| 396 为什么要及早修行？ |
| |
June 29, 2012: What is the need to start the spiritual practices, early in life? Swami lovingly explains to us today with a practical example.
Krishna has said in the Geetha that ‘Om’ has to be remembered at the moment of death. He has said that for meditation on the Pranava, (mere ‘calling it to memory’ is of no use) some preliminary disciplines have to be gone through, like the control of the senses, the concentration of the mind, etc. For, when the mind is flitting from one fancy to another, how can the production of a sound ‘Om, Om…’ by the vocal organs be of any benefit? The mere sound will not help you attain liberation. The senses have to be curbed, thoughts have to be one-pointed and the divine glory has to be apprehended. That is why the Lord advised that from birth to death, one must be engaged in the search for Truth. Instead, if you postpone sadhana (spiritual practices) till the last moment, you will be like the student who turns over the pages of his textbook for the first time, just before entering the examination hall! If the student has neglected to learn from the teacher, lecture-notes and books, how can anything enter his head when he opens the pages of his book on that morning? It will only add to the student’s despair.

| 在《薄伽梵歌》里，克里希那说，临终时要铭记Om于心，祂说，要冥想Om（光是忆起Om是没有用的），必须先做一些基本的训练，像是感官控制、集中心念、等等，因为若妄想从心中一个个掠过，那从声带发出‘Om，Om….’声有什么用？光是声音不会帮你了脱生死。感官得加以控制，心念要集中于一点，上帝的荣耀、殊胜要能够明了，这样才够。这就是为什么主克里希那劝告我们，追求真理，要从生做到死。如果你拖延到临死时才修行，那你就会像一位要进考场了，才首度翻开书本的学生！平日不上课，不看书，不看笔记，考试那天早上才打开书本，脑袋里怎可能有东西？那只会让他更加绝望而已。
