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。

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。
Love
ZY
