The Washing Machine 洗衣机 (28)

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.

These knowledge sheets have been compiled into An Intimate Note To The Sincere Seeker Volumes 1-7.

Our Body is like a washing machine. Our Mind is like cloth. Love is like pure water. Knowledge is detergent. Each life-time is one wash cycle.

The mind comes into the body to get cleansed and pure. But if you put mud instead of detergent, your clothes become dirtier than before. Your will have to go on putting your clothes in the washing machine to get them cleaned. And the process repeats again and again.

Similarly, you will have many more births until you stop repeating the mistakes that you have made.

我们的身体像部洗衣机，

我们的心灵像衣服，

爱像纯净的水，

知识是洗洁剂，

而每一辈子就是一个轮回的清洗。

心灵进到身体里为的是要被清洗而純净。但如果你用的是泥巴而不是洗洁剂，则衣服会愈洗愈脏，你将必需不断地将衣服丟入洗衣机清洗，而这过程会一再重复。

同样地，除非停止重复的过错，否则你将一再地重回人世。

Love,
ZY

I sing because I am happy

Satsangs-where we sing because we are happy



DSN course at Art of Living Alor Setar Centre 27/5/2011-30/5/2011

A man was walking along the road to Damascus. He recalled his lost love and his soul grieved.

“Pity on those who know love,” he thought. “They will never be happy, with the fear of losing the one they love.”

At that moment he heard a nightingale sing.

- Why do you act like that? – the man asked the nightingale. – Don’t you see that my beloved, who loved your song so much, is no longer here by my side?

- I sing because I am happy – answered the nightingale.

- Haven’t you ever lost someone? – the man insisted.

- Many times – answered the nightingale. – But my love still remains all the same.

And the man went on his way feeling more hopeful.

All the problems that you face in life are because you attach overimportance to events. The events grow bigger while you remain smaller.

Say, for example, you are riding a motorbike on a busy street and in front of you another vehicle is emitting exhaust fumes. Your have three options:

1. You can complain, somehow bear with it, and still follow the vehicle.

2. You can slow down or wait for some time to allow the vehicle to move far away from you.

3. You can use your skill, overtake the vehicle, and forget about it.

As in the first case, most of you stick on the events and are miserable, like inhaling fumes throughout your journey.

In the second case, you don't get permanent relief, because another bigger vehicle might come in front of you. Running away from events is not the permanent solution.

Wise people use their skill to surmount the event. If the vehicle is in perfect condition, the skill is effective.

Conditioning the vehicle is sadhana-practice. And skill is the grace of the Guru.

The mistakes you have made in the past have made you humble; you need not make mistakes in the future to become humble.

生命中你所面临的问题都是因为过度重视事件。事件变得越发重大，而你则仍保持更加地渺小。举例来说，你在拥塞的道路上骑着车，在你前面有辆车子不断地排出废气。你有三个选择：

1. 你可以抱怨，但仍设法忍耐，并继续跟在后面。

2. 你可以慢下来或等些时间，直到那辆车离你远去。

3. 你可以技巧地超越那车，并将之抛诸脑后。

以第一种情形而言，大多数的人执着于事件而受苦，就像一路上你要吸着废气。

就第二种情形而言，你无法得到永远的解脱，因为可能还有更大的车子会出现在你前面。躲避事件并非永久之计。

智者利用技巧超越事件。如果车况良好，技巧就有效。

支配车况的是灵修，而技巧则是上师的恩典。

你过去所犯的错误使你谦卑；在未来你不必为了谦卑而去犯错。

The Bhagavad Gita online 薄伽梵歌网页

Guruji encourages us to read the Gita, but stocks are limited.  The Bhagavad Gita Chinese version is even harder to get. Furthermore, $$ is also an issue...

Fear no more, great things are meant to be shared; especially for those who appreciates this ancient knowledge.  This Bhagavad Gita website has it in different languages. Yes! Even in Chinese!

The website attracted me in the first place because I get to follow the recordings and chant the shlokas! Happy reading!

Go to the Bhagavad-Gita website

大师鼓励我们阅读薄伽梵歌，不过书的存货却有限。要拥有华语版的更加难上加难。$$也是一个考虑因素。。。

别担心了，好东西是应该大家一起分享的；特别是知音人。这个薄伽梵歌的网站有各种语言，包括华语版的！

最吸引我的地方是我可以跟着网站里的录音唱诵经文！尽情的享受吧！

7/12/1995 Bangalore Ashram, India 印度班格罗静修所

SRI Sri was on the porch with a group of people.

He sent Kashi to get the sweets from inside the *kutir, but Kashi returned saying he could not find them. He went again and again, three times, and still he could not find them. Then Sri Sri himself went in. He came out with the sweets and gave them to everyone.

This is exactly what happens in life. Many want sweetness in life. Some are searching hard, but only one finds. And when that one finds, he gives to everyone.

Everyone is "blissed in", and some are "blissed out", too!

*a cottage or bungalow

古儒吉与一群人在走廊上。他派卡希进屋拿糖果，但卡希回报说找不到。他去了又去，总共三趟，还是找不到。于是古儒吉亲自进去，出来时他拿着糖果，并将糖果分送给每个人。

这正是生命中所发生的情形。许多人希求生命的甜美。有些辛苦找寻，但只有一人寻得，当这人寻得时，他会将之分送大家。

每个人都沉浸在至福中，也有些人乐昏了头！

Gift a smile

Smiles that warm our hearts.

What breaks intimacy?

• Ego or taking a position
• Desire
• Taking intimacy for granted
• Finding imperfection in oneself or others
• Expectations
• Insensitivity or over-sensitivity
• Lack of vivek or vairagya (discretion or dispassion)
• Judgments
• Grumbling or lack of gratitude

How can you maintain intimacy?
Intimacy is dissolving into infinity, which brings you to the moment. You go beyond the events.  

Look beyond the events, dissolve into infinity, and be in the moment.

This is the way to maintain intimacy. 

什么会破坏亲密关系呢？

• 我执及设定立场
• 欲望
• 将亲密视为理所当然
• 挑剔自己或别人
• 期望
• 迟钝或过度敏感
• 缺乏辨识力（vivek）或不动心（vairagya）
• 批评论断
• 发牢骚或缺乏感恩

如何维系亲密关系呢？

亲密是在无限中融解。融入无限将你带到当下并使你超越事件。

超越事件去观看一切，融入无限，并置身当下。

这即是保持亲密关系之道
