生命是渺小的!分享给大家一些新的认知~~
问:亲爱的古儒吉,要如何才能忘掉那些已经不再在我们生命中的人?
古儒吉:扩展你对你自己、对生命和对这宇宙的视野。这宇宙已经存在至少有190亿年了,而它是十亿银河系之一。如果你观察宇宙,太阳系就只是一个小点。
有几百亿的银河系,其中之一便是我们的银河。所以银河是非常渺小的,而在那之中,太阳系不过是一小点,而在那一小点内是我们的地球,而在地球内才有你的存在!你必须拿放大镜去看,当你看到时,你已经离开人世了!(在这儿是指,宇宙的浩瀚对比于我们的存在)。
什么是你的生命?在这多层面的宇宙下,你的星球是那么微小,而你就更加地微小。
另一个因素是时间。在数百亿年间,有数百亿人曾经到过这地球。目前地球有七十亿人口,每天有许多生命诞生和有许多逝去。那你的生命又是什么?就像在一眨眼,你已经逝去了!当你从这比较广大的角度去看你的生命,你会明白它不算是什么!
你在这个叫地球的星球活了80年。其中你花了40年睡觉,花了10年在洗手间,花了10年吃东西, 花了15年工作。而你人生中清醒的时间是那么地少。
这个「我、 我、 我」是甚么?它根本不算什么!想想看,你便会明白生命是渺小的。
每天有无数的想法,在你脑中来来去去。你抓住某些想法。你无法抓住所有的想法。如果你抓着所有的想法,那你会进精神病院的!
当你从较广大的角度去看生命,所有的忧虑都会消失,而新的层面便会出现。
现在当你进入小宇宙,它甚至更刺激。脑内有数百亿的细胞,每天有许多细胞在诞生也有许多细胞死亡。在你的胃里有 50,000多种细菌。在你的额头的每条皱纹就有三个不同的螨类部落。它们有各自的部落;不会越界。
在印度,人们会用香灰在额上画三条线,我以前常想为何他们要如此做,但是现在科学家说在那三条线内各有不同的螨类部落,而它们都十分不同的。
同理,在鼻尖有很多种的细菌!科学家仍然为此感到困惑!在鼻尖可以探测的数据比我们的DNA还要多。科学家仍然无法理解鼻尖可以提供多少资料。当你越深入小宇宙就发现越多!这令人费解!
拿原子为例,在原子内的空间就好比银河系之间的空间。一个原子的99.99%是空间!我们体内的细胞也是一样。我们体内的细胞只是空洞的空间而已。
不论你采取科学或是灵修的路径,你都会到达同一点。两者说的都是相同的事情,它全都是空间。这是十分有趣的。
最近在美国医学期刊 (American Medical Journal) 有篇文章报导说,如果一个人规律地连续做 8 周的静心,脑部的结构会改变,而且灰质增加。静心有许多的好处。
光是研究基因就够引人入胜 !你知道在一个人类的基因里面,你可以找到其他所有的基因。其他每一种动物的基因也出现在人类的基因里面!你可以利用你体内的一个原子制造出一只大象。人类的身体那么完整,你可以从它制造出所有其他的基因。这是多么的引人入胜。
当有如此神奇的事情存在时,还有什么要担忧的?我甚至都忘了你的问题!
Q:Dear Gurudev, how to let go of people who are no more in our life?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Expand your vision about yourself, about life and about this universe. This universe has been there for at least 19 billion years, and it is part of a billion of galaxies. If you observe the cosmos, the solar system is like a dot.
There are billions of galaxies and one among them is our Milky Way. So the Mily Way is very small, and in that, the solar system is a dot, and in that there is our planet Earth, and in that there is you! You have to take a lens to see and by the time you see, you're already gone! (here meaning, the magnanimity of the universe in comparison with our existence).
What is your life? In this multi-verse, your planet is insignificant and you are even more insignificant.
Another factor is time. In so many billions of years, billions of people have walked this planet. There are seven billion people on this planet today, and many are being born every day and many are dying. Then what is your life? It's like a blink of the eye, and you're already gone! When you see your life from this bigger context, you realize that it is nothing!
80 years you live on this planet called Earth. Out of that, 40 years you spend sleeping, 10 years you spend in the bathroom, 10 years you spend in eating, 15 years you spend in working. The waking period in your life is so small.
What is this 'Me, me me?' It is nothing! Think and you will realize that life is insignificant.
Everyday billions of thoughts come into your brain and then they go. You hold on to some thoughts. You can't hold on to all the thoughts. If you hold on to all the thoughts you will be in the mental hospital!
When you see life from a bigger context all the worries disappear and a new dimension opens up.
Now when you go into the microcosm, it is even more exciting. There are billions of cells in the brain and many are being born every day and many are dying. There are 50,000 types of bacteria in your stomach. There are 3 different colonies of mites that live on each line on your forehead. They have their colonies; they don't cross their lines.
In India, people would put three lines of ash across their forehead, I used to wonder why, but now scientists say that those three lines have colonies of mites and they all are very different.
Similarly, on the tip of the nose there are so many types of bacteria! Scientists are still baffled! The information got from the tip of the nose is even more than what they can get from the DNA. Scientists still haven't understood how much information the tip of the nose can provide. When you go deeper and deeper into the microcosm there is so much! It is baffling!
You take one atom, the space there is like that between the galaxies. An atom is 99.99% empty space! The same is the case of the cells in our body. The cells in our body are just empty space.
Whether you take the route of science or that of spirituality, you will reach the same point. Both say the same thing, that it is all space. It is very interesting.
Recently there was an article published by the American Medical Journey which said that if a person meditates regularly for 8 weeks, the structure of the brain changes and the grey matter increases. So many benefits come out of meditation.
Just learning about genes is fascinating! Do you know that in one human gene you can find all other genes.Every other animal is present in one human gene! You can create an elephant using one atom from your body. The human body is so complete that from it you can create every other gene. This is all so fascinating.
When such things are there, what is there to worry? I even forgot your question!
