"There is nobody who has not been happy." "Everybody has been happy but the problem is they are not able to maintain it, that's all." "There're only two things. How joyful are you and how much joy do you give to people around you?" "Just do this for two days and see, you will become something truly fantastic within yourself."
「沒有人不曾快樂過。」「每個人都曾快樂,但問題是人們無法維持這種狀態,僅此而已。」「只有兩件事:你有多快樂,以及你給周圍的人帶來了多少快樂?」「只是這樣做兩天,你就會發現,你內在會變得非常美妙。」
Sadhguru: What is well-being? When do you really feel well in your life? When do you truly feel well? When you are very happy, you are well. Even if you are physically ill, you are still well, isn't it? Even if you are medically diagnosed as ill, you are very happy right now, you are feeling well. Isn't it? So fundamentally, well being means a certain level of joyfulness, certain exuberance of life.
Sadhguru(薩古魯):什麼是幸福?在你的生命中你什麼時候真正感覺好?你什麼時候真正感覺好?當你非常快樂的時候,你感覺好。即使你身體生病,你仍然感覺好,不是嗎?即使在醫學上你被診斷為病人,你現在很高興,你會感覺很好。不是嗎?所以從根本上說,幸福意味著一定程度的喜悅,生命的某種生機。
What is happiness? We can say happiness is this that, but in terms of life, your life energies are happening in a more exuberant way than it normally happens. Depression means your life energies have become very low and staid. Happiness means your life energies are exuberant. There are many ways of describing happiness but only those who are happy know what it means to be happy. There is nobody who has not been happy. Everybody has been happy but the problem is they are not able to maintain it, that's all. So, you don't have to enforce any resolutions upon yourself, just little tools to make sure that you don't sink.
什麼是快樂?我們可以說快樂是這個那個,但是就生命而言,(快樂)是指你的生命能量比通常更旺盛地迸發。沮喪是指你的生命能量變得低落而毫無生氣。快樂意味著你的生命能量旺盛。描述快樂的方式很多,但只有那些快樂的人才知道快樂意味著什麼。沒有人不曾快樂過。每個人都曾快樂,但問題是人們無法維持這種狀態,僅此而已。所以,你不必強迫自己下決心,只需要一些小工具來確保你不消沉。
#1 DO A DAILY LIFE AUDIT
#1 做每日生命審計
Sadhguru: See, lot of people who're doing business, they think they're keeping accounts only for the sake of IRS. No, you keep accounts, not for the sake of IRS, because if you do not keep accounts, you do not know whether you're making a profit or loss. That's the idea of accounts, isn't it? Whether you're moving forward or backward, to know this, you need an account book.
Sadhguru(薩古魯):有很多經商的人,他們以為記帳是為了國稅局而已。不,你記帳,不是因為國稅局,而是因為如果你不記帳,你就不知道你是在盈利還是虧損。這就是記帳的目的,不是嗎?想要知道你是前進還是後退,你需要一個帳簿。
Why don't you keep an account book? At the end of the day, just check, 「Am I little more joyful today than yesterday?」 If you had done this since you were five years of age, you would have been ecstatic by now. Profit side... became like this because you never kept accounts. One day, you checked when it became very acute. Then, you see you are in a big loss. Every day, every month just keep accounts, 「Am I becoming more joyful or less joyful?」
你為什麼不去記一下帳呢?在一天結束時,檢查一下,「我今天是不是比昨天更快樂一點點? 」如果你從五歲就開始這樣做了,到現在你就該達到狂喜了。利潤.變成這樣是因為你從不記帳。總有一天,當問題變得嚴重時你才開始檢查,然後,你看到你虧損累累。每一天、每一個月,只是記錄下「我是變得更快樂還是更不快樂? 」
There're only two things. How joyful are you and how much joy do you give to people around you? This you can keep accounts. If you keep accounts of this. People are keeping accounts of their money, as if they're going to carry it with them. The real wealth of life is how joyful you are, how wonderful is your experience of life. Joy is not a goal by itself but it's a necessary ambiance for life. If you don't set this one ambiance, then whatever you have is just going waste.
只有兩件事。你有多快樂以及你給周圍人帶來了多少快樂?你可以把這個記錄下來,如果你把這個記錄下來。人們記錄金錢的收支,好像他們會隨身攜帶似的。生命的真正財富是你有多快樂,你的生命體驗有多精彩。快樂本身並不是一個目標,而是生命必不可少的氛圍。如果你不設置這個氛圍,那麼你所擁有的一切都將白白浪費。
#2 REMEMBER, IT'S A BRIEF LIFE!
