摘要：自我让你愚蠢---Ego makes you stupid

Ego makes you stupid摘自http://www.sahajayogameditation.com/

The right hand side is the ego, which is real problem, you understand that, is a real colossal one you have to face them, I mean. I say anything small here and there I find the whole thing coming up onto my head like that. So what is the solution for a colossal ego? Colossal ego can only be conquered by forgiving others. Those who have ego must learn if they feel hurt they must say, “forgive.” Then another person hurts them, say, “forgive.” And not only forgive but ask for forgiveness. Both things should be done, more asking for forgiveness. You have to ask for forgiveness if you have too much of ego.

右边的是自我，是真正的问题，你们理解那，是真的巨大的一个。

你必须面对它们，我意思，我这里那里说任何小事情，我发觉所有事情都劈头盖脸的冲过来了。

因此，什么是一个巨大的自我的解决方案？

巨大的自我只能藉着宽恕他人而被征服。

那些有自我的必须学会，如果他们觉得受伤害他们必须说，“原谅”。

接着另一个伤害他们的人，说：“原谅。”

不仅原谅，而且请求原谅。

两件事都要做，请求更多的原谅。你必须请求原谅，如果你有太多的自我。

It is very important. Because if you have too much of ego means what? That you have pampered it too much. That means you have used it too much. You have dominated people and that’s why you have such a lot of ego. If you have such a lot of ego you must all the time try to humble down in your heart. Now in the heart resides the Spirit. The ego, too much of ego in a person always takes you away from that Spirit. That’s why it is said, “Humble down in your heart.” The reason is, in the heart resides that part of yours which gets completely obliterated or forgotten once you start pumping up your ego.

这是非常重要的。因为如果你有太多的自我意味着什么？你宠爱它太多。那意味着你使用它太多。你宰制人们，这就是为什么你有那么多的自我。如果你有那么多的自我，你必须尝试所有的时间在你的心中谦卑下来。现在在心中住着灵。

自我，一个人里面的太多的自我总是在引诱你远离灵。那就是为什么那样说，“在你的心中谦卑下来。”原因是，在心中居住着的你的那部分，得到完全地抹杀或忘记，一旦你开始沸腾你的自我。

But ego has its limits, it ends up into stupidity and foolishness. You take any person who is egoistical and who’s blowing his own trumpet. You will immediately know because he’ll be stupid. Without understanding what he’s doing he’ll be doing such stupid things that you will start wondering, especially children, “What’s the matter with this fellow, he is quite funny?” And then the stupidity you see faces the person then he sees for himself, “Oh God! how did I become so stupid?” The stupidity comes to you because you forget the existence of God and your relationship with the whole. You think, “I am on my own. Why should I not do this? What is wrong in this, what is wrong in that? I should do these things.”

但自我有其局限性，它终结于愚蠢和无知。你接触任何一个自私的，吹他自己的喇叭的人，你立刻会知道，因为他是愚蠢的。不理解他在做什么，他会做如此愚蠢的事情，你会开始怀疑，特别是孩子，“这家伙有什么问题啊，他真有趣？”接着，愚蠢，你看到的，对着那个人，然后他为自己明白“懊，上帝！我怎么变得这么蠢？”愚蠢冲向你，因为你忘记了神的存在，及你与整体的关系。你想：“我在走自己的路。为什么我不能做这呢？这有什么错，那有什么错？我要做这些事。”

I mean in this country the way people are fighting for things. I mean you must, anybody I mean, those so-called developing countries can’t understand what kind of a thing happening to these people. Because the other day my son-in-law Lav was reading an article that people are demanding now that the son-in-law should be allowed to marry the mother-in-law. And he just couldn’t understand how can people gather together and ask for such an absurd thing like that. She is your mother. How can you say that way? I mean it is something an impossibility for people, normal people to think like that. That a son-in-law can marry the mother-in-law. And what is there to make a law about it and to talk about it. It’s a very difficult thing.

我的意思，在这个国家，人们正在为之“奋斗”的方式。

我的意思是你必须，任何人我意思，那些所谓的发展中国家，无法理解哪类事情正发生在这些人身上。

因为有一天，我的女婿拉夫在读一篇文章，说现在人们要求女婿应被允许与岳母结婚。他只是不明白人们怎么能聚在一起，要求像那样的荒唐事。

她是你的妈妈。你怎么能那样说？我的意思那是不可能的事情，对一个人，正常的人去那样想：一个女婿可以与岳母结婚。

有什么值得制定关于那的法律，并谈论那。那是一件非常困难的事情。

All kinds of stupid things we are doing in this country, which really makes everybody roar with laughter. Is because of our Mr. Ego companionship. It is not easy to understand how he befools us. It goes on befooling us all the time and then we think what’s wrong? An eighty-year-old man running after a twenty-year-old girl. And the twenty-year-old girl befooling this eighty-year-old man, supposed to be a statesman this, that and his statue is erected somewhere there. How is it possible?

