 Q: Sadhguru, if you are scared of something, how to overcome that? Like, personally, I am scared of supernatural things and ghosts. 问：萨古鲁，如果你害怕某些东西，应该如何克服呢？就像我自己，我很害怕超自然的东西和鬼神。 Sadhguru: So you are essentially scared of something that you have never seen! What this means is that one very important basic faculty of being human is going out of control. Compared to other creatures, a human being has a very vivid sense of memory. We can remember every aspect of what happened yesterday. Because of this memory, we are able to understand how to handle today. This is what we are calling knowledge or information. What we understood, grasped, or experienced yesterday is today’s knowledge. 萨古鲁：也就是说，你是在害怕某种你从未见过的东西！这意味着，你作为人的一个非常重要的基本功能失控了。与其他生物相比，一个人拥有非常逼真的记忆。我们能够记得昨天所发生事物的每个面向。就是因为这种记忆，我们才懂得如何应对今天。这就是我们所说的知识或者信息。我们昨天所理解、掌握或者体验到的就是今天的知识。 This vivid sense of memory and an extraordinary sense of imagination are two aspects of the mind that set us apart from an earthworm, a grasshopper and every other creature. But these are two aspects that most human beings are suffering. 这种逼真的记忆和非凡的想象就是让我们与一条蚯蚓、一只蚱蜢或者其他生物区别开来的头脑的两个面向。但是，就是这两个面向让大部分人类承受着痛苦。 People suffer what happened ten years ago, and they already suffer what may happen the day after tomorrow. Or essentially, they are suffering something which does not exist. They are suffering their memory and their imagination. These are the two faculties which make us human you are suffering the evolutionary process. 人们为十年前发生的事情而受着折磨，他们已经受苦于后天可能发生的事情。根本来说，他们因不存在的东西而受苦。他们受苦于他们的记忆和他们的想象。这两种能力造就了我们人类，而你却因这种进化而受苦。 So, all that is happening is that you are suffering your imagination. You are just watching a horror movie. Why not enjoy it? The problem is, it is badly directed. Your memory and imagination are out of control. The drama is just going on by itself. 所以，本质上你就是在因你的想象力而受苦。你只是在看一部恐怖电影。为什么不好好享受它呢？问题是，这部电影的导演很差劲。你的记忆和想象失控了。这个戏剧在自导自演（完全不由你掌控）。 People say, “This is human nature.” This is not human nature. This is the nature of people who have not taken charge of human nature. If you knew how to manage your psychological drama, you would have made yourself blissful, not fearful. This is the essence of my work – to bring some sense to the drama so that you become the director of your drama. 人们说，“人的本质就是这样的。”人的本质不是这样的。只是因为你没有把握好人的本质，你才变得这样。如果你懂得如何去管理你的心理戏剧，你会让自己喜悦，而不是恐惧。而这就是我的工作核心——让你成为戏剧的导演。 |
