一七四 致命傷
大師以他的德高望重，對宗教却抱着隱隱的敵意。這常使弟子們困惑不已，他們一向把宗教及靈修視為一事。
「當前的宗教所強調的，不外是懲罰與賞報，令人滋生起畏懼與貪慾之心。而這兩樣東西正是靈修的致命傷。」
他接着感傷地說：「這簡直是火上加油，為虎作倀。」
DESTRUCTION
For all his holiness, the Master seemed vaguely opposed to religion. This never ceased
to puzzle the disciples who unlike the Master, equated religion with spirituality.
“Religion as practised today deals in punishments and rewards. In other words, it
breeds fear and greed — the two things most destructive of spirituality.”
Later he added ruefully. “It is like tackling a flood with water: or a burning barn with
fire.”
