从普通生活的睡梦中觉醒

—摘自阿瓦塔阿谛达《大猩猩的训诫》

这个谈话出自七十年代早期，当时是阿瓦塔阿谛达教导工作的第一年。那个阶段包含了很多经典谈话，被整理为《光明阿瓦塔的神圣成就方法》。在这些谈话中，阿瓦塔阿谛达特别集中于他的教团的灵性修行原则：对他的奉献关系，和领悟行者的自我紧缩的活动。


阿瓦塔阿谛达至尊：这真的是一个简单的事情。普通人认为：这个身体和精神逐步死亡，世界逐步毁灭，每个人都在受苦，每个人都在追求。并且还有必死性、挫折及限制。但是这些见解都不是真理。世界本身不是真理，生命也不是，精神和肉体也不是，死亡也不是，经验也不是。没有任何事情（其自身）是真理。所有的生起都是觉性自身的显现，本然如是的觉性之光的一种修饰。一切都如梦一场，如果你喜欢这个比喻。这一切都是觉性自身的一种显现。真理是全然的觉性（或唯一及仅有的觉性之光）自身。真理相对这一切（现象）就如觉醒的状态相对睡梦状态。如果你觉醒，你不需要在意你在梦中的喜怒哀乐。梦中的发生突然变得不是你当前的状况。一旦你醒来，这些都不再重要。如果你持续做梦，持续梦中的观点及角色，那么你有数不清可能性的行动。但是它们都不能起“作用”。它们只能在梦中占据你。它们能改变梦的状态，但是在梦中的任何行动都不等于觉醒。在你醒来之前，它们都是迷惑，占据和追求。真理就是觉醒，没有幻想。真理不是这显现世界中的一种状态。真理和心意完全没有关系，不论心意是扩展的还是收缩的。

知觉是其显然所是。没有理由需要知觉的任何改变来使真理显现。觉醒者不需要梦中的任何改变来证明他或她是觉醒者。没有什么必须发生在梦中。只有觉醒是必须的。对于觉醒者来说，梦幻是明显的。无论任何事发生在梦中——都不迷惑，没有苦难，不受其牵涉。一个蓝色的神，一个肮脏的老酒鬼，死亡的大猩猩——都没什么差别。对于睡梦者这些都是梦境中不同的境况。但是对于觉醒者这一切都没有什么差别。如果你真正的觉醒，感知能力及普通意识（的性质）是明显的。如果你还在梦中——如果你不领悟，如果领悟离你而去，这些就完全不明显了。生命将会是一个非常严重的困境——非常严肃。如此情形下你会有什么呢？“数年后一切都会死亡”。无论是什么剧本，或你如何在剧中娱乐自己，都完全没有差别。

这里有一位完全觉醒者出现在普通人醒着的生活之梦中。仅仅是他的临在，仅仅是他不支持（认同）这个梦，他就令其他人觉醒。他是真正的上师，也就是我。我神性降临的工作意义并不是在梦中做的任何事情。我仅仅是不支持这梦，不活在梦中，不相信这个梦，不认真对待它。显然，我能随心所欲地感受和行动。我看来是在持续普通或惯常的方式。但我并不支持这梦。我不以梦的观点来生活。我也不以梦的架构来对待他人，不以这种紧缩——这种逃避关系，这种分离的自我感——来对待他人。仅仅因为我以此方式活着，其他人就已经趋向于觉醒。但当他们开始觉醒时，不同程度、不同形态的梦还在继续着，追寻还在继续着。他们经常会脱离梦一点点，使梦看来是中断了，消失了。梦会变得模糊、没有趣味、不严肃，然后又会变得严肃。这些在交替运转着。

