一七四 致命伤
大师以他的德高望重，对宗教却抱着隐隐的敌意。这常使弟子们困惑不已，他们一向把宗教及灵修视为一事。
「当前的宗教所强调的，不外是惩罚与赏报，令人滋生起畏惧与贪欲之心。而这两样东西正是灵修的致命伤。」
他接着感伤地说：「这简直是火上加油，为虎作伥。」
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.”
