《美食祈禱和戀愛》Chapter 78 (177):將靈魂獻給神
"I wake up. I don't know what to do, because sometimes dreams are just joking, you understand? But I make back to my home and I put this saffron and sandalwood juice on my arm. And then I put this saffron and sandalwood powder on my arm. My arm very infected, very ache, made big, very swell. But after juice and powder, become very cool. Became very cold. Start to feel better. In ten days, my arm is good. All heal.
"我醒來後不知如何是好，因爲夢有時只是開玩笑，你懂吧？但我回家去，把番紅花和檀木汁液敷在手臂上，然後把番紅花和檀木磨成粉塗在手臂上。我的手臂感染很嚴重，很痛，腫得很大。但敷上汁液和粉之後變得很涼，冷卻下來，開始感覺好一點。十天內，我的手臂好了，痊癒了。"For that, I start to believe. Now I have dream again, with father, grandfather, great-grandfather. They tell me now I must be medicine man. My soul, I must give it to God. For do this, I must make fast for six days, understand? No food, no water. No drink. No breakfast. Not easy. I so thirsty from fast, I go to rice fields in morning, before sun. I sit in rice field with mouth open and take water from air. How you call this, the water in air in rice field in morning? Dew? Yes. Dew. Only this dew I eat for six days. No other food, only this dew. On number five day, I get unconscious. I see all yellow color everywhere. No, not yellow color—GOLD. I see gold color everywhere, even inside me. Very happy. I understand now. This gold color is God, also inside me. Same thing that is God is same thing inside me. Same-same.
"因此，我開始信了。我又做了夢，父親、祖父、曾祖父告訴我現在我必須成爲藥師。我必須把自己的靈魂獻給神。因此我必須齋戒六天，懂吧？不吃不喝。不吃早餐。不容易。齋戒讓我渴得要命，一大早太陽出來之前去了稻田。我坐在稻田裏，張開嘴，喝空氣中的水。稻田早晨空氣中的水，怎麼說？露水？對。露水。六天以來我只喝露水。沒吃東西，只喝露水。第五天，我失去知覺。我看見到處都是黃色。不，不是黃色——是金色。我看見到處是金色，甚至在我心中，我很快樂。我現在懂了。這金色就是神，也在我心裏。神和我內心是同一回事，都一樣，都一樣。"So now I must be medicine man. Now I have to learn medical books from greatgrandfather. These books not made on paper, made on palm leaves. Called lontars. This is Balinese medical encyclopedia. I must learn all different plants on Bali. Not easy. One by one, I learn everything. I learn to take care of people with many problem. One problem is when someone is sick from physical. I help this physical sick with herbs. Other problem is when family is sick, when family always fighting. I help this with harmony, with special magic drawing, also with talking for helping. Put magic drawing in house, no more fighting. Sometimes people sick in love, not find right match. For Balinese and Western, too, always a lot of trouble with love, difficult to find right match. I fix love problem with mantra and with magic drawing, bring love to you. Also, I learn black magic, to help people if bad black magic spell on them. My magic drawing, you put in your house, bring you good energy.
"因此現在我必須成爲藥師。我必須念曾祖父的醫籍。這些書不是由紙做成，而是棕櫚葉做的，叫做"lontars"，是巴厘島的醫學百科全書。我必須學習巴厘島各種不同的植物，不容易。我漸漸學到一切。我學會照料人們的許多問題。其中之一是身體生病。我用藥草幫助身體生病的人。另一個問題是家庭生病，整天吵鬧不停。我用和諧、用特殊的魔法圖來幫助他們，也用談話幫忙。把魔法圖擺在家中，就不再吵鬧。人有時爲愛生病，因爲找不到匹配的人。對巴釐人和西方人都一樣，永遠有許多愛的問題，很難找到匹配的人。我用咒語和魔法試圖治療愛的問題，把愛帶給你。此外，我還學巫術，幫助遭魔法詛咒的人。把我的魔法圖擺在家中，能給你帶來好能量。