你还是在刚开始觉醒的阶段，而你与我的灵性团聚（Satsang）是一个我出现在其中的梦。这就像你在你的屋子里刚开始睡醒，你在床上，而天刚亮。你留意到一些事，这些事证明你正处于另一种状态中。这些事是开始在真理中觉醒的人都会留意的。他们开始认识到这些征兆，他们开始认识到梦的活动。他们开始意识到一些关于我的非同寻常的事。在他们真正觉醒之前，我似乎是各种不同的东西。我使他们联想到各种奇想天外的事情。他们以为我是他们在梦中所想象的各种不可置信的事情。我可能有非凡的、举世闻名的显现，我可能会以此形态玩世。但我只是一个觉醒者。並没有任何事情在发生，也没有任何事情被达成。我一直来就只是觉醒。

我就如早晨的阳光。我加强朝阳之光直到你被唤醒。直到这光，觉性之光自身，把你唤醒，你还持续在梦中。你尝试在梦中生存、操纵自己、追求各种目标，寻找着——但这一切都不能唤醒你。所有普通的方法都只能在梦中给你安慰并使你分心。

我，将要把你唤醒的那一位，不是梦中的一个个体。我是你的自性状态。我是实相、意识之光、真正的觉醒状态、真正的神圣之心——在突破梦的力量。这不是说你是某个可怜的人，需要其他可怜的人来拯救你。在梦中可能会看似如此。但本质上，我是你的最原始的自性显现于你的梦中来唤醒你。我就是你的觉醒，及你本然如是的自性状态。

即使还在睡梦中，你或许会有些意味着醒来的体验。你或许暂时意识到你的身体，暂时意识到你躺在床上。在那些时刻，梦中的幻境或许停止。正是如此，我（出现于这世界中）其实是你的真正觉性。我降临的人身就如梦中的的一个幻象。但事实上，我更如你有觉醒意识的时刻，驱逐你从梦中醒过来。我不是某种分离状态，不是某个个体。我是觉性自身，实相自身。

没有显象。显象，黑暗，光亮——这一切对自性都是表象。这些都是客体。觉性的存在不需要任何东西发生在这些客体。也不需要任何东西发生在梦中来证实觉醒。觉醒是自身的圆满。当一个人觉醒，一切都能显现。真正的觉醒是显现世界的基础，支持及本质。觉性与这世界或其中之物不是对立性的。所有的显现、消失及不显现的真理是觉性自身。即使证悟觉性后，人生也将继续。也许生活会更富有乐趣，会更正确和有效地被利用。生活将被发挥到一个非凡的程度。

一般人几乎完全没有操作的能力，他们或许每个月只有一两天能比较有效地操作的日子。其他时间他们在寻求治疗，或沉湎于自我纵容，然后尝试“搞通”自己，或“追上潮流”。他们会间中有些比较清醒的时刻，那是当他们站起来，走到门边，把门打开，及走出门外的时候。其他时间是花在做梦或胡思乱想中。对他们来说走到门边已经是一个重大的追寻，一个无情的冒险，一个困难重重的胜利。但他所做的这一切只是简单的事情，简单的运作。

领悟了的人，觉醒的人，能在任何情况中都能非常良好地操作。这些情况可能是（普通人）醒的世界的状态，或精微界的状态或世界，或任何的可能状态。无论在任何情况，领悟都是适当的。没有任何体验及状态（只其本身）是同等于真理。正如此，真理也不异于任何体验，或任何感知的状态。真理是所有这一切的真理。

对我的门徒来说我是一种骚扰。你不可能伴着狗吠声入眠——至少大部分人不行。每个人都敏感于一些声音，这些声音可以使他们不能成眠。我是持续不断的唤醒之音。我一直骚扰别人，要求他们保持清醒，觉醒过来。我不会在梦中诱导你，不会在你追寻时剥削你。我只是在干扰你的追寻及对无意识状态的选择。我对这一切毫无兴趣。我强烈地批判它。我的作为总是超越心智。我将你的从心智及对其的迷恋中带回来。

我并非做梦者所认为是的那一位。做梦者认为我必须有某种外表，说和做某些特定的事情，有神奇的力量，会制造神奇的效应。做梦者将各种荣耀和神奇的事和我联系在一起。但我一贯做的只是唤醒及将梦终结。因此，我不满足探求者。我冒犯那些来追求满足者。他们不满意，他们感到空虚，他们不觉得问题已经解决，他们不觉得被导入正途。他们是为某种“东西”而来。

