普仁羅華/馬荷羅基語錄 Quotes of Prem Rawat/Maharaji

1.

Most people think, “I know what it means to be alive.”

But your life is associated with your job, the things that happen around you.

That is not your life. These things exist because I do (I exist), but they are not my existence.

They will change; they may appear and disappear, but I will be.

At the hub is your life, your understanding, your steps, your journey, your elation,

and the process of filling your heart with utter and total contentment.


大部份的人認為：「我知道活著的意義何在。」

但是你的生命與你的工作以及周遭的事情聯結在一起。

那不是你的生命。

這些事情存在，是因為我存在，但它們並非我的存在。

它們會改變；它們會出現會消失，但我仍然存在。

你的中心是你的生命、你的明白、你的步伐、你的旅程、你的興高采烈和以完完全全的滿足填滿你內心的過程。


2.

The good news is that what you are looking for, you already have.

This quest is not for the joy found on the outside. It is for the joy that is found on the inside.

This quest is not for the peace on the outside, but for the peace that lies within.

好消息是，你所尋找的，你已經擁有了。

這份追求不是要從外在找到的喜悅，而是要從內在找到的喜悅。

這份探索不是渴求外在的和平，而是渴求處於內在的和平。

3.

In this existence, we forget what the primary purpose is.

What is the most important thing to you as a human being?

To welcome that and not find it mysterious because it isn’t mysterious,

not to find it routine because it is not routine.

To acknowledge that the life I have is an exquisite gift,

and I need to make the most of it.


在這份存在中，我們忘了初衷是什麼。

身為一個人，什麼事情對你是最重要的？

去歡迎那件事，而不覺得它神秘，因為它並不神秘，

不覺得它慣常，因為它並不慣常。

去認同我擁有的生命是絕妙無比的禮物，

而我需要充份地享用它。

4.

When you look at the sun, when you look at the moon,

understand that they are there,

but the enjoyment is within you. The beauty is in you.

The moon is just a catalyst. Do you recognize that?

Or do you become enamored by what you see?

I'm not here to say, 'Well, I'm the holy one.' I'm not.

I don't have to be. I just know where the water is. That's all.

當你望著太陽、當你望著月亮，

明白它們在那裡，但這份享受卻在你內在。

這份美就在你內在。

月亮只是美的催化劑，你可領會到這一點？

或你變得傾心於你所看見的東西？

我不是在此說：「我是個聖人。」我不是的，

我不必是個聖人，我只是知道水在哪裡，就只是這樣。

5.

For a lamp to light other lamps, that lamp has to be lit.

For a candle to light other candles, that candle has to be lit.

Peace is a noble objective; helping mankind is noble.

But it has to begin with a lit lamp.

First and foremost, peace has to be recognized in a person’s own self.

一盞油燈要去燃點其他油燈，它本身必須已燃點。

一支蠟燭要去燃點其他蠟燭，它本身必須已燃點。

和平是個高尚的目標；幫助人類是高尚的。

但必須由一盞已燃點的油燈開始。

於是，和平必須先由個人的自我來認同。
