萨古鲁谈你最深的执着是什么?
Sadhguru looks at how teachings about detachment are fundamentally wrong, and the key to going deeper in life is to be absolutely attached to the whole existence.
Isha编者按:萨古鲁阐述了为何关于放下执着的教导从本质上说是错误的,他还谈到让生命变得更深刻的关键是完全地联结于整个存在。
Sadhguru: So many things are being said about attachment being bad and how we should not get attached to anything. Because of these teachings and misunderstandings, and because of the pain that people go through with attachment, there are a lot of questions and hesitation within people.
萨古鲁:人们总说执着是如何不好,我们不应该执着于任何事物。由于这些教导和误解,也由于人们所经历的因执着而带来的痛苦,人们在内在开始产生很多疑问和犹豫。
The bondage with the body is deep. That is the source of all attachments.
身体对你的束缚是很深的。这就是所有执着的来源。
These teachings of detachment and being desire-less have come because of the fear of entanglement. Entanglement always creates pain and suffering within a person. So, somebody gave this foolish solution – be detached. This means that according to them, the solution for life is to avoid life. If someone want to avoid life, they must die; it is very simple. But being alive here and wanting to die – and not dying, is a big torture.
这些关于放下和无欲的教导的产生是由于对纠缠的恐惧。纠缠总是给人的内在带来痛苦和折磨。于是有人就给出了这个愚蠢的解决方法—变得超脱。这意味着对他们而言,针对生活的解决方法就是逃避生活。如果人们想逃避生活,他们必须死去,这很简单。但是此刻活着想死却没有死,这会是很大的折磨。
If you want to live, you need involvement. People think spirituality means you should drop your family. By dropping someone, you will not become spiritual. You may not be fully aware of it, but in so many ways your defense mechanisms and survival techniques are slowly trying to shift your attachment to your ideologies, philosophies, likes, dislikes, and your emotions, which then grow to things around you. This is the real accumulation, the biggest attachment – your personality. And this is what you need to throw; not your wife, child, bank balance or something else.
如果你想活着,你需要参与和投入。人们认为灵修意味着你要放弃你的家庭。通过放弃某人并不能使你变得有灵性。你可能没有充分意识到,在很多方面上你的防御机制和生存技能都在慢慢使你的执着对象转移到你的意识形态、哲学思想、喜好和情绪等,然后又发展为你身边的东西。你的个性才是真正的累积物,你最大的执着。这是你需要抛弃的,而不是抛弃你的妻子、小孩、银行存款或者别的什么。
The Deepest Attachment
最深的执着
When you are young, you seek physical freedom. When you become 35 or 40 years of age, you start saying, “Oh, that was foolish. Emotions and what we share between us is important.” As you get older, you will see these emotions are too entangling and you will not like that. You will want to shift your attachment to God.
当你还年轻时,你追寻着物质自由。当你35或40岁时,你开始说:“噢,这太愚蠢了。重要的是情感和我们互相所分享的东西。”当你逐渐变老时,你会看到这些情绪太过纠缠,你并不喜欢这样。你会想转而执着于神。
You really need to work with your attachment to your own body. If you release yourself from this, you are free from everything.
你真正需要处理的是你对你身体的执着。如果你从这当中释放,你就能从一切中解放。
It must be understood that your deepest sense of attachment is not to your money, house, wife or child. Your deepest sense of attachment is to your own thought and emotion. You may feel your wife, job and child are dear to you, but please see, when your wife, child or the situations around you really go against the way you think and feel, you will drop all of them. You will not drop your ways of thinking and feeling, but you will drop the other person because the other person has stopped fitting into your life. They are in your life only because they have made the compromise to agree with whatever you think and feel.
你需要了解的是,你最深的执着不是你的金钱、房子、妻子或小孩。你最深的执着来自于你的思想和情感。你可能会感觉你的妻子、工作和小孩对你自己而言十分宝贵,但是你需要看到的是,当你的妻子、小孩或你周围的情形与你所想所感的背道而驰时,你会将他们通通放弃。你不会放弃你的思考和感受模式,但你会放弃他人,因为他们不再契合你的生活。他们存在于你的生命中,仅仅是因为他们做出了妥协而同意你所想所感的一切。
You are just using someone as a means or as a victim. It is because you are deeply attached to your body that you get attached to somebody. If you are not attached to your own body, you can be deeply involved but unattached. So, you do not have to work on your attachments with people around you. You really need to work with your attachment to your own body. If you release yourself from this, you are free from everything.
你将他人只是视为一种手段或牺牲品。正因为你深深地执着于你的身体,才使得你执着于某一个人。如果你不执着于你身体,你可以深深投入但却无挂碍。所以,你不需要试图改变你对身边人的依附感。你真正需要处理的是你对你身体的执着。如果你从这当中释放,你就能从一切中解放。
Teachings that say “Do not get attached” are not going to work. Unless experientially it is clearly within you that, “this body is not me”, there is no way you can become unattached from the body.
那些叫你不要执着于任何事物的教导不会起作用。除非从体验上而言你从内在清晰地认识到“这个身体不是我”,否则你无法不执着于身体。
Indra the Pig!
Indra成为猪的故事
There is a nice story about this. Once, Indra, the king of all gods, came to earth seeking pleasure. He chose the form of a pig because generally, in terms of physical pleasure the form of a pig is considered best. He found himself a beautiful female pig, married her and produced dozens of piglets with her. Over time, he got very deeply involved and attached to them.
