這一年，有多種不同的經驗。
有些人感覺 - 一年過得如此地快。對於其他一些人來說，時間過得真慢!
是什麼讓時間如此輕快?又是什麼讓時間變得沉重呢？
是心智。
當心智在智慧中統合時，時間就消逝得飛快。當心智遠離智慧時，時間就彷彿度日如年的慢。
在新的一年，我們聚在一起歡迎帶著智慧的時間到來,是很好的。
通常心智渴求諸事順利。並且當你較年長時，你就不想再有挑戰。
挑戰意味著費力。你只想要事情順利，去取代這麼多的努力。
親愛的!
生命是挑戰和舒適這兩種的結合。
如果你一直處在你的舒適圈，你就進入了沉睡。真正的潛能不會發揮出來，你進入了慣性(惰性)。
另一方面，如果你只生活在挑戰裡，你會感到無聊，變得枯竭。但自然是如此設計的，沒有人的生命只是挑戰或只是舒適的。
挑戰來，歡迎它。它向你的才能招手。
去友好友善的人是容易的。挑戰是去友好那不友善的人。
我會敦促你接受挑戰，與不友善的人交朋友。
下定決心，一寸寸的擴大你的舒適圈，並看看這擴展 - 我們的舒適圈也正在擴展。
當你決定超越你的舒適圈時，會發生什麼呢？
這舒適圈落在你之後，它開始擴展。你就來到一個凡事沒有不舒服的空間。跨越舒適圈去展現內在的生命力是充滿樂趣且是喜悅的 ! 內在有青春。
我會敦促你接受挑戰。
一個是在不可避免的時候接受挑戰，你無處可逃。挑戰強加在你身上時，你稱它是一個「問題」。哦，我的天呀！ 「問題」！
你接受它並展現你潛在的能力與技巧！
愉快地接受擺在你面前的挑戰，以一種智慧的生命向前邁進，那是我們的道。
你認為呢?
還有當你處在舒適圈，你感到舒適時，去分享你的舒適。
一個啟明的人會肩負眾人的挑戰，並給他們舒適。
一個無知的人會取走別人的舒適，並給每個人帶來挑戰。
當人們覺得在你周圍是一種挑戰，那麼你對他們是非常特別的。
這樣的人存在我們生命中 - 他們只是在挑戰後接著另一個挑戰，並帶走你的一切舒適。
管理它 - 你必須去管理那 ！
所以這即將到來新的一年，有很多挑戰，會帶出你內在的技巧，並且
新年快樂！
我希望過去的一年已經使你更加年輕。青春的跡象就是能接受更多的挑戰，並充滿熱情。
只要熱情在那裡，你就正在這個道途上前進。年歲越長，你更加的年輕！
在年齡上，你越大；在靈性上，你越年輕！
我們一點也沒有失去熱情？ 是嗎?
通常，人們說:向過去學習教訓。我則說，「拋掉一切」。
從過去中學習，仍然停留在過去，留下那些印象！
我說:「就只是空空洞洞，是自發性的」。
過去你所學到的，是在有限時間裡的局限範圍。
我說:「就只是拋掉它」，那麼，你可以活出斬新，懂嗎？
不要以為這又是另外一課。曾說「知識就像肥皂」，抹了後洗掉。
但你必須是把肥皂抹了之後才沖掉。 是吧(ok)？ 又一塊肥皂 ！
不用記住！其它的肥皂洗掉了什麼!?
有三種人。
第一種是那些沒有被授權，
第二種是平庸的，是負起被授權的責任。
第三種是無望的，他們被授權，卻不負責任。
你是哪類人？
平庸的人期望被授權才負責任。
即使你給他們責任，他們也發牢騷，找理由。
第三類的人即使被授權，也不負責任，還繼續責備他人。
第一類人 - 沒有權威。沒有人告訴你，去將這「和平」帶到世界上，但你卻承擔起責任。
你會主動帶來「和平」，因為你關心他們。
這是最頂尖的方法 - 我們在生活的藝術中的做法。
我的虔信者就像籃子裡的什錦水果！
有些人像葡萄，你必須先洗才吃。
有些人像香蕉，你必須剝皮才吃。
有些人像橘子，費點勁剝開才能吃。
而有人就像鳳梨 - 拿在手上，會刺手。你必須砍、切它，才能吃它。
其他人就像椰子一樣，你必須剖開它。
如果你以我的眼睛來看，每個人都是有優點的好貨色，都是可吃的！
但，被對待的方式必須是不同的！
所以今天，你弄清楚明白，你是誰了嗎?
你是葡萄？ 鳳梨 ？ 橘子嗎？
了解你的行為是鳳梨還是椰子？
世界上有樂趣和挑戰，
生活的藝術不是一個山羊農場或牛棚，
它是動物園！
這不是羊農場或牛棚。是非常不一樣的！
不同的性向，不同的本性，而人們都好.好....
