Note: Every week from 1995, Guruji started sending out knowledge sheets which he fondly called the 'Knowledge Fax' to be read out and discussed at Satsangs happening all around the world. Guruji ended this delightful practice at the 365th week in September 2002, so as to let us fully digest them! These knowledge sheets have been compiled into An Intimate Note To The Sincere Seeker Volumes 1-7. I began the practice of posting a Knowledge Sheet every week for the benefit of those who have not had the opportunity to get hold of these priceless books. It had never cease to uplift me by reading and rereading this knowledge. So I know you would certainly enjoy them!
注:从1995年开始,古儒吉开始每一个星期寄出他称为‘智慧传真’的智慧语录以供在世界各地举行的唱场阅读与分享。大师在2002年9月,也就是第365周结束了这个做法,让我们好好的消化和实践这些智慧。这些智慧语录已收录为7本书:古儒吉大师智慧语录(1-7集)。我开始每个星期刊登一篇智慧语录,以供还没有机会买到这几本宝贵的书籍的学员分享。不断阅读这些智慧语录让我得益不浅。所以我知道其他人也会有很大的收获。

Only speak Knowledge. Don't repeat anything bad that someone tells you about someone. And don't listen to someone who tells you that "so-and-so said such-and-such" about you. When someone comes to tell you such things, discourage them. Don't believe it.
If someone blames you directly, don't believe in what they say. Just know that they are taking away your bad karma and let it go. And if you're one of the Master's close ones, you will take all of the blame of the world with a smile.
When you blame someone, you take on their bad karma;
When you praise someone, you take on their good karma;
Surrender both good or bad karma to the Divine - and be free.
Conflict is the nature of the world; comfort is the nature of the Self. Amidst conflict, find the comfort.
When you are tired of conflicts and the games of the world, get into the comforts of the Self. When you are bored with comfort, get into the games of the world. If you are one of the Master's close ones, you do both simultaneously.
People who love peace do not want to fight, and those who fight do not have peace. What is needed is to be peaceful within and then fight. Just trying to end a conflict only prolongs it.
Instead, face the conflict while seeking the comfort of the Self.
Does this ring a bell? This is the whole message of the Bhagavad Gita: Krishna tells Arjuna to be centred in peace and to fight at the same time.
God is alive in the world and has been putting up with all conflicts throughout the ages. If God can put up with all these conflicts, you can too. And the moment you agree to be with a conflict, it no longer appears as a conflict to you.
The nature of this world is that once you resolve one conflict, another arises. For example, Russia is solved and then Bosnia is in trouble. Or you get a cold, then you get better - then your back hurts, then it gets better. And when your body is fine, then the mind goes. Things in this world run this way, don't they?
Without any intention, misunderstandings simply happen and conflicts arise. It's not up to you to resolve them. Just be with them and be alive!
只谈知识,不要转述别人告诉你关于其他人的坏话。同时当有人向你报告「某某人说你这样,说你那样」时不要听进去。当有人前来告诉你这类事情时,不要鼓励他们,不要相信那些话。
如果有人当着面骂你,不要相信他们所说的话,只要明白他们是在取走你的恶业并随它去,同时假如你是上师亲近的门徒之一,你将会面带微笑去承受全世界的指责。
当你责备某人时,你就承受了他的恶业;
当你赞美某人时,你就承受了他的善业;
将善业与恶业全都交托给神──而后轻松自在。
冲突是世间的本质;而安适是本我(Self)的本质。在冲突中寻求安适。
当你对冲突与世间的游戏感到厌倦时,就进入本我安适中!当你厌倦了安适时,再进入世间的游戏吧!假如你是上师的亲近门徒之一,你会两者同时进行。
神活在世间,世代以来一直容忍冲突的不断发生。假如神能容忍一切冲突,你也能。当你愿意与冲突并存,冲突就消失了。
喜爱安宁的人不想争吵,而争吵的人不会得到安宁。我们所需要的是,内在祥和再去争吵。仅是想要结束冲突会加长冲突的时间。与其如此,去面对冲突同时寻求本我的安适。
这听来熟悉吗?这就是薄伽梵歌(Bhagavad Gita)所要传达的全部讯息:克里希纳告诉阿朱那稳定于安宁之中同时起身作战。
上帝活跃于人间,千古以来一直忍受着一切的冲突。假如上帝能够忍受这一切冲突的话,你也可以。而一旦你同意处于冲突之中,那对于你来说就不再是个冲突了。
这个世间的一个特质是,一旦你解决一个冲突,另一个冲突就会出现。举例而言,苏俄的问题解决了,波西尼亚就有麻烦了;或着你感冒了,接着你感觉好一些,但是你的背就痛了,接着背又好了些,而当你的身体没问题时,心里就有了事情。世间的一切难道不都是这样的吗?
没有半点居心,但是误会就会出现,冲突就产生了。要解决这些问题并非你所能决定的,只要伴随着这一切,而活活泼泼就可以了。
