well it's not possible, take it from there. And what should happen is that you should confront the possibility that you cannot exploit anything you want and then you will start turning towards the mind and towards the soul and try to understand your mistake.
你把什么东西拉得那么快、那么大、那么愚蠢,然后你还以为自己有权快乐、有权被完全照顾,这根本不可能,就从这里接受吧。应该发生的是,你要面对这个可能性:你不可能想榨取什么就榨取什么,然后你就会开始转向心智、转向灵魂,试着去理解自己的错误。
that you cannot exploit anything you want and then you will start turning towards the mind and towards the soul and try to understand your mistake.
你不可能想榨取什么就榨取什么,然后你就会开始转向心智、转向灵魂,试着去理解自己的错误。
So, I fully understand the Indian continent was known as a place where milk flows in the rivers and honey hangs on everywhere and people were rich. If you understand the people who visited that continent and talked about it you will be shocked. In those days America was nothing but there were few bunch of Indian tribes here and there somewhere. And what they talked about the wealth and the character of the people one man Chinese traveler Huan Tsang said, "Everywhere I go I asked for a glass of water they gave me a glass of milk and no where they gave me a glass of milk in anything other than a silver glass.
所以,我完全明白,印度次大陆曾被称为一个河流里流着牛奶、到处挂着蜂蜜、人民富足的地方。如果你了解那些到过那片大陆并谈论它的人,你会震惊。那时候美国什么都不是,只是这儿那儿散着几群印第安部落。而他们谈到的财富和人民的品性,有一位中国旅行者玄奘说:“我走到哪里,要一杯水,他们给我一杯牛奶,而且他们给我牛奶,从来不会用银杯以外的东西盛。
I go I asked for a glass of water they gave me a glass of milk and no where they gave me a glass of milk in anything other than a silver glass.
我走到哪里,要一杯水,他们给我一杯牛奶,而且他们给我牛奶,从来不会用银杯以外的东西盛。
In every house I ate the food was lavish that I couldn't decide what to eat and what not to and when I left the house they gave me a gold piece and thanked me for coming. " And he said, "Anywhere I have visited I have not found a single door closed, people live in trust, people live in peace and people are fabulously rich and every life is very lavish. " Even he described somewhere that in one boat where he traveled through the river he said, "I could not say that this is a gold boat but the decoration and the work done by the gold and silver and for ordinary passenger is he says, it's not a special boat," but that is how richness and lavishness was, that was one time.
我在每一户人家吃到的食物都极其丰盛,我都没法决定该吃什么、不该吃什么,等我离开那户人家,他们给我一枚金币,还感谢我来做客。”他还说:“凡是我到过的地方,我没见过一扇门是关着的,人们活在信任里,活在和平里,富得惊人,每一种生活都极其奢华。”他甚至在某处描述过,他坐一条船沿河而行,他说:“我不能说这是一条金船,但上面的装饰、用金银做的工艺,对普通乘客来说,”他说,“这不算什么特别的船,”可这就是那时的富足与奢华,那是曾经的一个时代。
the gold and silver and for ordinary passenger is he says, it's not a special boat," but that is how richness and lavishness was, that was one time.
用金银做的工艺,对普通乘客来说,”他说,“这不算什么特别的船,”可这就是那时的富足与奢华,那是曾经的一个时代。
There was a time when thousands and thousands people died and we didn't have a handful of grains to save their lives, so things can go up and down. If today we don't have a nuclear war it is not that because Russia doesn't want to do something and America is very strong to do it, fact is that Russians are not getting a good weather and they don't have a food. So when there is no food at home you can't afford a war, it is as simple as that.
曾经有一个时期,成千上万的人死去,我们却没有一把粮食能救他们的命,所以事情会有起有落。如果今天没有爆发核战争,并不是因为俄罗斯不想动手、美国强大到能动手,事实是俄罗斯人天气不好,他们没有粮食。所以家里没粮食的时候,你打不起一场战争,就这么简单。
So basically our politics our social life and our things are based on differently. But one thing is very unfortunate, here in the congregation who we are we are but some people do, some people came on the path in the Guru's way and they are all right but they do not have the strength to continue. And we have not manifested yet a very rhythmic system in the community to offer ourself as a support to those who are spiritually ailing or spiritually sick. We have not yet made ourself available.
所以基本上,我们的政治、我们的社会生活、我们的种种事情,基础都不一样。但有一件事非常不幸:在这里的共修团体里,我们是谁?我们就是这些人,但有些人确实走上了古茹的道路,他们都没问题,可是他们没有力量继续走下去。而我们还没有在社区里建立起一套很有节奏的体系,把自己作为支持提供给那些在灵性上生病、灵性上有疾的人。我们还没有让自己成为可用的支持。
system in the community to offer ourself as a support to those who are spiritually ailing or spiritually sick. We have not yet made ourself available.
社区里的体系,把自己作为支持提供给那些在灵性上生病、灵性上有疾的人。我们还没有让自己成为可用的支持。
Even all this hierarchies this Mukiya Singh Sahib and Singh Sahib and these ministers and people who think they are very good and whatever you want to call them, have not developed an basic idea that I call it spiritual nursing. In a community where there is no hospital and there is no dispensary and there is no doctor and there is no first aid and there is no ambulance available how can you live in that community? And that's not only the problem with us, it's a problem with every spiritual community. In the spiritual community I have realized something very fantastic when somebody starts falling or going down the hill everybody kicks him, good-bye.
