耐性

有人问古儒吉，

要如何培养耐性。

古儒吉静默了一阵子，

反问对方，

“明白了吗？”

错误

当你犯下一个错误时，

那并非是个错误，

你反而学到了宝贵的教训。

然而当你再犯同样的错误时，

那就是个错误了。

错误纯粹意味着，

你错过了迎面而来的一个教训。

不要哀叹自己的错误，只要从中学习教训，

别人不会以你的错误来评断你，而是你的美德。

有智慧的人，会从他人的错误中记取教训。

比较没智慧的人，会从自己的错误中记取教训。

愚蠢的人再三地犯同样的错误，

而且永远无法从中记取教训。

那些不将错误视为错误的人是有福的人。

要对自己的错误视而不见是困难的。

表面上你或许为自己找理由或向他人证明自己的无辜。

但错误会痛刺良心，不要为自己找理由，

反之，感受错误所带来的刺痛。

那刺痛将会带你远离错误。

~ 古儒吉大师~

镜子

你總是以自己的意見來看人和事，

意見和記憶正是你無法體驗真實的障礙。

每一個意見都成一個印象。

鏡子能反映外物，但只要把鏡子移動一下，影像隨之改變，

鏡中的反影就會消失，不留下任何印象。

~Sri Sri Ravi Shankar~

恢复最童真的心智，是我们毕生的功课。

大人老以为自己比较厉害，比较成熟，

高高在上惯了，

很多时候却还不如孩子般的活在当下。

我快乐吗？

在新的一年，当大家在祝贺新年快乐的时候，我问我自己，我快乐吗？

Are you happy?
What is your commitment in life? You may say you are committed to happiness. Every living creature wants to be happy. Whether it is money, power or sex, you get into it for the sake of happiness. Some people even enjoy misery because it gives them happiness !

To be happy, we seek something. But despite getting it, we are not happy. A school-going boy may think that if he goes to college, he will be more independent, free and therefore happy. If you ask a college-going boy whether he is happy, he feels that if he gets a job, he will be happy. Talk to somebody who is settled in their job or business, you already know what he will say! He is waiting to get a perfect soul mate, to be happy. He gets a soul mate, but he now wants a kid to be happy. Ask those who have children if they are happy. How can they relax until the children have grown up and have had a good education and are on their own. Ask those who are retired, are they happy? They long for the days when they were younger.

All of one’s life is spent in preparing to be happy someday in the future. It’s like making a bed all night, but having no time to sleep.

How may minutes, hours and days have we spent our life being happy from within ? Those are the only moments you have really lived life. Those were perhaps the days when you were a small kid, completely blissful and happy or a few moments when you were surfing, swimming or sailing or on a mountain top, living in the present and enjoying it.

There are two ways of looking at life. One is thinking that, “I’ll be happy after achieving a certain objective.” The second is saying that “I am happy come what may!”

Which one do you want to live?
