《美食祈祷和恋爱》Chapter 64 (141):瑜伽的真谛  

This was so obviously another one of Swamiji's jokes.
You wanted to be The Quiet Girl in the Back of the Temple? Well
guess what...
But this is what always happens at the Ashram. You make some big grandiose decision about what you need to do
or who you need to be
and then circumstances arise that immediately reveal to you how little you understood about yourself. I don't know how many times Swamiji said it during his lifetime
and I don't know how many more times my Guru has repeated it since his death
but it seems I have not quite yet absorbed the truth of their most insistent statement:
这却是在道场经常发生的事。当你为自己需要做什么事或成为怎样的人下了重大决定后，接下来发生的情形，却立即让你明白，你是多么不了解自己。我不清楚思瓦米吉有生以来说过多少次，也不清楚我的导师在他过世后重复说过多少次，我只知道自己似乎仍未能吸收他们所坚称的事实：
"God dwells within you
as you."
AS you.
If there is one holy truth of this Yoga
that line encapsulates it. God dwells within you as you yourself
exactly the way you are. God isn't interested in watching you enact some per-formance of personality in order to ply with some crackpot notion you have about how a spiritual person looks or behaves. We all seem to get this idea that
in order to be sacred
we have to make some massive
dramatic change of character
that we have to renounce our in-dividuality. This is a classic example of what they call in the East "wrong-thinking." Swamiji used to say that every day renunciants find something new to renounce
but it is usually de-pression
not peace
that they attain. Constantly he was teaching that austerity and renunci-ation—just for their own sake—are not what you need. To know God
you need only to re-nounce one thing—your sense of division from God. Otherwise
just stay as you were made
within your natural character.
