    咸鱼翻身和转运

    看到闲云野鹤在讲一个咸鱼翻身的故事,很诧异。这个故事的意境与古今中外、伊斯兰的价值都相悖,基本上就是投机和赌博心理,如果相信故事本身,又构成了一种迷信,鹤兄不会不明白。我也来讲讲故事:

    Trust in Allah,and tie up your camel。这个故事相信很多人已经听过,从前有一个人牵着骆驼去集市上买东西,到了集市把骆驼往路边一放就去逛摊子了。有人提醒他要拴好骆驼,他说:“不怕,我信安拉,安拉会帮我看管好骆驼的。”达人劝告他:Trust in Allah,and tie up your camel。这个故事虽短,但是表达了一个重要的理念:穆斯林信仰的真主,不是一个频繁的与人世间发生直接联系的存在,安拉给人精神力量和真理指示,但不直接干预人生的具体事务。你祈求安拉,安拉就会来帮你,那么你不是安拉的仆人,而变成安拉是为你服务的仆人。这就成了洪秀全和余杰们的上帝了,随时附身,装神弄鬼。

    第二个故事是关于一个基督教牧师,他非常虔诚的相信上帝,人人都认为,他是上帝最爱的人,死后一定会进天堂。有一天发了洪水,他爬到教堂尖顶上祈求上帝来救他。过了一会儿,一条小船经过,划船的人说你上来吧,他说不,我等着上帝来救我。再过一会儿,又来了一条小船,他还是要等上帝来救。结果洪水越来越大,他就被淹死了,死后来到天堂,他质问上帝:我如此虔诚的信仰你,为什么你不来搭救我呢?上帝说:我已经派了两条船去搭救你,但是你没有接受。

    我和沙宗平老师谈第一个故事的时候,他说这个寓意类似于中国的谚语:“谋事在人,成事在天”。我当时想了想,觉得更接近的道理是“知天命、尽人事”,沙老师同意了我的看法。后来我看到这个基督教的故事,觉得这个才是讲“谋事在人、成事在天”。这里的“天”有“成事”这一动作,跟基督教的上帝一样人格化、具体化,因此还是稍微带有迷信、赌博的色彩,与“天命”这样的真理观念而非实体观念是有很大区别的。

    总之,咸鱼翻身和转运,都不是梦出来的,要想明白。
