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。
How to get rid of vasanas (impressions)? This is a question for all those who want to come out of habits.
You want to get rid of habits because they give you pain and restrict you. The nature of a vasana is to bother you - bind you - and wanting to be free is the nature of life. When a soul does not know how to be free, it wanders lifetimes craving freedom.
The way to come out of habits is vows.
A vow should be time-bound. For example, suppose someone says,"I will quit smoking;" but cannot do it. He can take a time-bound vow not to smoke for five days. If someone is used to cursing and swearing, he can take a vow not to use bad language for ten days. Don't take a vow for a lifetime - you will break it immediately! If you happen to break it anyway, don't worry; just begin again. When you fulfill your vow, pick a new starting time and renew it again. Slowly increase the length of your vow until it becomes your very nature.
This is sanyama. Everybody is endowed with a little sanyama. When the mind falls back into its old patterns, two possibilities can happen. One is, you feel discouraged, you blame yourself, and you feel you have not made any progress. The second possibility is that you see it as an opportunity for sanyama and feel happy about it.
Bad habits will clog you and drain your life energy. Without sanyama, life will not be happy and disease-free. For example, you know you should not eat three servings of ice-cream or eat ice cream every day. If you do, you will get sick. Just give a positive direction to your life energy and you can rise above any habit through sanyama.
All those habits that bother you, bind them in vows, in sanyama. Take a time-bound vow today and make a note of it. If you break a vow, make a note of it and share the time and date at the next Satsang. Continue it again. Tie those habits which bring you pain in sanyama.
如何摆脱印象 (vasanas)呢？这对于有心摆脱积习的人来说是个问题。
你想要摆脱积习，因为它们带给你痛苦与限制。印象的本质是要困扰你──束缚你── 而生命希求自由。当灵魂不知如何得到自由时，就生生世世徘徊渴望自由。
发愿是摆脱积习的方法。
发愿应有时间限制。如此可以端正行为，使你不会任性。发愿时需要考虑到时间与地点。
举例来说，假如有个人说：「我要戒 烟。」但无法办到，他可以发个五天内不抽烟的愿。若有人惯于诅咒及说脏话，他可以发愿在 十天内不用脏话骂人。不要以一生的时间发愿，因为很快的你就会毁愿！如果在发愿期间你刚好毁了愿，没关系，重新再来即可。当要履行你的愿时，挑个新的起点，再 重新开始。慢慢地增长时间，直到那成为你的本性。
这就是愿(sanyama)。每个人都有些小愿。
当脑子停留在旧有的模式时，有两种可 能会发生。一 是，你觉得心灰意冷、自责、觉得自己一点进步都没有。二是，你将这些视为发愿的机会，而感到快乐。
积习会绊住你，并消耗你的生命能量。没有发愿，生命将不会快乐，且无法摆脱疾病。举例来说，你知道你不应该吃三客冰淇 淋或者每天吃冰淇淋，不然就会生病。只是给生命能量一个正向的指示，你就可以藉由发愿超越各种积习。
以发愿，以sanyama来约束你的 积习。今天立下一个有时间性的愿并记下来。如果毁了愿，记下来，并在下次唱场分 享毁愿的时间与日期。再次继续。用发愿来约束那些带给你痛苦的积习。
