語錄
[編輯]- 不要讓世俗的思想和焦慮擾亂你的心意。在合適的時間裡做的每一件事都是必要的,但要讓你的心意總是專注於神。
- 原文:Do not let worldly thoughts and anxieties disturb your mind. Do everything that is necessary in the proper time, and let your mind be always fixed on God.
- 活在世上就像水鳥。水粘附在鳥身上,可是鳥卻把水抖落掉。活在世上就像泥中之魚。魚兒活在泥潭裡,但它的皮膚總是閃閃發亮。
- 原文:Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny. [1]
- 真理只有一個;只是被稱呼為不同的名字。所有人都在追尋同一個真理;差異源於氣候、性情和名稱。
- 原文:Truth is one; only It is called by different names. All people are seeking the same Truth; the variance is due to climate, temperament, and name.[2]
- 如果你真誠地渴望成為善良和完美的,神會派遣真正和適當的導師(Sad-Guru)給你。真誠是唯一必要的。
- 原文:If thou art in right earnest to be good and perfect, God will send the true and proper Master (Sad-Guru) to thee. Earnestness is the only thing necessary. [3]
- 在陶工的店裡,有各種形狀和形式的器皿——罐子、罐子、盤子、碟子等——但都是由同樣的粘土製成的。所以神是一個,但他在不同的時代和地區以不同的名字和方面被崇拜。
- 原文:In a potter's shop there are vessels of different shapes and forms... but all made of the same clay. So God is one, but He is worshipped in different ages and climes under different names and aspects. [4]
- 船可以停留在水中,但水不應停留在船中。修行者可以生活在世界中,但世界不應存在於他心中。
- 原文:A boat may stay in the water, but water should not stay in the boat. An aspirant may live in the world, but the world should not live in him. [5]
- 以你喜歡的任何方式向他祈禱,他甚至能聽到螞蟻的腳步聲。
- 原文:Pray to Him anyway you like, He can even hear the footfall of an ant.[6]
- 想像一個無限的水域:上方和下方,前方和後方,左右,到處都是水。在那水中放置一個裝滿水的罐子。罐子內有水,外面也有水,但罐子仍然存在。『我』就是那個罐子。
- 原文:Imagine a limitless expanse of water: above and below, before and behind, right and left, everywhere there is water. In that water is placed a jar filled with water. There is water inside the jar and water outside, but the jar is still there. The 『I’ is the jar. [7]
- 一株幼苗應始終由籬笆保護,以免被山羊和牛以及小頑童破壞。但一旦它長成大樹,一群山羊或一群牛可能會在其茂盛的枝葉下找到庇護,並以其葉子填飽肚子。
- 原文:A young plant should be always protected by a fence from the mischief of goats and cows and little urchins. But when once it becomes a big tree, a flock of goats or a herd of cows may find shelter under its spreading boughs, and fill their stomachs with its leaves. [8]
