223 如何修习心念？

Dec 20, 2011: How does one tackle the mind? Bhagawan coaches and guides us today.

You must first conquer desire. For this, neither waging a war nor the use of pleasing words to persuade desire to disappear is necessary. It will not vanish for fear of one or for favour of the other. Desires are objective; they belong to the category of the ‘seen’. With the conviction "I am the see-er, not the seen", you must release yourself from attachment and conquer desire. You must watch the working of the mind, from outside it; you should not get involved in it. That is the meaning of this discipline. The faculty of the mind is like a strong current of electricity. It has to be watched from a distance and not contacted or touched. Touch it and you are reduced to ashes. So too, contact and attachment give the mind a chance to ruin you. The farther you are from it, the better. By skillful methods, you have to make the best use o f it for your own welfare.

- Geeta Vahini, Ch 5.

首先一定要征服欲望，不过你既不需要对欲望发动战争，也不需要用甜言蜜语说服欲望，让它消失，它不会因为怕这一套或是吃那一套而就范、消失。欲望来自客体，它们属于“所见（被见之物）”的范畴。靠着“吾乃‘观者’本身，而非‘所观之物’”这个信念，你能从执着迷恋中解放出来而征服欲望。你一定要从心的外部来观察心念的运作，不要进去和它扯在一起，那就是这一项修习的意义。心念就像一股强力的电流，要从一段距离外来看它，不能去碰它，一碰，你就变成灰烬了。同样的，接触这个心念和执着迷恋，给了它摧毁你的机会。离它愈远愈好。要有技巧，让它派上最好的用场，以促进你自己的福祉。

Desire makes one forget their real nature and reduces them to the status of a beast.
欲望让人忘了自己的真实本性，把他贬为禽兽。