#2 記住,這是一個短暫的生命!
Sadhguru: Tomorrow if you wake up in the morning – no, this is not my wish but I want you to know of all the people who go to bed tonight, over a million people will not wake up tomorrow morning. And if you and me wake up tomorrow morning, is it not a fantastic thing? A million people did not wake up. You woke up, is it not a great thing?
Sadhguru(薩古魯):如果你們明天早上醒來。不,這不是我的願望,但我想讓你們知道,今晚所有上床睡覺的人中,超過一百萬人明天早上不能醒來。如果你、我明早醒來,這不是一件很棒的事情嗎?一百萬人沒有醒來,你們醒了,這不是一件很棒的事嗎?
Participants: Yes.
參加者:是的。
Sadhguru: You don't seem to think so because the problem is just this - you are living with an idea that you are immortal. When I say you're immortal, you're not actually thinking you're immortal but you're not conscious of your mortality. If you're not conscious of your mortality, somewhere you think you're immortal, isn't it? How many moments in a day are you conscious that you're mortal?
Sadhguru(薩古魯):你們似乎不這麼認為,因為問題就在於——你一直以為自己是不死的。我這麼說,並不是你真的認為你不會死,但你並沒有意識到你終有一死。如果你沒有意識到你終有一死,某種程度你就是認為你是不死的,不是嗎?一天中有多少時刻你意識到自己終有一死?
If you were conscious, would you have time to crib? Would you have time to fight with somebody, would you have time to do some rubbish with your life? If you're conscious that you are mortal, you would do nothing other than what is absolutely needed for you and everybody around you. Don't think this is a negative thing, death is not a negative thing; it's the only thing which has added value to your life. If you're here forever, you would be unbearable.
如果你意識到了,你還會有時間去抱怨嗎?你還會有時間和別人吵鬧嗎? 你還會有時間用生命去做毫無價值的事情嗎?如果你意識到自己終有一死,除了你和你周圍的人真正需要的事情,你不會做任何其它事情。不要認為這是一件消極的事,死亡不是消極的,它是唯一給你的生命增加價值的東西。如果你永生不老,你會讓人無法忍受。
If you just become conscious of this one thing that 「I'm mortal,」 you don't have to think 「I will die today.」 We don't intend, we want to live as far as possible, just you know 「One day I will die.」 Every day, every moment if you remind yourself this is a brief life 「I am mortal, one day I will end.」 Just do this for two days and see, you will become something truly fantastic within yourself. Just this is all.
如果你只是意識到「我終有一死」這件事——你不必想著「我今天會死」,我們不想要那樣,我們想活得儘可能長久些,只是你要知道「有一天我會死。每一天、每時每刻,如果你提醒自己這是一個短暫的生命,「我是凡人,總有一天我會死亡。」只是這樣做兩天,你就會發現,你內在會變得非常奇妙。僅此而已。
#3 TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HAPPINESS
#3 對你的快樂負責
Sadhguru: This is the fundamental aspect of yoga. The first teaching that came out was that it is your karma - that means it's your making. Your life and the experience of your life is entirely your making. If this one thing doesn't sink into you absolutely, you will not make the necessary changes. You still think 「Yes, I know it's my karma but you know my husband, what he did?」 You can't fix this.
Sadhguru(薩古魯):這是瑜伽的基本方面。(瑜伽的)第一個教導是,這是你的業力——意思是它是你的創造。你的生命和生命體驗完全是你自己的創造。如果你沒有完全理解這一點,你就不會做出必要的改變。你仍然認為「是的,我知道這是我的業力,但你知道我的丈夫他做了什麼嗎? 」你這樣不能解決問題。
First you understand this is my making, entirely my making. The moment you see it, you have the ability to change it. 「I see it but you know what they did to me yesterday?」 Now, you can't change it. It doesn't matter who did what. What is happening within you, your experience of your life is entirely your making – this is your karma. Karma means - not something that drops upon you from somewhere, karma means your action, it's your making, it's your doing.
