“ 巴巴吉与拉悉利•玛哈夏的首次相遇是个扣人心弦的故事，也是少数几个让我们得以细窥这位永生古鲁的故事之一。 ”
“ 在我们面前矗立着一座闪闪发光的巨大黄金宫殿被饰以无数珠宝，座落在景观花园中，照映在静谧的水池上，呈现出一幅空古绝今的壮丽景色！高耸的拱门上细工镶嵌大颗钻石、蓝宝石及绿宝石，因镶满红宝石而红光夺目的大门旁有几位天使般面孔的人站岗。
***
“‘ 尽情饱览吧，享受这座宫殿的艺术光华，这完全是为你而化现的。 ’ 这位引领我的人说完，对我的惊呼露出会意的微笑。
***
“ 这位贤哲从近旁的桌上拿起一只典雅花瓶，瓶柄上的钻石灿烂夺目。 ‘ 我们伟大的古鲁凝固了无数自由的宇宙射线而创造这座宫殿。 ’ 他接着说：‘ 摸摸这只花瓶和瓶上的钻石，它们会通过所有感官体验的测试。 ’
“ 我检视瓶身，其珠宝足以作为国王的收藏。我伸手触摸房间墙壁，墙面满覆着闪闪发光的黄金，深切的满足感蔓延我心。累世以来，隐藏在我潜意识里的一股欲望顿时消失，它似乎在被满足的那一刻也同时断灭。 ”
***
“‘ 拉悉利，你还在享受对黄金宫殿的梦想渴望吗？’ 古鲁的双眼像他所拥有的蓝宝石般闪烁着，‘ 醒来吧！所有你尘世的渴望即将永远止息。 他低声说了几句神秘的祝福语，‘ 孩子，起来吧。接受传法，透过科里亚瑜伽进入上帝的国度。 ’
“ 巴巴吉伸出手，一道祭火（homa）出现了，周围环绕着鲜花和水果。我在这座燃烧着火焰的圣坛前接受解脱生死的瑜伽法门。
“ 当我再度睁开双眼，迷人的宫殿和花园已消失无踪。我的身体，还有巴巴吉和他的弟子们的形体现在全都坐在消失宫殿原座落处的裸地上、离阳光照亮的石窟入口不远处。我想起我的向导曾提到宫殿会消失，那些被禁锢的原子会被释回它们源起之处，即意念本质。虽然惊讶，但我信任地望着古鲁，经过这一天的奇迹，我无法预期接下来会发生些什么。
“‘ 创造宫殿的目的现在已达成，’ 巴巴吉解释。他从地上拾起一只陶碗，‘ 手放在那里，接受任何你想吃的食物。 ’
***
“‘ 很少人知道上帝的国度包含实现世俗之愿的领域，’ 巴巴吉评述道。‘ 上帝的领域延伸到尘世，但天性虚幻的后者无法包含实相的本质。 ’
***
“‘ 我的孩子，’ 巴巴吉拥抱我并说道，‘ 你必须在众人的注目下扮演这一世的角色。在你出生之前有幸独自静坐了许多世，现在你必须融入世俗人群中。
“‘ 你一直到结婚，有了朴实的家庭及工作职责后才在此刻遇到我，这个事实背后有深层的目的。你必须把加入我们在喜马拉雅山这个秘密团队的想法搁置一旁，你要在市区人群中生活，树立瑜伽居士的典范。
“‘ 世间许多迷途男女的号哭并非没有传达到圣者的耳里，’他继续，‘ 你被选派来世间，要藉由科里亚瑜伽带给无数诚挚寻求者心灵上的抚慰。无数被家庭及沉重世俗义务所牵绊的人，将从同样担负家庭责任的你身上得到崭新的鼓舞，你必须引导他们了解一个人拥有家庭责任并不会阻碍他达成最高瑜伽成就。即使过着入世生活，瑜伽行者在无私人动机或执着下忠实履行责任，也能平稳踩在追求证悟的道路上。
“ ‘ 没有必要迫使你离开尘世，因为你的内心已经切断世间每一个业力的束缚。虽不属于这个世界，你仍然必须留在其中，你还有许多年的时间需要尽本份地完成你在家庭、事业、公民和灵性的职责。神性渴盼的清新气息将会渗透世人干涸的心，他们将会从你均衡的生活方式明白：解脱乃取决于内在的出世心，而非外在的出家行为。 ’
“ 当我在喜马拉雅高山荒野上聆听古鲁的法语时，我的家庭、办公室，和整个世界显得如此遥远！但他的话中回响着坚定的真理，我顺从地同意离开这个深受祝福的宁静避风港。巴巴吉教导我古代古鲁传授弟子瑜伽法门的严格规范。
“‘ 科里亚之钥只传授给合格弟子，’ 巴巴吉说道。 ‘ 发愿作一切牺牲以寻求上帝的人，才适合经由静坐科学解开生命最终奧秘。 ’
“‘ 天使般的古鲁，您既已帮助人类恢复失传的科里亚法门，何不放宽对门徒身分的严格要求以利益更多众生？’ 我恳求地望着巴巴吉，‘ 请您准许我将科里亚传给所有诚心寻道者，即使他们一开始无法立誓做到内在完全舍弃。饱受三重1折磨的世间男女需要特别的鼓励，如果不将科里亚传给这些人，他们可能永远不会尝试走向解脱之路。 ’
