提問 : 如何同時正確且善良呢 ?
古儒吉大師 : 正確有理並不意味著苛刻,善良並不意味著就是隨任何事情發生。善良不是沾沾自喜,公義不只是咄咄逼人。不幸的是,今天,當我們有理的時候,我們會變得咄咄逼人。不需要如此;不應該如此。
事實上,咄咄逼人只會顯示我們的軟弱,對我們自己的力量缺乏信心。這不是很奇怪嗎?你認為強而有力是咄咄逼人的嗎?不是!人們覺得他們沒有力量時,或者他們已失去力量,他們才變得咄咄逼人。只要再更深入觀察它。你何時會變的咄咄逼人?當你無法輕而易舉地完成事情時。當事情很容易發生時,你會咄咄逼人嗎?
所以,當你對你的力量或你存在的力量沒有信心時,你就會變得咄咄逼人。我知道它很難做到!當所有這些事在德里發生時,有人問我:“你怎麼能這麼冷靜呢,上師?我們所有人都好緊張!
我明白一切都會很好。而且當我明白一切都會發生時,那麼咄咄逼人、或不安、或悲傷、或不快樂又有什麼意義。
當你明白你內在的力量時,你不會咄咄逼人。強而有力,不會咄咄逼人。誰會咄咄逼人?當你感覺這情境、人、人們都超出你的掌控,或者你覺得這是不可能的。或者,當你感覺你比這情境渺小時,那麼你就會變得咄咄逼人。我想你應該對此深思一下。往往,你看到一個咄咄逼人的人,你覺得他是強大的。他真的不是!
Q: How to be right and kind at the same time?
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Being right does not mean being harsh and being kind doesn’t mean just letting anything happen. Kindness is not complacence and righteousness is not just aggression. Unfortunately, today, when we are right we get aggressive. It need not be, it should not be. In fact, aggression only shows our weakness; our lack of faith in our own power. Isn’t this strange? You think that the powerful will be aggressive? No! People who feel they have no power, or they have lost power, they become aggressive. Just look a little deep into it. When do you get aggressive? When you can’t do things easily. When things can happen easily, will you get aggressive?
So when you don’t have confidence in your power or the power of your being then you get aggressive. I know it is difficult to get that!
When all these things were happening in Delhi, someone asked me, "How were you so cool Gurudev? We were all tensed!"
I know everything will happen well. And when I know that everything will happen, then what is the point of becoming aggressive, or upset, or sad, or unhappy.
When you know the power within you, you don’t get aggressive. The powerful don’t get aggressive. Who gets aggressive? When you feel that the situation, person, people are beyond your control, or you feel that it is not possible. Or when you feel that you are smaller than the situation, then you become aggressive. I think you should ponder on this. Often you see a person with aggression, you feel that he is powerful. He is really not! |