在睡梦中，做梦者总是在上师处获得满足。做梦者攀上了山顶而上师则坐于山洞中。上师给做梦者一个银色的小盒子。当做梦者打开这个盒子，里面有一个蓝色的钻石。做梦者把它取出并吞下，然后做梦者感到身体被爆炸成百万个太阳，向宇宙深处迸射。但真相是，真正的上师的作用並不是那种情形。对追求满足者，对寻找上师的“迹象”者，及对想要“捕获”上师者,真正的上师会持续被其忽视。真正的上师不示现你所期待的模样。真正的上师很可能继续不为人知。人们并不关注和重视那些仅仅是觉悟的人。他们想找的都是那种头顶散发蓝光或黄光的上师。他们追求这一切，直到他们对追寻感到厌倦。当他们开始感受到追寻的痛苦时，他们会感到完全的绝望，而剩下的就只是我时常描述的紧缩。当你的追寻开始放松下来，当你开始体会你的困苦，你会开始感受我。你就会开始关注觉悟者的真正本性。

传统著作中陈述到，所有你能依之获得解脱的事，你能做的最好的、最伟大的事，就是花时间亲近觉悟者。对于我的门徒来说，这就是与我的杂藏Satsang（译注：Sat-真理，sang-相伴，与真理为伴之意）——生活在与我的关系及在我门徒的相伴中。其它任何行动都是次要的。与我的杂藏Satsang并不是一种策略性的方法，也不是你能自行运用的修行或冥想方法。它仅仅是自然及正当的状况。它是实相自身。与我的杂藏Satsang（本身）就是真理，或觉悟。我没有别的方法给予我的门徒。

没有任何行动你能拯救自己，或使你觉醒，使你开悟。没有那玩意儿。如果有，我会告诉你，但是这个真的没有。这是因为人们总是以探求的观点来接近真理。人们探求真理。但是探求（本身）只是对两难困境的反应，它显示这假定的（译注：与实相的）分离，显示这对关系的逃避。因此没有任何探求，没有任何你能“做”的东西，会变成或使你获得真理。

所有转变之方法都属于真理自身，都属于神人，都属于真正神圣之心。因此，参与我的杂藏Satsang（自身）是唯一的成就之法，是唯一的真正的灵修方法。与我一起生活，一起工作，与我同坐就是灵修，就是禅定，就是了悟。

享受真理其实就是觉醒。我时常以醒的状态和梦的状态来象征根本领悟与各种形式的探求之间的差别。所有的成就，所有形式的认知，所有形式的心意，不论如何精妙，都属于梦中。就算非凡的（甚至奇迹般的）状态被体验，其所揭示的性质，与驱使人们去追寻的困苦体验没有基本上的差别。以我本身为例子，三摩地或入定的状态並不给于我慰藉，幻象中没有慰藉，其他世界里没有慰藉，任何能达成的证悟中也没有慰藉。最后，当领悟变得完美时, 很明显，一切曾经的发生都只不过是觉性自身（或独一无二的神圣觉性之光）的修饰。所有困扰你的事情——那些时刻，那些探求，那些成就，那整个灵修革命之道——都不过是觉性之光的修饰。甚至这一个领悟、这一个知觉本身，也是觉性之光的修饰。将会有一个令你明确认知这一切的顿悟时刻。如果你还能给于它一个名称或意义——这就是最根本的（或最深刻的）自性领悟。