就连所有这些层级——这位首席教士阁下、那位教士阁下,还有这些牧师,以及那些自认为很好的人,不管你想怎么称呼他们——都还没有发展出一个基本观念,我把它叫做灵性护理。在一个没有医院、没有药房、没有医生、没有急救、没有救护车的社区里,你怎么可能住下去?这不只是我们的问题,这是每一个灵性社区的问题。在灵性社区里,我体会到一件非常奇妙的事:当有人开始往下掉、往山下滑的时候,每个人都踹他一脚,再见。
I asked somebody, I said, "Why don't you call so and so and talk to her? "
我问过一个人,我说:「你为什么不给某某打个电话,跟她聊聊?」
And she said, "It's a waste of time, she is a freak. "
她说:「那是浪费时间,她是个怪人。」
I said, "What a great pleasure it can be than to talk to a freak? "
我说:「跟一个怪人聊天,还有比这更大的乐趣吗?」
If one who loves God cannot talk to the one who is godless person what is the use to belong to God. What is the big idea?
如果一个爱神的人不能跟一个不信神的人说话,那他属于神又有什么用?这算什么大道理?
than to talk to a freak? "
还有比跟一个怪人聊天更大的乐趣吗?」
If one who loves God cannot talk to the one who is godless person what is the use to belong to God. What is the big idea?
如果一个爱神的人不能跟一个不信神的人说话,那他属于神又有什么用?这算什么大道理?
Life is a challenge in itself. Life is a weakness in itself. And life is always up and down. There is a very unfortunate part which I want to discuss with you. When you do not walk on the path of God you are miserable. When you talk and walk on a path of God you are miserable. But each time the miserability is different, miserability doesn't leave. Only you won't be miserable if you only understand one thing and that is that you are walking towards God and you feel that Infinity, the attitude of service, seva. If you make life as a seva, pain will go away. That's what it is.
生命本身就是一场挑战。生命本身就是一种软弱。生命总是起起落落。有一个非常不幸的部分,我想和你们讨论。当你不走在神的道路上时,你很痛苦。当你谈论并走在神的道路上时,你也很痛苦。但每一次的痛苦都不一样,痛苦不会离开。只有当你明白一件事,你才不会痛苦,那就是:你正走向神,你感受到那个无限,以及服务的态度,seva。如果你把生命当成seva,痛苦就会消失。就是这样。
are walking towards God and you feel that Infinity, the attitude of service, seva. If you make life as a seva, pain will go away. That's what it is.
正走向神,你感受到那个无限,服务的态度,seva。如果你把生活当成一种 seva,痛苦就会消失。就是这样。
What I found out when I came twelve, fourteen years ago that don't get involved with people they are unaware anyway, so there is no problem. Problem is that if somebody has a problem and becomes little bit of aware of, little bit and that person approaches you and that's the time to help and elevate them. It is the process of elevating others which is the process of joy. There is no other way. If you think the man who is a spiritual he is supposed to get the best of the bread and who is not spiritual is not going to get his bread, you are wrong. May be the one who does not believe in God has a better bread than one who believes.
十二、十四年前我刚来的时候发现,不要跟人纠缠,他们本来就没有觉知,所以没问题。问题在于,如果某人有问题,稍微有了一点觉知,一点点,而那个人来找你,那才是帮助他、提升他的时候。提升他人,就是喜悦的过程。没有别的路。如果你以为灵性的人就该拿到最好的面包,不灵性的人就得不到他的面包,你错了。也许不信神的人,面包比信神的人还好。
is not spiritual is not going to get his bread, you are wrong. May be the one who does not believe in God has a better bread than one who believes.
不灵性的人就得不到他的面包,你错了。也许不信神的人,面包比信神的人还好。
It has been seen lot of time that people who are very spiritual their environments are very, very tight and people who are not spiritual they are very, very lavish. Because the principle is the man who is spiritual has definite principles to follow, different directions to go. He has a set limits, his set up is very, very refined and confining and sophisticated. The person who is not spiritual is a bizarre, it can do anything. It doesn't mean anything, very insensitive people.
很多时候都能看到,很灵性的人,他们的环境非常非常紧;不灵性的人,却非常非常奢华。因为原则是:灵性的人有明确的准则要遵守,有不同方向要走。他有固定的界限,他的格局非常非常精细、受限、讲究。不灵性的人则是个怪胎,什么都干得出来。那不代表什么,是非常不敏感的人。
What is spirituality? It is a sensitivity towards God, what is a love? It's a sensitivity, it's a continuous sensitivity, it is not emotional. Emotionalism is not a part of love at all. It has nothing to do with love; emotions and commotions and feeling and understanding and making love or hating person and all this has nothing to do. It has absolutely no touch with reality. How much rich you are, how much poor you are, how much pretty you are, how much clean you are, how much ugly you are, all that has nothing to do between God and you.
什么是灵性?它是对神的敏感。什么是爱?它是一种敏感,一种持续的敏感,它不是情绪。情绪化根本不是爱的一部分。它跟爱毫无关系;情绪、骚动、感觉、理解、做爱或恨一个人,这一切都无关。它跟现实完全没有接触。你多有钱,你多穷,你多漂亮,你多干净,你多丑,这一切在神和你之间都无关。
are, how much poor you are, how much pretty you are, how much clean you are, how much ugly you are, all that has nothing to do between God and you.
你多穷,你多漂亮,你多干净,你多丑,这一切在神和你之间都无关。
If God deals with your sentiments and your sensitivity and your cleanliness and all that then I think the God has no other work but expect getting into this whole scene. We remain clean, we decorate ourself, we wear jewelry, we'll come before the Gurdwara, we become the Sat sangath to become attractive. Man of God becomes very pretty, clean, simple and attractive to attract others towards cleanliness, towards Godliness, it's a seva.
