一個月前帶隊去班加羅爾 (Bangalore)表演醒獅，機票住宿全免，今天又飛囉。[ 就是第9次踏足天竺國度 ] 這是上天的恩賜，帶著感恩的心上路。不過，種種原因，這次領隊的工作會有更大壓力。這次有了直航，而且先飛班加羅爾表演一場，再轉內陸機往 Chennai 表演多一場。已通知那兒的霎哈嘉兄弟為我們當盲公竹。兩地都是印度五大城市。從前英國佬叫 Chennai 這地方 Madras (馬德拉斯 )，這十年印度地名去英化浪潮下它是最先帶頭回復古名的著名城市之一。
網上找到些中文資料。
Chennai暫譯作欽奈，又叫金奈、清奈……

91. Give Natural Compassion to Others
Give Natural Compassion to Others
"Our compassion has to flow to others. It's a simple business. In this respect one has to understand that the source cannot flow unless and until it expands the flow of it, like the River Thames. We went to see the place from where it starts. It is a small, little stream from seven streams – little, little, very little, little – we can say trickling down – it has become the River Thames. Supposing it does not widen, that will stop at the beginning only. It cannot come out, it cannot flow. It is not because it is angry or upset, or anything like that, but because of the nature of its flow only, it cannot flow, what to do?
So that is what it is, that one has to give compassion to others. It should not be formal compassion, or the affected one, but it should be a natural one, very natural, spontaneous feeling from within. It is not an expression of your ego, superego or over sentimentality, but is a kind of an understanding that he is a Sahaja Yogi, you are a Sahaja Yogi, you are brothers. Not the way brothers have been, but a different type of brothers who are spiritual brothers. You are spiritual people."

90.The Power of Silence as a Guru
The Power of Silence as a Guru
"I am a Guru, I am a Guru, I am not an ordinary person. I am not on the street, I am something special and on the shores of truth, I have to salvage the people who are blind, who are mad, all kinds of things. In the most chaotic conditions this world is today. So at that time a kind of a silence will come within you. When there will be any such crisis, immediately you will become extremely silent. But this is again a state I am telling you. So now, if there is something that makes you upset or makes you unhappy, try to reach that point that axis which is just silence, and this silence will make you really powerful because this silence is not only yours. When you are in that silence you are in the silence of the cosmos, silence of the cosmos. And the silence of the cosmos works for you. You are in connection with that cosmic power we can call it but it's more than that, it is divine power I should say; the Divine power, which is working all the cosmos. So if you just become silent within yourself, know that you are sitting in the kingdom of God. "
