034 什么是我们在修行的初期阶段应该谨防的？

May 27，2011：What are the precautions we should take in the initial stages of our performing spiritual practices? Swami explains to us today.

Fish nurture their newly hatched young ones first in a safe and shallow spot. Then, they send them out into the wide open sea with its monstrous denizens. Only then can the young ones survive courageously and grow without fear. If they were bred in the open sea right from the beginning, they would certainly be swallowed up! In the same way, contemplation of the Name (nama), repetition of the Name (japa), and meditation (dhyana) are to be practised with a great deal of care according to a set routine in the initial stages until you become an expert who contemplates on the Name constantly and repeats it with concentration. Repeating the Name of the Lord is the safest, surest and easiest spiritual practice.

- Sathya Sai Vahini, Chap 7: "Remember God and Meditate"

鱼在养育刚孵化的小鱼时，会先在安全而水浅之处养育它们，然后才将它们送入辽阔的大海中，那儿有可怕的庞然大物正等着它们，只有如此，幼小的鱼儿才能勇敢的生存，无畏的长大。要是一开始就在开放的海洋中养育它们，那早就被吃掉了。同样的，在初期阶段，忆念神的名号（忆佛）、念诵神的名号（念佛）和禅定，要慎重其事，订下一套每日例行之功课，具实去修习，直到你成了专家，能念念不离神的名号并专心一致的念诵它。念诵神的名号是最安全、最稳当、最容易的修行方法。