在这个国家我们做着各种愚蠢的事情，这真让大家哄堂大笑。是因为我们的自我先生相伴。不容易了解它如何愚弄我们。它所有的时间一直愚弄我们，然后我们想有什么不对？一个80岁的男子追求一个23岁的女孩。这个20岁女孩玩弄这个80岁的男子，假设是一个政治家，这，那，且他的铜像被竖立在某处。那怎么可能？

It is only the ego makes you do all these nonsensical and stupid things. Once you are in Sahaja Yoga you don’t know how to control your laughter sometimes the way people are foolish. Extremely foolish. And this is what it is; it ends up in stupidity absolute stupidity. I mean even if you want to write a novel you won’t get such beautiful characters as you could around you, when you listen to them. And you’re shocked, Oh God what’s this going on and very embarrassing too. Extremely embarrassing and they become so foolish with their ego that one cannot understand how thinking man, because by thinking you get your ego, becomes foolish.

只有自我让你们做所有这些荒谬和愚蠢的事情。一旦你在霎哈嘉瑜伽，你不知道如何控制你的笑声，有时人们是愚蠢的。非常愚蠢的。这就是它是什么，它的结局是愚蠢，绝对的愚蠢。我的意思是即使你想要写一本小说，在你周边你不能得到你可以得到的美丽的字符---当你听他们。你感到震惊，天啊，这是什么回事，也很尴尬。相当尴尬，藉着自我他们变得那么愚蠢，无法理解人类是如何思考，因为，藉着思考你得到你的自我，变成笨蛋。

There is no wisdom in a person whose ego is completely developed like that. If somebody has an ego like that there is no wisdom in him. You can see that he does not know what is wisdom. He behaves in such an immature way. He may be an elderly man, great grandfather of somebody but as soon as he opens his mouth you are shocked at him. You think from where this joker has come? The maturity is completely lacking. The other day somebody told me that, “Mother how is it our parents are so stupid and we are searching God? And the elderly people are so foolish and we are searching God?” And then I said, “No, maybe because of war the parents are disturbed, you see”.

一个自我完全发展的人没有智慧。如果有人有那样的一个自我，他那里没有智慧。你可以看到，他不知道什么是智慧。他以这样一种不成熟的方式行为。他可能是一位老人，某人的曾祖父了，但只要他一开口，你被他震惊。你觉得哪里冒出这个小丑？成熟是完全的缺乏。

有一天，有人告诉我说，“母亲，我们的父母怎么这么愚蠢，说‘我们正在寻找上帝’？老一代的人是如此愚蠢吗，我们正在寻找上帝？”然后我说：“不，也许是因为战争，父母们感到不安，···。”

Most of the parents were disturbed during war and they said, Majority of them are like this. And the younger people are searching God and much wiser and we don’t know how to compromise with them because they are not searching God. Why is it they are not searching God and we are searching God? And if there are some searching, they are very few.” Now I said this may be due to war but somebody said, “Then what about America? You see, in America the people didn’t face war so much, the stupidity that they have is sometimes surprising.”

战争期间，大多数父母们都心神不安，他们说过，他们中多数都是这样。而这些年轻人正在寻找上帝，更聪明，我们不知道如何与他们达成妥协，因为他们没有在寻找上帝。

为什么他们不寻找上帝，而我们正在寻找上帝？假如有一些在寻找，他们是很少数的。”

现在我说，这可能是由于战争，但有人说，“那美国呢？你看，在美国，人民没有面对战争这么多，他们有的愚蠢有时是惊人的。”

That is the same thing as I said, is the development of ego in a human being. Now ego is the thing that makes you think about everything. For example, now we have to, say go from here to Birmingham, all right. So we think now how will I go? Simple way is that I’ll take a train or I’ll take a car and go away. If there’s no reservation needed I will just jump into the train or going by the car. If the car is available I’ll go by car or by train finished. What is there to think about? But no, then we must plan it out, “I’m programmed now I have to go”. You go to the station and find the train is not there because there was some accident so the train is not moving. So you are absolutely upset because you think that the train has gone now what to do. In that upsetting you do not even remember that you have a car and you have to go by the car. Now that whole things upsets you because you had plans to go by train and you had planned everything, now you cannot reach there and what will happen? Now you are sitting here and worrying about it.

