About Love (愛について)

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say,
"God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love,
if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.

Kahlil Gibran: "Love" from The Prophet

"Love is Truth and Truth is Love"

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Limitation of Thought （「考え」の限界)

Let us think for a moment. And we can see that thought is limited.
How big is the Universe? Who has created it? How small are atoms?
And Who has the answer? How can we understand Him who is managing
us all? Can a drop understand the Ocean?
Our conciousness is a bottomless sea. When the thoughts cease is the beginning of the answers. Our thoughts are like the wind which causes ripples on the surface of the sea. Only when the thoughts dry up can we, in Silence, recognize our own depth, just as the sea exposes its real dept when the wind subsides.


ちょっとだけ「考え」しましょう.　そうしたら「考え」には限界があると言う事は見えるでしょう. 　全宇宙はどれくらい大きいのだろうか？　誰が作ったのだろうか？　原子ってどれくらい小さいのだろうか ？　そして, 誰が答えを持っているのだろうか? 　どうやって我々の全てを管理する「者」を理解できるのだろうか?　一滴は海を理解できるのだろうか?
我々の「意識」は底の無い海です. 「考え」が消える時が答えの始まりである. 我々の「考え」は海のさざ波を起こす風のように過ぎない. 「考え」が蒸発してからの時だけ我々が,　「静か」の中に, 　自分自身の深さを認識できるのは. 風が去った時に海が本当の深さを見せるのよう.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Humility

“The basic seeking power is humility… If you think you know
everything, you cannot humble down … and you cannot seek. Even if you
seek, you don’t want to follow anybody else’s path …you’ll do whatever
you want to do.”

“One thing is very important in your humility … you should be a
humble person … not think that you are something special … or some sort
of a self-important person… once you think you are important, then you
are not part and parcel of the whole… If you start thinking like that,
anywhere in your journey of Sahaja Yoga, then I must say that you are
not in the Sahaja Vasta, the Sahaja State.”

“Those who are humble can only become friendly with each other,
can share their problems with each other. So humility can only help you
to articulate, to have rapport with your friends. But humility should
not be sympathetic - it is a detached quality that does not get
attached to any person.”

“Only a person who is not guilty will be really humble, because
guilty people are aggressive … are sarcastic… A humble person is a free
person, free to be humble, to be kindly, to be gentle, to be compassionate
- that sort of Sahaja Yogis you have to be. When people
meet you they will be impressed. Humility doesn’t have any
subservience, and is very different to compassion. Humility is a very
human quality, is a special quality only the bhaktas have. It is such a
beautiful quality of taking the showers of bliss, and a person who
cannot take, is so lonely. Such a person cannot get companionship with anyone.”

SHRI MATAJI

Peace（平和）

If there is to be peace in the world,
there must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
there must be peace between the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
there must be peace between the neighbors.
If there is to be peace between the neighbors,
there must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
there must be peace in the hearts.

全世界は平和でありたいのなら, 国々間は平和でなければならず.
国々間は平和でありたいのなら, 町と町間は平和でなければならず.
町と町間は平和でありたいのなら, 家と家間は平和でなければならず.
家と家間は平和でありたいのなら, 家の中は平和でなければならず.
家の中は平和でありたいのなら, 心の中は平和でなければならず.