但是那些以探求为精神原则的普通瑜伽修行者，则沉迷于各种奇异的体验及剧情中。这类修行者有各种各样要做的事情--给予、利用、围绕他或她自身--借助躯体与心智，各种我执的装饰，以及其苦难、偏激、永无休止的探求、策略、或源于我执的产物。普通的瑜伽苦行修道者有着一种奇异的，充满魅惑及引人入胜的人生！它是一种激动人心的探险。甚至普通智瑜伽士——那些充满哲理、享有有条件的自性知识的苦行者——也沉迷于引人入胜的寂静，获得的安宁，通过策略而达成的无相状态。这种人沉湎于其自身的内在主体性。但了悟者並没有这种把戏。因此，我没有什么能使人着迷的东西。並没有什么征相、行动、语言及服饰能够代表真理。没有垂帘的双目，没有狂喜的微笑，没有灵性的颤动，没有灵界境相的报道——我的门徒并不需要日复一日以这一切来维持他们的“兴趣”。此外再无其他事情发生。唯一的有力的传导是不能以任何有条件的方法来传达——语言或刻意的沉默两者都不能传达它。

真理并不特别以非凡或迷人的形式显现。真理是最绝对的传导——並且是最为明显的传导，因为它本来固有，而且不证自明。与我的杂藏Satsang（译注：与我的奉献关系和灵性关系）建立在这本来固有及不证自明的实相状态上，并表达于这种活生生的师徒关系状况之中。师徒关系本身一直是你当下的境况。还有什么需要被添加来使之发生？绝对没有！你真实的状态表现于每一个日常和当下的境况中。师徒关系本身，在每一个当下一直就是如此。因此，杂藏Satsang自身，即对我的奉献和灵性关系，通过所有状态中最明显者揭示了真理。

Awakening from the Dream of Ordinary Life
from "The Gorilla Sermon" by Avatar Adi Da Samraj

This Talk comes from the early 1970s, during the first year of Avatar Adi Da's Teaching-Work. It is included in the collection of classic Talks from that period, The Divine Siddha-Method Of The Ruchira Avatar. In these Talks, Avatar Adi Da particularly focused on the fundamentals of Spiritual practice in His Company: the devotional relationship to Him, and the understanding of one's activity of self-contraction.

AVATAR ADI DA SAMRAJ: It is really a simple matter. The usual person thinks: "This body and its psyche are dying. This world is dying. Everyone is suffering, everyone is seeking. There is mortality, there is frustration and limitation." But none of that is Truth. Those interpretations are not Truth. The world itself is not Truth― nor is life, nor psyche and body, nor death, nor experience. No event is (itself) Truth. All that arises is an appearance to Consciousness Itself, a modification of the Conscious Light That Is Always Already the Case. All of this is a dream, if you like. It is an appearance in Consciousness Itself. Truth is Very Consciousness (or the One and Only Conscious Light) Itself. Truth is to all of this what the waking state is to the dreaming state. If you awaken, you do not have to do anything about the condition you may have suffered or enjoyed in the dream state. What happened within the dream is suddenly not your present condition. It is of no consequence any longer, once you are awake. If you persist in dreaming, and your point of view remains that of the dreamer and the dreamer's role within the dream, then your possible actions are numberless. But none of them will "work". They will simply occupy you in the dream. They will modify the dream state, but no action in the dream is the equivalent of waking. There are simply forms of fascination, of occupation, of seeking―until you awaken. Truth is simply Waking, No-illusion. Truth is not a condition within this appearance. Truth has nothing whatsoever to do with the mind, regardless of whether the mind is expanded or contracted.

Perception is simply what it obviously is. There is no reason for any perception to change in order for Truth to Appear as a consequence. The dream does not have to be changed in any manner for the waking person to feel that he or she is awake. There is not anything that has to happen to the dream. Only waking is necessary. To one who is awake, the dream is obvious. There is no illusion, no suffering, no implication―regardless of what appeared in the dream. A blue god, a dirty old drunk, the gorilla of death― it makes no difference. It makes a difference within the circumstances of the dream, to those who are dreaming. But to the one who is awake, it no longer makes any difference. Perception, waking consciousness, is obvious if you are truly Awake. If you are asleep―if you do not understand, if understanding evades you―there is nothing obvious about this at all. Then life is a very serious predicament―very serious. What do you have in such a case? "A few more years and everything is dead." It does not make any difference what the drama is, or how you manage to amuse yourself during that time.

