《美食祈祷和恋爱》Chapter 52 (113):感应力  

"What is it
then?"
I explained to the monk why I had e to dread the Gurugita
how tortuous it feels.
He said
"Wow—look at you. Even just talking about it you're getting all bent out of shape."
他说：“哇，看看你。哪怕只是谈到它，都让你不愉快。”
It was true. I could feel cold
clammy sweat accumulating in my armpits.
I asked
"Can't I use that time to do other practices
instead? I find sometimes that if I go to the meditation cave during the Gurugita I can get a nice vibe going for meditation."
"Ah—Swamiji would've yelled at you for that. He would've called you a chanting thief for riding on the energy of everyone else's hard work. Look
the Gurugita isn't supposed to be a fun song to sing. It has a different function. It's a text of unimaginable power. It is a mighty purifying practice. It burns away all your junk
all your negative emotions. And I think it's probably having a positive effect on you if you're experiencing such strong emotions and physical reactions while you're chanting it. This stuff can be painful
but it's awfully beneficial."
"How do you keep the motivation to stay with it?"
"What's the alternative? To quit whenever something gets challenging? To futz around your whole life
miserable and inplete?"
"Did you really just say 'futz around'?" "Yes. Yes
I did."
"What should I do?"
"You have to decide for yourself. But my advice—since you asked—is that you stick to chanting the Gurugita while you're here
especially because you're having such an extreme reaction to it. If something is rubbing so hard against you
you can be sure it's working on you. This is what the Gurugita does. It burns away the ego
turns you into pure ash. It's supposed to be arduous
Liz. It has power beyond what can be rationally understood. You're only staying at the Ashram another week
right? And then you're free to go traveling and have fun. So just chant the thing seven more times
then you never have to do it again. Remember what our Guru says—be a scientist of your own spiritual experience. You're not here as a tourist or a journalist; you're here as a seeker. So explore it."
"So you're not letting me off the hook?"
"You can let yourself off the hook anytime you want
Liz. That's the divine contract of a little something we call free will." Eat
Pray
Love
