一樣喔，英文沒很好，是照自己意思翻譯的，有翻錯或需要訂正，請多指教
這篇對我而言如實地翻成中文一樣的意思有點難（中文也差，慘阿慘，哈），
應該蠻多錯誤的，看得懂英文的直接看英文比較了解喔，抱歉阿。
另外，a spiritual teacher通常也可翻成精神老師，不過感覺這篇YB是在談比較大的東西，所以翻成精神導師，好像比較正式（誰說的？XD）
Q: What is a spiritual teacher?
A: None of you have any idea about what a spiritual teacher is. In India, it took five thousand years to come to an understanding of what a spiritual teacher is and now they have lost it too. The relationship between student and Teacher is like the relationship between a chisel and hammer and stone. Do you know what happens when a Teacher and a student meet? Sparks. Don't look for a Teacher. Look for integrity. Look for one who can integrate the totality of the Infinity with the reality in the finite of the self, and still laugh. He knows; he won't tell. He understands; he won’t speak. Because his power is not his own. His power is his own inner prayer, which is calm, quiet, peaceful, and goes with him. Word is God. In the beginning there was the word, the word was with God, the word was Integrity. (Aquarian Times, Winter 2005)
Q：甚麼是靈性導師？
A：你們沒真有人真知道靈性導師是甚麼。在印度，大約花了五千年的時間去了解到底是甚麼是靈性導師，而今，其實也失傳了。學生和導師之間的關係，有如鑿子、槌子和石頭。你知道當學生和導師遇到時會怎樣嗎？火花。不要尋找導師，去尋找正直！去找那個在有限自我的真實中，能將無限的整體性整合，並且還笑著的那個人，這個人知道一切；他不說，他了解；他不說出來的，因為他的力量不是自己的，他的力量就是內在的祈禱，那祈禱是寧靜的、無聲的、和平的，與他在一起的。神就是說出來的話，一開始這只是字句，這字句就是神，這些話原本就是正直。（2005冬，水瓶時代）
Q: What is the job of the spiritual teacher?
A: My job is not to fall in love with you and sympathize with you or feel good about you. My job is to blast your ego and bring you to a balance of understanding and project you on a path so that you can save your day.
The trouble is that you are blocked. Break the block, face the trouble, find the way, get you out, and get you to move on. That is the job. I cannot be a romantic partner of yours. Neither can I be a paid counselor. My job is very simple: that your life may keep on running better and more successfully, and you have the experience of the birthright of happiness and you should be happy.
Trouble is that ninety-nine percent of you don't listen to me because I happen to be a male and you have no experience with a spiritual teacher. In the West, obedience or surrender does not exist. It's considered a sign of weakness. Actually, it's a sign of strength. You cannot obey if you don't have strength, if you don't have intelligence. My problem is not to gain good will for me. My problem is to gain your good will for yourself. (Aquarian Times, Winter 2005)
Q：靈性導師的職責是甚麼？
A：我的職責不是愛你、同情你或是喜歡你。我的職責是，破除你的小我，帶領你至理解的平衡，以及將你投射正道上，讓你省力一點。問題在於你卡住了，打破這些障礙，面對麻煩，找出一條路，然後上路！這就是職責。我不是你浪漫的夥伴，也不是你付高薪的諮商師。我的職責很簡單：就是讓你的生命更好、更成功，有著光明快樂的經驗，你本該快樂。麻煩來自於99%你不聽我的，只因為我是男的，而你也不曾擁有過導師的經驗。在西方，服從或是臣服並不存在，因為它們代表弱點。實際上，它們是一種力量，如果你沒有力量、不夠聰明，就無法服從。我的問題不是為我自己得到這些意願，我的問題是，讓你得到你自己的意願（臣服的意願）。
Q: How do you teach your students what they need to learn?
A: Poke, provoke, confront, elevate. First I must wake you up. That harshness you face from me, which is sometimes to the point of rudeness, is to wake you up from your spell of arrogance in which you have lost the game to begin with. After that, I get you into a dialogue. Third is to give you a reasonable experience so that you can move out of it and gain your life as it is, and be on your way. The process is not to make you my “clients.” That's not the process here. The process here is that you have the right to happiness and you have the right to success. Therefore, you must work to achieve it. (Aquarian Times, Winter 2005)
Q：你如何教你的學生：他們需要學的是甚麼？
A：刺激、挑釁、面對、提升。首先我必須先喚醒你。將你從一開始就因傲慢詛咒而輸掉的遊戲中喚醒 - 有時是非常粗魯的 - 是你要從我這裡面對的困境，在這之後，我讓你進入一段對話，第三就是給你一個合理的體驗，因此你才會從遊戲裡出來，得到你原本就該有的人生，並在自己的路上。這過程不是要讓你成為我的「客戶」，這不是這裡的過程。這裡的過程是你有權利去快樂，有權利去成功。因此，你必須完成這些過程。（2005冬，水瓶時代）
Yogi Bhajan spoke at the Master’s Touch Teacher Training course on September 22, 2002. After the lecture, Yogiji answered the following questions:
Yogi Bhajan 在 2002年9月22日大師的觸碰師訓課程中講課，在演講後，他回答了下列問題：
Q: What does it mean to be a spiritual teacher, to have a spiritual teacher?
