Knowledge and Faith 知识与信念 (37)

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。

In science, you have knowledge first, then faith follows. Inspirituality, faith comes first, then Knowledge follows.

For example, the knowledge of pesticides and chemical plant fertilizers came through science, and people had faith in them; all over the world they have been used. Then another knowledge came that these were not good and the faith shifted to organic farming. The same with antibiotics.

A particular knowledge brought faith, yet when the knowledge changed, then the faith also changed. The knowledge and faith of science is from an isolated 'happening' instead of from a fully blossomed Knowledge of life.

In spirituality, faith is first and Knowledge comes later. Like Sudarshan Kriya, pranayama, yoga asanas and meditation-first you have faith and then Knowledge follows. For example, if you do pranayama faithfully, then you get the Knowledge of prana; if you do meditation faithfully, the Knowledge of consciousness follows. Even an illiterate person, through faith, attains deep Knowledge.

Science considers even human beings as matter; spirituality considers even earth as mother, even rivers and mountains as living beings.

Science regards life as matter,

Spirituality regards even matter as life.

在科学这方面，你先有知识，才有信念。在灵性方面，先有信念，才有知识。

举例来说，杀虫剂和化学肥料的知识来自科学，人们有此信念后，于是全世界加以利用。后来，另有知识出现说这些不好，于是人们的信念转移至有机耕作。抗生素的情形也是如此。

特殊的知识带来信念，然而当知识改变时，信念也随之而变。科学的知识及信念来自于「偶发性」的事件，而不是生命知识的全然开展。

在灵性方面，先有信念，然后才有知识。就如净化呼吸法、调息法、调身法和静心法──你先有信念，知识随之到来。比方说，如果你勤练调息法，就会得到生命能量的知识。勤练静心法，则意识的知识就随之来到。甚至文盲透过信念也会获得深奥的知识。

科学以物质来看待即使是万物之灵的人类。而灵性则视地球为母亲，即使是河流、山川也都是活的生命。


科学视生命为物质，灵性则以生命来看待即使只是物质的东西。
