Skepticism 怀疑论 (21)

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。

Ignorance is being a skeptic and not knowing it. If you think you are a skeptic, you are no longer a skeptic! You already have a clue of something beyond. So, in reality, you can never know when you are a skeptic!

A skeptic is stuck in a paradigm that closes off all other possibilities. But this creation contains all possibilities. As you understand how paradigms shift, skepticism drops.

A real scientist can never afford to be a skeptic because skepticism will not probe into unknown areas of existence. Skepticism is an "I know it all" attitude, and this attitude is unscientific. Skepticism is dispelled by Knowledge.

Do not recognise someone's skepticism and try to argue. Arguments only strengthen skepticism. Fear of losing one's freedom brings more resistence and causes more skepticism.

Deep inside every human being there is faith and love-Skepticism is only a thin layer. If you hold in your mind This person is a skeptic, you only empower his or her skepticism.

Your silence and the smile from your heart will dispel any skepticism. There is nothing better than silence to break it. Silence means a quality of consciousness, not just keeping your lips tight.

Skepticism comes only in people who walk with boundaries. Children have no skepticism. They live in their fantasy worlds, worlds of many possibilities. Their worlds are of innocence, joy, beauty, and love. 

无知即是身为怀疑者而不自知。如果你认为自己是个怀疑者，你就不再是个怀疑者了！你对某些超越的事已有了线索。因此，现实中，你绝对无法知道自己是个怀疑者！


怀疑者执着于例证，而这些例证封闭了其他一切的可能性。但这创造界包含着所有可能性。当你了解例证会改变时，怀疑即消失。

真正的科学绝对无法成为怀疑者，因为怀疑无法探究存在的未知领域。怀疑是种「我什么都知道」的态度，而这种态度是不科学的。知识驱除怀疑。

人类内在深处有着信仰与爱。怀疑仅是薄薄的一个层面。假如你在心中深信这个人是怀疑论者，你只是在强化他或她的怀疑论罢了。

不要指认他人的怀疑而企图与其争论。争辩只会加强怀疑而已。害怕失去自由的恐惧带来更多的抗拒，并导致更多的怀疑。你的沉默与发自内心的微笑会驱散任何的怀疑。破除怀疑最好的方法是沉默。沉默意味着意识的品质，而不仅只是紧闭双唇而已。怀疑只会来到故步自封的人中。小孩没有怀疑。他们活在他们的幻想世界里，一个充满可能性的世界。他们的世界纯真、喜悦、美丽与充满着爱。
