問：古儒吉，我曾碰巧遇見一個已在靈性道路上約有40~45年的美國外交官。他說到：「一些聖人有藍色的天國之眼。數以百萬的靈魂，盤旋在天國的周圍，想要進入天國。但要進入天國，只有通過上師才可能進入。」我只是想知道這些都是真的嗎？
詩麗詩麗若威香卡：
這在「薄伽梵歌」裡也有提到。在數千萬人中，只有極少數的人會走上靈性之路；而在這極少數己走在這道路上的人們中，又能夠真正的認識我的，就更沒幾個人了。（指認識真神克里希那 Krishna）
在這星球的840萬個物種中，人類只是其中一個物種。你在經歷了840萬個不同物種的身體後，你才能得到人的身體。只要想像一下，840萬個身體！從細菌、鳥、動物...等等。在有過840萬次的生命後，才有人的生命。在人的生命過程中，只有極少的人能夠接觸到、知道真正的靈性道路；而在這些人中，又能夠走上真正且正確的靈性道路的人，是幸運的人。這不是什麼新鮮事了。
聖者 阿帝香卡拉Adi Shankara也說過，要能夠成為一個人，是非常不容易的。在得到人身後，能夠有那種，想要走上靈性道路的慾望，也是非常非常不容易的。只有少數的人會有這種願望；即使有了，也只是少少幾個人，能有機會這麼做。他們是會走上正確的道路！
太多想靈修的人，是因為被「世界將會崩壞、世界末日將近」等，錯誤的概念絆住。因此這些人做祈禱靈修，是出於害怕或恐懼。他們走上了那恐懼跟罪業愧疚的道路。你看，恐懼及內疚這兩者，是絕對無法讓你深入你存在的本體的。這就是一般所謂的（宗教）或法門他們在做的事。
一些宗教法門製造了對天堂與地獄的恐懼，以及其它的說法，把人推入到那的內疚恐懼與焦躁不安中，致使人們的心智無法平靜下來。靜心也絕不可能發生！這是非常不幸的！因此，即使是那些有志於靈性的人，也不一定能走上正確的道路。再一次，這又是運氣所致。
「別這樣，心智就像河一樣，你想要緊抓著什麼呢？不要緊抓著不放，所有的發生都過去了。放下！然後，繼續前進。活在當下！」
這些人沒有機會知道這個真正的知識。
這知識很多人走在靈性道路的人都無法得到。他們不停地懺悔過往、感到愧疚罪惡，然後心智變得紊亂。
當然他們會祈禱。他們的禱告也會帶來幫助，他們是會得到祝福的。無疑的，祝福是會降臨至每個人的；但對他們來說，知識、正確的道路、解脫輪廻開悟等，卻仍然是個遙遠的夢。
他們生命中沒有平靜。他們滿懷希望的走著，期待有天能去天堂。所以，這些靈魂被困在慾望及恐懼內疚中。
他們再生為人，就是為了要能解脫這一切，並且認為有一天神會解放我們。結果，他們將不得不再回到人間，來解決所有的未竟之業。那時，他們才會有機會進入靜心。
所以，有三件事是罕見且難得的；
一、人身，
二、渴望得道，
三、為你準備的道（能有開悟上師，見註1）
如果你能擁這全部三樣，那麼你是非常非常幸運的！這就是你問題中所提，有關開悟上師的事。
但是不用擔心，你不是在天國的周圍盤旋的，
你是已經在路上了；而且，你是快樂也放鬆的！
註1：Maha Purusha Sannidho：原意是至上，活在本我意識或宇宙意識的人，意指開悟者。
Q: Gurudev, I happened to meet an American diplomat who has been on the spiritual path for 40-45 years. He said that some saints have visions of a kingdom of God, which is blue. Millions of souls are hovering around to get inside the kingdom of God, but that is possible only through a master. I just wanted to know whether all this is true.
Sri Sri: In the Gita also it is said that, among the millions, only few will walk the path, and amongst the few who walk the path, only a few will come to know me well.
Among these 8.4 million types of species on the planet, human species is only one. After 8.4 million bodies, you get the human body. Just imagine, 8.4 million bodies! From bacteria, birds, animals, etv., 8.4 million lives later a human life comes. In this human life, few get to know the real spiritual path. And among those, the few who walk on the path are the lucky ones. This is nothing new.
Adi Shankara has also said, that the human birth is very difficult to get. After having gotten human birth, then the desire of wanting to walk on the spiritual path, is again very difficult to get. Few people get this. And even after getting this desire to walk on the spiritual path, only few get the opportunity to do it; they get the right path.
So many people, who want to walk on the spiritual path get caught up in all these wrong notions that one day the world is going to collapse, or doom’s day is going to come. And so these people pray out of fear. They get into paths where they are indented with fear and guilt. See, fear and guilt are two things which will never allow you to go deep into yourself. And this is what some of the so called (religious) paths do.
Some of the religious paths create this fear of hell and heaven, and other things, and put people into such a turmoil of guilt and fear that the mind can never calm down. Meditation can never happen. This is very unfortunate. So even though these people are aspirants, they are not getting the path. This is again a big luck.
These people don’t get access to the knowledge: 'Come on, the mind is like a river, what are you holding on to? Don’t hold on to it. All the events are gone, drop it and move on. Live in the present moment'.
This knowledge is not available to many people (who aspire to walk the spiritual path). They go on repenting and repenting about the past, feeling guilty, and the mind becomes a mess. Of course they do pray. Their prayers do help, and they get some blessings. Blessings come to everyone, no doubt, but the knowledge, the right path and liberation remains a distant dream for them. Peace does not happen in their life. They sit with the hope that one day they will go to heaven. And so these souls get trapped with desires and fear.
They have come to the human life to be free from all this, and think that God will one day release us. But they will have to come back again to work out all these things. Again they will get meditation.
So, a human birth, desires for a path, and the path being available to them (Maha Purusha Sannidho: getting a spiritual master), these three things are rare and difficult to get. If you have all three, you are lucky. That is what is said.
But don’t worry, you are not hovering around. You are already on the path and you are happy and relaxed.
