色彩－者若威香卡
Holi by Sri Sri Ravishankar -
色彩是一祝色彩的日，整世界是如此多彩多姿。
很自然地，我的感和情不同的色有：怒色有、嫉妒色有，色活力和幸福有、粉色有、浩瀚色有、白色和平有，牲番花色（橘色）、紫和知有。
每人是一不化地色彩的泉。往世皆是彩色插和故事，其中有一是有霍利Holi的故事。有位阿修王叫喜拉那拉 卡修帕 Hiranyakashyap他希望大家崇拜他。
但他的子普拉雷Prahlad是神-那拉那Narayana的虔信者，而那拉那Narayana是王的死。怒狂暴的王，要他的妹妹魔霍利卡Holika，除掉普拉雷Prahlad。魔霍利卡有能力抗火，她坐在燃的柴堆普拉雷Prahlad放在她的膝上。果，魔霍利卡Holika被死，普拉雷Prahlad安然恙地出。
喜拉那拉 卡修帕 Hiranyakashyap象徵著一人是毛。 普拉雷Prahlad罪、信心和至福。精神法限於物。喜拉那拉 卡修帕 Hiranyakashyap希望的喜都是自物世界。它不生。
魂法永被限在物。最都自然地走向神.那拉那Narayana，一更高的本我。
魔霍利卡象徵著去的束想要著掉普拉雷Prahlad的清白。但普拉雷Prahlad，深深植根於那拉那Narayana的虔之Bhakti，可以掉去的印象（sanskaras）。
一深於虔之Bhakti的人，喜如泉，出多色彩，生命成一祝。掉去，一新的始作好。
你的情像火一般燃著你。但是，情是如泉的色彩，它你的生活增添魅力。
在知的情下，情是很人的事情；在知中，同的情增添色彩。
有一是有婆神Shiva在三摩地心中，而他的太太帕瓦蒂Parvati,在苦修的期。卡瓦神Kamadeva是之主，了促位神性的合，被婆神Shiva成灰。以致婆神不得不三摩地心中出帕瓦蒂Parvati合。`帕瓦Parva'是，`帕瓦蒂Parvati'意味著'出生於-祝！
於三摩地，合祝望的存在是必要的。因此，望(卡Kama)被呼。不，了祝，你需要超越望。所以婆神Shiva第三眼，了望(卡)。心中被，祝生，而生活得多彩多姿。
如Holi色彩一，生命是富多彩的，不枯燥。每色可以被清楚地看到，它是富多彩的。所有的色都混在一起，你最只有黑色。生活也是如此，我在生活中扮演不同的角色，每角色和情感需要得到明的界定。情混便生。你是一父，你必扮演父的一部分。在公室，你不能成一父。你生活中的角色混合在一起，你便始犯。你在生活中扮演的角色是什，自己充分的扮演角色。在多化中的和性，使生活充活力、喜和更加富多彩。
你生活中所的喜是源你自本我的深 - 你放下所著的一切，在空安定於核心，冥想心。冥想心不是一行，它是作的！在冥想中的休息是比最深的睡眠要更深，因在心中，你超越了所有的望（），心的使大比的冷，就像在保或整修我整的身心。
只有，我才能理解存在的更高，而能看到整世界皆是精神心或意。祝是心的本，而默中出的祝是真的。如果神祝合，它成完整的、的，它不只是身和心，而是魂都一起在祝。
在祝中，心中常常忘了神的存在。
我要神的存在，神的光著我。
你有望 - 一想要是什在行世界的望。
要，必需透祈，而那必需是全心投入的祈。如果被其他事所，那就不是祈。
你面的障，由心深的祈造奇。
祈在情下，或在合的情下生。
你心存感恩，或你感到完全地助。
如果你不感恩和也不虔，你是的。
感到“我是受到祝福”的感，可以助你克服任何的障。
一旦你意到你是受祝福的，那所有的抱怨、牢、及不安全感都消失。
祝自然耀，生命得富多彩。

By His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Holi is a festival of colours. This whole world is so colourful. Just like nature there are different colours associated with our feelings and emotions: anger with red, jealousy with green, vibrancy and happiness with yellow, love with pink, vastness with blue, peace with white, sacrifice with saffron and knowledge with violet. Each person is a fountain of colours which keep changing.
