生命中的地震
EARTHQUAKES IN LIFE
Siri Singh Sahib Ji
摘錄自 1994 年 1 月 23 日於新墨西哥州 Española 的謁師所講座。
［編者按：1994 年 1 月 17 日星期一，洛杉磯時間凌晨 4:31，一場令人難以忘懷的 6.7 級地震襲擊了南加州。接下來幾天持續發生大型餘震，強度逐漸減弱，其間仍間歇出現規模 3、4、5 級的「突然增強」。Siri Singh Sahib 前一晚才剛從聖地牙哥教課回來，原訂星期三前往新墨西哥州，在州議會開幕會議上發表演說。在這場傑出的講座中，他分享了自己經歷 Northridge 地震的經驗。由於篇幅有限，無法刊登整場講座，我強烈建議你去聽錄音帶 — 同時獲得聆聽他聲音的額外祝福，因為他的聲音總是能傳達出遠遠超越紙張與油墨所能提供的理解。在他許多談到寶瓶年代（Aquarian Age）的講座裡，他一直說，一切都將不再相同，而我總是在想：事情究竟會以什麼方式發生如此劇烈的改變？現在我知道其中一種方式了 — 那就是當大自然之母把一切搖動起來的時候。對我而言，生命肯定再也不會一樣了。］
我們自 1991 年起已經進入了寶瓶年代。事情正在改變，價值觀也正在改變。這並不是說胡蘿蔔汁將不再是胡蘿蔔汁，或鳳梨將不再是鳳梨，也不是說它們的特性與價值會改變。但是，人，以及人的價值，將會改變。人類生活所依循的比例，以及人類所能投射出的力量，都必須有所不同。即將到來的時代將會對此提出挑戰。而在這個挑戰之中，那些不了解如何調整自己，以適應寶瓶年代之廣闊性的人，將會因各種自然原因而被淘汰。
錫克正法（Sikh Dharma）給你用來專注的一個觀念是：
「Ang Sang Wahe Guru」它非常堅定並一再地相信：事情可能超越你…… 你只是整體的一部分，你不可能就是整體。世界上有 80% 超越了主體與客體；主體與客體之間的交互作用，只涉及 20% 的事物。另外 80% 是完全超越人類概念的現象。
錫克正法與上師 Gurus 已經解釋過：你無法為無限（infinity）設下任何界限 — 它是無限無邊的。
Akaal Moorat。神是不死的、無限的，超越任何邊界，超越任何功與過，超越任何定義與描述。所以，它真正的意思是：事情可能在某個瞬間，以令人難以置信的方式自發地發生。如果我們始終相信事情隨時可能自發地發生，並且在心智上準備好承接那個情況，那麼我們便能直覺地感受到那些事情，而它也就不會顯得異常。你愛你的家人，你愛你的妻子，你愛你的孩子，你愛你的環境 — 這就是你所愛的一切。你愛你的家，你愛你的工作，你喜歡富有。這都沒有問題。但是，在這之外，有一個界限。在某一個時刻，所有這些愛都無法再承載你。那時候，你要往哪裡去？回到你的衰老？回到你的憂鬱？只要一個人持續理解神的無限性，人就會讓自己的品格、特質與投射擁有那份寬廣。一切就是一切，因為「一切」存在。
所以，看看吧。幾天前，凌晨 4:31 — 這是我非常個人的經驗 — 4:30 的時候我說：
「嗯，啊，現在是 4:30。這是與神同在的時間。」那就是我個人的經驗。然後到了 4:31，地球不再與我們同在。完全不是。每一個人都感受到了。當時值班的人不知道我可能處在什麼狀況，所以那個人跑過來，整個人撲到我身上，試圖抓住我，大喊：
