智慧與假我不會同行
你是自己最大的敵人：生命是一個技術性的失誤
摘錄自 Siri Singh Sahib Ji（瑜伽士巴贊）1992 年 9 月 15 日於美國新墨西哥州埃斯帕尼奧拉（Espanola）的演講
「……有一天，我搭飛機時，遇到一位空服員。她問我：『你住在哪裡？』
我告訴她我住的地方。
她說：『我可以去看看嗎？我從來沒有去過那個地區。』
我說：『隨時歡迎妳來拜訪我，妳非常受歡迎！』
我們開始交談。
我問：『妳會來嗎？』
她說：『是的，我會來。』
我說：『妳不會來。』
她說：『為什麼？』
我說：『妳可以說謊，但妳的氣場（Aura）不能。起初，妳想來。現在，妳心裡出現了一些念頭：「如果我去了，你會期待什麼？你想從我身上得到什麼？」等等、等等！』
我說：『算了吧，妳不會來的。』
『你怎麼知道？』
我說：『問題就在這裡。我知道，而妳不知道。現在，我怎麼能告訴妳我是如何知道的呢？我知道，起初妳是真誠的，妳想來。妳想了解，但現在妳不想了。』
『為什麼？』
我說：『妳的頭腦正在說，妳曾經去過某個地方，而且有過非常糟糕的經歷！』
『所以，你連這個都知道？』
我說：『是的！』
然後，我又告訴她另一段她生命中的故事。
她說：『請不要再說了。你是對的。我同意。起初，我見到你非常高興。我想看看你住的地方，也想去拜訪。但你是對的，我後來又有了第二個念頭。』
我說：『不，親愛的，這不是妳的錯。每個人都有第一個念頭、第二個念頭、第三個念頭、第四個念頭……』
「……第一個念頭來自靈魂。第二個念頭來自環境。第三個念頭來自小我（Ego）。第四個念頭來自不安全感與生存。第五個念頭來自傲慢。它們全都是念頭。生命是一個我們一直不斷犯下的技術性失誤。正是由於造物主神那充滿恩典的無限性，我們才能夠活著，哪怕只是一瞬間……」
在這場演講中，瑜伽士巴贊講述了一段經歷：一位航空公司的空服員產生了「第二個念頭」。「……如果你想知道，這件事對你有什麼好處，你就是在召喚痛苦。如果你知道自己內在有什麼，你就是在召喚成功。這是你的選擇。
今天，我正在說一些讓你們感到震驚的事情。如果你正在尋求一段關係，你就不知道自己是誰。這是你的無知所具有的一種典型傲慢。關係是一種情緒性、感官性的存在；每一次，你都必須有所傳遞。如果傳遞延遲了，你就會痛苦。如果傳遞太多，你就會過度興奮。
這很有趣。如果兩個存在已經融合為一，那麼就沒有距離，也沒有傳遞關係。想一想。你甚至無法融入其中。你想知道。你想說話。你想存在。你想看見。你想感受。你想理解。你想學習。我能學到什麼？我能教導什麼？就像一場遊戲：這裡有一台堆高機，它把你舉起來。來吧，來吧！現在，我們永遠不會玩那樣的遊戲，但我想從你身上拉出那個沉睡、休眠、充滿恐懼的東西。你的傲慢、令人厭惡的態度。你的遊戲，以及你的挫折。你是自己最大的敵人。
有人說：『靈魂是休眠的。』我說：『為什麼不會呢？任何東西，只要生活在暴君的統治之下，都會進入休眠狀態。』你們是人類的暴君。那麼，為什麼你們的靈性不應該休眠呢？…………有兩種宗教。一種是愚蠢，另一種是實相。你屬於哪一種？如果你是愚蠢的，那麼你就會屬於某一種宗教。如果你是有智慧的，你就屬於每一種宗教，因為你屬於實相。實相與愚蠢，是同一枚硬幣的兩面。無論你想要哪一面，都可以。那就是一種宗教。你不相信這一點，對吧？我知道。我所說的任何事情，你都不相信……
……如果你起反應（React），你就永遠無法復活（Resurrect）。……智慧與小我（Ego）不會同行。神與無限無法被分開。……你必須了解自己想要什麼。你想要幸福，還是不想？幸福來自神。神與無限無法被分開。你不能依靠別人而活。你可以與別人一起生活。而當你為別人而活的那一刻，你就成為神。神為我們而活；我們卻未必為祂而活。……從技術層面來說，我並不是一個非常健康的人。我也不是一個非常年輕的人。我是一個非常疲憊的人。我已經走過了許多旅程。隨著我的業力（Karmas）逐漸走向終結，我變得更加快樂。
我正在達成我的目標，並給予你們我最後的觸碰。在接下來的兩千年裡，你們將依照我的標準受到評判。你們的人數可能非常少，也可能很多。我將成為未來兩千年的標準：『實相將是整體性（Totality）。個體性（Individuality）將只會是痛苦與毀滅。沒有任何人能對此做些什麼。』
大約二十四年前，我就把這個訊息帶給了你們。
（註：『你必須從個體意識（Individual Consciousness）、經由群體意識（Group Consciousness），才能到達宇宙意識（Universal Consciousness）。』）
現在，提升到『一切』（All）之標準的時刻已經來臨。我花了整整二十三年的時間，才說出：『如果你無法在一切之中看見神，你就根本無法看見神。』
（If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all.）
這是一個非常正向的肯定宣言。這不是我憑空編造出來的東西。我是認真的……」
Wisdom and Ego do not Walk Together
You are Your Supreme Enemy: Life is a Technical Blunder
Excerpts from Siri Singh Sahib Ji's Lecture, Sept. 15, 1992, Espanola, NM
'...One day I was flying and there was a hostess and she said, 'where do you live?' I told her where I live. She said, 'Can I come and see that, I have never been to that area.?' I said, 'Visit me anytime, you are most welcome!' We started talking. I said, 'Will you come?' She said, 'Yes, I will' I said,
'You won't.' She said, 'How come?' I said, 'You can lie, your aura can't. First you wanted to come. Now there are thoughts in you, 'If I go, what will you expect. what do you want out of me, etc. etc!' I said, 'Forget it, you are not coming.' 'How do you know?' I said,
'That's the problem. I know and you don't. Now how can I tell you how I know? I know first you were sincere, you wanted to come. You wanted to know, but now you don't.' 'Why?' I said, 'Your mind is saying you visited such and such a place and you had a terrible time!'
'So, you know that?' I said, 'Yeah!
And then I told her another story of her life. She said, 'Please don't. You are right. I agree. First I was very happy to see you. I wanted to see where you live and I wanted to come. But you are right, I had second thoughts.' I said, 'No, my dear, it's not your fault. Everybody has first thought, second thought, third thought, fourth thought...
