Question: What is the difference between yoga and meditation? 提问者：瑜伽和冥想的不同之处在哪里？ Sadhguru: The English word “meditation” doesn’t mean anything because if you sit with closed eyes, you are “meditating”. But with eyes closed, you could do many things – japa, tapa, dharana, dhyana, samadhi, shoonya. Or you might have mastered the art of sleeping in vertical postures! If you mean meditation as dhyana, it is one aspect of yoga. 萨古鲁：英文单词“冥想（meditation）”并没有任何含义，因为如果你坐下来闭上眼睛，你就在“冥想”。但闭着眼睛，你可以做许多事 – 伽帕（japa），塔帕（tapa），专注（dharana），入定（dhyana），三摩地（smadhi），舒尼亚（shoonya）。或者你也许只是掌握了用直立姿势睡觉的艺术！如果你的冥想指的是入定，它是瑜伽的其中一个方面。 Meditation is not something that you can do. But you can become meditative. Meditation is a certain quality,not a certain act. 冥想不是你能做的一件事。但你可以变得具有冥想特质。冥想是一种特质，而不是一个行为。 The main aspect of meditation is, right now your mind is the boss and you are the slave. As you become more meditative, you become the boss and your mind becomes the slave – and that is how it should always be. If you allow the mind to rule, it is a terrible master. It will put you through all kinds of endless suffering. But as a slave, the mind is wonderful – it is a miraculous slave. 冥想的主要层面是，如今，你的头脑是主人而你是奴隶。随着你变得更有冥想性，你就成了主人而你的头脑变成了奴隶 – 而你本该一直如此的。如果你允许头脑去操纵，它是一个糟糕的主人。它会带给你各种各样无尽的折磨。但作为一个奴隶，头脑是极好的 – 它是一个奇迹般的奴隶。 The reason why most people who have tried meditation have come to the conclusion that it’s very difficult or impossible is because they are trying to do it. Meditation is not something that you can do. But you can become meditative. Meditation is a certain quality, not a certain act. If you cultivate your body, mind, energies and emotions to a certain level of maturity, meditation naturally happens. It is just like if you keep the soil fertile, if you give it the necessary manure and water and if the right kind of seed is there, it will grow and bloom into flowers and fruits. 大部分人尝试了冥想后总结到它很难或不可能，原因是他们在试图把它当做一种行为去做。冥想不是你能做的某件事。但你能变得有冥想特质。冥想是一种特质，而不是一个行为。如果你培养你的身体、头脑、能量和情感到了某种程度上的成熟，冥想会自然而然地发生。如果你保持土壤肥沃，如果你给它所需的肥料和水，如果正确的种子就在那里，它就会成长并结出花朵和果实。 Flowers and fruits will come out of a plant not because you want it, but simply because you created a conducive atmosphere. Similarly, if you create the necessary atmosphere within yourself on all the four dimensions of who you are, meditation naturally flowers within you. It is a certain fragrance that one can enjoy within oneself. 植物会结出花朵和果实并不是因为你想要它发生，而仅仅是因为你创造了有利的氛围。相同的，如果你在你之内所有的四个存在层面上创造了所需的氛围，冥想会自然而然地在你之内绽放。它是一个人能在自己之内享受到的一种芳香。 Question: Can I do yoga if I eat non-veg and drink? 提问者：如果我不吃素或喝酒，我能做瑜伽吗？ Sadhguru: Yoga isn’t a restriction, it’s a deeper understanding of life. If you knew how to become absolutely ecstatic just by your own chemistry, you wouldn’t smoke or take a drink in your life. I’ve never touched a substance but if you look at my eyes, I’m always stoned. Yogis look at alcohol, drugs and these things as kindergarten stuff because we can get intoxicated a thousand times over just with our aliveness. Why simply wine? You can get drunk with the di-vine! 萨古鲁：瑜伽不是一种限制，它是一个对生命更深的了解。如果你知道如何只是因你内在的化学成分而变成绝对的狂喜，你不会在你的生命中抽烟或喝一杯酒。我从没有碰过那些东西，但是如果你看我的眼睛，我总是飘飘欲仙。瑜伽士看待酒精，毒品和那些东西像是幼稚园的玩意儿，因为我们能变得几千倍的沉醉，只是由于自己的活力。为什么要酒（wine)？你能因神性（di-vine)而醉！ Question: How can yoga help in overall development? 提问者：瑜伽如何帮助全面成长？ Sadhguru: Yoga is not about self-development; it is about self-dissolution. It is the method or the process which allows an individual piece of life to yoke itself to the cosmic. When your experience of life shifts from being a limited entity to universality, this is yoga. When there is a kind of oneness or wholeness within ourselves, this is yoga. Then you have a certain freedom to play with your life whichever way you want, but at the same time life cannot leave a scratch upon you. 萨古鲁：瑜伽不是关于自我的成长；它是关于自我的消融。它是一个方法或进程，允许一个生命的个体小片与宇宙进行连接。当你的生命体验从有限的个体转到了宇宙整体，这就是瑜伽。然后你就有一定的自由去以你想要的方式玩转生活，但生命却无法在你身上留下任何擦痕。 Question: The word “yoga” in Sanskrit means “union”. Is there some simple practice we can do to move towards the union? 提问者：“瑜伽”在梵文里意味着“融合”。有没有一些简单的练习我们可以做来带领我们走向融合？ Sadhguru: The simplest form of yoga, to bring this union is Namaskar. The first level of conflict that happens within you is between your ida and pingala, the masculine and the feminine, the sun and moon within, the yin and yang, right and left brain. There is a friction between these two polarities which finds expression in a million ways in your life. By putting your hands together, you can bring harmony to the dualities within and there is a possibility that you can also unite the world. 萨古鲁：能带来这个融合的最简单的瑜伽形式，就是合十礼。在你之内发生的第一层冲突是你的左脉和右脉，阳性和阴性，体内的太阳和月亮，阴和阳，右脑和左脑。这两极间发生的冲突在你的生命中以上百万种的方式表达。随着把你的手放在一起，你能给体内的二元带来和谐，同时也存在着能融合世界的可能性。 Question: Does yoga require the help of an instructor or can it be self-taught? 提问者：瑜伽是否需要一个指导者的帮助或者它能够被自学？ Sadhguru: Let us say you are seeking to go to a distant city. If you are alone and there are no proper directions, definitely you would wish for a map. It is not that you cannot do it yourself, but we do not know how long it will take. On an uncharted path, if you go without a map, you may take lifetimes to get there. If you go with a map, you will cross easily. If you go with a good bus driver, you will cross very easily; that is the difference. When you want to walk uncharted terrain, it is intelligent to choose a person who has already walked the terrain. 萨古鲁：比方说你正在寻求去远方城市的路。如果你自己一个人，没有准确的方向，肯定你会希望拥有一张地图。并不是说你不能一个人走，但我们不知道那需要多长时间。一个未知的旅程，如果你不带地图地出发，你也许会花几辈子的时间到达那里。如果你带着地图，你就能容易到达那里。如果你随着一个好的公车司机走，你会非常容易到达那里；分别就在于此。当你想要踏上未知的地带，聪明的做法是选择一个已经走过这个地带的人。 Question: Is there a career option of being a Guru? 提问者：做一个古鲁是否一种职业选择？ Sadhguru: Someone asked me, “Sadhguru, it’s been wonderful having you as our Guru. How do you feel having us as disciples?” I said, “Being a yogi is fantastic. Being a Guru is frustrating.” What is so simple, I have to speak the same thing in million different ways for a lifetime and people still don’t seem to get it. 萨古鲁：有一个人问我，“萨古鲁，拥有你作为我们的古鲁是一件很美的事。拥有我们作为弟子你又感觉如何呢？”我说，“做一个瑜伽士是很美妙的。做一个古鲁是很懊恼的。”那么简单的事，我得花一辈子的时间用上百万种不同的方式谈论一个同样的事情，然后人们似乎还是不明白。 And it’s not a career because you cannot guide people through certain dimensions of life if it is only a means to your living. Only if it is more than your life it is possible. 它不是一个职业，因为如果它只是你的生计手段，你不可能带领人们进入生命的一些维度。只有当它比你的生命还重要时那才有可能。 Question: What can spirituality give to youngsters? 提问者：灵性能给年轻人带来什么？ Sadhguru: Youth means lots of energy. But unbridled energy without stability and direction is always dangerous and destructive. Only those who are stable can use whatever quality and talent they have to the fullest extent. So the most important thing for youth is, they need to become meditative. If they are a little more stable, this energy which you call as youth, could be put to better use for their own and for everyone’s wellbeing. 萨古鲁：年轻意味着许多能量。但不受约束的能量没有稳定性和方向，它总是危险和具有毁灭性的。只有那些稳定的人能够将他们的特质和才华发挥到最大的程度。因此对年轻人来说最重要的是，他们需要变得有冥想性。如果他们稳定一点，这个被称作“年轻”的能量，能更好地用于创造他们自己以及每个人的幸福。 Before youth manages the country, the world and business, it is extremely important that they learn to manage themselves. The whole process of yoga is the science of inner management. You create an inner possibility where being blissful, joyful and peaceful is of your own nature, and not because of something that happens around you. 在年轻人管理国家、世界和经济前，十分重要的是他们学习如何管理它们自己。瑜伽的整个进程就是内在管理的科学。你创造了一个内在可能性，即狂喜、喜悦和平静变成你的本质，而不是受制于外在发生的事情。 Question: What is the first step to increase awareness? 提问者：提升觉知力的第一步是什么？ Sadhguru: Every hour, remind yourself, “Wow! I’m still alive”. You may think this is silly, but over a hundred thousand people will not wake up tomorrow morning. So, if you are still alive tomorrow morning, smile because the fact that you woke up is not a small thing. Then check whether the few people who matter to you are alive – great! At least a million people lost someone dear to them, but if none of those dear to you are gone today, fantastic! 萨古鲁：每个小时，提醒你自己，“哇！我还活着。”你也许觉得这个很蠢，但有上百万的人明天早上不会醒来。因此，如果你明天早上还活着，请微笑，因为你醒来并不是一件小事。然后查查看你珍视的那几个人是否还活着–好极了！至少有百万的人失去某个珍爱的人，但没有一个你珍爱的人在今天离开，太棒了！ Only when you are conscious about your mortality, you will want to truly know the nature of this life. You will have no time to do nonsense that doesn’t mean anything to you. You will only do what really matters to your life. Becoming aware will naturally happen because the significance of being alive will blossom. 只有当你意识到自己必死的命运，你才会真正想要知道这个生命的本质。你不会有时间去做那些对你而言没有任何意义的事。你只会做那些对你来说真正重要的事。这样你自然就会变得有觉知，因为活着的意义将会绽放。 |