如果神要处理你的情感、你的敏感、你的洁净以及所有那些,那我觉得神就没别的事可做了,只能整天掺和进这一摊子。我们保持洁净,我们打扮自己,我们戴上珠宝,我们来到谒师所(Gurdwara)前,我们成为灵性共修团体(Sat sangath),好让自己有吸引力。属于神的人变得非常漂亮、洁净、简单而有吸引力,为的是把别人吸引向洁净、吸引向神性,这是一种服务(seva)。
When you go and meet somebody you get very impressively the right to impress other person, similarly when you come to the temple you come to the Gurdwara, you come to meditate, you do all that to feel good, to make others feel good. But beyond that there is nothing much but there is one thing, if you have constant sensitivity, constant sensitivity towards God and Guru you shall have no pain.
你去见某个人时,你很有气势地拿到一种权利,去打动对方;同样,你来寺庙、来谒师所,你来冥想,你做这一切是为了感觉好,也让别人感觉好。但除此之外没什么大不了的,不过有一件事:如果你对神和古茹(Guru)有持续的敏感,持续的敏感,你就不会有痛苦。
there is nothing much but there is one thing, if you have constant sensitivity, constant sensitivity towards God and Guru you shall have no pain. You know, your idea is, 'I miss you, I love you, I want to be with you, I am not with you, you didn't call me, I didn't call you, I didn't send you any gift, this is my very humble gift, I couldn't give you more,' all that business bargains broad situation.
没什么大不了的,不过有一件事:如果你对神和古茹有持续的敏感,持续的敏感,你就不会有痛苦。你知道,你的想法是:「我想你,我爱你,我想和你在一起,我没和你在一起,你没打电话给我,我没打电话给你,我没送你任何礼物,这是我非常微薄的礼物,我没法给你更多。」全是这一套交易、讨价还价、大局面。
I call it party line, party politics, you do with God. When you get up one day in the morning for Sadhana you feel very good and then you say God must be around me all day sure, as He has no other time. What God should do with the guy who is playing is golf He has to see him, rather God will like to see some neurotic rather than you. You are already on the path why should anybody worry about you. Children who are very sensitive and sensible and very beautiful, parents don't keep a watch on them but if somebody has a neurotic child he is going to, where is she, what is wrong, what is going on, what is happening?
我把它叫做党派路线、党派政治,你就是这么跟神玩的。哪天早上你起来做萨达那(Sadhana),你感觉非常好,然后你说,神一定整天都在我身边,肯定的,因为他没别的时间。神该拿那个打高尔夫球的家伙怎么办?他得去看他,神反倒宁愿看一个神经质的人,也不愿看你。你已经在路上了,谁还该为你操心。那些非常敏感、懂事又非常漂亮的孩子,父母不会盯着他们;但如果谁有个神经质的孩子,他就会一直问,她在哪儿,出什么事了,怎么回事,发生什么了?
don't keep a watch on them but if somebody has a neurotic child he is going to, where is she, what is wrong, what is going on, what is happening?
不会盯着他们;但如果谁有个神经质的孩子,他就会一直问,她在哪儿,出什么事了,怎么回事,发生什么了?
So basically your fulfillment cannot come by the feeling of God giving you gift or going around you, that's not possible. And neither your feelings can come through your super powers, occult powers. It's not that when you walk on the path of God you should be richer, those who don't they should be poor, if they should... (?) welcome they start getting poor that's okay but don't expect much. There is a one joy which you don't enjoy and that is the joy of the longing. Longing to belong, it's a sensitivity that it makes everything else as insensitive, it's a state of painlessness, they call it state of ecstasy. And that is when you feel and you feel to feel the longing to belong.
所以基本上,你的满足感不可能来自神给你礼物的感觉,或者神在你身边转来转去,那是不可能的。你的感受也不可能通过你的超能力、神通而来。并不是说,当你走在神的道路上时,你就应该更富有,那些不走的人就应该贫穷,如果他们应该……(?)欢迎,他们开始变穷,那没关系,但别期望太多。有一种喜悦你没有享受,那就是渴望的喜悦。渴望归属,它是一种敏感,让其他一切都变得不敏感,它是一种无痛的状态,他们称之为狂喜的状态。而那就是当你感受,你感受着去感受那渴望归属的时候。
as insensitive, it's a state of painlessness, they call it state of ecstasy. And that is when you feel and you feel to feel the longing to belong.
让其他一切都变得不敏感,它是一种无痛的状态,他们称之为狂喜的状态。而那就是当你感受,你感受着去感受那渴望归属的时候。
When you belong matter ends. Yog is to join, pog is that you have already joined and enjoyed. When you weave a cloth it is a yog, you are putting length and breadth together and weaving it. Paag is when you take a cloth and separate it, trrrr, it takes one second. Same cloth, same you. The joy which each one of you can enjoy is your depth, depth to long and it's endless.
