Question: Guruji, during the Navratri you asked us to drop all the worries, disappointments, fear, insecurity etc, and all the negativities, in the fire of the Yagna (Homa). I did that and felt free for quite sometime. But after a while the worries started its work again, and I was back to the square one!! Guruji, is there a method that these negativities disappear permanently?


古儒吉，您要求我們在聖母節期間放下所有煩惱、失望、恐懼、不安…等，還有所有的負面否定，在Yanga(家)的火裡。在好些時候我做了同時感到自由。但是過了些時候煩憂又開始運作，而我又變回到那個呆板拘謹的人！！古儒吉，有什麼方法可以讓負面否定永遠消失呢？



Guruji: (Laughter) Till you get Vairagya (dispassion) , till the mind dies you have continue. That's why it is said, 'punah punah'(again and again). That's why Meera said, 'Baar baar bali jayu'. Again and again.. What happens is that the mind gets trapped! Therefore unless you find the ultimate contentment you have to do it again and again. And once you learn the skill then you remain unperturbed. Serenity becomes your nature. Even now if you look back and see yourself, you will se you have improved so much since the time you have been practicing pranayama, yoga and meditation. You will see you are so much better than before. I tell you once a person has learnt to swim, he can never forget to swim. Even he has not done so over a long time, he will still know. Similarly with practice, the mind learns to recognize what to let go. So when there is an event, the mind naturally, effortlessly says, "oh this I can let go"!!


古儒吉：(笑)直到你做到Vairagya(不動心)，直到你的心智死亡前時你都會繼續如此。這就為什麼有個說法說”’punah punah’(一而再再而三)。也是為什麼Meera(註1)說,：'Baar baar bali jayu’。一而再再而三…發生什麼事讓心智受到限制呢！。除非你能找到最終的知足不然你只會一而再再而三地重蹈覆輒。一旦你學到技巧你將不再繼續受到干擾。平靜變成你的本性。即使現在你回頭看你自己，你將會看到自己從開始練習呼吸法、瑜珈及靜心以來得到多大的進步。你會看到自己比以前更好。我告訴你人學過游泳，就永遠不會忘記如何游泳。即使他很久都沒有做過這件事，他還是知道要如何去做。相同的道理在練習上，心智知道如何辯識什麼要放手。所以當事件發生時，心智自然而然地，毫不費力地說,”哦~這事我可以放手。”



Question: Guruji, in our childhood we heard that there is someone named 'Chitragupta' who is talking note of all our actions and is responsible for counting our karma balances. Is that true? Is there really someone who is watching us every moment?


問：古儒吉，在我們小時候曾聽過有一個'Chitragupta'(因果會計師註2)，祂拿著一本記錄我們所有的行動及計算我們應負責的業力結餘本子。這是真的嗎？真的有誰時時刻刻在盯著我們嗎？



Guruji: (laughter) 'Chitra' means photo, picture and 'Gupta' means secret, hidden. The self who is witnessing the actions, the conscious mind is referred here to as Chitragupta. You know there is this saying which says, 'Under the foot-print of an elephant, all other marks dissolve'. Therefore under the Guru when are doing your Sadhana and seva and Satsang then everything else dissolves. Similarly Chitragupta is not the (Malik)God, he is the (Sevak) servant. But I tell you without self knowledge everything is false!!


古儒吉：(笑) 'Chitra'的意思是照片，照片及'Gupta'意指秘密、隱藏。正在目睹行動的自我，那個自覺意識在那裡參照就如同Chitragupta(因果會計師)，你知道這個說法還有另一種說法，’凡大象走過，皆不留痕跡’。所以在上師之下做你的功課、服務及唱場然後所有事情就消失了。相同的Chitragupta(因果會計師)並不是(Malik)神，他是(sevak)僕人。但是我告訴你自身沒有知識的話任何事情都是不真實的！！



Question: Guruji, Hanuman was the biggest devotee to the Lord Rama, why is it that we don't get to see Him any more?


問：古儒吉，人類是上主羅摩最大群的追隨者，為什麼我們再也無法看不到到他了呢！



Guruji: You don't get to see Him any more because He has settled in your heart!! And he wants you to look into your heart. Whatever fear of Lanka you have in your mind he wants you to get rid of it, and He is making the tail and the fire ready to burn it!! When the atmarupi Ram( referring to Sri Rama as the self) wants to meet the maanrupi Sita(referring to Sita as the mind), then devotion (referring to Hanuman) should take over to burn fear(referring to Lanka) by destroying Rvana(Ego) with the help of Laxmana(awareness) . In such a place, Victory is confirmed!!! And that day becomes the Dashere and Diwali. So there is a Dashera and a Diwali happening everday in our life!! (laughter!!)


