Whatever you call it, the objective is to hear the voice if silence inside you.
当你成静默的，万物皆会回应你的呼召。
Sadhguru speaks about how we can tap into the true possibility of the mind, by reaching the Chitta, a dimension where God becomes your slave!
萨古鲁讲道我们如何通过Chitta——一个让神都为你服务的维度，触及头脑的真实可能性。
Questioner:Namaskaram, Sadhguru. I have been doing Chit Shakti meditation, and sometimes, I find it difficult to visualize, but later on, things have really happened. Can you throw some light on that?
提问者：你好，萨古鲁。我一直在做Chit Shakti冥想，有时候，我觉得一些事情难以显化，但是不久之后，我所想的都会真的发生。你可以解释下为什么吗？
Sadhguru:Chit Shakti meditation is not just visualization. In the yogic understanding, there are 16 dimensions to the human mind. These 16 dimensions fall into four categories. These four categories are known asbuddhi, manas, ahankara, andchitta. Buddhi is the intellect – the logical dimension of thought. Unfortunately, the modern education systems and modern sciences have largely limited themselves to buddhi. That is abuddhu(foolish) way of existence.
萨古鲁：Chit Shakti 冥想并不仅仅是显化。在瑜伽体系里，人类的心智存在16个维度。而这16个维度又主要分为4大类，buddhi, manas, ahankara, 以及 chitta。Buddhi指的是理智层面——思维的逻辑面。不幸的是，现代教育系统和现代科学的大部分研究都受困于Buddhi这个层级。这就是Buddihu（愚蠢）的存在形式。
The Limitation of the Intellect
智力的限制
Buddhi or the intellect cannot function without a certain bank of memory or data. Depending on the data you have, the intellect plays around. Suppose in your memory system, there are 10 gigabytes of memory. Depending on how sharp your buddhi is, one person can produce, let’s say, a trillion thoughts with these 10 gigabytes. Someone else can produce 10 trillion thoughts with the same 10 gigabytes of memory.
Buddhi，或者说智力层面必须依赖一些记忆和信息才能运作。依靠着你大脑拥有的的信息，智力（思维）层面得以运转着。假设你的记忆体系里，有10千兆的记忆存储空间。这就取决于你的思考速度有多快了，一个人的大脑可以产生，比如，大概1万亿的思想存放在这10千兆的存储盘里。而另一个人可以产生十万亿的思想存放在相同容量的盘里。
If you can think a little better than someone else, it is considered as intelligence today. If someone says one thing and you can say ten things to that, you may be socially smart, but you are not any more intelligent. Unfortunately, in today’s systems of education and academics, everything is determined by this. If you can make more things out of it, you are considered intelligent, which is not true – you only have a sharper buddhi. The buddhi will not take you beyond limits in any way, because it can only function based on the data that is already there. It is not capable of accessing anything beyond that.
如果你比别人善于思考，那么就会被当今社会认为智力超群。如果一个人在谈论某件事，你可以马上引经据典说出十个相关的信息，那么可以说你很聪明健谈，但却不是有智慧。不幸的是，在当今的教育和学术研究体系里，一切都取决于这个。你可以通过思考创造出很多事物，人们会说你很聪明，但这却不是真正的智慧——你只不过是拥有一个思考敏捷的Buddhi。Buddhi 不能带你超越极限，因为它必须依靠已有的信息去运转。它无法将你引向那未知。
The Memory of Your Forefathers
祖先的记忆
The next dimension is called manas. Manas has many layers to it. But manas is not just the brain – it is right across the body. Every cell in the body has a phenomenal memory – not just of this life but of millions of years. Your body clearly remembers how your forefathers were a million years ago. Top to bottom, there is manas – this is called manomaya kosha. In every cell in the body, there is memory and intelligence, but no intellect. Intellect is only in the brain.