“ ‘ 那就这么做吧。上帝藉由你彰显其愿，将科里亚传给所有谦卑请求帮助的人。 ’ 慈悲的古鲁答道。2
“ 一阵沉默后，巴巴吉又说：‘ 对每个弟子复述这段出自薄伽梵歌3的庄严承诺：Swalpamapyasya dharmasyatra yatemahato bhayat.’ （‘ 即使只是稍微修练此法〔 dharma，意为宗教仪式或正义的行为〕都能令你脱离巨大的恐惧〔 mahatobhayat）’ ——生死重复循环中固有的巨大痛苦。）
“ 隔天早晨我跪在古鲁足前接受临别祝福时，他感觉到我极度不舍离开他。
“‘ 我的爱子，我们之间没有分离。 ’ 他慈爱地轻触我的肩膀，‘无论何时何地，只要你呼唤我，我将立即与你同在。 ’”
拉悉利•玛哈夏也告诉可巴兰南达尊者和圣育克铁斯华另一次与巴巴吉会面的故事，那也是至高无上的古鲁多次实现他的承诺：“ 每当你需要我的时候，我就会现身” 的时刻之一。
“ 那是在阿拉哈巴（Allahabad）的昆巴美拉庆典（KumbhaMela）中，”拉悉利•玛哈夏告诉弟子。 “ 我离开工作岗位到那儿短暂渡假。从远方前来参加圣典的僧侣和隐修士云集，我漫步在人群中时注意到一个手中持钵、身上抹着灰的苦行僧，当时我脑海出现了此人是伪僧的念头，虽然外表作出家人打扮，内在却没有相对应的德行。
“ 我一与苦行僧擦肩而过，即惊见巴巴吉出现眼前，他正跪在一个头发缠结的隐修士面前。
“‘ 古鲁吉！’ 我赶紧到他身边，‘ 先生，您在这儿做什么？’
“ ‘ 我正在洗这位出家人的双脚，接着还要清洗他的炊具。 ’ 巴巴吉像个小孩般对我微笑。我知道他在暗示我不要批评任何人，而要明白上帝平等存在于所有身体殿堂中，无论尊贵或贫贱。
“ 伟大的古鲁继续说：‘ 藉由服侍明智与无知的隐修士，我在学习最令上帝欢喜的至高美德——谦卑。 ’”4
身、心、灵的痛苦，分别表现在疾病、心理障碍或“情结”，以及灵魂的无明。
最初巴巴吉只允许拉悉利•玛哈夏传授科里亚瑜伽给他人，之后这位瑜伽化身
(Yogavatar)请求巴巴吉也准许他的几名弟子能传授科里亚。巴巴吉同意并指示未来只有科里亚精进修行者始得传授科里亚，并且必须由拉悉利•玛哈夏本人或由这位瑜伽化身授权弟子所建立的管道获得传授资格。所有经正式授权科里亚老师传法的忠诚科里亚瑜伽士，巴巴吉慈悲地承诺担负其生生世世灵性福祉的责任。
***
SRF-YSS严格要求接受传法者签署一份不对外泄露科里亚技巧的誓约。如此，科里亚简单但精确的技巧得以保存其不腐化的原有形式，不会被未经授权的老师予以改变或扭曲。
虽然巴巴吉为使众生得以从科里亚瑜伽中获益而不再坚持苦行及出家生活的古老限制，不过他仍要求拉悉利•玛哈夏及所有同脉继承者(SRF-YSS一脉相传的古鲁)强制规定所有欲求法的弟子须事先经过一段科里亚瑜伽练习的准备时期，作为求法前的灵性训练。修练像科里亚如此高度进化的法门与散漫的灵修生活并不相容。科里亚瑜伽不只是一种静坐技巧，它同时也是一种生活方式，求法者必须接受一定的灵性训练及规范，SRF-YSS忠实执行这些传承自巴巴吉、拉悉利•玛哈夏、圣育克铁斯华及帕拉玛罕撒•瑜伽南达的教导指示。SRF-YSS课程及授权代表所教导、用以预备科里亚瑜伽的“弘娑”(Hong-Sau)及“嗡”(Aum)技巧，是科里亚瑜伽法门不可或缺的一部份。这些技巧对于将意识提升至自我证悟境界并使灵魂脱离束缚高度有效。(编按)

Even a little practice of this will save you from dire fears
“Babaji’s first meeting withLahiri Mahasaya is an enthralling story, and one of the few which gives us adetailed glimpse of the deathless guru.”
