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。

We attach meaning to words, and we distort them, too. For example, the word brainwashing. Your brain, like your body, needs washing sometimes. You don't want to walk around with a dirty brain, a dirty mind. What is wrong with the word brainwashing? It indicates a clean brain, a clean mind. But it is used in a derogatory manner.

And the word disillusioned. It is good when you become disillusioned. It is good when you become disillusioned. You are out of the illusion and have come to reality.

And purana. It means that which is new in the town, the most modern. But today it wonveys the sense of being very old.

Meanings of words change in the course of time. The word enthused comes from the Greek which means God is with us. Then enthused came to mean crazy, and today the whole meaning of the word has changed again.

Don't be stuck with words. Your worries are words. Your ideas are words. Wisdom is beyond words. It is your very Being, the essence of all words. See and relate beyond words. Then there is no lie in your life.

If you manipulate words, it is a lie;

If you play on words, it is a joke;

If you rely on words, it is ignorance;

If you transcend words, it is wisdom.

我们为言语附加意义，并曲解言语。例如，「洗脑」(brainwashing)这个字。就像你的身体，脑子有时需要清洗。你不会想要带着肮脏的脑子和肮脏的心到处走动。 「洗脑」这个字有什么不对呢？它意指洁净的脑子和洁净的心，但却被侮蔑地运用着。

而「幻灭」(disillusionment)这个字也是。当你的幻象消失时，是件好事。你已脱离幻相、回到现实。

好比普拉那(Purana为梵文)。它意指城中崭新的，最现代化的。但今天却被用于表达老旧之意。

言语的意义随着时间改变了。 「狂热」(enthused)一字源于希腊，意指上帝与我们同在。后来，它却变成疯狂的意思，到今天它整个意义又变了。

不要陷入言语中。你的忧虑是言语。你的念头是言语。智慧是超越言语的，它是你真正的存在，是一切言语的精髓。超越言语去看和厘清关系，那么你的生命中就不会有谎言了。

如果你巧妙操纵言语，那是谎言。

如果你玩言语游戏，那是笑话。

如果你依赖言语，那是无知。

如果你超越言语，那是智慧。
