| 164 我们为什么要修行？ |
| |
Oct 21, 2011: Why should we practice spirituality? Swami explains and motivates us today.
The udder of the cow contains milk in it. The milk has ghee (clarified butter) in it. But the ghee is not available to us as such. The milk has to be drawn, curdled and churned to obtain the butter which in turn has to be clarified to produce the ghee. This when consumed gives strength. So too, though God is omnipresent, He has to be discovered and cognised in order to experience the bliss. Like oil in mustard, butter in yoghurt, water under the earth's surface and fire in timber, God though present in everything is not patent. God is in the body and the mind but to become aware of Him, spiritual effort is necessary. When that is undertaken, oneness with the Supreme within can be realised.

母牛的乳房内藏牛奶，牛奶中含有醍醐（精炼奶油、清奶油），但是醍醐不是直接可得到，得先将牛奶取出，令其凝结成酪，再以搅拌得出奶油，奶油再加以纯化，除去糟粕，才提炼出醍醐。摄取醍醐，能得到力量。上帝也是一样，祂无所不在，但是你得去发现祂，识出祂，从而体验那种至乐。犹如芥子里的油、优格中的奶油、地表下的水、木中之火，上帝虽然遍存万物中，但是隐而不现。上帝就在身体里、在心里，但是，要觉察到祂，必须修行。修行了，就可证悟自己与至道是一而不二。
譬如从牛出乳，从乳出酪，从酪出生酥，从生酥出熟酥，从熟酥出醍醐。醍醐最上。
《大般涅盘经．圣行品》