古儒吉：你再也看不到祂是因為祂安住在你的心裡！而祂要你往自己的內心看。不管你心中有著任何來自楞伽(羅剎之都)的恐懼祂都要你擺脫它，而祂做著決策同時準備好火焰去焚燒它。當atmarupi Ram(意指聖羅摩如同自身)去見maanrupi Sita(意指希塔如同心智)，然後貢獻(意指人類)應該接管燃燒恐懼(意指Lanka)以摧毀Rvana(自我)以拯救Laxmana(註三)(覺知)。在這樣一個地方，勝利是必然的！！而那一天成為Dashere及Diwali，所以我們生活中每一天Dashere及Diwali都在發生！！(笑！！)



Question: Guruji, this body of our feels like such a burden at times. We suffer several diseases and it becomes an obstacle for us to merge with the Ultimate. Guruji, can you please explain how important it is to keep the body?


問：古儒吉，這具身體對我們而言有時似乎變成一種負擔。我們受苦於一些疾病而這成為我們與極大整合的障礙。古儒吉，能否請您解釋保存身體的重要性呢？



Guruji: You know there is a saying that the grass is always greener on the other side. There are thousands of souls who want to take a body to enjoy whatever you are enjoying right now! These souls are want to get a body, they are waiting!! Only fools leave the body, I tell you!! Only fools commit suicide! You have so many impressions from the last birth!! You must have been a donkey, cow, bull, buffalo,(laughter) anything!! You keep carrying the impressions and behave in a particular way!! You have tendencies!!


古儒吉：你知道有個說法說另一端的草永遠總是比較綠。而上千靈魂總想要個肉身來享受不管你是否正在享受著！這些靈魂想要得到一具身體，它們在等待！！我告訴你只有傻瓜才會捨棄肉身！！只有笨蛋才會自殺！你有那麼多來自上回出生的印象！！你必定曾經做過驢子、牛、水牛，(笑)任何東西！！。你持續帶著印象同時有著獨特的行為模式！！你有這傾向！！



Question: Guruji, You said at the Navratri the we see only 0.003% of what is actually happening. Can you please talk on that?


問：古儒吉，您說在聖母節我們只能看到0.003%真正發生的事。能否請您談談這部份？



Guruji: You know there was this scientist named Mickel kako who established a theory, after having done several experiments and research, that there are parallel worlds. It is he who said that, what we see is only 0.003% of what is actually happening. What we cannot see is the 'Dark Energy'. That's what he named it. The power of that 'Dark Energy' is unlimited! Its immense! In fact our Rig-Veda also says the same thing. The 'Dark' is referred to here as the 'Tamas'. Even Rig-Veda says that this 'Tamas' has great power. That's why they say 'Kali'. The dark goddess. She just do not symbolize destruction, she is also referred to as the epitome of knowledge. Like the pupil of our eye is dark! It is because of that we can see. Do you see what I am saying? He source of knowledge is the 'Kaali'…


古儒吉：你知道有位叫作Mickel kako在完成一些實驗及研究後建立了一個理論：平行世界是存在的。這就是他說的，我們只能看到真實發生的0.003%。而我們所看不到的是”黑暗能量”。”黑暗能量”的力量是無限的！是廣大無邊的！事實上我們的黎俱吠陀也有同樣的說法。在這裡’黑暗’被指為'Tamas'。即使黎俱吠陀說'Tamas'具有強大能量。之所以為何他們說'Kali'(卡利)。黑暗女神。祂不只是毁滅的象徵，也被稱為智慧的縮影。如同我們的瞳孔是黑色的！那是因我們能看得到。你明白我在說什麼嗎？他知識的來源就是'Kaali'(卡利)…

註二：在印度教裡面，因為有輪迴的緣故，天堂的概念不是很凸出。天堂是暫時的，要到下一個重生之後才可入，對於信奉印度教的信徒，熱望的是永久的國度稱為 Moksha。Moksha 被視為生死輪迴的靈魂解脫，是一種個人的基本神性本性的重新確立，而這種確立可能包括與神的融合或神的加入。
進入天國或地獄是由死亡之神閻羅王和他的因果會計師 Chitragupta 決定的。Chitragupta 紀錄一個人一生的好與壞行為。這裡閻羅王和 Chitragupta 都是至高上帝 Ishwara（神）的下屬，也在祂的指導下工作。進入天國與否只依從人在前世的行為，而不受宗教信仰而約束。因為人的好行為，在天國便會享受成果。天國的統治者是因陀羅，而生活在這個國土也包括了同眾多的天使。
