076 为什么时时刻刻密切注意我们的思想和言行是很重要的?
 
July 20, 2011: Why is it important to watch our thoughts, words and deeds carefully at all times? Swami explains to us today.

The word karma (action) is short and crisp. But the idea and ideals it conveys are of great significance to mankind. It is of two kinds: material and spiritual, that is, loukik (connected with this world) and vaidik (drawn from the Vedas or scriptural injunctions). Karma that merely sustains life is material. The vaidik actions elevate the human to the Divine and are based on the scriptures. Karma is not simply physical, it is also mental and verbal; it subsumes every activity of man—worldly, scriptural and spiritual. All the three strands are truly intertwined. Worldly actions entail merit or demerit. Scripturally based actions are saturated with the experience of generations of seekers of goodness. The spiritually-focused will devote themselves to cleansing their hearts so that the indwelling God may be reflected therein.
- Sathya Sai Vahini, Ch 18, “Activity and Action”
 

Karma(业、行动)这个字简短而又明确,但是它所传递的理念,则对人类深具意义。行动分为两种︰物质上的和精神上的,也就是Loukik(世俗的)和Vaidik(吠陀式的;按照吠陀圣典或是经典的训谕。译者按︰例如吠陀祭祀、唱诵)。那些只是维持生活的行动,是物质上的行动;Vaidik──引经据典式的行动,则能提升人类至上帝,它系以经典为根据。行动不仅仅只是身体方面的,心念上的和语言上的也算,它涵盖人的所有活动──世俗的、经典方面的、内在灵性的。这三股活动其实是纠缠在一起,世俗的行动免不了导致功和过,依经据典的行动则会被古圣先贤的经验所充满,向内探寻(译注)的人,则会把功夫花在心的净化,让内在的上帝能反映在那儿。

译注︰此处「依经据典的行动」,例如吠陀祭祀、唱诵,仍然被视为「外在」。与此相对,禅定一类的活动则被归类于「内在」。
