【弗兰克·罗德哈梅尔记录之薄伽梵歌演讲，1900年5月29日，星期二，于加利福尼亚州旧金山市】
一、「若你洞晓一切，切莫扰乱无知者孩童般纯真的信仰。」
二、「宗教是以灵性认识灵性的实现。非以物质认识灵性。」
三、「你是灵性。以灵性认识你自己。以任何你能做到的方式去做。」
四、「宗教是一种成长」：每个人必须亲身体验。
五、「每个人都认为'我的方法最好'。确是如此，然而那只是对你而言最好。」
六、「灵性必须以灵性的形式彰显自身。」
七、「灵性从未能与物质相混同，此乃亘古不变之真理。」
八、「自然中真实的，乃是灵性。」
九、「行动存在于自然之中。」
十、「'太初有彼存在。彼观之，万物由此创生。'」
十一、「每个人依其本性而行事。」
十二、「你不受法则束缚。那存在于你的本性之中。心意存在于自然之中，受法则约束。」
十三、「若你想修行宗教，远离宗教争论。」
十四、「政府、社会等，皆是恶。」
「所有社会皆建立于错误的概括之上。」
「法则者，不可打破之物也。」
十五、「若那份爱使我们憎恨他人，宁可从未爱过。」
十六、「死亡之征兆是软弱；生命之征兆是力量。」

四、基督徒相信耶稣基督为他而死。对你而言，这是对某一教义的信仰，而这种信仰构成你的救赎。对我们而言，教义与救赎毫无关联。每个人可以信仰他所喜欢的任何教义，或不信仰任何教义。对我们而言，宗教是实证，而非教义。耶稣基督活于某一时代，这与你有何干系？摩西在荆棘火焰中见到上帝，这与你有何关联？摩西见到上帝在荆棘中显现这一事实，并不意味着你也因此见到了祂，不是吗？若果真如此，那么摩西曾进食这一事实便足以令你饱腹；你理应停止饮食。两者同样荒谬。过去伟大圣者的记录对我们毫无裨益，除非它们激励我们奋进，去亲身实践，去自己体验宗教。无论是基督、摩西还是任何他人所为，对我们毫无助益，除非它激励我们奋勇前行。
五、每个人都有其独特的本性，他必须依此而行，由此找到通向自由（Moksha）的道路。你的导师（Guru）应当能够告诉你，你在本性中的特定道路是什么，并引导你踏上那条路。他应当能够从你的面相看出你的归属，并能为你指明。我们切莫试图追随他人的道路，因为那是他的方式，而非你的。当那条道路找到之时，你无须做任何事，只需静待，潮流自会将你带向自由。因此，当你找到那条路，切勿偏离。你的道路对你而言是最好的，然而这并不意味着它对他人也是最好的。
六、真正具有灵性之人以灵性见灵性，而非以物质见灵性。灵性本身永远不能成为物质，尽管物质是以低振频运动的灵性。正是灵性使自然运动；灵性是自然中的实在，因此行动存在于自然之中，而非存在于灵性之中。灵性永远如如不动，无有变易，恒常不灭。灵性与物质在实相中是同一的，然而灵性本身永远不会成为物质，物质本身也永远不会成为灵性。物质本身永远不会成为灵性本身，因为它不过是灵性的一种形态，或以低振频运动的灵性。你摄取食物，食物转化为心意，心意复又转化为身体。如此，心意与身体、灵性与物质虽截然有别，各者可转换为另一者，但二者不可混同。
八、「自然中真实的，乃是灵性。」灵性是自然中一切行动的生命。正是灵性赋予自然以实在性与行动的力量。
九、「行动存在于自然之中。」「灵性从不行动。为何要行动？」它只是存在，这便已足够。它是绝对纯粹的存在，无需行动。
十二、自然的一切皆受法则约束——自身行动之法则；而此法则永不可破。若你能打破自然的一条法则，自然将在转瞬间彻底崩溃，自然将不复存在。证得自由者打破了自然的法则，对他而言，自然消隐，不再对他施加任何力量。每个人都将打破法则，只此一次，永久彻底，由此终结他与自然的纠缠。「你不受法则束缚。那存在于你的本性之中。心意存在于自然之中，受法则约束。」
十四、当你结成一个组织的那一刻起，你便开始憎恨该组织之外的所有人。当你加入一个组织，你便是在给自己套上枷锁，你是在限制自己的自由。为何要将自己组成一个具有规则与条规的团体，从而限制每个人的独立行动？若有人违反某一团体或社会的规则，便遭到其他成员的憎恨。任何人凭何权力为他人制定规则与法律？此类所谓法律根本就不是法律。若它是法律，便不可打破。这些所谓法律被打破的事实，清晰表明它们根本不是法律。

THE GITA — III
(New Discoveries, Vol. 6, pp. 213-16. Cf. Ida Ansell’s notes of “The Gita III”, [6]Complete Works, I.)
