081 什么是我们应该摆脱的错觉?什么是我们需要培养的智力? |
|
July 26,2011:What is the illusion we have to shed? And what is the understanding we need to develop? Swami explains to us today.
The very first step to ensure peace and harmony in mankind is for each one to observe their own religion’s Dharma, or code of conduct. This will count as the most sublime service, provided one holds on to one's own faith and its essential principles diligently. For example, though undertaking charity is a good act, it should not be tainted by egoism. The scriptures assert that charity ensures benefits in a future life, and unfortunately many people offer gifts with this expectation in their minds. They are even beset by pride that they have helped others and crave to be admired. This attitude reveals their ignorance, ajnana. They must journey to a higher stage called Vijnana, where the heart is transformed by loyalty to truth, non-violence, and compassion. Only such persons can understand themselves, their kinship with the Cosmos, and with the Creator of the Cosmos. Once this understanding dawns, they will be able to live free of ignorance, doubt or disharmony.

确保人类和平和谐的第一步,是每个人都各自遵守自己宗教信仰里的Dharma(达摩;义),亦即行为准则,这可以算是最崇高的服务──如果他坚信自己的信仰并遵守其基本道理。例如,虽然做慈善工作是好的行为,但是不要让我执沾污了它。经典上说行善能积福报,而很不幸的许多人在送人东西时,心中就带着这种期盼,他们甚至因为助人而骄傲,渴望得到别人的赞赏。这种心态显露出他们的ajnana(无明)。他们一定要忠于真理、非暴力和慈悲等原则,转化心地,进入一个较高的,叫做Vijnana(智慧;识)的境界。只有这种人才能了解自己,了解他们和万物的血缘关系以及和造物者的密切关系,一旦有了这些了解,他们就不会为无明、疑惑或不和谐所困。