有一个很不错的故事。有一天众神之王Indra来到人间寻找享乐。他选择化身为猪,因为就物质享乐而言,做一只猪一般被认为是最好的。他给自己找了一只美丽的母猪,与她结合并生了几十只小猪。过了一段时间后,他深陷其中并对它们十分依恋。
The gods waited patiently in heaven thinking it was a short pleasure trip but when Indra did not return for a long time, they came down and saw this whole pig-business in progress. They tried to reason with him to give up the pig’s life and return to the heaven. But Indra was so deeply involved and attached to all this, he just grunted and left!
众神很耐心地在天堂里等着,认为这次的享乐旅程会很短暂,但过了很久Indra还是没有回来,于是他们来到人间观看到这整场猪的闹剧。他们试图说服Indra放弃猪的生活返回天堂。但是Indra是如此地深陷其中并留恋所有这一切,他只是哼哼了两声就走了。
If you can truly get attached to another being, it is wonderful and fantastic but when you get attached to your own body you become so limited.
如果你能真正地依恋于另一个生命,这是很愉快和奇妙的体验,但是当你执着于你的身体时,你会变得很局限。
The gods then decided to kill one piglet hoping that the tragedy would make Indra realize his true nature and return. But, suppose you have five children, and you suddenly lose one, you will cling to the remaining four harder. That is the way. If you lose one more you cling to the remaining three even harder, isn’t it? For every piglet killed, Indra clung to the remaining ones harder. Eventually, the gods killed all the piglets.
于是众神决定杀死一只猪崽,希望这个悲剧会让Indra意识到他的真实本质并返回天堂。但是,假设你本来有五个小孩现在突然失去了其中一个,你会紧紧地抓住剩下的四个不放手。就是这样。如果你再失去其中一个,你会更紧地抓住剩下的三个不放手,对不对?每当一个猪崽被杀死了,Indra就会更紧地抓住剩下的猪崽不放手。最终,众神杀死了所有的猪崽。
But Indra got busy producing more children. Then the gods thought that Indra’s real attachment was his wife so they killed her. Now he was greatly distressed. Soon, his pig friends and relatives suggested he take another wife. And the whole pig-business started again.
但是Indra却开始忙着繁育更多的后代。于是众神认为Indra真正执着的是他的妻子,所以他们杀死了它。现在他变得非常哀伤。不久,他的猪朋友们和猪亲戚们建议他再娶一个。接着整场猪的闹剧又开始上演了。
The gods were now completely at a loss with this and Narada, the wise sage who was passing by and happened to see all this said, “Why did you kill his wife and kids? His attachment is to his body. Destroy the body”. So, the gods cut his body into two halves and Indra came out and said, “What the hell am I doing here?” and returned to heaven.
众神现在不知所措。智慧的圣人Narada从旁边经过正好见到了这一切,他说道:“为什么你们要杀死他的妻子和小孩呢?他执着的是他的身体。毁了他的身体吧。”于是,众神将他的身体一分为二,Indra从中出来后说道:“我这是在这里做什么?”,接着就返回了天堂。
The bondage with the body is deep. That is the source of all attachments. If you can truly get attached to another being, it is wonderful and fantastic but when you get attached to your own body you become so limited. So, you do not have to go on searching for non-attachment somewhere else or distancing this and that in your life. You simply need to know how to distance yourself from your own body. Yoga is a whole complete science, a tool and technology to bring about this sense of separation and freedom from the accumulation of the body.
身体对你的束缚是很深的。这就是所有执着的来源。如果你能真正地依恋于另一个生命,这是很愉快和奇妙的体验,但是当你执着于你的身体时,你会变得很局限。所以,你不需要继续在别处寻找超脱或者远离你生活中的这个或那个。你只需要知道如何让你自己远离你身体。瑜伽是一种完整的科学、工具和技术,能带给你从身体的累积中分离和解放的感觉。
Absolute Attachment is the Key
完全的联结才是关键
Whether you like it or not, in your breath, body and being, you are in an inseparable attachment with the whole. So do not hesitate about attachment; do not listen to all those teachings about detachment. Right now, with all these teachings that attachment is bad, you are hesitating to be involved. Freedom will not come because you make yourself exclusive. Freedom comes only by including everything as a part of yourself. If you include everything as a part of yourself, then you will have no identity left; that is yoga.
无论你喜欢还是不喜欢,就你的呼吸、身体和存在而言,你是完全地联结于整个存在的。所以不要对联结产生怀疑,也不要听从那些关于放下的教导。现在,由于那些指责执着不好的教导,你在犹豫要不要投入。自由不会随着你孤立自己而到来。只有把所有一切都当作你自己的一部分你才能拥有自由。如果你把所有一切都当作你自己的一部分,那么你就不会留下任何身份,这就是瑜伽。
When you get attached to the whole Existence, you are in yoga.
当你联结于整个存在时,你就处在瑜伽之中。
Yoga means attachment. When you get attached to the whole Existence, you are in yoga. Or, when you realize how inseparably you are attached with the Existence, that is your Vishwaroopa – Universality. Let your attachment be indiscriminate; it will lead to bliss. It is selective, prejudiced attachment that causes pain.
当你联结于整个存在时,你就处在瑜伽之中。瑜伽意味着联结。或者,当你意识到你与整体存在是如何不可分离地联结时,你就拥有了宇宙性。如果你的联结是不带分别的,它会带你到极乐。带来痛苦的是有选择的、带偏见的联结。
The beauty and the grandeur of life is known only to one who is indiscriminately and absolutely involved with all that is. This will not only make you attached to everything, but also dissolve the small self that you have created.
只有一个不加区分地完完全全地投入到一切中的人才能体会到生命的美丽和伟大。这不仅会让你与一切联结,而且也消融了你所创造的小我。