A: To have a spirit. A spiritual teacher should have a spirit and live with the spirit. He should teach fearlessly and graciously and nicely and humanly and humbly.
Q：變成一個精神導師是甚麼意思？去找一個精神導師嗎？
A：去擁有這種精神。一個精神導師要有此精神並且活在之中。要無懼且優雅地、友善地、人性地、謙卑地去教。
Q: How do you find this spiritual leader?
A: The heart will find it, the head cannot. A spiritual teacher is not a matter of the head. It is a matter of the heart. It has nothing to do with the head. When you find your teacher, you find him/her. That’s it. When you don’t, you don’t.
Q：你怎麼找到這個靈性指導者？
A：用心會找到，用頭腦找不到。一個靈性導師跟頭腦無關，而是與心有關，和頭腦一點關係也沒有。當你找到一個老師，你就是找到他/她。就這樣，當你找不到，就是找不到。
Q: What do you mean that the relationship of a teacher and student is like a chiseling stone?
A: Chiseling is the ultimate touch. Without chiseling, a stone remains a stone. Nothing comes out of it. A life that is not ready to be chiseled shall have no shape. Don’t I chisel you these days? So, you’ve been through the experience. Master’s Touch is when your teacher touches your central nervous system and gives you the inflow to your own ocean of self where you can find no corner to hide and you become free—free of fear, because your greatest and most typical enemy is your fear. Your fear creates doubt. Your doubt creates bad language, your bad language creates fights, your fights create misery, your misery creates hell, and your hell creates unhappiness. That is the path we normally adopt. But somehow, through very clear consciousness, Master’s Touch is that touch which turns your fear to non-fear, your vengeance against self to non-vengeance, your unawareness to realization, not valuing yourself to honoring yourself, etc.
Q：學生與老師之間的關係像鑿石那樣是甚麼意思？
A：鑿是最終極的觸碰，沒有鑿石，石頭就是石頭，不會出現任何東西。一個沒準備好被鑿石的生命是不會有形狀的。這幾天我不已打鑿你了嗎？因此，你已經歷過這過程了。大師的觸碰（Master's Touch）即是你的老師觸碰了你的中央神經系統，流入你那無處可躲的內在海洋，你因此變得自由 --- 沒有恐懼，因為你最大、最典型的敵人就是你的恐懼。你的恐懼創造了懷疑，你的懷疑創造了壞語言，你的壞語言創造了戰爭，你的戰爭創造了悲慘，你的悲慘創造了地獄，然後你的地獄創造了不快樂，這就是我們經常採取的路徑。然而，通過非常清楚的意識，大師的觸碰（Master's Touch）就是將你的恐懼轉成無懼，將報復自我轉成無報復狀態，你的無意識轉成領悟，將輕視自我價值轉成自重自愛。
註：Master' Touch是昆達里尼瑜珈裡其中一個2.5小時的冥想
Q: The first time I met you, you provoked the living creature out of me because you were so straight about everything.
A: I am unfortunately very clear in one thing: that God made you the best He could, would, or should. Do not make doo-doo of yourself. That’s what I believe. My realm is that. No man or woman has the right to act condescendingly or harshly to anyone. No, that’s not your right, neither is it your privilege. You should not do that. Wherever there is the breath of life, be exalted, walk tall, and feel free. Have no fear, no vengeance.
Q：當我第一次遇見你時，你挑釁出我的生物因為你對每件事情都太直接了。（意思是說YB的直接，將他內在一些不舒服的事物挑釁出來）
A：我很不幸地要聲明一件事情：神盡全力地、盡他所能、盡他應盡地創造了你，不要讓自己不是（不確定，只是從語意推斷）。這是我所相信的，我的領域就是如此。沒有男人或女人有權利用不屑或是嚴厲的行為去對待他人。沒有人。這不是你的權利，也非你的特權，你不該這麼做，只要生命還有一口氣，要高尚、挺胸、並且感覺自由。無懼，無報復。
Q: Sir, would you explain your personal experience with touching the Infinite?
A: Do you know what it is? Nothing. You can’t believe in “nothing.” You need something to believe in. That’s a handicap. We are from zero, we live through zero, and we end up zero. You meditate and you reach that stage, and you start experiencing it, and things will start coming to you. It is a backward idea to grab for things, to ask favors, etc. I don’t believe in that. God is the Giver—giver in the sense of creativity of the elements. The elements that belong to you shall come to you.
Q：老師，可以解釋你個人接觸無限的經驗嗎？
A：你知道那是甚麼嗎？零。你不相信「零」，你需要某件事情來相信，那就是障礙。我們從零而來，用零活著，死於零。你冥想到某種程度，就開始體驗它，所有的事物都朝你而來，「去獲取」、「去得到喜愛」是一個落後的概念...等等，我不相信這些。神就是給予者 --- 是元素中創造感的給予者，屬於你的元素必歸你。