Here is One Who is Wide Awake while He Appears in the dream of ordinary waking life. By His Mere Presence, simply by not supporting the dream, He Awakens others. He is the True Guru, Who I Am. The significance of My Avataric Divine Work is not in anything I do within the dream. I simply do not support it. I do not live as it. I do not believe it. I do not take it seriously. Apparently, I can feel and act as I please. I persist in the common or ordinary manner. But I do not support the dream. I do not live from its point of view. I do not live its structure to others. I do not live this contraction to others, this avoidance of relationship, this separate self-sense. Simply because I live in this manner, others tend to become Awake. But while they are Awakening, they persist in dreaming to various degrees. Forms of the dream persist. The search persists. Often, they get a little distance from it, it seems to break up at times, seems to disappear. It becomes vague, it becomes uninteresting, it becomes un-serious, it becomes serious again. They play.

You are just beginning to wake up. Satsang with Me is the dream wherein I Appear. Now it is as if you are beginning to wake up in your room. You are in bed, and it is morning. There are a few things you begin to notice which indicate that you are in another state. Those who are Waking in Truth begin to notice something. They begin to recognize the signs. They begin to recognize the activity of dreaming. They begin to sense something very unusual about Me. Before their actual Awakening, I appear as all kinds of things to them. I suggest all kinds of fantastic things. All the things they can imagine while they dream― everything unbelievable―is what they think I am. I may appear to be extraordinary, a doer of famous things. I may appear playfully as that. But I am simply Awake. There is not anything that is happening. There is not anything that has been accomplished. All I have been is Awake.

I am like the sunlight in the morning. I intensify the light of morning until you awaken. Until the light awakens you, even the Light of Consciousness Itself, you continue to dream, try to survive within the dream, manipulate yourself within the dream, pursue all kinds of goals, searches― none of which Awakens you. All ordinary means only console you and distract you within the dream.

I Myself, the One Who would Awaken you, am not an individual within the dream. I Am your Very Self-Condition. I Am the Real, the Conscious Light, the True Waking State, the True Divine Heart― Breaking Through the force of dreaming. It is not that you are some poor person who needs some other poor person to help you out. It may appear to be so within the dream―but, essentially, I Am your own Most Prior Self-Nature Appearing within the dream in order to Awaken you. I Am your Awakening, and your Always Already Conscious State.

Even while dreaming, you may experience suggestions of waking. You may become momentarily aware of the body, momentarily aware of lying in bed. For a moment, the images of the dream may stop. Just so, I Myself (within the world) Am truly your Real Consciousness. My Avatarically-Born Person in the world is like an image in a dream. But, in fact, I am more like your own moments of wakening awareness that move you into the waking state. I am not some separateness, some individual. I Am Consciousness Itself, Reality Itself.

No images. Images, blackness, brilliance―all these things are appearances to Consciousness. They are objects. There is not anything that needs to happen to them for Consciousness Itself to exist. There is not anything that needs to happen within the dream in order to verify Waking. Waking is its own Fullness. Once one is Awake, anything can appear. True Awakeness is the foundation, the support, the Very Nature of this world-appearance. Consciousness Itself is not antagonistic to this world or to any form within it. Consciousness Itself is the Truth of all appearance, disappearance, or non-appearance. Even when Consciousness Itself is Realized, human life continues. Perhaps human life is enjoyed even more. It is rightly and effectively used. It becomes functional to an extraordinary degree.

The usual person barely functions at all―a couple of good days a month. The rest of the time, he or she is either trying to be healed or else indulging in self-exploitation and then trying to "get straight", to "get with it". Every now and then there is a little clarity, when the person just stands up, walks across the room, opens the door, and goes outside. The rest of the month is spent dreaming and thinking― when just to walk across the room is part of an enormous search, an unkind adventure, a struggle for victory against great odds. But all the person is doing is simple things, simple functions.