「地——震——！」我說：「抓住這裡，就在這扇門之間。」我試著讓那個人待在門框之間，因為我知道正在發生地震，而那裡是最堅固的地方。那個人想把我抱起來、把我拖出去，但是根本沒有什麼「外面」可以出去。總之，在那 45 秒裡，整齣戲就是這樣發生的。在那過程中，那個人累得筋疲力盡，最後反而是我能夠把那個人帶出去，而一切都還好。於是我們到了外面，坐在椅子上。我告訴每一個人：「去看看周圍發生了什麼，但要小心，它還沒有停止。」人們完全失去了方寸。沒有人知道該怎麼辦。所以我們做的事情是建立一個急救站。每一個來到這裡的人，我們就給他們柳橙和香蕉，然後說：「吃吧。」因為當生命中再也沒有任何東西能讓人感覺自己還活著的時候，吃東西是唯一能讓人感覺自己還活著的事情。當生命中沒有任何東西能讓你感覺活著時，吃就是一種滿足。有時候你一直吃，甚至胖到死——但你就是想吃。吃，是你用來補償自己沒有與生命同在的一種習慣。當你沒有與自己的生命同在時，你就會吃。
Guru Gobind Singh 的話。他給出的指示是：「少吃，少睡。」但是，只有當你在心智上、靈性上與身體上都感到滿足時，你才能做到這一點。所以你們大多數人需要大約八到十個小時的睡眠，像魚一樣蜷縮著，好不容易才能在某個時候睡上一點。而且你吃很多。你吃很多，是為了獲得那種：「我還活著」的感覺。所以我們設立了那個站，讓每一個人都感到受到歡迎。每個人吃了一根香蕉和一顆蘋果，然後大家就開始交談。而每一個人共同說出來的一件事情就是：「神真的存在！」所以，如果神必須證明祂自己真的存在，我想祂應該有組織地努力一下，每天都來一次地震。否則，在一切正常的情況下，沒有人會記得或理解神的存在。當時在場的每一個人，甚至連鄰居都說：「神啊！」我說：「哇，現在他們明白了，真的有一位神，祂只要稍微移動一下板塊，就可以把整個根基搖動起來。」
心智的地震
從放大的尺度來看，那是地球上一次 6.6 或 6.7 級的震動。但是你知道嗎？
在你自己的心智大地、心智板塊上，你每天都會發生這種 8.8 級的震動，而且一天三次。你知道當你刻薄 — 非常刻薄、非常沒有安全感的時候 — 你對自己造成了多大的傷害嗎？你明白，每一天、每一個人的內在，正在發生多麼巨大的心智地震嗎？感謝神，靈性是沉睡的，靈魂是沉睡的，它沒有涉入其中。否則，那可能會造成一個人立即的死亡。你明白嗎？當你嫉妒得太過分，以至於你無法容忍任何人？當你憤怒得太過分，以至於你無法容忍任何人？你無法容忍另一個人的存在 — 另一塊板塊 — 於是你們正面直接撞擊？而大多數時候，你是在心智上這麼做；偶爾，你也會在身體層面這麼做。所以：生命就是地震。如果一個人尚未領悟神，那就是一場震動。而這種震盪會在這裡、那裡暴露出來。每一個人都想要掩蓋。每一個人都想要修飾。每一個人想要的，都不是真實的人格。
因此，錫克正法說：
「Akaal Moorat, Ajoonee, Saibhung, Gur Prasaad。」
這幾句話完整地界定了人的法則：「像神一樣，活在完美的自我之中。」不要把你的靈魂賣給這個世界。世界是被給予靈魂的。既然某樣東西是給予靈魂的，你為什麼反過來要為了那樣東西，把自己的靈魂拿去典當？你的靈魂必須是自由的。你的 Karma 不應該把你的靈魂典當出去——這個地球原本就是被給予你的靈魂的。身體是不透明的。否則，轉變持續進行著。靈魂從不透明走向透明的轉變持續進行著。靈魂是無限的。
而在它能夠被看見的這段期間，並不表示你應該為了那些不透明的事物，而把自己的靈魂典當出去。你一直說謊，你活在謊言裡。你從來沒有理解：一切具有形體、形狀以及服務的事物，都是由神自己直接或間接提供的。這是真實者（True One）的家，而唯有真實者居住於此。人只是一個消費者。而你身為一個消費者，怎麼能忘記那位店主（storekeeper）呢？
今天，經歷生命的過程具有意義。經歷生命有它的價值。而經歷生命，絕對有它的代價。你必須付出代價，才能穿越這份不透明。地球這個星球，是靈魂的不透明形態；在這個形態中，你可以辨認出每一個其他的靈魂。你與每一個其他靈魂的關係，是一種結合的關係，而在其中，你看見神。正是你的行動與反應，創造了你與神之間的靠近與遠離。這就是你必須進行的交易。如果你無法容忍某個人富有，於是你開始嫉妒、開始痛苦、開始變得可怕，那麼：你會灼燒自己的靈魂。你會為了毫無意義的事情，在自己的靈魂上覆上一層灰燼。