下一个维度称为manas.。Manas 有许多个层次。但是manas不仅包括头脑，——它还连接着身体。身体的每个细胞都拥有惊人的记忆力——不仅仅是这一世，还包括几百万年以来的记忆。你的身体记得一百万年前你祖先的生活。从头到脚的整个身体里都有着manas，这叫做——manomaya kosha。在身体的每个细胞里，都储存着记忆和智慧，但不是智力。智力仅存在于头脑里。
What is in the brain is intellect, not intelligence. Intelligence and memory are right across your body. But people have never been trained how to use this intelligence. Instead, they use their intellect for everything. No wonder they are stressed out whatever job you give them. The whole weight is on only one dimension of the mind out of sixteen. It is like loading a sixteen-wheeler truck and trying to drive on only one wheel – you can imagine the stress! That is what today’s world is going through.
存在于大脑里的是智力，不是智慧。智慧和记忆都在你的身体里。但是人们从没机会去学习怎么运用身体里的智慧。相反地，他们用智力去处理所有的事情。也难怪无论你给他们什么工作，他们都会亚历山大。所有的事情都交给心智十六个维度里的其中一个去处理。就好像让一辆拥有十六个轮子的卡车，只用一个轮子去载物一样——你可以想象那该多么有压力！这便是当今这个世界正在经历的。
People may be using other dimensions of the mind marginally, unconsciously, but they are not trained to use them. They have only been trained to use theirbuddhi, or their intellect. They are very smart. They know everything about everything, but they do not know how to figure their own life. They do not even know how to sit here peacefully and at total ease within themselves. If there is true intelligence, the first thing that you need to figure out is how to make life happen. You know how to make the world happen, but you do not know how to make your life happen. You do not know how to conduct your mind, your energies, your emotions or your body.
也许人们会在不经意地极少数情况下用到大脑的其他维度，但是他们没有学习过怎么去运用它们。他们学习过怎么使用Buddhi, 或者说智力。他们非常聪明，他们可以通晓天文地理，但却不知道他们生活的意义。他们甚至不知道怎么安静地坐在那里，全身心地放松。如果真理存在的话，第一件事你需要去明白生命是如何发生的。你知道世界是怎么被建立的，但你不知道怎么让你的生命发生奇迹。你不知道怎么控制你的大脑，能量，情绪和身体。
If you ask people to become fit, they become tight. If you ask them to live in a more natural way, they become fat. Where is the intelligence? There is only intellect. Intellect looks good only in comparison. Suppose you are the only person on the planet, your intellect will not mean anything. Only because there are a few idiots around you, you shine. By itself, intellect will not be of any consequence.
如果你让人们保持健康，他们会变得小心翼翼。如果你让他们活得轻松自然点，他们会变成胖子。人们智慧在哪呢？这里只有智力而已。智力只有在对比中才能发挥作用。假设你是这颗星球上的最后一个人类，你的智力不会发挥任何作用。只有你身边都围绕着一群傻瓜的时候，你的智力才显得光芒四射。但是只有智力在那的时候，它起不了任何作用。
The Sense of Identity
自我感
The intellect directly connects with the third dimension of your mind, calledahankara. Ahankara is sometimes translated asego, but it is much more than that. Ahankara gives you a sense of identity. Once your ahankara takes on an identity, your intellect functions only in that context. It is important to function beyond the intellect, because the intellect is seriously enslaved to your identity.
心智直接与你大脑的第三维度连接，这个第三维度被称为 ahankara.
Ahankara有时候被称为小我，但还远不止于此。Ahankara给你一种个体身份认同。一旦你的Ahankara发生在个体身份的认同上，你的心智就只能在这个背景下运作。让Ahankara的作用超越心智层，是十分重要的。否则你的心智只会死死地受缚于个人身份认同上。
Our identities, such as belonging to a certain nation, community, or whatever else, are necessary for our survival in a particular society. But you cannot think beyond this because you are functioning only from your intellect, and the intellect takes its sustenance from ahankara. Only along the axis of ahankara, the intellect can function. The intellect cannot transcend this, because that is its nature. But there are other ways to know life beyond the identities we have taken on for our survival in the world.