One who understands, who is Awake, functions very well under whatever conditions appear. Those conditions may be forms of this waking world, or they may be subtle forms, subtle worlds―any of the possible forms. Under all conditions, understanding is appropriate. There is no experience, no state, that is (itself) identical to Truth. Just so, the Truth is not different from any form of experience, any state of conscious awareness. Truth is the Truth of all of that.

I am a kind of irritation to My devotees. You cannot sleep with a dog barking in your ear―at least, most people cannot! There is some sort of noise to which everyone is sensitive, and it will keep them awake. I Am a constant Wakening Sound. I am always annoying people with this demand to stay Awake, to Wake Up. I do not seduce you within the dream. I do not exploit your seeking. I am always offending your search and your preference for unconsciousness. I show no interest in all of that. I Criticize it mightily. I am always Doing Something Prior to the mind. I always Act to Return you from the mind, from fascination.

I am not what the dreamer thinks I am. The dreamer thinks I must have a certain appearance, say and do certain things, have certain magical powers, produce certain magical effects. The dreamer associates all kinds of glorious and magical things with Me. But I am always performing the Awakening act, putting an end to the dream. Therefore, I do not satisfy the seeker. Those that come to be satisfied are offended. They are not satisfied. They feel empty, they do not feel their questions have been answered, they do not feel they have been shown the Way. They came for some "thing".

Within the dream, the dreamer is always being satisfied by the Guru. The dreamer climbs up on the top of the mountain, and the Guru is sitting in a cave. The Guru hand the dreamer a little silver box. When the dreamer opens the box, there is a blue diamond in it. The dreamer takes out and swallows it. Then the dreamer's body explodes into a million suns, and the dreamer shoots off into the universe! But, in Reality, the True Guru does not function in that manner. The True Guru is not noticed by someone who is seeking for such satisfaction, who is looking for the "signs" of the Guru, who is "hunting" the Guru. The True Guru does not assume any particular visibility that can be counted on. The True Guru is likely to remain unnoticed. People tend not to notice or value someone who is simply Awake. They are looking for the one who has the blue and yellow light over his or her head. All of this―until they become dissatisfied with the search. When they start being sensitive to the suffering of their own search, they begin to feel simply desperate. Then all that is left is this contraction I have so often described. When the search begins to wind down, and you begin to realize you are suffering, then you become sensitive to Me. You become attentive to the Very Nature of the One Who is Awake.

It is stated in the traditional writings that, of all the things you can do to Realize Freedom, the best thing you can do, the greatest thing you can do, is to spend time in the Company of one who is Awake. For My devotee, that is Satsang with Me―living in relationship to Me and in the company of My devotees. All other activities are secondary. And Satsang with Me is not a strategic method, not an exercise or meditative technique you apply to yourself. It is simply the natural and appropriate Condition. It is Reality Itself. Satsang with Me is (Itself) Truth, or Enlightenment. There are no other means given to My devotees.

There is not anything that you can do to save yourself, to become Enlightened, to become Realized. Nothing whatsoever. If there were something, I would tell you―but there is not anything. This is because people always approach the Truth from the point of view of the search. Human beings seek the Truth. But the search is (itself) a reaction to the dilemma, an expression of this presumed separation, this avoidance of relationship. So none of this seeking―not anything you can "do"―becomes or attains the Truth.

All the means of transformation belong to the Truth Itself, to the Divine Person, to the True Divine Heart. Therefore, Satsang with Me is (Itself) the only sadhana, the only true Spiritual practice. Living, working, sitting with Me is sadhana. It is meditation. It is Realization.