[Mr. Frank Rhodehamel’s notes of the Bhagavad-Gitâ lecture delivered Tuesday, May 29, 1900, in San Francisco, California]
1. "If you know everything, disturb not the childlike faith of the innocent."
2. "Religion is the realization of Spirit as Spirit. Not spirit as matter."
3. "You are spirit. Realize yourselves as spirit. Do it any way you can." 4. "Religion is a growth": each one must experience it himself. 5. "Everyone thinks 'my method is the best'. That is so, but it is the best for you."
6. "Spirit must stand revealed as spirit."
7. "There never was a time when spirit could be identified with matter." 8. "What is real in nature is the spirit."
9. "Action is in nature."
10. "'In the beginning there was That Existence. He looked and everything was created.'"
11. "Everyone works according to his own nature." 12. "You are not bound by law. That is in your nature. The mind is in nature and is bound by law."
13. "If you want to be religious, keep out of religious arguments." 14. "Governments, societies, etc., are evils."
"All societies are based on bad generalizations." "A law is that which cannot be broken."
15. "Better never love, if that love makes us hate others." 16. "The sign of death is weakness; the sign of life is strength."
[The following numbered paragraphs are correlated with the preceding numbered sentences.]
4. The Christian believes that Jesus Christ died to save him. With you it is belief in a doctrine, and this belief constitutes your salvation. With us, doctrine has nothing whatever to do with salvation. Each one may believe in whatever doctrine he likes or in no doctrine. With us realization is religion, not doctrine. What difference does it make to you whether Jesus Christ lived at a certain time? What has it to do with you that Moses saw God in a burning bush? The fact that Moses saw God in the burning bush does not constitute your seeing Him, does it? If it does, then the fact that Moses ate is enough for you; you ought to stop eating. One is just as sensible as the other. Records of great spiritual men of the past do us no good whatever except that they urge us onward to do the same, to experience religion ourselves. Whatever Christ or Moses or anybody else did does not help us in the least except to urge us on.
5. Each one has a special nature peculiar to himself which he must follow and through which he will find his way to freedom. Your teacher should be able to tell you what your particular path in nature is and to put you in it. He should know by your face where you belong and should be able to indicate it to you. We should never try to follow another's path for that is his way, not yours. When that path is found, you have nothing to do but fold your arms and the tide will carry you to freedom. Therefore when you find it, never swerve from it. Your way is the best for you, but that is no sign it is the best for another.
6. The truly spiritual see spirit as spirit, not as matter. Spirit as such can never become matter, though matter is spirit at a low rate of vibration. It is spirit that makes nature move; it is the Reality in nature, so action is in nature but not in the spirit. Spirit is always the same, changeless, eternal. Spirit and matter are in reality the same, but spirit, as such, never becomes matter, and matter, as such, never becomes spirit. Matter, as such, never becomes spirit as such, for it is simply a mode of spirit, or spirit at a low rate of vibration. You take food and it becomes mind, and mind in turn becomes the body. Thus mind and body, spirit and matter are distinct though either may give place to the other; but they are not to be identified.
8. "What is real in nature is the Spirit." The spirit is the life in all action in nature. It is the spirit that gives nature its reality and power of action.
9. "Action is in nature." "The spirit never acts. Why should it?" It merely is, and that is sufficient. It is pure existence absolute and has no need of action.
12. All nature is bound by law, the law of its own action; and this law can never be broken. If you could break a law of nature, all nature would come to an end in an instant. There would be no more nature. He who attains freedom breaks the law of nature and for him nature fades away and has no more power over him. Each one will break the law but once and forever and that will end his trouble with nature. "You are not bound by law. That is in your nature. The mind is in nature and is bound by law."
14. The moment you form yourselves into an organization, you begin to hate everybody outside of that organization. When you join an organization you are putting bonds upon yourself, you are limiting your own freedom. Why should you form yourselves into an order having rules and regulations, thus limiting every one as to his independent action? If one breaks a law of an order or society he is hated by the rest. What right has anyone to lay down rules and laws governing others? Such laws are not laws at all. If it were a law it could not be broken. The fact that these so-called laws are broken shows clearly they are not laws.