我们的自我感（身份认同），例如属于某个国家，党派，或者其他，对于我们生存在一个特定的社会环境里是必要的。但是你无法超越这一层面去思考，因为你只用到你的智力层，而智力层是靠ahankara支持。只有围绕Ahankara运转，智力才能发生作用。智力无法超越于此，因为ahankara是它的自然属性。但是，除了依靠我们为了在这个世界生存下来而披上的身份外衣，我们还有其他超越于此的方式去感知生命。
The Cosmic Intelligence
宇宙智慧
The fourth category of the mind is called chitta. Chitta is mind without memory – pure intelligence. This intelligence is like the cosmic intelligence – simply there. Everything happens because of that. It does not function out of memory – it simply functions. In a way, what you call cosmos is a living mind, not in the sense of intellect but in the sense of chitta. Chitta is the last point of the mind. It connects to the basis of creation within you. It connects you with your consciousness.
头脑的第四个类别叫chitta. Chitta是没有记忆的大脑——纯粹的智慧。这种智慧就像宇宙智慧一般——只是存在。一切的发生都基于这个智慧（智能）的存在。它不是依靠回忆起作用的，只是存在。从某种角度讲，你们所讲的宇宙是一个活生生的智慧，它不在智力的感知范围，而在Chitta可以感知的范畴里。Chitta是大脑的最后一层。它连接着你内在最基本的创造源头。它连接着你和你的意识。
Chitta is alwayson– whether you are awake or asleep. Your intellect comes on and goes off. Many times it fails, even when you are awake. If chitta or the intelligence within you was not alwayson, you could not stay alive. Try to conduct your breath with your intellect – you will go crazy. Chitta is keeping you alive, keeping you going, making life happen. If you touch this dimension of your mind, which is the linking point to one’s consciousness, you do not even have to wish for anything, you do not have to dream of anything – the best possible thing that can happen to you will anyway happen.
Chitta永远运转着——不论在你是醒着还是睡着的时候。你的心智有时候是运转的，有时候又是休息的。甚至在你还清醒的时候，它也会有陷入睡眠的时候。如果Chitta或者内在智能没有运转的话，你甚至不能活在这个世界。试着通过大脑的理解力去控制呼吸——你会疯掉。Chitta让你呼吸着，存在着，让生命发生着。如果你碰触到大脑的这个维度——也就是和你的意识（本我）连接的这个点，你甚至不用许什么愿望，你也不用编织任何梦想——最好的安排会自然而然地发生在你身上。
The Divine Enslaved
连神性都会为你服务
When people touch this dimension of the mind, it is calledishwara pranidhanain yoga. This means God becomes your slave – he works for you. You know, yogis say, “Shiva is my servant. He does everything for me.” In a way, otherwise, I would not be here. Once you know how to consciously access your chitta, everything that is needed will simply happen in the best possible way. If you go by your intellect or your buddhi, today you think “this is it,” tomorrow morning you think “that is it” – like this it goes on endlessly.
当人们触碰到大脑的这个维度，我们在瑜伽中称它为 ISHWARA PRANIDHANA. 这意味着神成为你的仆从——他为你服务。你们知道，瑜伽士说“湿婆是我的奴仆，祂为我做任何事。” 否则的话，我甚至根本不能够存在这里。一旦你知道如何有意识地碰触Chitta，一切你所需要的会以其最恰当、轻松的方式发生。如果你依靠智力或者逻辑，今天你会想这个，到了明天早上你又会想那个。如此循环往复，没有终点。
Chitta
Once you know how to consciously keep your chittaon, once the Divine is your servant, when someone really efficient is working for you, you do not have to do anything. Simply sit; the best things will happen – things that you could not imagine. People always think if their dreams come true, their life will be great. I think that is a very poor life, because you cannot dream about anything that is not at all in your experience. My wish and my blessing for you is things that you could not dream of, things that you never thought possible, must happen to you. What you did not dream must happen to you – that is why you should not dream.
一旦你知道如何有意识地连接Chitta，一旦神性都为你服务，当有一个最佳的帮手在你身边的时候，你不用做任何事。只是简单地坐着，最棒的事情会自己发生——甚至你都无法想象。人们经常想着如果他们的梦想实现了，他们的生活会变得十分美好。我觉得这种生活可不见得好，因为你只能想象到在你认知范围里的事物而已。我对你们的祝福却是，任何超过你们想象的，任何你觉得不可能的事情都必须发生在你们身上。你想像不到的美好事情都必须发生在你身上——这就是为什么我说你不用去梦想。
Instead of seeing how to delve deeper into yourself, you go on projecting stupid ideas into the world. People think that is a great thing to do. Last time when I was in the US, and someone said to me, “Sadhguru, how do you manifest all this?” I said, “I do not manifest anything. I am just fooling around. I got a very efficient partner [Shiva]. I simply leave it to him, and it happens.”