当你归属时,事情就结束了。Yog 是联结,pog 是你已经联结并享受了。当你织一块布时,那就是 yog,你把长度和宽度放在一起编织。Paag 是当你拿一块布把它分开,唰,只要一秒钟。同样的布,同样的你。你们每个人都能享受的喜悦,是你的深度,渴望的深度,它是无止境的。
And I'll end up with a story. Once somebody fell in love with God and prayed and prayed, God didn't appear. He got very mad, did everything he knew God didn't appear. Got super mad, so one day he started yelling and screaming and behaving like a neurotic person and then God appeared. He said, "What is wrong with you? "
我以一个故事来结束。有一次,有人爱上了神,祈祷了又祈祷,神没有出现。他非常生气,做了他所知道的一切,神没有出现。气得发疯,所以有一天他开始大喊大叫,表现得像个神经病,然后神出现了。他说:「你怎么了?」
He said, "Well, I worship you so much you didn't show up, and just today one day I have done everything in the world wrong and here you are. "
他说:「我那么崇拜你,你都不出现,就今天这一天,我把世上所有错事都做了,你就来了。」
you? "
你?」
He said, "Well, I worship you so much you didn't show up, and just today one day I have done everything in the world wrong and here you are. "
他说:「我那么崇拜你,你都不出现,就今天这一天,我把世上所有错事都做了,你就来了。」
And God said, "When I didn't show up before you I was showing myself through you. When I did not show up before you like a criminal as I am now I was showing my grace through you but now you have gone nuts I have just come personally to ask you what is wrong. "
神说:「当我在你面前不出现时,我正通过你展现我自己。当我像个罪犯一样不在你面前出现,就像我现在这样,我正通过你展现我的优雅,但现在你疯了,我亲自来问你,怎么了。」
He said, "I wanted to see you. "
他说:「我想见到你。」
He said, "Fool, nobody can see me, I am seen and unseen. I am very powerful, very unlimited, very beautiful when I am unseen and then when I was you, now you are separate me and you, tell me what I can do for you? "
他说:「傻瓜,没人能看见我,我被看见,也不被看见。我非常强大,非常无限,非常美丽,当我不被看见的时候,然后当我就是你的时候,现在你把我和你分开了,告诉我,我能为你做什么?」
What you can ask God?
你能向神求什么?
And he said, "I want to be you. "
他说:「我想成为你。」
He said, "That's is what I was all along. "
他说:「那正是我一直以来的样子。」
He said, "God I don't believe you, it's not true. Now you are fooling me, you were in me, I was with you everybody was seeing me through you and now you are telling me that I have gone nuts, it is no relationship anymore," God said, "Let us make a deal. Whenever you call me I'll be before you, whenever. Whenever you call me I'll be with you, but I'll not be through you. "
他说:“神啊,我不信你,这不是真的。你现在在骗我,你曾在我里面,我和你在一起,所有人都透过你看见我,现在你却告诉我我疯了,再也没有什么关系了。”神说:“我们做个交易吧。无论何时你呼唤我,我都会在你面前,无论何时。无论何时你呼唤我,我都会与你同在,但我不会再透过你显现。”
He said, "Good deal, I'll see. "
他说:“好交易,我等着瞧。”
you call me I'll be before you, whenever. Whenever you call me I'll be with you, but I'll not be through you. "
你呼唤我,我就会在你面前,无论何时。无论何时你呼唤我,我都会与你同在,但我不会再透过你显现。”
He said, "Good deal, I'll see. "
他说:“好交易,我等着瞧。”
So he went to some place, he used to sit there and lot of people will come around you, so he went to that same place started sitting, meditating. When he opened his eyes there were none, nobody. He called on God, God appeared.
于是他去了某个地方,他过去常坐在那里,很多人会围到你身边来,所以他去了同一个地方,开始坐在那里,冥想。当他睁开眼睛时,一个人都没有,没有人。他呼唤神,神出现了。
He said, "What happened? "
他说:“怎么回事?”
He said, "They used to come for me through you, now you call me I come, they are not to come, what should they come for. Game is over. "
他说:“他们过去是透过你才来找我的,现在你叫我我就来,他们不会来了,他们来干什么呢。游戏结束了。”
He said, "I don't believe go, go, you are no good God, what kind of God I have got now, giving me a bad time. "
他说:“我不信,走,走,你是个没用的神,我现在得到的是什么样的神啊,让我这么难受。”
Just purely simply childish; then he used to go some place where everybody will come there to love, to sit around him and eat around him and be around him, he went there and he occupied, used to occupy the big table so that everybody can come and sit around that place. He Sat there and ate, and ate and ate and ate and nobody even looked at him, none.
纯粹就是孩子气;然后他过去常去某个地方,所有人都会到那里去爱、去坐在他周围、在他周围吃东西、在他周围待着,他去了那里,他占着,过去常占着那张大桌子,好让所有人都能过来围坐在那个地方。他坐在那里吃,吃啊吃啊吃啊吃啊,没有一个人哪怕看他一眼,一个都没有。
He called God, God appeared, he said, "eat with me," God ate, they both ate, matter ended.
他呼唤神,神出现了,他说:“和我一起吃,”神吃了,他们俩一起吃了,事情就结束了。
He said, "Now I can go? "
他说:“现在我可以走了吗?”
He said, "Go. "
他说:“走吧。”
He said, "Why those people didn't come? "
他说:“为什么那些人没有来?”
he said, "eat with me," God ate, they both ate, matter ended.
他说:“和我一起吃,”神吃了,他们俩一起吃了,事情就结束了。
He said, "Now I can go? "
他说:“现在我可以走了吗?”
He said, "Go. "
他说:“走吧。”
He said, "Why those people didn't come? "
他说:“为什么那些人没有来?”
He said, "No they used to come and in your presence they used to be elevated. Now you are just you, you are minus me. "
他说:“不,他们过去常来,在你的临在中他们过去常被提升。现在你只是你,你少了我。”
There is two ways to relate to God, relate to God or let the God's presence relate through you. There is a gross bizarre way and there is a sophisticated graceful way. Guru's way is different than all other ways which I have understood and studied. You should understand Guru's way is when the Guru deals through your presence. That is why Guru said,
与神建立关系有两种方式,与神建立关系,或者让神的临在透过你建立关系。有一种粗陋怪异的方式,也有一种精妙优雅的方式。古茹的方式与我理解和研究过的所有其他方式都不同。你应该明白,古茹的方式是当古茹透过你的临在来运作。这就是为什么古茹说,
"Khalsa mera roop hein khas"
“Khalsa mera roop hein khas”
You are my special presence.