同样的，如我所说，是一个人类里面的自我的发展。现在自我是让你思考一切的东西。比如，现在我们必须，比如说，从这里到伯明翰，好吧。因此，我们现在想我该如何去？简单的方法是，我会坐火车，或者我就坐汽车去。如果不需要预定，我就会跳入火车或汽车去。如果汽车是可用的，我会坐汽车去，或者坐火车就完事了。有什么考虑？但是不那样，接着我们必须计划出来。“按预定现在我必须出发。”你到了车站，发现火车不在，因为有一些意外，所以火车不能动。于是，你绝对被扰乱了，因为你想现在火车已经不能坐了，现在怎么办。在那种扰乱里你甚至不记得你有汽车，你必须去坐汽车。现在，整个事情扰乱你了，因为你计划了去坐火车，你计划过一切，现在你无法到达那里，什么会发生？现在你坐在这里，担心那。

As a person who is spontaneous what will you do? All right depends on, I may go by train or by car whatever I feel like at that time. He is sitting tight. So he goes to the train, sees if the train is there. If it is, nicely there’s a space available he gets into it. If the train is not available, all right, he comes home takes his car and goes away. So now you have informed the people that you must meet at such and such a place. That’s also is there you see. So those people are running up down there and they will be there at the station. Now what’s the matter? Even if they’re at the station you can meet them at the station. You go by train and you can meet them. What is there to be that much upset about it? You see you can always contact them. But the way we get upset we have spoiled the complete program of going to Birmingham, which is a very beautiful program that we have got. We have to meet new people, we have to meet many people, we have to enjoy ourselves. That’s all finished because we had planned something and it did not work out, we are finished.

作为一个自然而然的人，你会做什么？好吧，取决于，我可以坐火车或汽车，那个时刻无论我感觉是什么。他静观事态变化。于是他去了火车站，看到如果火车在。如果是，很好有一个可用空间，他坐进去了。如果火车不可用，没关系，他回家开着他的车，也走了。于是，现在你已通知了人们，你们必须在这样或那样的地方碰面。这也是在那里你看到的。因此，那些在那里跑上跑下的人们，他们将留在车站里。现在有什么问题？假如他们在车站你可以在车站遇到他们。你去坐火车，你可以遇到他们。

有什么要被那如此扰乱呢？你看，你可以随时接触到他们。

但是，我们被扰乱的方式，我们破坏了去伯明翰的整个节目，一个我们有的非常美丽的节目。我们必须遇到新的朋友，我们必须遇到很多人，我们必须享受自己。

一切都完了，因为我们已经计划了一些事情，而那不能照原计划执行，我们完了。

All these things make us a miserable person. And we are so miserable and so grudging and so boring that those who are next to you just get fed up with it and they say, “Now shut up. If you are not going to Birmingham, if you are not going don’t go. But don’t eat my head now”, is a common experience of many. If this Mr. Ego he’s so, he doesn’t want you to be happy. He doesn’t want you to be relaxed. He all the time gives you ideas and tells you, “Do this and do that and you must get it done and this is to be done. You had better inform that person, be meticulous about it,” and it will go to such details that anything fails you are finished because your nerves are already finished and shattered. Anything, even a drop of inconvenience comes into you or even a feather of disturbance is there, you are finished. And so everybody is rattling, “We have tensions. We have problems.” Why?··· What is the advantage of doing all these things? No advantage you know that. But then why do you do it? Because you have a big ego. It won’t allow you to rest. Whatever you may try it won’t.

所有这些事情使我们成为乖戾的人。

而我们是如此令人难受，如此勉强，如此讨厌，那些靠近你身边的人只是对那厌倦了，他们说，“现在闭嘴。如果你不打算去伯明翰，如果你不打算去就不去。但是，不要侵蚀我的脑子现在！”许多人的普遍经验。

如果这自我先生，它是如此，它不希望你快乐。

它不希望你放松。

它所有的时间给你想法，告诉你，“做这，做那，你必须完成那，这个必须要做。你最好告诉那个人，对此细致些。”它会去到如此的细节，任何事情失败，你完了，因为你的神经已经完了，被冲毁了。

某个，假如一滴麻烦钻进你，或者甚至一片滋扰的羽毛在那里，你完了。

所以每个人都剑拔弩张，“我们紧张。我们有问题。”

为什么？···什么是他们做所有这些事情的优势呢？没有任何优势，你知道那。

但是，你为什么做那？因为你有一个大的自我。

它不会允许你休息。

无论你想尝试什么它不愿意。