"..First thought is that of the soul. Second thought is that of the environments.
And third thought is thought of the ego.
Fourth thought is thought of the insecurity and existence, and fifth thought is
thought of the arrogance. They're all thoughts. Life is a technical blunder which we commit all the time. It's the gracious Infinity of the Creator God that we even live a moment...
In this lecture Yogi Bhajan relates an episode where an airline stewardness had "second thoughts."
"...If you want to know what is in it for you, you're calling for pain. If you know what is in you, you're calling for success. It is your choice. Today I'm saying something which you are shocked about.
" If you are looking for a relation-ship, you do not know who you are. It is a standard arrogance of your ignorance. Relationship is an emotional, sensory existence; each time you have to relay. If relay is delayed you are miserable.
If it is too much you are over-excited. It is funny. If two existences have come into merger, then there's no distance, there's no relay-ship. Think of it. You don't even fit into it. You want to know. You want to talk. You want to be. You want to see. You want to feel. You want to understand. You want to learn. What can I learn? What can I teach? Just like a game: here is a forklift. It lifts you up.
Come on, come on! Now, we'll never play a game like that, but I want to pull off of you that dormant sleeping thing which is afraid. Your arrogance, obnox-ousness. Your games and your frustrations. You are your own supreme enemy.
Somebody says, 'Soul is dormant.' I said, 'Why not?' Anything will go dormant when it lives under a tyrant.
You are human tyrants. Why should not your spirit be dormant?...
...There are two religions. One is
stupidity and the other is reality.
Which one do you belong to? If you are stupid, then you will belong to one religion. If you are wise, you belong to every religion, because you belong to reality. Reality and stupidity are two sides of the same coin. Whichever you want is fine. That's a religion. You don't believe that, right? I know. You don't believe anything I say...
"
... If you react you can never resurrect.
"
...Wisdom and ego do not walk together. God and Infinity cannot be separated. ...You have to understand what you want. Do you want happiness or not? Happiness comes from God. God and Infinity cannot be separated. You cannot live off others. You can live with others. And the moment you live for others, you become God. God lives for us; we may not live for Him.
...Technically speaking, I'm not a very healthy man. I'm not a very young man. I'm a very tired man. I have journeyed a lot. As my karmas are coming to the end, I'm happier.
I'm reaching my goals and giving you my last touch. You shall be judged by my standard for the next two thousand years. You may be very few or many. I shall be the standard of the next two thousand years:
"Reality shall be totality. Individuality will be nothing but pain and destruction. There's nothing anybody can do.
This message I brought to you almost twenty-four years ago. (Note: 'You have to go from individual consciousness through group consciousness to reach universal consciousness') Time has come to rise to a standard of 'all'. It has taken me exactly twenty-three years to say, 'If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all.' It's a very positive affirmation. It's not something I'm making up. I mean it..."