三種 Karma
Guru Nanak 說：「每一個人都在四處跳動，但只有神所做的事情，才真正發生。」
每一個人都依照 Karma 得到相應的結果。依照先前 Karma 的 pralapt，依照現在的 Karma — nit-karma，以及依照 ankari karma，也就是那些已經被承諾的 karmas。
每一個人都會得到一切。沒有人會被拒絕得到那些東西。如果你的 karmas 與當下的情況相應，使你非常充滿恩典，那麼你的生命也會非常充滿恩典。但如果你的生命充滿了像地震一樣的心智震動，你的生命就會非常不純淨。那將是一個破裂的生命、痛苦的生命、關係破裂的生命，以及關係中的痛苦。因為你始終沒有活在自己的心智平衡之中。
你沒有活在自己的心智和諧之中。這就是地球上每一個人都會經歷的、最重要的地震。
它會像火山爆發一樣顯現出來 — 像仇恨、像憤怒、像暴力。它會以心智中的陰謀、偷偷摸摸的行為以及攻擊顯現出來。而最糟糕的是：當你為了地上的事物，把自己的靈魂典當出去時，它就顯現出來了。是的，去賺取，去享受，這沒有任何問題。但是，當你想要以犧牲自己的尊嚴、正直、榮譽，以及生命最初的原則為代價去獲得東西時，你就是在典當自己的靈魂。那麼，要讓它重新獲得自由，就需要一整個生命的循環。事情就這樣定下來了。這就是 Guru 所說的：「……要害怕那樣的 Karma。」要警覺，不要讓自己在這一生的過程中，最終傷害了自己的靈魂。我們現在能辨認這個生命，是因為它存在，而且它有界限。從出生到死亡，只是靈魂以不透明形態存在的一段旅程。然後，在死亡之中，它變成透明。它從透明而來，進入不透明的存在形態，然後再次回到透明。確實，周圍存在著數以百萬、甚至無數的透明靈魂。心靈是完整的。地球是充滿的。如果一個人沒有他的第三眼，沒有他的直覺之眼，沒有他的第六感，他便無法看見、感受並與之互動。有些靈魂四處遊走，它們是鬼魂 — 它們是透明的靈魂。有巴薩，那是透明的靈魂。有提婆（天人），也是透明的天使，那也是透明的靈魂。也有惡魔；那同樣是透明的靈魂。沒有差別……我們透過上師 Guru 的艱辛工作而獲得這個身體。這是一個能夠被看見，也能夠去看見的機會。去看，也被看見。如此，在「看見」與「被看見」之中，我們才能毫無欠債地穿越過去。
Karma 之網
所有服務於 Karma 的人，都將落入 Karma 之網，最終除了成為一個 karm 之外，什麼也不是；而 karm 是一種持續不斷的痛苦。只有當 karm 成為 dharm 時，你才能活在自己更高的真實自我之中。而其實，並不存在什麼「更高的自我」。存在的是那個真正的自我。……當我看到人類如此狹窄、膚淺、空洞、反應性強、憤怒、失去尊嚴— 身處人類的身體裡，彼此相處卻毫無包容。對他們而言，唯一重要的是：「我。」「我，我。」在他們彼此反應的世界裡，沒有其他任何人能夠存在。那麼，這到底是什麼遊戲？當沒有任何人是你這場遊戲的一部分時，也就根本沒有遊戲了。你最終會成為一個孤獨、憂鬱、自我封閉的人。而這被稱為：「冷性憂鬱（cold depression）。」
一旦冷性憂鬱開始，它就像一個冰河時期，各位，你將會被凍結。你的生命將不再有幸福。忘掉你的神聖、你的神聖行為、你的裝模作樣與偽裝。當生命的考驗每天來臨，當你必須面對每一個人的時候，如果你沒有勇氣控制自己，並感受到：