***
“Before us stood a vast palaceof dazzling gold.Ornamented with countless jewels, set amid landscaped gardens,reflected in tranquil pools—a spectacle of unparalleled grandeur! Toweringarchways were intricately inlaid with great diamonds,sapphires, and emeralds.Man of angelic countenance were stationed by gates redly resplendent withrubies.
***
“‘Feast your eyes; enjoy theartistic splendors of this palace, for it has been brought into being solely inyour honor.’ My guide remarked, smiling sympathetically as I exclaimed inwonder.
***
“The sage picked up from anearby table a graceful vase whose handle was blazing with diamonds. ‘Our greatguru created this palace by solidifying myriads of free cosmic rays,’ he wenton. ‘Touch this vase and its diamonds; they will pass all the tests of sensoryexperience.’
“I examined the vase; its jewelswere worthy of a king’s collection. I passed my hand over the room walls, thickwith glistening gold. Deep satisfaction spread over my mind. A desire, hiddenin my subconsciousness from lives now gone, seemed simultaneously gratified andextinguished.
***
“‘Lahiri, are you stillfeasting on your dream desires for a golden palace?’ My guru’s eyes weretwinkling like his own sapphires. ‘Wake! All your earthly thirsts are about tobe quenched forever.’ He murmured some mystic words of blessing. ‘My son,arise. Receive your initiation into the kingdom of God through Kriya Yoga.’
“Babaji stretched out hishand; a homa (sacrificial) fire appeared, surrounded by fruits and flowers. Ireceived the liberating yogic technique before this flaming altar.
***
“When I reopened them, theenchanting palace and its gardens had disappeared. My own body and the forms ofBabaji and his disciples were all now seated on the bare ground at the exactsite of the vanished palace, not far from the sunlit entrances of the rockygrottos. I recalled that my guide had remarked that the palace would bedematerialized, its captive atoms released into the thought essences from whichthey had sprung. Although stunned, I looked trustingly at my guru. I knew notwhat to expect next on this day of miracles.
“‘The purpose for which thepalace was created has now been served,’ Babaji explained. He lifted an earthenvessel from the ground. ‘Put your hand there and receive whatever food youdesire.’
***
“‘Few mortals know that thekingdom of God includes the kingdom of mundane fulfillments,’ Babaji observed.‘The divine realm extends to the earthly, but the latter, illusory, does notcontain the essence of Reality.’
***
“‘My son,’ Babaji said, embracing me, ‘your role in this incarnation must be played before the gaze ofthe multitude. Prenatally blessed bymany lives of lonely meditation, you must now mingle in the world of men.
“‘A deep purpose underlay thefact that you did not meet me this time until you were already a married man,with modest family and business responsibilities. You must put aside yourthoughts of joining our secret band in the Himalayas. Your life lies amid the citycrowds, serving as an example of the ideal yogi-householder.
“‘The cries of many bewilderedworldly men and women have not fallen unheard on the ears of the Great Ones,’he went on. ‘You have been chosen to bring spiritual solace through Kriya Yoga to numerous earnest seekers.The millions who are encumbered by family ties and heavy worldly duties will take new heart from you, a householder like themselves. You must guide them to understand that the highest yogic attainments are not barred to the family man. Even in the world, the yogi who faithfully discharges his responsibilities, without personal motive or attachment, treads the sure path of enlightenment.
