在特瑞普，在世界的各个角落，许许多多的人们正带着无限的喜悦与热情为大师85岁生日做着准备。It is with a lot of joy and enthusiasm that many are actively preparing for Beloved Master’s 85thbirthday celebrations in Tiruppur and all over the world.

并不是每个人都可以亲自前去特瑞普参加这一盛会，但是所有人都会被它深深地触动。为大师的生日做好准备、并且在那个特殊的场合下沐浴祂降临人间的恩泽，从中获益，这是我们每个人的责任。Not all of us will be able to participate physically in the Tiruppur gathering, but all will be touched by this event. It is the responsibility of each to prepare for it in order to benefit truly from the blessings that will be showered on the world on this special occasion.

大师曾为这一盛会取名为“沐浴在爱中的磨砺”。而展现在前方的路就是完成这一主题的重要机遇。为此，我们已经在官网上面将几个相关的讲话做了高亮显示的标注，以供大家阅读。For this gathering Revered Master has given the theme - "Discipline in Love." The days that lie ahead offer an important opportunity to contemplate the theme. To this end, we have highlighted a few talks which are available on our web site. 

您还可以在官网上面找到“邀请函-请为自己做好准备”，该文件以幻灯片展示的形式，强调了为庆典做好准备的重要性，庆典期间所应保持的态度，以及庆典结束后我们应当预期的所得。An ‘Invitation to prepare ourselves’ is also available on our web site as a slide show. It highlights the importance of preparing for a bhandara, the attitude to maintain during the celebrations and what we may anticipate after the celebrations are over.

全心怀念上师  -- 庆典的真正意义

. 2006年7月24日 ..

Focused Remembrance of the Master

- the Real Purpose of Bhandaras (Celebrations)

July 24, 2006

亲爱的兄弟姐妹：

很高兴可以在这里与大家一起回忆巴布济 玛哈拉济师父给我们的一段箴言，他说：这些庆典的意义在于，将我们的身体、思维和心灵等所有的意识都聚集起来，全身心地投入，去怀念我们的师父—我们伟大的上师们。庆典并不是普通意义上的过节日，过节日只是其中一部分内容；也不是来享乐的，当然参加如此盛大而充满恩泽的庆典，理应发自内心地充满喜悦之情。简单地说，真正的意义在于我们应该把握这个良机，使自己的心灵修养得到进一步提高。大家在这里度过的每分每秒都应该沉浸在对伟大上师的全心怀念之中。

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am happy to remind you all about a Message that Babuji Maharaj has given us, which has been printed in Whispers. He says these celebrations are meant to focus our total attention – body, mind and soul – on the remembrance of the Master – our great Masters. They are not meant as a festival, even though there is an element of celebration. They are not meant for enjoyment, but there is the permission to enjoy the inner state that should be created on such occasions, such wonderful, spirituality, grace-filled occasions. Which in short means that we must use these occasions for spiritual upliftment, each one for himself or herself, being in total remembrance of the great Master, for whatever time we have to spend here together.

如果举行庆典是为了其他目的，而不是为了以上所述的意义，那我们就是在浪费时间，在无聊的事情中让时间白白流失。我也是很喜欢吃萨莫萨（samosa,印度的一种传统食物）的！但是很多人为了吃到萨莫萨而拥挤在餐厅里，全然不顾演讲已经开始了，我们不应该这么做。我已经听说了餐厅里拥挤混乱的情形。当然这是对静修会提供的可口食物的肯定，但你的态度绝对不值得赞赏。当你打坐冥想的时候，应该全神贯注；当你听演讲或美妙音乐的时候，也应该全神贯注—我们的心灵应该随之翩翩起舞，而不是身体。一首“芭扬”（bhajan, 印度的一种颂歌）可以唤起我们内心的爱和信仰，甚至当我们凝神静坐时就能够使恩泽的光辉降临于我们。

Diversion from this objective, this goal, this aim, will only mean that we are wasting our resources of time, frittering it away, flippantly, in unwanted pursuits. Even I like samosa! But we should not crowd the canteen, even while lectures are going on, because we are afraid that the samosa will be over. I am told there is a great rush on our canteen. That is certainly a tribute to the quality of the food that the Mission offers. But it is certainly not a tribute to your attention, because during the course of your meditation, and the rapt attention that is necessary here, when you are listening to lectures, listening to the wonderful music that our brother and sisters have provided - our souls should dance, not our bodies. A bhajan [devotional song] is meant to evoke within us certain feelings of love, devotion, and have the ability to bring down the grace on us, even as we sit in rapt attention.

我真的希望这些话，这些话的含义可以使你们将自己所有的热情都投入到这些静修会庆典的真正意义中去。用发自内心的喜乐和严肃真诚的态度来营造这些活动、这些邦达拉斯（ bhandaras, 指各种静修会的聚会活动）的气氛。在另外一篇文章中，巴布济 玛哈拉济师父说道：没有喜乐，就没有灵修。但是喜乐无需大张旗鼓地表现出来，它应该是在心里的— 内心的喜乐，心灵的欢腾—这将引领我们通向未知、未见的“光明世界”，哪怕是很短的瞬间。

I do hope that the words, the meaning of these words, will enthuse you all to treat these celebrations, these occasions, these bhandaras [spiritual gatherings] with a certain solemnity of atmosphere – even though there must be a pervasive undercurrent of joy and happiness. In another Message, Babuji Maharaj says when there is no joy, there is no spirituality. But joy must not be manifest; it must be in the heart – inner joy, inner bubbling of the spirit – which must transport us into an unknown, unseen world which we call the Brighter World, even though it may be only temporary.

因此，亲爱的兄弟姐妹们，我非常迫切地希望你们全身心地投入进来，而非仅仅用大脑和感官。全身心地专注于我们伟大的上师，他将引导我们进入另一片绿洲，虽然它无法用语言来描述，但是只要怀着一颗真诚的心，相信在每一次冥想时我们都可以感觉到那片绿洲。很多修习者都会问同样的问题：“您在冥想时有怎样的感觉？”我说：“其实，只有那些什么感受都没有的人才会问这样问题。”对于那些经过几年的修习，仍未有任何感受的人来说，的确不可能获知修习的感受。冥想的感觉是完全因人而异！接纳自然之道所给予的一切；顺着自然之道所指引的方向；并跟从师父的引导。只要做到这三点，灵修的目标必将在我们的生命中实现。

So, dear brothers and sisters, I urge you to use these occasions not merely wisely, not merely attentively – but to bring your entire soul, your body, your mind - everything together into one focus on the great Master who is guiding us out of this existence, into another existence, which we cannot describe, but which we can feel in every sitting in meditation, if you are bent on finding it. I have numerous abhyasis who ask questions: “What do you feel?” “Well”, I said, “That question can be asked only by somebody who has felt nothing.” And for one who has felt nothing over the years, it’s impossible to describe what you can feel, and what you cannot feel. It depends on you! Sahaj Marg offers, you take; Sahaj Marg guides, you move towards the destination; the guru leads, you follow. If these three things are there, the Goal will surely be reached in this lifetime.

愿我的师父祝福你们。谢谢。

May my Master bless you all with it. Thank you.