所以在日曆上寫下，每年你要進入靜默課程多少次？
你會多少次為你週邊的人籌劃一些唱場或課程？
如果你將生命放在世界他人的身上，你的生命會變得非常富有！
如果你把生命全關注在自己身上，它會開始腐敗！
感覺消融在時間裡的方法，就是當你把生命放在那裡。
那麼，你會看到時間非常豐富，它用飛的！你和它一起飛翔。
如果你把它保留給自己，它是一種負擔並會埋葬你！
散播知識和愛，並在日曆上作計劃。
還有一件事 - 計劃和靈活性。你規劃並保持靈活。
自然使你有彈性。
靈活彈性並不是意謂著會失去承諾。
三種配方 - 計劃，承諾和靈活性！
結合在一起是很重要的！

Gurudev's New Year message.
One more year has passed.
The year has left many different experiences.
Some feel – it flew so fast.
For others – time has gone slow.
What makes time lighter and
what makes time heavier?
It's the mind.
When the mind is united in wisdom time flies.
When mind is away from wisdom time goes so slow.
It's good that this new year we have gathered to welcome time with wisdom.
Generally the craving in the mind is that
everything should go smooth.
And the older you get, you don't want to have challenges.
Challenge means effort. So much effort
that you want things to go smooth.
My dear,
life is a combination of both challenges and comfort.
If you are in your comfort zone all the time, you go into slumber.
Real potential does not come up,
you get into inertia.
On the other hand,
if you get only challenges in life you will get bored,
you get drained
but nature is made such that
nobody's life is only challenge or comfort.
Challenges come, welcome it .It beckons your talents.
Its easy to be friendly with persons who are friendly.
Challenge is to be friendly with the ones who are not friendly.
I would urge you to accept challenges,
make friends with people who are not friendly.
Make this your resolution.
Inch by inch increase your comfort zone
and see the expansion- our comfort zone is also expanding.
When you decide to go beyond your comfort zones
what happens ???
The comfort zone comes behind you,
it starts expanding.
You come to a space where nothing is uncomfortable.
Its fun ,its joy
to get out of our comfort zone that shows that there is life in you,
there is youthfulness in you. I would
urge you to take challenges.
One is taking challenges out of inevitability,
you have nowhere to go.
When challenge is imposed on you – then you call it a problem.
Oh My God ! problem!
You take it to manifest your potential, your skills.
And happily accepting the challenges that life poses in front of you, moving forward in life is the way of wisdom – that is our path.
What do you say ?
And when you are in the comfort zone,
you feel the comfort and share your comforts.
An enlightened person take others challenges and give them comfort.
An ignorant person takes everyones comfort and gives everyone challenges.
People feel that being around you is a challenge, then you are very special to them.
Such people are in our lives- simply they pose challenge one after the other and take all your comforts!
Manage it – you have to manage that.
So the coming new year, there are many challenges that will bring out the skills in you and the New year will give you many comforts that you can share with others.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !
I hope the past year has made you more younger.
The sign of youthfulness is to take on more challenges and be enthusiastic.
As long as enthusiasm is there you are moving
in this path. The older you get the younger you become!
The older you get in age , the younger you become in spirit!
We have not lost enthusiasm at all, right?
Generally, people say
learn lesson from the past.
I say, just drop everything.
Learning from the past is still remaining in the past,
keeping those impressions!
I say just be hollow and empty ,be spontaneous.
What you have learnt in the past is a limited purview of limited time.
I say just drop it , then you can be fresh and alive, got it?
Don't think this is another lesson.
Knowledge is said to be like soap
you put it and wash off.
But you have to put the soap to wash it off. Ok? one more soap.
Don't remember it
another soap to wash off what ????
There are three kinds of people.
1)Those who don't have authority but take responsibility
the goal is to bring more people in this type.
2) Mediocre are who take responsibility with Authority
3)Hopeless are they who have authority but don't take responsibility.
You are in which category ?
The mediocre expect to be given authority to take responsibility.
Even if you give them responsibility they grumble,
they give reasons .
The third category have authority and don't take responsibility and keep blaming others.
The first category – have no authority.
No one tells you to bring peace into the world but you take the responsibility.
You will take initiative to bring peace -because you care for them
THIS IS THE TOP WAY -we do this in Art of Living.
My devotees are like Basket of assorted fruits!
Some are like grapes – you have to wash and eat.
Some are like bananas – you have to peel and eat.
Some are like oranges – little more effort to eat.
Yet others are like pineapple-you take in your hand, its thorny. You have to chop it and cut it and eat it.
Others are like coconut- you have to break it.
If you see through my eyes, everyone has something good,
all are eatable!
But the treatment has to be different,
so today you figure out who you are.
Are you grapes ? Pineapple ? orange ?
Find out how you behave-pineapple or coconut?
There is fun and challenge in the world,
everyone is different
AOL is not a goat farm or a cow shed,
its a zoo!
It's not a sheep farm or cow shed.
It's very different-
different tendencies,
different in nature,
yet the people are
good good .....
So fill your calendar,
how many times a year you are going to do silence program?
How many times you are going to organize some nice satsang and programs for others around you?
If you put your life to others in the world, your life becomes very rich!
If u keep it all to yourself it starts rotting!
The way to feel lost in time, when you put your life out there.
Then you see time is very fruitful and it flies! And you fly with it.
If you keep it to yourself,
its a burden and buries you!
Spread knowledge and love and plan with your calendar.
One more thing -
Planning and flexibility.
You plan and be flexible.
Nature makes you flexible.
Flexible does not mean losing the commitment.
Three ingredients-
plan, commitment and flexibility!
Coming together is important!