Puranas are full of colourful illustrations and stories and there is a story related to Holi. An asura king, Hiranyakashyap, wanted everyone to worship him. But his son Prahlad was a devotee of Lord Narayana, the king's sworn enemy. Angry, the king wanted Holika, his sister, to get rid of Prahlad. Empowered to withstand fire, Holika sat on a burning pyre holding Prahlad on her lap. But it was Holika who was burnt, Prahlad came out unharmed.
Hiranyakashyap symbolises one who is gross. Prahlad embodies innocence, faith and bliss. The spirit cannot be confined to love only matter. Hiranyakashyap wanted all joy to come from the material world. It did not happen that way. The individual jivatma cannot be bound to the material forever. It's natural to eventually move towards Narayana, one's higher Self.
Holika symbolises past burdens that try to burn Prahlad's innocence. But Prahlad, so deeply rooted in Narayana Bhakti, could burn all past impressions (sanskaras). For one who is deep in bhakti, joy springs up with new colours and life becomes a celebration. Burning the past, you gear up for a new beginning. Your emotions, like fire, burn you. But when they are a fountain of colours, they add charm to your life. In ignorance, emotions are a bother; in knowledge, the same emotions add colour.
One legend talks about the time when Parvati was in tapasya and Shiva was in samadhi. In facilitating the divine union of the two, Kamadeva, the Lord of Love, gets burnt to ashes by Shiva. Shiva had to come out of samadhi to join Parvati, `Parva’ is festival and `Parvati’ means `born out of festival’ - celebration! For samadhi to unite with celebration, the presence of desire was necessary. So, desire (Kama) was invoked. But again, to celebrate, you need to overcome desire. So Shiva opened his third eye and burned Kama. When desire in the mind is burnt, celebration happens and life becomes colourful.
Like Holi, life should be colourful, not boring. When each colour is seen clearly, it is colourful. When all the colours get mixed, you end up with black. So also in life, we play different roles. Each role and emotion needs to be clearly defined. Emotional confusion creates problems. When you are a father, you have to play the part of a father. You can't be a father at office. When you mix the roles in your life, you start making mistakes. Whatever role you play in life, give yourself fully to it. Harmony in diversity makes life vibrant , joyful and more colourful.
Part 2
The joy you experience in life is from the depth of your Self - when you let go all that you hold on to and settle down being centered in that space. That is called meditation. Meditation is not an act; it is the art of doing nothing! The rest in meditation is deeper than the deepest sleep that you can ever have because in meditation you transcend all desires. This brings such coolness to the brain and it is like servicing or overhauling the whole body-mind complex.
Only then we are able to understand the uplifted state of the being and see that the whole world is all spirit or consciousness. Celebration is the nature of the spirit and the celebration that comes out of silence is real. If sacredness is attached to a celebration, it becomes total, complete. It's not just body and mind but also the spirit that celebrates.
In a state of celebration, the mind often forgets the Divine. We should experience the Divine’s presence, the Divine’s light around us. You should have a desire to experience the something by which the whole world is running. To experience this through your prayers, there should be total involvement. If the mind is preoccupied elsewhere, then that is no prayer at all.
When you are faced with obstacles, deep prayers can work miracles. Prayer happens in two situations, or in a combination of situations. When you feel grateful or when you feel utterly helpless. If you are not grateful and prayerful, you will be miserable. The feeling that “I am blessed” can help you overcome any failure. Once you realise that you are blessed, then all the complaints disappear, all the grumbling disappears, all the insecurities disappear.
Celebration dawns spontaneously and life becomes colourful。更多 在 Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.
