Wrapping Paper 包装纸 (31)

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 sensory pleasures in the world are like wrapping paper; the true bliss is the Presence inside.
 
Divine love is the present, yet we hold on to the paper and believe we have already enjoyed the gift. It's like putting a chocolate in your mouth with the foil wrapping still on. A little chocolate may seep through, but the foil makes sores in the mouth.
 
Unwrap the present. The whole world is there for you to enjoy. The wise know how to enjoy the gift inside, while the ignorant get stuck to the paper.
 
Bonus read:
 
Wally told Guruji: I have some property for you to consider as an ashram in the US.
 
Sri Sri: I want every home to be an ashram.  How many of you consider your home to be an ashram? If not, what keeps your home from being an ashram? What are the impediments? What do you think are the qualities of an ashram?
 
所有世间的感官享乐就像包装纸;真正的至福是内在的存在。


神性的爱是礼物。然而我们却紧握包装纸,并深信自己已经在享受礼物了。就好比把仍包着纸的巧克力放入口中一样。小小的巧克力或许会渗出,但是包裹的纸却弄痛你的嘴巴。

打开礼物。整个世界就在那里任你享受。聪明的人懂得如何享受里面的礼物,而无知的人却被那包装纸所困。

特别阅读:
瓦利对古儒吉说: 在美国我有些土地您可考虑作为一个静心所。

古儒吉说: 我要每个家都成为一个静心所。 有多少人认为你们的家是个静心所呢? 如果不是如此,是什么使你无法将自己的家视为静心所呢?有何障碍呢?你认为静心所应有哪些条件呢?
