A New Direction 一个新的方向

If you are someone who reads this blog regularly, you will notice that this initially interesting and regularly updated site has been left outdated and redundant for some time!
如果你时常有跟进这个部落格,你会发现原本精彩和时常更新的网络已变得过时及荒废好一阵子啦!

ENOUGH! 够了!
And if you are someone who is still reading up to this stage, urging me to write on and telling me that I had done a good job (which makes me wonder)...you would feel that a part of me is back (the cheeky and passionate part!) Even though I meditate to search within myself, I would like to thank all of you who showed me that I belong to you!
如果你到这个阶段还在读着我的心血,支持我继续下去,告诉我我写的好(好在哪里呢我也摸不着头脑)。。。你会察觉到部分的我已经回来啦(那顽皮又充满热忱的!)虽然我静心是向内在寻找自己,谢谢你让我感觉到我是属于你们的!

Specially dedicated to May and Guan Seng! 特别献给May姐和大佬昇!

Who Are You: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva - or Guru? 你的力量何者显著?(24)

23/11/1995 Bangalore Ashram, India 印度班格罗静心所

There are three forces: Brahma Shakti, Vishnu Shakti, and Shiva Shakti. You may have one of these dominant.

Brahma Shakti is the force to create something new, Vishnu Shakti is the ability to maintain.

Shiva Shakti infuses new life or destroys the old and brings transformation.

Some of you have Brahma Shakti. Your may create something well, but you may not be able to maintain it. For example, you may make friends fast, but your friendships do not last long.

Some of you cannot create but you are good at maintaining-for example, those who have long-lasting friendships but who have difficulty making new friends. Here Vishnu Shakti is dominant.

Some of you have more Shiva Shakti. You can bring in new life or transformation, or you can destroy the whole setup.

With Guru Shakti, all these three shaktis have blossomed fully.  So identify which shakti you have more and aspire for Guru Shakti.

Guru makes a group,
but a group cannot make a Guru.

有三种力量:  婆拉哈能量(Brahma Shakti), 维施奴(Vishnu Shakti), 希瓦能量(Shiva Shakti)。这三者之中, 你或许会有一种较显。

婆拉哈是创新的力量。

维施奴是维系的力量。

希瓦则是注入新生命或是摧毁旧物并带来蜕变的力量。

有些人具有婆拉哈能量。 你可能很会创新, 但也许无法维系。 举例而言, 你也许能很快地结交 到朋友, 但是友谊却无法持久。

有些人无法创新却擅于维系─ ─ 例如, 有人拥有长存的友谊, 却很难去结交新朋友。 这情形是维施奴能量较为显著。

有些人是希瓦能量较显著。你能带进新生命或蜕变─ ─ 或者你可摧毁整个局面。

拥有上师能量(Guru Shakti), 则这三种能量皆完全地绽放。 因此确定你的能量何者较显著─ ─ 然后立志朝上师的能量奋进。

上师创造团体,
但团体无法造就上师。

Venue 地点: Alor Setar Art of Living Centre
            亚罗士打生活的艺术中心
 
It has been an extremely long time since I have updated our Art of Living Alor Setar centre virtual space.  (Sorry!) 
I wish I could still be spending time typing and editing this favorite space of mine like I used to, but at the present moment (which is inevitable), I am very tied up at work, which left me little time to be a part of all the activities that the Alor Setar Art of Living Centre has arranged for us.

So what should we do? I could only say:
GET YOUR BUTT OFF THAT COUCH AND GO FOR GROUP PRACTICE REGULARLY TO GET THE LATEST UPDATES!

Boredom and Sadhana 无聊与灵修 (23)

15/11/1995 Bangalore Ashram, India  印度班格罗静心所

What is boredom?
Just a repetition without interest or love. That causes a monotonous state of mind and overshadows the Self.

Spiritual practices (sadhana) are again a repetition whose purpose is to destroy the boredom and reunite you with the Self. A practice itself creates boredom, but as you continue, you penetrate the boredom and destroy it once and for all. Whether the practice gives you joy or boredom, it must be continued. Only your practices, your sadhana, can overcome the mind.

The Self is love and love is always repetitive. Love letters are simply repetitive and yet there is no boredom there.

If you are so bored with yourself, how much more boring are you to others?

Root out the boredom in you through deep and continued meditation. Wake up and walk upwards.

何谓无聊?
就是缺乏兴趣或缺乏爱的一种重复。这造成心智单调的状态并遮蔽着本我。
灵修(sadhana)也是种重复,其目的在摧毁无聊而使你与本我再次结合。练习本身会产生无聊,但当你持续不断时,你就穿透它并永远摧毁它。不管灵修带给你的是喜悦还是无聊,都应持之以恒。只有你的练习、你的灵修能够战胜心智。
本我是爱而爱总是一再重复的。情书只是单纯地反覆,但却不无聊。
假如你对自己都这么感到厌烦,那你对别人而言又是多烦呢?
透过深沉与不断的静坐根除内在的无聊。醒一醒,向上攀升。
