Stop punishing yourself for your past!

Woman: I was addicted to drugs, and I'm out of it for three years now. I got a lot of demons like many people here. I like to punish myself. I don't know how to get rid of it. Getting up in the morning and like, I don't want to do this against myself, but I don't know how to just let it go. It's like my friend, you know.

Gurudev: Yeah. See, the person who did wrong is not the person who is today, right? That person was not conscious. That person did not have knowledge, right? That person is dead and gone. Today you are a new person. So, the new person should not punish the new person. Got it?

Woman: I'll try, but...

Gurudev: There is a beautiful verse in Bhagavad Gita. I just want to say it here. It says: "api chet su-duracharo bhajate mam ananyabhak" What it means: Even if someone is doing the worst thing in the world, the moment he turns himself in love, in devotion, he should be considered like a saintly person because his heart has already been purified through love. Because your mind is already becoming very calm, serene, and stable. Once that is happening, he is not less than any saint. "kshipram bhavati dharmatma shashvach-chhantim nigachchhati" He'll quickly become the good person with all good attributes, good Karma, and will attain peace—total peace in his life, which is so appropriate. How love, and then the steadiness, calmness of the mind, brings all the goodness in life.

停止为你的过去惩罚自己！

女士：我曾经对毒品上瘾，现在已经戒断三年了。我和这里的许多人一样，内心有很多“心魔”。我喜欢惩罚自己。我不知道该如何摆脱它。每天早上醒来，我心里想的是“我不想这样对待自己”，但我不知道该如何放下它。它就像我的朋友一样，你知道的。

古儒吉：是的。你看，那个做错事的人，并不是今天的你，对吗？那个人当时没有觉知。那个人没有智慧，不是吗？那个人已经死了，已经过去了。今天的你是一个全新的人。所以，这个新人不应该惩罚那个新人。明白吗？

女士：我会试试，但是……

古儒吉：《薄伽梵歌》中有一句美丽的诗偈，我就在这里说吧。它说：“api chet su-duracharo bhajate mam ananyabhak” 意思是：即使一个人做了世上最糟糕的事，只要他在那一刻转向爱、转向奉献，他就应当被看作像圣人一样——因为他的心已经通过爱得到了净化。因为你的心已经变得非常平静、安详、稳定。一旦这种情况发生，他并不比任何圣人逊色。

“kshipram bhavati dharmatma shashvach-chhantim nigachchhati” 他会迅速成为拥有所有善德、善业的人，并获得平静——生命中彻底的平静。这正是最合适的。爱，以及随之而来的心的稳定与平静，如何将一切美好带入生命之中。 http://t.cn/AXan0dxN
