Surrender Meditation P214

臣服冥想8
伯納遇見斯瓦米·克里帕盧后不久，他問他的老師是否可以 開始 投降冥想。9 克里帕魯同意了。 這是他提供的 最先進的 實踐，斯瓦米·克里帕魯對大多數人的能力持懷疑 態度， 包括他自己的許多學生， 以正確保持實踐。10 然而，當一個學生要求被啟蒙時，克里帕魯寧願 服從，並與伯納或約格什瓦爾·穆尼一起 這樣做，因為 那時他 已經 給了
他的出離心或桑雅生的名字。 從那時起，伯納將投降冥想作為他的主要練習，並將其教授 給他的學生。
最終目的 在印度傳統中，投降是啟蒙，但很少有人 能做到這一點。 然而，許多人練習投降， 並從 中發現巨大的價值和洞察力。 這 印度教傳統並不是唯一將投降視為最高紀律的傳統。 大多數（如果不是全部的話） 所有宗教的神秘之心都以某種形式提供這一教導。為 例如，日本本土宗教神道教的核心是實踐 臣服於神，稱為Furube（搖晃）或Reido（靈魂工作）。11 基督教的神聖 基督死後，聖靈「附身」了基督的門徒，表現在他們說 方言上，並被呼召 潔淨。12 蘇菲派的“舞蹈”與這種對神聖能量的臣服有關。池 龔提供了一種自發的，通常是世俗的練習。 還有 更多 可以發現投降的情況被制定為 宗教或抽象為健康 中國等技術 布奇13 或日本的 勝原撤銷做法。14
可以認為，因為投降是一種 不做而不是做 的做法，它應該是 第一個和 最容易 學習的紀律，也是 處理 生活困難的最快最簡單的 方法。 但那 將是誤解我們所處的情況。我們不能輕易繞過神經質結構。他們必須是 系統地完成之前的工作 投降是可能的，更不用說可取了。
神秘主義者最後投降 是有原因 的，為什麼斯瓦米·克里帕盧不情願 啟動他的學生。臣服是有紀律的自我投降。自我必須是 足夠制服，不會接管 投降過程 並將其 用於 自己的目的。

Surrender Meditation8
Soon after Berner met Swami Kripalu, he asked his teacher if he could be initiated into Surrender Meditation9 and Kripalu consented. This was the most advanced practice he offered and Swami Kripalu was sceptical about the ability of most people, including many of his own students, to maintain the practice correctly.10 Nevertheless, when a student asked to be initiated, Kripalu preferred to comply and did so with Berner, or Yogeshwar Muni, for by then he had been given
his renunciate or sannyasin name. From this time on, Berner made Surrender Meditation his main practice and taught it to his students.
The ultimate purpose of surrender in the Indian traditions is enlightenment, but few people reach this. Many, however, practise surrender and find enormous value and insight from doing so. The Hindu traditions are not the only ones to regard surrender as the highest discipline. Most, if not all, of the mystical hearts of all religions offer this teaching in some form. For example, Shinto, the native Japanese religion, has at its heart the practice of surrender to the divine, called furube (shaking) or reido (soul work).11 Christianity’s Holy Spirit ‘possessed’ Christ’s disciples after his death manifested in their speaking in tongues and is called upon to cleanse.12 Sufi ‘dancing’ is connected with this surrender to divine energy. Chi gong offers a spontaneous, usually secular practice. There are many more instances where surrender can be found instituted into a religion or abstracted into health techniques such as the Chinese Buqi13 or the Japanese practice of Katsugen Undo.14
It might be supposed that, because surrender is a non-doing rather than a doing practice, it should be the first and easiest discipline to learn and the fastest and simplest way to deal with life’s difficulties. But that would be to misunderstand the situation in which we are. We cannot bypass neurotic structures so easily. They must be systematically worked through before surrender is possible, let alone desirable.
There is a reason why the mystics left surrender for last and why Swami Kripalu was reluctant to initiate his students. Surrender is the disciplined surrender of self. The ego must be sufficiently subdued to not take over the process of surrender and use it for its own purposes.