你是我特别的临在。
"Khaalsaa mein huon, karao nivaas. "
“Khaalsaa mein huon, karao nivaas。”
I live in the Khalsa, this has to be understood.
我住在卡尔萨里,这一点必须被理解。
mera roop hein khas"
mera roop hein khas”
You are my special presence.
你是我特别的临在。
"Khaalsaa mein huon, karao nivaas. "
“Khaalsaa mein huon, karao nivaas。”
I live in the Khalsa, this has to be understood.
我住在卡尔萨里,这一点必须被理解。
Actually the spiritual life is that better, that's why you are given the bana, you are given the bani, you are given the seva, you are given the Simran. Through Simran you can charge yourself, through seva you can elevate anybody and with bana the God's presence can work through you and through bani God can be communicated through you. In your presence, through your presence by your presence God can serve other people. And through bani God can be communicated to other people, through seva you can elevate other people, through Simran you can always elevate your self. So the process is very complete. It is that complete process will bring you delightfulness.
其实灵性生活是更好的,所以你们被赐予了灵性装束(bana),被赐予了圣言(bani),被赐予了服务(seva),被赐予了忆念(Simran)。通过忆念你可以给自己充电,通过服务你可以提升任何人,而有了灵性装束,神的临在就能通过你运作,通过圣言,神就能通过你被传达。在你的临在中,通过你的临在,借着你的临在,神可以服务其他人。通过圣言,神可以被传达给其他人,通过服务你可以提升其他人,通过忆念你可以永远提升你自己。所以这个过程非常完整。正是那个完整的过程会带给你喜悦。
people, through Simran you can always elevate your self. So the process is very complete. It is that complete process will bring you delightfulness.
人们,通过忆念你可以永远提升你自己。所以这个过程非常完整。正是那个完整的过程会带给你喜悦。
That's why we dress up for God because we have longing, that's why we believe in God because we have longing, because that's why we read the bani that we have the communication of God. There is nothing to convince. There is nothing to reason, there is nothing to argue, there is actually to be very frank, nothing to say. All what we say and we speak, now I am speaking to you, actually it is a duty to reach you, but you actually you love me and I love you, you can close your eyes you sit, we all can be at the same horizon, same level in the same space all of us right now and we can totally enjoy that. When children come to Gurudwara you may get upset they make noise, they cry, it's okay.
所以我们为神盛装打扮,因为我们有渴望,所以我们信仰神,因为我们有渴望,所以我们读圣言,因为我们有与神的沟通。没有什么需要说服。没有什么需要推理,没有什么需要争辩,说实话,没有什么需要说。我们所说的一切、所讲的一切,现在我在对你们讲话,其实这是一种责任,要触及你们,但实际上你们爱我,我爱你们,你们可以闭上眼睛坐着,我们所有人此刻都可以处在同一个地平线、同一个层次、同一个空间里,我们可以完全享受那个。当孩子们来到谒师所(Gurudwara),你可能会心烦,他们吵闹、他们哭,没关系。
They are not aware they are in Gurudwara.
他们不知道自己在谒师所里。
totally enjoy that. When children come to Gurudwara you may get upset they make noise, they cry, it's okay.
完全享受那个。当孩子们来到谒师所,你可能会心烦,他们吵闹、他们哭,没关系。
They are not aware they are in Gurudwara.
他们不知道自己在谒师所里。
Now this is the problem, they are not aware in the Gurudwara therefore they make noise, okay. You are present in the Gurudwara you sit silent, you close the eyes, but you are not also in Gurudwara, your mind is going somewhere, my car God knows did I park it right or not, I think I have left my key in it. They are not here, you are not here then who is here? You are mentally not here, they are physically not here, they are not aware they are here, you are not aware you are here.
现在问题就在这里,他们不知道自己在谒师所里,所以他们吵闹,好吧。你人在谒师所里,你静静坐着,你闭上眼睛,但你也不在谒师所里,你的心智跑到别处去了,我的车,天知道我倒车入库停对了没有,我想我把钥匙落在车里了。他们不在这里,你也不在这里,那谁在这里?你在心智上不在这里,他们在身体上不在这里,他们不知道自己在 这里,你不知道自己在这里。
One girl I was counseling, she said, "I can't go and sit in that Gurudwara. "
有个女孩,我给她做咨询,她说:「我没法去那个谒师所坐着。」
I said, "Surely you can't go and sit in that Gurudwara. I agree with you. Don't go and sit in the Gurudwara. What is the use of going to Gurudwara and sit in a Gurudwara when you are totally mindless. "
我说:「你当然没法去那个谒师所坐着。我同意你。别去谒师所坐着。当你完全没有心智的时候,去谒师所、坐在谒师所里有什么用。」
I agree with you. Don't go and sit in the Gurudwara. What is the use of going to Gurudwara and sit in a Gurudwara when you are totally mindless. "
我同意你。别去谒师所坐着。当你完全没有心智的时候,去谒师所、坐在谒师所里有什么用。"
I say it is not the Gurudwara which is a problem it is you who is a problem, because you don't have mind to go to the Gurudwara and sit there. Because when you sit in a Gurudwara your mind should sit in the Gurudwara. Problem with you is you go and you sit in the Gurudwara and your mind sit somewhere else.