你们不停地投射愚蠢的想法到这个世界，却不曾想过如何深入发掘你们的内在。
人们都觉得这是一件很棒的事情。上次我在美国的时候，有个人问我，“萨古鲁，你是怎么显化这一切的？”我说，“我没做任何事。我只是到处闲晃。我有一个得力助手【湿婆】。我什么都交给祂了，然后一切就自然而然地发生了。”
Chit Shakti is about touching the dimension of your mind that is pure intelligence – unsullied by memory, unsullied by identification. It is beyond ahankara, beyond buddhi, beyond judgment, beyond divisions – simply there, just like the intelligence of existence that makes everything happen. If you access this, you do not have to worry about what happens or what does not happen. It will happen in a way that you never imagined possible.
Chit shakti 是关于触碰到你大脑的那个纯然临在的维度（纯粹的智慧）——没有记忆，没有个体性（身份认同）。它超越了ahankara, buddhi的维度, 没有评判，没有分别——只是全然存在，就像那个让一切自然发生的（宇宙）智慧。一旦你触摸到这个维度，你不必担心什么会发生，什么不会发生。事情都会以你无法想象的方式自然发生。
Once you have access to your chitta, it is also a multi-pointed telescope. It makes you see things that no one else can see – in every direction. It is your crystal ball. It is a magnifying glass that brings the very core of life close to you. For everyone else, it is far way. Everyone thinks the Divine is somewhere up there. Where exactly, no one knows. All they know is, it seems far away.
一旦你连接到Chitta, 它也是一个多点的望远镜。它可以让你看见别人看不见的事物——从各个角度。它是包裹着你的水晶球。也是一面放大镜，将生命的本质核心吸引过来。对其他人来说，神太遥远了。每个人都认为神在天上的某个地方。具体哪里无人知晓。他们只知道，祂肯定在很遥远的地方。
The moment you start looking at life through your chitta, where there is no memory, there is nokarmic substanceand no division. Suddenly, the Divine is right there, bang on, in your face all the time. You cannot miss it.
一旦你通过Chitta来看待生命，一个没有记忆，没有业力基础，没有分别对立的维度。突然之间，神就在那里。啪地迎面扑来，祂就在你的面前，一直都在。你不会错过祂。
The idea of Chit Shakti is not to keep asking for things. The idea is that if the physical arrangements of life happen easily, you can dedicate more time for your spiritual wellbeing. It would be stupid if just because it happens easily, first you want to be a millionaire, then you want to be a billionaire. The main intention is that your physical life happens more easily, that it does not take your entire time to handle it, so that you will have time to close your eyes and sit. Please make use of it for this purpose.
设计Chit Shakti的初衷不是为了让你一直要求某事，而是希望，当你的物质生活能被轻松自然地安排好后，你能有更多时间致力于内在的幸福。如果你只是因为事情很容易实现，一开始你想当个百万富翁，然后你想当个亿万富翁，这是十分愚蠢的。这个冥想的主要目的是为了让你的物质维度的生活发生得轻松自然，你不必花太多时间去解决它，这样你才能有时间闭上眼睛，静静地坐着。请以此目的使用它。

My life has become beautiful; then joy is easy. People always say now that it’s easy for me because my life is easy. I always want to prove that no matter the situations, the divine is accessible; I have been through very weak times as well. Could this thinking bring suffering? So far suffering has only deepened my devotion and compassion, and I have not been faced with severe traumas.

You need to drop your identifications and do what is needed – not what you want, not what you *think* needs to happen- just what is necessary …

Yes, once we dissolve our identity, we dissovle our ahankar, and we dont operate from our buddhi any more but the cosmic intelligence, the chitta..Thanks Monica..

One time in a day should be enough. There are no instructions as to “how long” you should this. Depends on your discipline and persistence.
