101 至福是否难以实现? |
|
Aug 18, 2011: Is attaining bliss difficult? Swami answers this question and encourages us to march onward by sharing vivid examples from the life of great devotees.
Devotion does not call for arduous spiritual practices or severe discipline of any kind. There is no need to perform intense penance or Yajnas (religious sacrifices). The only easy and sure means for ordinary people to realize God, without regard to their caste, nationality, gender or any other qualification, is to have intense devotion and love for God. Where there is deep faith, there is intense love. Where there is love, there is Shraddha (earnestness). Through earnestness, Jnana (higher knowledge) is gained. This knowledge enables one to practice spirituality. The Gopikas (cowherd maidens) exemplified this; they experienced the continuous presence of God within them and outside them. They showed that such sublime love was possible even for ordinary persons with little knowledge of the scriptures or spiritual disciplines and demonstrated the inextricable link between the Divine and the individual.

虔诚不需要辛苦的灵性修持或是任何严格的锻炼,没有必要拼命苦行或作祭典,对一般人而言,唯一容易又稳当的悟道方法,不论其阶级、国籍、性别或任何其他资格,是对上帝有深刻的虔诚和爱。有深度的信心,就有深刻的爱;有爱,就有真挚;有真挚,般若智慧可得。这种般若知识让人能去修行。圣主克里希那时代的牧牛女就是一个好例子,她们体验到神时时临在──不论在她们内心或是外在世界。她们证明了,纵使一个普通的人,没有什么经典方面或修行方面的知识,也可以有这种崇高的爱,她们示范了上帝和个人之间难分难解的连结。

God cares for your inner most feelings (bhava), not your outward expressions (bahya).
神在意的是你内心深处的感觉,而非外在的表情。 |