我说,问题不在谒师所,问题在你,因为你没有心智去谒师所坐在那里。因为当你坐在谒师所里,你的心智也应该坐在谒师所里。你的问题是,你去、你坐在谒师所里,而你的心智坐在别的地方。
I was talking to the lady she said, "Well I love Sikh Dharma I really want to belong to it, it is so much in my heart but I cannot tie turban. "
我在跟那位女士谈话,她说:「嗯,我爱锡克正法,我真的很想属于它,它在我心里占了那么多,但我不能缠头巾。」
I said, "You should not tie turban and nothing is going to be in your heart. Because it is a simple path of the saints and soldiers. Once you put a turban on nobody is going to look at you as a chick. "
我说:「你不该缠头巾,你心里也不会有什么。因为这是圣徒与战士的简单道路。一旦你戴上头巾,就没人会把你当成小妞来看。」
Your problem is that you don't want to be you, you want to be somebody else. You want to take energy for something else. Your beauty is how many people wants to date with you how many people wants to love you, how many people call you. You are not looking for God. You don't want to look for how many times God wants to be through my presence, am I worthy of the presence of the God.
你的问题是,你不想做你自己,你想做别人。你想把能量拿去用在别的事情上。你的美,是有多少人想跟你约会,有多少人想爱你,有多少人给你打电话。你不是在寻找神。你不想去看,神有多少次想通过我的临在而显现,我配不配得上神的临在。
You are not looking for God. You don't want to look for how many times God wants to be through my presence, am I worthy of the presence of the God.
你不是在寻找神。你不想去看,神有多少次想通过我的临在而显现,我配不配得上神的临在。
I said, "Did you dress this morning with this idea, am I worthy of my God? Can I house my one God in me today? Can I, am I convinced? " Arey saints are saint but saintly beauty is also required. I am not pushing things on you,
我说:「你今天早上穿衣服的时候,是带着这个念头穿的吗——我配不配得上我的神?我今天能不能把我那唯一的神安住在我里面?我能不能,我确信吗?」Arey,圣徒是圣徒,但圣洁的美也是需要的。我不是在把东西强加给你,
"Sahey mera sa tambr swamy maar brahm agam hey datta"
「Sahey mera sa tambr swamy maar brahm agam hey datta」
My God is absolutely white as light is and it's far and far away and even beyond that, that my giver is even beyond that. Arey you say you love somebody, you even do not know how to spell love. You are just creeps, use words here, use words there exactly as you do not use proper words you do not use life. You use life here, use your life, life is a force, it has been given you as a gift you can enjoy with it, you can be with God, God gave you life not separated you from it, God is with you, you are with God and God gave you life, you don't use that life for God or in relationship to God, there is no belonging.
我的神是绝对洁白的,就像光一样,它在很远很远的地方,甚至比那还远,我的赐予者甚至比那还远。Arey,你说你爱某个人,你连爱怎么拼都不知道。你们只是些猥琐的家伙,这儿用用词,那儿用用词,就像你不使用恰当的词,你就不使用生命。你在这儿使用生命,使用你的生命,生命是一种力量,它是作为礼物给你的,你可以与它同乐,你可以与神同在,神给了你生命,并没有把你与它分开,神与你同在,你与神同在,而神给了你生命,你不把那个生命用于神,或用在跟神的关系里,那就没有归属。
from it, God is with you, you are with God and God gave you life, you don't use that life for God or in relationship to God, there is no belonging.
从它,神与你同在,你与神同在,而神给了你生命,你不把那个生命用于神,或用在跟神的关系里,那就没有归属。
You have not dressed this morning to make yourself feel, I am going to go and I am going to sit there and God is going to sit through me, Guru is going to sit through me, you have no such feeling when you dress up. You feel should I look pretty, pretty for what? Who is going to, if the whole world gives you a certificate you are the pretty. I don't want to say that. I am sitting here.
你今天早上穿衣服的时候,并没有让自己感觉到:我要去,我要坐在那里,神会透过我而坐,古茹会透过我而坐——你打扮的时候没有这种感觉。你只觉得我看起来漂亮吗?漂亮给谁看?谁要看?就算全世界都给你一张证书说你漂亮,我也不想说这个。我坐在这里。
Four things-seva, Simran, bana, bani. Bana is given to you so that the presence of God can work through you. Your whole motivation should be to prepare for God, that's why,
四件事——服务(seva)、忆念(Simran)、灵性装束(bana)、圣言(bani)。灵性装束(bana)给到你,是为了让神的临在能透过你运作。你全部的动机都应该是为神做准备,正因如此,
"Khaalsaa mera satagur pooraa. "
「Khaalsaa mera satagur pooraa。」
so that the presence of God can work through you. Your whole motivation should be to prepare for God, that's why,
是为了让神的临在能透过你运作。你全部的动机都应该是为神做准备,正因如此,
"Khaalsaa mera satagur pooraa. "
「Khaalsaa mera satagur pooraa。」
That's where, that is what truly God said, Khalsa is my true Guru because you have the capacity that through your presence God can be felt, no miracle is required. Some people say wherever you go, the people say who are you? Yeah through your presence it should be felt that you are divine. Bana, then bani, through your word it should be felt that you are divine. Through seva, through your deeds everybody should be elevated as divine. Simran through that powerful Sadhana you should be elevating yourself. Four ways to go. I say all this because those who are sitting here have a chance, otherwise you would not have been sitting here.
这就是神真正说过的话:卡尔萨(Khalsa)是我真正的古茹,因为你有这个能力,透过你的临在,人能感受到神,不需要什么奇迹。有些人说,你走到哪里,人们就问你是谁?是啊,透过你的临在,就应该让人感受到你是神圣的。灵性装束(bana),然后是圣言(bani),透过你的话语,就应该让人感受到你是神圣的。透过服务(seva),透过你的行为,每个人都应该被提升到神圣。忆念(Simran),透过那强大的萨达那(Sadhana),你应该提升你自己。四条路可走。我说这些,是因为坐在这里的人有机会,否则你不会坐在这里。
I would not have been sitting here you would not have been sitting here.
