| 167 为何我们在灵修之路上要时时保持警惕？ |
| |
Oct 24, 2011: Why should we be ever vigilant in the spiritual path? Swami explains to us today.
Conceit, jealousy, anger, pride, trickery, fault-finding — all these are obstacles in the spiritual path. Even if these are not patently exhibited, the inner impulses urging one along these wrong directions are latent in the mind. When a room kept closed for a long time is opened and found dust-ridden and foul-smelling, it is cleaned and made habitable by elaborate sweeping and dusting. Similarly the mind too has to be cleansed by means of meditation. Spiritual aspirants must, by inward observation, examine the mind and its contents and condition. By proper disciplinary habits, the accumulated dirt should be removed little by little and systematically. Conceit, for example, is deep-rooted and unyielding. It may appear to be dry and dead for some time, but will sprout again easily. In a passionate mind it puts forth many branches and spreads in all directions, as so on as a chance arises. So, a spiritual aspirant must be ever vigilant.

| 自大、嫉妒、嗔、骄傲、奸、爱寻人之短 ── 这些通通都是灵修路上的障碍。即使这些习气没有明显表现出来 那种让人走入这些歧途的冲动，依旧潜伏在心中。一间久未使用的房间，门一打开，里面都是灰尘，还有一股气味，要打扫一番，清洁了，才能住人。心念亦是如此，要用禅定来加以清洁，求道者一定要靠内省、内观，检查自己的心念，检查其内容以及状态，借着适当的修行习惯，累积的灰尘，能有系统的一点一点除去。例如自大，就是根深蒂固，顽强不驯，它也许看上去已经枯萎、死去好一段时间，但是很容易又再度发芽。在一颗激躁的心中，只要一有机会，它就朝各个方向展枝生叶。所以，修行人一定要时时警惕。

Meditation is the only method of countering the mental activities that surge forward in a thousand directions.
心的思绪，澎湃汹涌，如万马朝千方奔腾，对此，禅定是唯一的反制方法。 |
