在瑜伽的路上我從來不急
要來的在我們內功深厚的時候自然會到來
你急什麼？

Kundalini: A Dynamic Force by Sri Swami Satchidananda

Yoga students should be very, very careful when it comes the kundalini. It is a dynamic force, part of the cosmic force, that is in everybody. It is something like a seed that is alive and has the quality to germinate into a big tree. But, if you break open the seed by force, because you want to see the tree inside, you won’t see anything there. Instead, prepare the soil properly. Dig a small hole, just the right depth—not too deep and not too shallow—and plant the seed. Then pour a little water—not too much, but just enough to moisten it. If you pour a whole bucket of water all at once, the seed will decay. Be moderate in how you take care of the seed and then just wait. Give it enough sunlight. Don’t be impatient and dig it up the very next day to see whether it is growing! Let it germinate in its own time while you carefully take care of it. In the same way, the kundalini force is in you. If you prepare your soil by taking care of your body and mind and by being moderate in everything that you do, the power begins to expand and open up by itself.
When your mind is clean and calm, the power expresses itself through your everyday life. At that stage, your mind is peaceful and your life is dynamic. In other words, you are dynamic in your actions and you are peaceful in your inaction. You can see the inaction in action. That is what you call samadhi. Samadhi doesn’t mean that you close your eyes, go into a corner and sit like a rock. If you did that, you would not be of any use to anybody. The real samadhi is to keep the mind completely peaceful in all situations and circumstances. Samadhi means, equanimity of mind. And when you experience that equanimity of mind, the kundalini expresses itself and works through you. You become a peaceful and useful person. So, the expression of kundalini and samadhi go together. But, unfortunately, sometimes people who don’t have complete tranquility of mind can awaken the kundalini power by force. And when that power prematurely awakens, the person suffers greatly because they are not able to control it. By the very nature of having an impure mind, they harm others and also themselves. So, in simple words, it is advisable to allow the kundalini Shakti to use you when it is ready, rather than you using it.
It’s as if you are trying to use God to demand certain things, instead of letting God use you. That power will know exactly what to do with you. But if you demand something before you are ready, you may not know what to do with it. There will be a lot of problems for you.

昆達利尼：一股強大的力量

​

當瑜伽學生面對昆達利尼這題目時應該非常非常小心。這是每個人都擁有的力量，是宇宙力的一部分。它就像種子一樣，是活著的，並且具有發芽成大樹的質量。但是，如果急於想看裡面的樹而用力破開種子，你必定什麼也看不到。

你需要做的是把土壤準備好，挖一個小孔，恰到好處的深度-不太深也不太淺-然後播種。一點一滴的水倒下去，不要倒太多，只須足以弄濕它。如果一次倒一整桶水，種子會腐爛。謹慎對待種子，然後等待。給它足夠的陽光。不要急於第二天就將其挖掘出來看看它是否正在增長！當您小心照顧它時，它會在自己的時間裡發芽。同樣地，昆達利尼力量也在你心中。如果您通過照顧自己的身心，並在做事上保持適度來準備自己的土壤，力量就會開始自我擴展和開放。

當您的思想純潔而平靜時，力量便會在您的日常生活中表達。在那個階段，您的思想是平靜的，您的生活是動態的。換句話說，您的行動充滿活力，無所作為卻始終保持和平 ，那就是人們所說瑜伽最高的境界三摩地。

三摩地並不是指您閉上眼睛，走進一個角落，就像岩石一樣坐在那裏。如果這樣做，對任何人都毫無用處。真正的三摩地是在任何情況下都保持頭腦完全和平、鎮定自若。當您體驗到心靈的寧靜時，昆達利尼就會通過您去彰顯和平的力量。

昆達利尼的開啟意味着您成為了一個和平而有作為的人。
因此，昆達利尼和三摩地同時擁有着和平的特徵。
不幸的是，有時沒有達到完全安寧的人使用了外力去喚醒昆達利尼力量。當這種力量過早地醒來時，這個人會遭受很大的痛苦，因為他們無法控制它。由於思想不純正，他們傷害了他人，也傷害了自己。因此，簡單來說，建議您在準備就緒時才允許昆達利尼力量使用您而不是您去使用它。

不要試圖要求神來幫您成就某些事情，而是謙卑順服地等候神來使用已準備好的您。那種來自內在的力量將明確地指是你該怎麼辦。但是，在準備就緒之前，您可能不知道該怎樣使用這股力量，不當地使用此股力量您將會遇到很多問題的。