我不会坐在这里,你也不会坐在这里。
sitting here have a chance, otherwise you would not have been sitting here.
坐在这里的人有机会,否则你不会坐在这里。
I would not have been sitting here you would not have been sitting here.
我不会坐在这里,你也不会坐在这里。
The purpose of life is, that is what the miracle of God is, that's what the presence of God is, God can only bring you here. That's the mercy of God, hand of God, that's why we say, hand of God be with you. When hand of God guides you it can bring to the congregation, it can bring to the Guru, then whether your mind is with you or not that's your problem. Little children come if they would have been conscious that they are sitting in a Gurudwara, they will not utter a word. Because they are unaware what Gurudwara is, they have to learn it and you who are adults who come to the Gurudwara your mind is not with you. So you are unaware you are sitting in a Gurudwara.
人生的目的就是——这就是神的奇迹,这就是神的临在,神只能把你带到这里。那是神的慈悲,神的手,所以我们说,愿神的手与你同在。当神的手引导你,它能把你带到共修团体,能把你带到古茹面前,至于你的心智跟不跟着你,那是你自己的问题。小孩子来了,如果他们意识到自己坐在谒师所(Gurdwara)里,他们一个字都不会说。因为他们不知道谒师所是什么,他们得去学;而你们这些成年人来到谒师所,心智却不跟着你。所以你没意识到自己正坐在谒师所里。
But you know why we still come? That perhaps one who is aware that he is in Gurudwara, perhaps whose presence is beautiful enough that he has come to the Gurudwara, perhaps whose bani is engraved in his mind and heart that that's the Guru's word, if that person shall walk here and on that dust, if it is possible to touch the forehead then destiny will change.
但你知道我们为什么还来吗?也许是因为有一个人,他知道自己在谒师所里,也许他的临在足够美好,所以他才来到谒师所,也许他的圣言已经刻在他的心智和心里,知道那是古茹的话,如果那个人走到这里,走在那尘土上,如果能把额头贴上去,那么命运就会改变。
heart that that's the Guru's word, if that person shall walk here and on that dust, if it is possible to touch the forehead then destiny will change.
心里,知道那是古茹的话,如果那个人走到这里,走在那尘土上,如果能把额头贴上去,那么命运就会改变。
We don't come to Gurudwara for anything else but to seek our own destiny, it's a purely, absolutely, officially, truthfully, a selfish act. It's a purely selfish; we don't wear bana because we want to look pretty, not a bit. We want to wear a bana that if that, that's how it is. If you are wearing a beautiful bana you walk and somebody can look at you, you may not be holy person at all, I am telling you something but when people look at you and they feel holy you become holy. Nobody is powerful enough by his own virtue to become holy. And that's called sangath, wherever you walk as a holyman all the world become your sangath.
我们来谒师所不为别的,只为寻求自己的命运,这纯粹是、绝对是、正式地、真实地,一种自私的行为。它纯粹是自私的;我们穿灵性装束不是因为我们想看起来漂亮,一点也不是。我们想穿灵性装束,如果那样,就是这样。如果你穿着漂亮的灵性装束走路,有人看着你,你可能根本不是什么圣人,我是在告诉你一些事,但当人们看着你,觉得你神圣,你就变得神圣了。没有人靠自己的德行就强大到能变得神圣。那就叫灵性共修团体,无论你作为圣人走到哪里,全世界都成为你的灵性共修团体。
is powerful enough by his own virtue to become holy. And that's called sangath, wherever you walk as a holyman all the world become your sangath.
强大到能靠自己的德行变得神圣。那就叫灵性共修团体,无论你作为圣人走到哪里,全世界都成为你的灵性共修团体。
Whosoever shall look at you shall think you belong to some order of God. That's enough that is the highest Sadhana, that your presence should remind people of God. What a biggest and a more powerful miracle than that can be that by your very presence you can invoke God ship and Godhood in people. And then your word should be Gurubani. The very word of your should invoke in people the presence of God, then seva, your deed should invoke in people the presence of God and Simran, your continuous totality should invoke the presence of God. Simple ways, simple things and simple life.
无论谁看着你,都会认为你属于神的某个秩序。那就够了,那就是最高的萨达那,你的临在应该让人想起神。还有什么比这更大、更有力的奇迹呢——仅仅凭你的临在,你就能在人们心中唤起神性和神格。然后你的话应该是古茹的圣言。你的话语本身就应该在人们心中唤起神的临在,然后是服务,你的行为应该在人们心中唤起神的临在,还有忆念圣名,你持续的整体应该在人们心中唤起神的临在。简单的方式,简单的事情,简单的生活。
in people the presence of God and Simran, your continuous totality should invoke the presence of God. Simple ways, simple things and simple life.
在人们心中唤起神的临在,还有忆念圣名,你持续的整体应该在人们心中唤起神的临在。简单的方式,简单的事情,简单的生活。
And you waste so much time for other things. I wonder, I wonder you have loved me but you have not learned one thing from me, I am the only one who came with nothing to this country, I am the only one who is going to go away with nothing from this country, I am the only one who has everything in this country, is that not enough to learn? Look me from distance, I look an idiot to you, you look me from very near I look an idiot from you, because you are unable to look with anything else because you are idiot yourself. You look me from distance I look very holy to you, you look me from very near I look very holy to you.