你是 Akaal Moorat，你是 Ajoonee，你是 Saibhung，那麼你在那個時刻就完全沒有那份勇氣。而這份生命的特權，就是：Gur Prasaad。
愛不是一件壞事。愛是一件事。你因愛而活。你為愛而死。但是：愛不是依附。讓它走；讓它走。讓它存在；讓它存在。你不可能和每一件事都角力相抵（lock horns），同時還能昂首前行。你會成為輸家。你不能藉由競爭、比較，以及陷入混亂，把自己的 心靈與任何另一個心靈鎖在一起。你必須成為你自己。你必須為自己保有自己的靈魂。
你必須贏得它 — 你必須贏得它！因為你曾經贏得它，才把它帶進這個不透明的形態，使你能夠看見，也被看見。你應該看見什麼？如果你無法在一切之中看見神，你就根本無法看見神。也讓別人在你身上看見神。不要只是去看見神 — 也要讓自己被看見如神一般。讓你的行動、你的語言、你的話語證明：你是一個神聖的人。他接著說，使一個人成為他真正所是的，並不是一個頭銜，也不是一張證書。並不是因為一個人被稱為 錫克，他就成為真正的錫克。真正使他成為錫克的，是行動。……那是行動的真實性。
那是像神一樣給予的力量。那是 Seva — 服務的力量。那是成為（to be）的力量。
「每個人都在談勇氣 — 只有在面對死亡時，你才真正活出勇氣！」那時，它才真正具有意義。只有當一切都跌到谷底、最為黑暗，而你仍然站得最高時，你才是領導者，那時你才真正是一個人。只有在誘惑面前 — 當有人給你一千八百萬美元，只要你簽一個名字就能得到，而你說：「不。」只有在那個時刻 — 當你曾經想要、需要的一切全都被放到你面前，但是因為那不是你自己賺來的，所以你拒絕 — 你才會明白：最甜美的，是自己努力所得的成果。人類身體的這份不透明性，就是為了學習如何贏得自我。
生命的這一部分，是為了讓你透過靈魂的旅程使自己自由，來到這裡，並繼續前行。
靈魂的旅程，就是觀察、觀察、觀察；並且透過觀察而理解，然後：吸收、吸收、吸收；接著：遵從、遵從生命的法則，以達至卓越。這就是學習的過程。這樣的靈魂，透過觀察、吸收，以及遵從自然法則，學習一切存在的事物。但是，當逆轉發生時，同一個靈魂便會透過它的身體，理解這個逆轉。當心智接管一切時，你就開始試圖給人留下印象、施加控制、背負重擔，最後失去道路的真實。
［編者按：我強烈建議你取得這卷錄音帶，以冥想的方式聆聽 Siri Singh Sahib 帶領你走過 —《靈魂的旅程：從開始到終點》（The Journey of the Soul From Beginning to End）。］
* Akaal Moorat、Ajoonee、Saibhung、Gur Prasaad：
神的屬性：不死、無生、自我照亮、Guru 所賜予的祝福之禮。
* 「如你所播種的，你也將如此收穫。」
也就是說，你會得到由自己的行動所啟動的一連串後果。
EARTHQUAKES IN LIFE
Siri Singh Sahib Ji
Excerpts from Gurdwara Lecture Jan 23, 1994, Espanola, New Mexico
[Ed note: Monday.January 17, 1994, at 4:31
AM, Los Angeles time, an unforgettable earthquake of 6.7 magnitude struck Southern California. Large after-shocks continued in the following days, gradually diminishing in intensity, with intermittent "spikes" in the 3, 4 and 5 point ranges.
