035 什么是真正「虔诚」的征兆？

May 28, 2011: What are the signs of genuine devotion to the Lord? Swami explains to us today.

Neither liberation from the cycle of birth and death nor purity of intellect and emotions is possible without devotion to the Lord. Those who have the spring of ecstatic devotion to the Presence of the Lord within them do not need any texts to ponder over. The very contemplation on the beauty, grace, and power of the Lord will give them the bliss they seek. In that ecstatic mood, they discard all self-consciousness and yearn to become the beloved of God, and remain in blissful union with Him. They dance and sing aloud and merge with Him in genuine joy and ananda (bliss). The agony of the devotee to attain their beloved Lord is the true sign of devotion.

- Sathya Sai Vahini, Chap 12: "Values in Later Texts"

缺乏对主的那份虔诚，了脱生死和净化智性与情绪，都没有可能。对于出现在其心中的主，有一份狂喜般虔诚的人，不需要任何经典来让他沉思，光是沉思主的美、仁慈和力量，就会给他们带来他们所追求的极乐。在那种狂喜的心情下，他们抛开自我，渴望成为上帝的爱人，并安住在与祂合一的极乐之境，他们跳舞并大声歌唱，在真正的喜悦与极乐中与祂合一。难以承受分离之苦，一心要抵达他们所钟爱的主，此乃「虔诚」真正的征兆。