你把那么多时间浪费在别的事情上。我纳闷,我纳闷你爱我,却没从我这里学到一样东西。我是唯一一个两手空空来到这个国家的人,我是唯一一个将要两手空空离开这个国家的人,我是唯一一个在这个国家拥有一切的人,这还不够你学吗?你从远处看我,我在你眼里像个白痴;你从近处看我,我在你眼里也像个白痴,因为你没法用别的眼光来看,因为你自己就是个白痴。你从远处看我,我在你眼里非常神圣;你从近处看我,我在你眼里也非常神圣。
I have, I have confused more people who are near me than the people who are away from me. You can learn to be just you. It is your essence, which has a destiny to be with God. It is your ego, which is unnecessarily blocking you.
我让靠近我的人困惑,比远离我的人更多。你可以学会只是做你自己。那是你的内在本质,它注定要与神同在。那是你的小我,它在毫无必要地阻挡你。
from me. You can learn to be just you. It is your essence, which has a destiny to be with God. It is your ego, which is unnecessarily blocking you.
从我这里。你可以学会只是做你自己。那是你的内在本质,它注定要与神同在。那是你的小我,它在毫无必要地阻挡你。
I like to appeal to your egos today; is it fair that through any act and deed what you call it seva, seva is any act you perform. You want to prove that you are idiots? And I am not saying me and you and us, I am saying look at the world as a whole, look at it, see how much energy and how much life we waste just to let it go waste. If we pile up all that and put it together and just be very simply beautiful, walk beautifully, talk beautifully, live beautifully. Every person has a right to be a saint and it is a simple principle.
今天我想对你的小我说话;无论通过什么行为、什么举动,你称之为 seva,seva 就是你做的任何行为,这样公平吗?你想证明自己是白痴吗?我不是在说我和你、我们,我是在说把这个世界当作一个整体来看,看看它,看看我们浪费了多少能量、多少生命,就只是让它白白浪费掉。如果我们把那些全都堆起来、聚在一起,只是非常简单地美好,美好地走路,美好地说话,美好地生活。每个人都有权利成为圣徒,这是一个简单的原则。
"Hasa, isth, upasana, kaan, paan, pheran tulsi katey ek ho tahey mitra pehchan"
“Hasa,isth,upasana,kaan,paan,pheran tulsi katey ek ho tahey mitra pehchan”
These six things should be together and that's the rule of friendship. And if you want to be friend with God, God has not abandoned you at all. Hasa the longing, isth, the altar, upsana the way of worship, eating, kaan, paan, eating, drinking, pehran, how you wear. So make this whole complicated thing simple, Guru said, bana, bani, seva, Simran. Instead of six he reduced them to four. And that's the path of the saint.
这六样东西应该在一起,这就是友谊的法则。如果你想和神做朋友,神根本没有抛弃你。Hasa,渴望;isth,圣坛;upsana,崇拜的方式;吃,kaan,paan,吃、喝;pehran,你怎么穿。所以把这整个复杂的东西变简单,古茹说,bana、bani、seva、Simran。他把六样减成了四样。那就是圣徒的道路。
this whole complicated thing simple, Guru said, bana, bani, seva, Simran. Instead of six he reduced them to four. And that's the path of the saint.
把这整个复杂的东西变简单,古茹说,bana、bani、seva、Simran。他把六样减成了四样。那就是圣徒的道路。
My urging today is give yourself a chance, that's my call now. Give yourself a chance that the presence of God should work through you, it will be much better, much better that even God work right in presence of you; if you have a God as your assistant secretary you will be no powerful. If you have God in the pocket, in cage, you are no powerful. All what you want out of God will be not powerful at all. I can give you this warning. But if you let the presence of God work through you, you will, nobody will then estimate your power. So make up your mind, feel it today and give yourself a chance.
我今天的呼吁是给自己一个机会,这就是我现在的召唤。给自己一个机会,让神的临在通过你运作,那会好得多,好得多——甚至比神直接在你面前运作还要好;如果你把神当成你的助理秘书,你不会有力量。如果你把神装在口袋里、关在笼子里,你不会有力量。你想从神那里得到的一切,根本不会有力量。我可以给你这个警告。但如果你让神的临在通过你运作,那么没有人能估量你的力量。所以下定决心,今天就去感受它,给自己一个机会。
the presence of God work through you, you will, nobody will then estimate your power. So make up your mind, feel it today and give yourself a chance.
让神的临在通过你运作,那么没有人能估量你的力量。所以下定决心,今天就去感受它,给自己一个机会。
Let the presence of God through your life start be known felt, give it a chance, God gave you life, give this life a chance, that the presence of God be felt through you. That is my honest feeling. I can do it, you can do it, and everybody can do it. Neither your past can do it, nor your present can do it, nor your future can do it. Neither you can do it then how it can happen, let it happen. There's a one word, behold; I give you one commandment today-behold God is in us, let His presence be felt, that's it. Behold, God is in us, let His presence be felt. Simple, feel it, practice it and live it. God shall live through you. I can vouch it.
让神的临在通过你的生命开始被知晓、被感受到,给它一个机会,神给了你生命,给这个生命一个机会,让神的临在被感受到,通过你被感受到。这是我诚实的感受。我能做到,你能做到,每个人都能做到。你的过去做不到,你的现在做不到,你的未来也做不到。连你自己都做不到,那它怎么能发生呢——让它发生。有一个词,看哪;我今天给你一条诫命——看哪,神就在我们之内,让祂的临在被感受到,就是这样。看哪,神就在我们之内,让祂的临在被感受到。很简单,感受它,练习它,活出它。神会通过你活着。我可以为此担保。
Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh!
Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo Ji Ki Fateh!