“‘No necessity compels you to leave the world, for inwardly you have already sundered its every karmic tie. Not of this world, you must yet be in it. Many years still remain during which you must conscientiously fulfill your family, business, civic, and spiritual duties. A sweet new breath of divine hope will penetrate the arid hearts of worldly men. From your balanced life, they will understand that liberation is dependent on inner, rather than outer, renunciations.’
“How remote seemed my family, the office, the world, as I listened to my guru in the high Himalayan solitudes！ Yet adamantine truth rang in his words; I submissively agreed to leave this blessed haven of peace. Babaji instructed me in the ancient rigid rules which govern the transmission of the yogic art from guru to disciple.
“‘Bestow the Kriya key only on qualified chelas,’ Babaji said. ‘He who vows to sacrifice all in the quest of the Divine is fit to unravel the final mysteries of life through the science of meditation.’
“‘Angelic guru, as you have already favored mankind by resurrecting the lost Kriya art, will you not increase that benefit by relaxing the strict requirements for discipleship?’ I gazed beseechingly at Babaji. ‘I pray that you permit me to communicate Kriya to all sincere seekers, even though at first they may not be able to vow themselves to complete inner renunciation. The tortured men and women of the world, pursued by the threefold suffering,1 need special encouragement. They may never attempt the road to freedom if Kriya initiation be withheld from them.’
“‘Be it so. The divine wish has been expressed through you.’ With these simple words, the merciful guru banished the rigorous safeguards that for ages had hidden Kriya from the world.‘Give Kriya freely to all who humbly ask for help.’2
“After a silence, Babaji added, ‘Repeat to each of your disciples this majestic promise from the Bhagavad Gita: “Swalpamasya dharmasya, trayata mahato bhoyat”[“Even a little practice of this (religious rite orrighteous action) will save you from dire fears(mahato bhayat)”— and colossal sufferings inherent in the repeated cycles of birth and death.]”’3
“As I knelt the next morning at my guru’s feet for his farewell blessing, he sensed my deep reluctance to leave him.
“‘There is no separation for us, my beloved child.’ He touched my shoulder affectionately. ‘Wherever you are, whenever you call me, I shall be with you instantly.’
***
Lahiri Mahasaya also related to Swami Kebalananda and Sri Yukteswar the story of another meeting with Babaji. The occasion was one of many on which the supreme guru fulfilled his promise:“I shall come whenever you need me.”
“The scene was a Kumbha Mela at Allahabad,” LahiriMahasaya told his disciples. “I had gone there during a short vacation from my office duties. As I wandered amidst the throng of monks and sadhus that had come from great distances to attend the holy festival, I noticed an ash-smearedascetic who was holding a begging bowl. The thought arose in my mind that the man was hypocritical, wearing the outward symbols of renunciation without acorresponding inward grace.
“No sooner had I passed the ascetic than my astounded eye fell on Babaji. He was kneeling in front of amatted-haired anchorite.
“‘Guruji!’ I hastened to hisside. ‘Sir, what are you doing here?’
“‘I am washing the feet of this , and then I shall clean his cooking utensils.’ Babaji smiled at me like a little child; I knew he was intimating that he wanted me to criticize no one, but to see the Lord as residing equally in all body-temples, whether of superior or inferior men. Thegreat guru added, ‘By serving wise and ignorant sadhus, I am learning the greatest of virtues, pleasing to God above all others—humility.’”4
Physical, mental, and spiritual suffering; manifested, respectively, indisease, in psychological inadequacies or “complexes,” and in soul-ignorance.
At first Babaji gave permission to Lahiri Mahasaya, only, to teach Kriya Yoga to others. The Yogavatar then asked that a few of his disciples also be empowered to teach Kriya. Babaji consented, and decreed that the teaching of Kriya be restricted, in the future, to those who were advanced on the Kriya path and upon whom authority had been conferred by Lhiri Mahasaya or by the channels established by the Yogavatar’s authorized disciples. Babaji compassionately promised to assume life-after-life responsibility for the spiritual welfare of all faithful and loyal Kriya Yogis who have been initiated by duly authorized Kriya teachers.
Chapter II:40.
“[He]humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in theearth”(Psalms 113:6). “Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and hethat shall humble himself shall be exalted”(Matt. 23:12).
To humble the ego or false self is to discover one’s eternal identity.