The Siri Singh Sahib had just returned the night before from teaching in San Diego, and was scheduled to go to New Mexico on Wednesday where he addressed the opening session of the State Legislature. He shared his experience of the Northridge quake in this outstanding talk. Space does not permit printing the entire lecture, l urge you to listen to it on tape — and get the added blessing of hearing his voice which always conveys so much more understanding than just paper and ink can supply. In so many of his lectures about the Aquarian Age he has been saying that nothing will be the same, and I always wondered in what way could things change so dramatically?
Now I know one way, and that is when Mother Nature shakes things up. Life will certainly never be the same for me.)
We have entered the Age of Aquarius since 1991. Things are changing, and so are the values. It will not be that carrot juice will not be carrot juice. Or pineapple will not be pine-apple, or its properties and values will change. But the human and human values will change. The proportion in which the human lives and the projection of which the human is capable has to be different. The coming time will challenge it. And in that challenge, the people who do not understand to adjust themselves to the vastness of the Age of Aquarius shall be eliminated - with natural causes of all kinds.
The idea which Sikh Dharma gives you to concentrate on is "Ang Sang Wahe Guru"
• It does believe very
firmly and repeatedly that things can be beyond you.... You are just a part of the whole, you cannot be the whole. And as 80% of the world is beyond subjection and objection; and object and subject interplay only 20% of things: 80% is the phenomena which is totally beyond human concept. Sikh Dharma and the Gurus have explained that there is no limit you can place on infinity — limitless
- Akal Moorat. God is deathless, infinite, beyond any boundary, beyond any merits and demerits, beyond any definition and description. So what it means actually is that things can happen unbelievably at a spontaneous mo-ment. And if we believe all the time that things can happen spontaneously all the time, and we are mentally prepared to hold that situation, then intuitively we can feel those things and it will not be abnormal.
You love your family, you love your wife, you love your children, you love your environments, that's all you love. You love your home, you love your work, you love to be rich.
This is all right. But beyond this there's a limit. At one moment all this love shall not carry you. Then where are you going to go? Back to your senility; back to your depression. So long as a human continuously understands the infinity of God, human will give its character, its characteristics and its projection the width. All is all because All is.
Therefore, just watch, a few days ago, at 4:31 am, and it's a very personal experience of mine, 4:30 I said,
"Uh, ah, it's 4:30 now. This is the time to be with God." That's what my personal experience was, and at 4:31 the earth was not with us. Absolutely not. And everybody felt it. And the person on duty didn't know in what condition I might be, and so the person came and jumped all over me and tried to grab me, "Earrrrrrth - quuuuaaaake." and I said, "Hold right here, between this door." I was trying to hold the person between the door, knowing there's an earthquake and that's the strongest point. And the person wanted to pick me up and pull me out, but there was no "out"
'. Any-
way, in that 45 seconds, the drama went like that. And, in between, that person was so exhausted that I could carry the person out, and it was fine.
So we went outside and sat in a chair.
And I said to everybody, "Check around what's happening, but be careful, it's not stopping." People were just absolutely out of their wits. Nobody knew what to do. So what we did is, EARTHQUAKES... Cont'd from p. 13 we made a first-aid station. Everybody who came, we gave them oranges and bananas and said, "Eat." Because that's the only thing in which people can feel alive, when they eat.
That's one satisfaction when in life there's nothing to feel alive, you eat. And sometimes you eat and become fat to death - but you want to eat. Eating is your habit to compensate for not being with your life. When you're not with your life, you'll eat.
"Eat little and sleep little" — This is the word of Guru Gobind Singh, he gives the dictate, "Eat little and sleep little," but you can only do it when you feel satisfied mentally, spiritually and physically. So most of you need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep to curl around like a fish and somewhere get a little sleep. And you eat a lot. You eat a lot for the sense that you feel alive.
