507 为什么有些人不急于接触灵修之道？我们应作出什么决定？

Oct 18, 2012: Why do some people take to the spiritual path slowly? What decisions should we make? Bhagawan explains to us today.

A merchant was once brought before a magistrate for selling adulterated ghee (clarified butter). Judgment was pronounced and as a punishment he was asked to either consume the entire quantity of the foul ghee or receive 20 whips or pay a fine of 100 gold coins. He preferred the ghee and started drinking the stuff a little bit, but finding the smell unbearable, he then chose the stripes. He received a few but could not stand any more. So finally he pleaded with the magistrate to let him go with the fine and paid his dues. If only he had opted for this initially, he could have avoided the foul drink and the excruciating pain. By swaying in his decision, he had to taste the wreck and the rod. So too, most people do not opt for God in the beginning when grief overpowers them. They do not recognize the inevitability but eventually come to God, sooner or later. Make your choices wisely.

- Divine Discourse, Sep 8, 1966.

有一个商人因为在清奶油（ghee）中掺混了较劣质的油出售，结果被抓去法官面前，法官要他自己决定，要不就把坏掉的奶油全部吃掉，要不就抽二十大鞭，要不就付100金币。商人选择吃掉全部奶油，他吃下一些，发觉那气味难闻得受不了，于是他又选择鞭刑，但是挨了几下就受不了了，所以最后他请求法官让他用付罚金来偿债。要是一开始他就这样选择，就可以免受那难闻的味道和皮肉之苦了，因为摇摆不定，结果只好尝尝馊水和棍子。大多数人也是像那样，在满怀悲伤时，一开始不选择神，他们认不清那终究无法避免，他们迟早还是会归向神的。作明智的选择吧。

Compassion towards all beings is devotion to God.