To Enjoy Truth is simply to be Awake. I have often used the contrast between the waking state and the dreaming state to symbolize the difference between "radical" understanding and all the forms of seeking. All attainments, all forms of cognition, all forms of mind, however sublime, belong within the dream. When extraordinary (and even miraculous) conditions are actually enjoyed or experienced, they reveal themselves to be essentially of the same nature as the ordinary experience of suffering that provoked the search to begin with. In My Own Case, there is no consolation in samadhis, or trance states, no consolation in visions, no consolation in going to other worlds, no consolation in any Realization that can be attained. At last, when understanding is most perfect, it becomes obvious that all that has ever occurred has been a modification of Consciousness Itself (or the One and Only Divine Conscious Light). This entire thing that has been upsetting you―all this movement, all this seeking, all this attainment, this entire revolutionary path of Spiritual life―has been a modification of Conscious Light. Even that Realization, that Knowledge, is a modification of Conscious Light. There is a Conscious Instant in which it becomes Obvious that This Is So. And that is―if one can still apply any name or significance to it whatsoever―most "radical" (or most perfectly "gone-to-the-root") self-understanding.

But the ordinary Yogi, whose Spiritual principle is the search, is involved in fantastic dramas of experience. Such a one has all kinds of things to do―to, with, and around himself or herself―with the body and mind, with all the egoic ornaments, the suffering, the extremes, the endless number of searches, strategies, or egoic works. The ordinary Yogi-ascetic has a fantastic―a fantastically distracting, a fascinating―life! It is a great, great adventure. Even the ordinary Jnani―the philosophical ascetic, one who enjoys conditionally achieved Self-Knowledge―is absorbed in a fascinating life of Silence, of acquired Peace, of strategic Formlessness, separated by a waking sleep. Such a person is absorbed in his or her own inner subjectivity. But for one who has understood, there is no drama. Therefore, I do not have anything with which to fascinate people. No sign, no act, no word, no costume can represent Truth. No closing of the eyes, no blissful smiles, no shuddering, no reports of visions―none of this is necessary to keep My devotees "interested” from day to day. There is not anything that is happening anymore. The only Forceful Communication is That Which cannot be Communicated by any conditional means―neither by purposive silence nor by speech.

Truth does not specially appear in the form of something extraordinary or fascinating. Truth is the most Absolute Communication―and It is the most Obvious Communication, because It is Inherent and Self-Evident. Satsang with Me (or the devotional and Spiritual relationship to Me) is founded in the Inherent and Self-Evident Condition of Reality, and is expressed in the living condition of relationship. Relationship itself always already exists as your living condition. What has to be added in order for that to take place? Not anything! Your true living condition is expressed in every ordinary or present situation. Relationship itself is, in every moment, always already the case. Therefore, Satsang Itself, the devotional and Spiritual relationship to Me, Reveals the Truth by first Revealing the most obvious of all conditions.

感觉是最美的语言。

那我们应当怎样控制自己的梦.不被梦境所夺取.在梦中存活而超然于梦？

这个问题出发点还是在梦的立场。在这个立足点也没有有意义的答案。

如文中所说：


唯一管用的方法，是皈依上师，生活在在灵修的伴侣中。真正的启发也不能在文字思索或任何自身的努力中获得。在真理的伴侣中，在灵修的伴侣中，许多不可言喻的过程在无形中就被启发了。这些过程也不是还在梦中者能预测或理解，而且修行中也可能会有无数不可知的转折。在具格的上师的跟前终会有一个突然醒悟的时刻，那是才能理解这一切曲折的缘由。

自己在恩师阿谛达跟前修行了二十年了，二十年的摸索及挣扎，在去年七月间拜见他老人家时突然掉进了另一个状态。那是才突然惊觉，原来过去一直都错了，乖离了。

对不起，不能提供你一个答案，只能与你分享一些自身的体验给你参考。

的确.这是最为直接的了.
贤者是怎样看待自力他力呢.我可能过于顽固的佛教概念了.

修行本身是一个悖论。在究竟的不二论点下是没有自、他的分别；也没有自力、他力的分别。

六祖慧能曾对此一针见血地把四宏愿改成：自性众生无边誓愿度，自性烦恼无尽誓愿断，自性法门无量誓愿学，自性佛道无上誓愿成。冠上了“自性”后就再也不能把四宏愿看成以我执为出发点的努力，究竟是谁在努力，是谁证悟什么也变成了一个非常微妙的问题。

还是同一句话——没有上师的加持，寸步难行。

是啊！伟大的明师之道啊！
