How To Maintain Intimacy 如何保持亲密关系 (25)

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。

What breaks intimacy?
  • Ego or taking a position
  • Desire
  • Taking intimacy for granted
  • Finding imperfection in oneself or others
  • Expectations
  • Insensitivity or over-sensitivity
  • Lack of vivek or vairagya (discretion or dispassion)
  • Judgments
  • Grumbling or lack of gratitude
How can you maintain intimacy?
Intimacy is dissolving into infinity, which brings you to the moment. You go beyond the events.  

Look beyond the events, dissolve into infinity, and be in the moment.

This is the way to maintain intimacy. 

什么会破坏亲密关系呢
  • 我执及设定立场
  • 欲望
  • 将亲密视为理所当然
  • 挑剔自己或别人
  • 期望
  • 迟钝或过度敏感
  • 缺乏辨识力vivek或不动心vairagya
  • 批评论断
  • 发牢骚或缺乏感恩
如何维系亲密关系呢

亲密是在无限中融解融入无限将你带到当下并使你超越事件

超越事件去观看一切融入无限并置身当下

这即是保持亲密关系之道

A New Direction 一个新的方向

If you are someone who reads this blog regularly, you will notice that this initially interesting and regularly updated site has been left outdated and redundant for some time!
如果你时常有跟进这个部落格,你会发现原本精彩和时常更新的网络已变得过时及荒废好一阵子啦!

ENOUGH! 够了!
And if you are someone who is still reading up to this stage, urging me to write on and telling me that I had done a good job (which makes me wonder)...you would feel that a part of me is back (the cheeky and passionate part!) Even though I meditate to search within myself, I would like to thank all of you who showed me that I belong to you!
如果你到这个阶段还在读着我的心血,支持我继续下去,告诉我我写的好(好在哪里呢我也摸不着头脑)。。。你会察觉到部分的我已经回来啦(那顽皮又充满热忱的!)虽然我静心是向内在寻找自己,谢谢你让我感觉到我是属于你们的!

Specially dedicated to May and Guan Seng! 特别献给May姐和大佬昇!

Who Are You: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva - or Guru? 你的力量何者显著?(24)

23/11/1995 Bangalore Ashram, India 印度班格罗静心所

There are three forces: Brahma Shakti, Vishnu Shakti, and Shiva Shakti. You may have one of these dominant.

Brahma Shakti is the force to create something new, Vishnu Shakti is the ability to maintain.

Shiva Shakti infuses new life or destroys the old and brings transformation.

Some of you have Brahma Shakti. Your may create something well, but you may not be able to maintain it. For example, you may make friends fast, but your friendships do not last long.

Some of you cannot create but you are good at maintaining-for example, those who have long-lasting friendships but who have difficulty making new friends. Here Vishnu Shakti is dominant.

Some of you have more Shiva Shakti. You can bring in new life or transformation, or you can destroy the whole setup.

With Guru Shakti, all these three shaktis have blossomed fully.  So identify which shakti you have more and aspire for Guru Shakti.

Guru makes a group,
but a group cannot make a Guru.

有三种力量:  婆拉哈能量(Brahma Shakti), 维施奴(Vishnu Shakti), 希瓦能量(Shiva Shakti)。这三者之中, 你或许会有一种较显。

婆拉哈是创新的力量。

维施奴是维系的力量。

希瓦则是注入新生命或是摧毁旧物并带来蜕变的力量。

有些人具有婆拉哈能量。 你可能很会创新, 但也许无法维系。 举例而言, 你也许能很快地结交 到朋友, 但是友谊却无法持久。

有些人无法创新却擅于维系─ ─ 例如, 有人拥有长存的友谊, 却很难去结交新朋友。 这情形是维施奴能量较为显著。

有些人是希瓦能量较显著。你能带进新生命或蜕变─ ─ 或者你可摧毁整个局面。

拥有上师能量(Guru Shakti), 则这三种能量皆完全地绽放。 因此确定你的能量何者较显著─ ─ 然后立志朝上师的能量奋进。

上师创造团体,
但团体无法造就上师。

Part I Basic Course 20/3/2011 - 25/3/2011

Date 日期: 20/3/2011 - 25/3/2011
 

Venue 地点: Alor Setar Art of Living Centre
            亚罗士打生活的艺术中心
 
It has been an extremely long time since I have updated our Art of Living Alor Setar centre virtual space.  (Sorry!) 
I wish I could still be spending time typing and editing this favorite space of mine like I used to, but at the present moment (which is inevitable), I am very tied up at work, which left me little time to be a part of all the activities that the Alor Setar Art of Living Centre has arranged for us.

So what should we do? I could only say:
GET YOUR BUTT OFF THAT COUCH AND GO FOR GROUP PRACTICE REGULARLY TO GET THE LATEST UPDATES!
