勇猛、寬恕、堅忍、清淨、無惡意、不驕慢——婆羅多後裔啊,這些是生來注定具有神聖稟性者之特質。
Vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, freedom from malice, absence of haughtiness-these, O scion of the Bharata dynasty, are (the alties) of one born destined to have the divine nature.
「 勇猛 」(Tejas)指活力、能量、皮膚的光輝或光澤。立志獲得救贖的修行者,在靈性道路上勇敢前行,無物能誘惑或減緩其進步。這種朝向證悟真我或絕對者的不間斷進步,即是光輝,它克服了「惰性」(Tamas)的向下牽引。「 寬恕 」(Kshama)指寬恕。具備此美德者,即使在受到侮辱、責罵或毆打時,雖有能力報復,卻不表現出憤怒。他不受侮辱或傷害的影響。「 堅忍 」(Dhriti)指聖者將所有災難內化。即使在非常逆境和艱難的條件下,他依然堅定不移——這是一種特殊的「悅性」(Sattvic)心境,能消除身體和感官在低落時的沮喪或疲憊。具備此神聖屬性的修行者,即使在嚴峻的考驗、困難或磨難下,也從不氣餒。「 堅忍 」是當身體和感官處於低落或沮喪狀態時的神聖提振劑(補品)。「 清淨 」(Saucham)有兩種:外在和內在。外在清淨通過泥土和水實現。心意和心靈(智識)則通過實踐獨身、寬恕、友善、布施、謙卑、高貴、愛、自滿、慈悲等,從「瑪雅」(Maya,幻相,欺騙、情慾、憤怒、貪婪、驕傲、嫉妒、虛偽、愛憎)中解脫——這就是內在清淨,它比外在清淨更為重要。「 無惡意 」(Adroha)指無仇恨,無傷害他人之欲。「 過度自傲 」(Atimanita)是極大的驕傲。驕傲之人認為自己優於他人,值得他人尊敬。「 不驕慢 」(Naatimanita)是此特質的反面。「 勇猛 」、「 寬恕 」和「 堅忍 」是剎帝利(Kshatriyas,武士階級)的特殊特質或「達摩」(Dharmas),是他們的「悅性」特質。「 清淨 」和「 無惡意 」是吠舍(Vaisyas,商人階級)的特殊「達摩」,是他們的「悅性」特質。無驕傲是首陀羅(Sudras,僕役階級)的特殊「達摩」,是屬於首陀羅的「悅性」特質。神聖財富或「 दैवी財富 」(Daivi Sampat)包含二十六種屬性。這是主賜予的稀有禮物,是盜賊無法奪走的取之不盡的財富。它幫助修行者達到不朽無瑕的「梵」座,是通往永恆極樂或「解脫」(Moksha)境界的捷徑。
Tejas Vigour? energy? brilliance or lustre of the skin. The aspirant who is bent on attaining salvation marches boldly on the spiritual path. Nothing can tempt him or slacken his progress. This unbroken progress towards the realisation of the Self or the Absolute is lustre. It overcomes the downward pull of Tamas.Kshama Forgiveness. He who is endowed with this virtue does not exhibit anger even when he is insulted? ruked or beaten? although he is strong enough to take vengeance. He is unaffected by the insult or injury.Dhriti The sage absorbs within himself all calamities. He is steadfast even when he is in very adverse and trying conditions this is a particular Sattvic Vritti or state of mind which removes depression or exhaustion of the body and senses when they sink down. An aspirant who is endowed with this divine attribute never gets disheartened? even when he is under severe trials and difficulties or tribulations. Dhriti is a divine pickmeup (tonic) when the body and the senses are in a state of low spirits or dejection.Saucham Purity. This is of two kinds? viz.? external and internal. External purity is achieved by means of earth and water. The mind and heart (intellect) are freed from Maya (deception? lust? anger? greed? pride? jealousy? hypocrisy? likes and dislikes) by the practice of celibacy? forgiveness? friendliness? charity? humility? nobilit? love? complacency? compassion? etc. -- this is internal purity. This is more important than external purity.Adroha Absence of hatred? absence of desire to injure others.Atimanita is great pride. A proud man thinks that he is superior to others and that he is worthy of being honoured by others. Naatimanita is the opposite of this ality.Tejas? Kshama and Dhriti are the special alities or Dharmas of the Kshatriyas (warrior class). These are the Sattvic alities of Kshatriyas. Saucham and Adroha are the special Dharmas of the Vaisyas. They are the Sattvic alities of the Vaisyas (merchant class). Absence of pride is the special Dharma of the Sudras (servant class). It is a Sattvic ality that belongs to the Sudras.The divine wealth or Daivi Sampat consists of twentysix attributes. This is a rare gift from the Lord. This is an inexhaustible wealth which cannot be taken away by dacoits. This helps the aspirant attain the imperishable and immacultate Brahmic seat. It is the shortcut to the realm of eternal bliss or Moksha.