首先你要明白這是我造成的,完全是我的製造。一旦你明白,你就有能力去改變它。「我明白,但你知道他們昨天對我做了什麼嗎? 」這樣一來,你無法改變它了。誰做了什麼並不重要。你內在所發生的,你生命的體驗完全是你自己創造的——這是你的業力。業力不是從某處降到你身上的東西,業力是你的行為,它是你的所作所為。
#4 KEEP EVERYTHING ASIDE BEFORE GOING TO BED
#4上床睡覺前把一切放一邊
Sadhguru: Before you go to bed, everything that's not you, keep it aside. They may be precious to you. You think about it, your house, is it you? 「Oh! My house」. All right, you have lots of passion about Your husband, is it you? No, that's easy, 「He is not me」. My children, are they me? Oh, little difficulty, but no, they are not me. They're beginning to tell you – if they're twelve, they've already told you. So, the clothes that you wear, is that you? No. The body that you wear, is that you? No. All these thoughts and emotion, is this you? No.
Sadhguru(薩古魯):在上床睡覺之前,把你所不是的一切放一邊。對你來說它們可能很珍貴。你想想,你的房子,是你嗎? 「噢!我的房子」。好吧,你對它充滿熱情,但是好吧,把它放一邊。你丈夫,是你嗎?不,這很容易,「他不是我」。我的孩子,他們是我嗎?噢,有點困難,但是不,他們不是我。他們開始在這麼告訴你了——如果他們十二歲,他們就已經告訴你了。你穿的衣服是你嗎?不是。你的這個身體,是你嗎?不是。所有這些想法和情感,是你嗎?不是。
Everything that's not you, keep it in one heap, not physically, just do this mentally. Keep everything aside, let me see. Every day, you practice this. One day, when you successfully keep everything aside that you are not, what you are will be there.
把你所不是的一切堆在一邊,不是實際上這麼做,只是在心理上這麼做。一切都放在一邊,讓我看看。你每天都練習這個。總有一天,當你成功地把你所不是的一切放一邊時,你所是的就會出現。
#5 5 MINUTES EVERY DAY FOR LOVE
#5 每天為愛花上5分鐘時間
Sadhguru: What you're referring to as love is basically the sweetness of your emotion. You sit here you could feel love about somebody who is not even here. So it's got nothing to do with anybody. It is just the sweetness of your emotion. Now is your love affair, your ability to love, is it on self-start or is it on push-start? You can use another person to stimulate that within you or you can be on self-start mechanism.
Sadhguru(薩古魯):人們所說的愛其實就是指情感的甜蜜。你坐在這裡,你可以感受對一個不在這裡的人的愛,所以這和任何人都沒有關係,這只是你情感的甜蜜。那麼你的愛、你愛的能力,是自我啟動還是推動啟動的?你可以用另一個人去激發你內在的愛,或者你可以採用自我啟動機制。
See what is this need for love in a human being? Constantly, a human being is longing to be something more than what they are right now. The thing is you want to include something which is not a part of you as yourself, that is the whole effort. If it happens emotionally, on the emotional level if you try this, we call this a love affair. You are trying to make somebody who is not a part of you, a part of yourself emotionally- this is a love affair. If you do it consciously, we call this yoga.
人類對愛的需求是怎麼回事,明白了嗎?一直以來,人類總是渴望超越現在的自己。其實,你是想要把「不是你」的東西融為你的一部分,這就是全部的努力所在。如果它發生在情感上,如果你在情感層面上嘗試這樣做,我們稱之為愛情。你試圖在情感上將不是你一部分的人融為你的一部分,這就是愛情。如果你有意識地這樣做,我們稱之為瑜伽。
For 5 minutes every day, go sit with something that does not mean anything to you, may be a tree or a pebble or a worm or an insect. After some time, you will find you can look upon it with as much love as you hold for your wife, husband, mother, child or dog. May be the worm does not know this, the insect does not know this, that does not matter. If you can look at everything lovingly, the whole world explodes into a beautiful phenomenon for you. You realize love is not something that you do, it is the way you are.
每天花5分鐘的時間,坐在某個對你來說毫無意義的東西旁邊,它可能是一棵樹、一塊鵝卵石、一條蟲子或者一隻昆蟲。過一段時間後,你會發現你可以對它就像對你的妻子、丈夫、母親、孩子或狗那樣充滿愛意。可能蟲子不知道,昆蟲不知道,那沒關係。如果你可以充滿愛意地看待一切,整個世界都會為你綻放出美麗的奇蹟。你會意識到愛不是所做的,愛是你存在的方式。