So we made that station to make everybody welcome and everybody ate a banana and an apple and they just started talking. And one thing common came out of everybody, that there is God! So if God has to prove Himself there is a God, I think He should make an organized effort to have an earthquake every day. Other-wise, in the normalcy of circumstances, nobody remembers or understands there's a God. And everybody who was there, even the neighbors, said, "God!" I said, "Wow, now they understand there is a God which can remove the plates a little bit and shake up the base."
Mental Earthquakes
Now, on a magnified point it was
6. 6 or 6.7 shake on the earth. But do you know on the mental earth of yours, mental plate, you have these kind of 8.8 shakes every day, thrice a day? Do you have any idea how much you damage yourself when you are mean, very mean, very insecure, do you understand how much mental earthquake is going on in everybody everyday?
Mental Earthquakes
Now, on a magnified point it was
6. 6 or 6.7 shake on the earth. But do you know on the mental earth of yours, mental plate, you have these kind of 8.8 shakes every day, thrice a day? Do you have any idea how much you damage yourself when you are mean, very mean, very insecure, do you understand how much mental earthquake is going on in everybody everyday?
Thank God, spirit is dormant, soul is dormant, it doesn't get involved. Otherwise, it can be instant death of a human. Do you understand when you are too much jealous, you can't tolerate anybody? Too much angry and you cannot tolerate anybody?
You cannot tolerate the existence of another human and, another plate, and you clash directly head on? And mostly you do it mentally and once in a while you do it physically? So, life is earthquake. And if a person has not realized God, it's a quake. And this quakery gets exposed here and there. And everybody wants a cover-up. Everybody wants a make-up. Everybody wants not real personality.
That is why Sikh Dharma says,
"Akaal moorat, ajoonee, saibhung, Gur prasaad. "* These lines totally define the human law: "Live like God in perfect Self." Do not sell your soul to the world. World is given to the soul.
Something given to the soul, why do you want to pawn the soul for that thing? Your soul has to be free. Your karma should not pawn the soul, your soul, to which this earth was given.
Body is opaque. Otherwise the transition continues. The soul from opaque to transparent continues. The soul is infinite. And within the period when it can be seen, that does not mean you should pawn the soul for the opaqueness of the things. You lie all the time, you live lies. You have never understood, everything in form, shape and service is provided directly and
indirectly by God Himself.
This is the house of the True One, and True One only lives. Human is just a consumer. And how can you, as a consumer, forget the storekeeper?...
Processing life today has a mean-ing. Processing life has a value. And processing life absolutely has a price.
You have to pay the price to go through this opaqueness. Planet earth is the opaque form of the soul in which you can recognize every other soul. Your relation to every other soul is a combined relationship where you see God. And it is your actions and reactions which create you near and far away from God. And that is the transaction you have to do. If you do not tolerate that someone is rich, and you start just being jealous and you start being miserable and you start being horrible, you'll burn your soul. You'll put ash on your soul for nothing.
Three Kinds of Karma
Guru Nanak said, "Everybody jumps around, but only what God does, that happens." Everybody gets according to the karma. According to the pralapt of the previous karma, according to the karma now, nit-karma and according to the ankari karma, which is the karmas which have been promised. Everybody will get every-thing. Nobody can be denied those things. And if your karmas are relevant to the situation that you are very graceful, then life will be very graceful. And if your life is full of mental quakes, like earthquake, your life will be very impure. And there'll be life of breakage, life of misery, life of break of relationship, misery of relationship, because all the time you do not live in your mental equilibrium. You do not live in your mental harmony. That's the most important earthquake which everybody gets in the planet. And it shows up like a volcano eruption, like hatred, like anger, that violence. It shows up in mental intrique and sneakiness and attack.
And worst of all it shows up when you pawn your soul for the earthly things.
