365 为什么自我反省对灵修进展很重要? |
|
May 29, 2012: Why is self introspection important for spiritual progress? Bhagawan explains to us today.
Life is not a mathematical formula, where 2 plus 2 always equals 4. To some, it may be 3, and to others, 5. It depends on how each values the number ‘2’. In the spiritual path, each one has to move forward from where they already are, with the light of the lamp which every one holds in their own hands. Demons are typically too conceited to bend before the Lord; they put too much trust in arms and numbers, ignoring the subtler and stronger forces of the spirit, which can annihilate the vices within oneself.
Strive to diagnose your own character and discover the faults that are infesting it; do not try to analyse the qualities of others and seek to spot their defects. This self-examination is very necessary to bring to light the deficiencies that will undermine your spiritual career. People buy clothes with deep colour, so that they may not reveal dust or dirt; they do not prefer white clothes, for they show plainly their soiled condition. But, do not try to hide your dirt in darkness; be ashamed of soiled natures and endeavour to cleanse them fast.

人生不像数学公式,2加2永远等于4,对于某些人,它可能等于3,对其他的人,它可能是5。端视每个人如何评估2这个数字的价值而定。在灵性旅途上,每个人得从自己所在位置,以自己的速度,靠自己手持的灯所发的光,继续向前迈进。有阿修罗习气的人,往往傲慢自大得无法在主的面前低头弯腰,他们太相信武器与数字,而忽略了比较微妙而更强大的心灵力量,那种力量能消灭一个人内在的邪恶。
要努力诊断自己的人格,找出其中缺陷,不要去分析别人的品性,找人家的缺失。为了看清楚那些会逐渐损毁你的灵性事业的缺点,这种自我检讨反省非常有必要。人们买深色的衣服,好让灰尘和污垢不容易看出来,他们不喜欢白色衣服,因为那会让肮脏一览无遗。可是,不要隐藏自己的污秽,要引以为耻,努力赶快将它清干净。

Live without hating others, condemning others, and seeking faults in others.