Yes, earn, enjoy, there's no problem with that, but when you want to earn at the cost of your dignity, at the cost of your integrity, at the cost of your honor, at the cost of your principles of first life, then you pawn your soul. Then it will take a full life circle to free it. Then it's a done deal. And that is where Guru says, " ...from that
karma, be afraid." Be scared you may not end up damaging your soul in the process of this life. Because it is recognized this life now, is because it is, and it has a limit. From birth to death it is only the journey of the soul in opaque form. Then, in death it becomes transparent. It comes from transparent moves into the opaque form of existence and goes again to the transparent. And it is true there are millions and zillions of transparent souls around. The psyche is complete. The earth is full. If somebody does not have his third eye, if somebody does not have his intuitive eye, he has not his sixth sense to see, feel and deal.
There are souls which run around and they are ghosts. They are transparent souls. They are pasach, that's transparent souls. There are devas, that is transparent angels, that's a transparent soul. There are devils; that's a transparent soul. There's no difference... We earn through the Guru's hardship to get this body. A chance to be seen and see. See and seen so that in the see and the seen we can go across with absolutely no debit.
The Net of Karma*
All those who serve karma shall fall in the net of karma and shall be nothing but in the end a karm, and karm is a continuous pain. It is only when karm becomes dharm, you can live in your higher real self. And there's no higher self. There's an actual self...
...When I see humans totally narrow, shallow, empty, reactive, angry, disgraceful, in human body, acting with each other with no tolerance.
Only important to them is "me." "Me, I" nobody else can exist in their interreactory earth. Now what game is this?
When nobody's a part of your game, then there's no game. You'll end up lonely, depressed self-conceived person
— and it's called "cold depression." And once cold depression starts, it's like an ice-age, folks, you shall freeze. Your life will have no happiness.
Forget your holiness and your holy acts and pretensions and your pretense.
When a test of life comes every day, when you have to deal with everybody you will have absolutely no sense of courage at that time to control your self and feel that you are Akaal moort, you are ajoonee, you are saibung. And this privilege of life is Gur prasaad.
...Love is not a bad thing. Love is a thing. You live by love. You die for love.
But love is not attachment. Let it go; let it go. Let it be; let it be. You cannot lock horns with everything and still walk with your head tall.
You will be a loser. You cannot interlock your psyche with any psyche by competing, by comparing and being confused.
You have to be you. You have to have your soul for yourself. You have to
earn it—YOU HAVE TO EARN IT! be-
cause you earned it to bring it to the opaque form to see and be seen. What should you see? If you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at all. Be seen as God, too. Only don't just see God, be seen as God. Let your actions, let your language, let your words prove that you are a divine person. He went on to say that it is not a title or a certificate that makes a person what they are, it is not being called a Sikh which makes a person a Sikh, it is the action.] ...It's the reality of action. It's the power of giving like God. It's the power of seva, the service. It is power to be. "Everybody talks of courage, - it is only in the face of death you live it!" Then it means some-thing. It is only when things are down and darkest you walk tallest, then you are the leader and then you are the human. It is only in the face of temptation when somebody offers you eighteen million dollars, and your one sig-nature can get it, and you say, "No." It is only at that time when you are given all that you wanted and needed, but because you didn't earn it, you refuse, because sweetest is the result of self-earning. This opaqueness of the human body is to learn to earn the self. This part of life is meant to free yourself through the journey of soul and come and keep going.
Journey of the soul is to observe, ob-serve, observe and understand by observation to absorb, to absorb, to absorb and then to obey, to obey the law of life for the excellence. And that is the learning pro-cess. Such souls learn all that there is by observing, by absorbing and by obeying the law of the nature. But when the reversal happens, then the same soul, through its body, understands the reversal of it. When the mind takes over, then you try to impress, impart control and carry the load, and lose the reality of the path.
[Ed Note: I urge you to get this tape and listen meditatively as the Siri Singh Sahib takes you on The Journey of the Soul From Beginning to End .] •
* Attributes of God: Deathless, birthless, self-illumined, blessed gift of the Guru.
"As you sow, so shall you reap," ie, you get the consequences of the sequence set in motion by your actions.
