萨古鲁：是什么决定我们在人生中获得成功？
What factors decide our success in life? Sadhguru answers the question and looks at what success really means.
哪些因素决定我们在人生中能否成功？萨古鲁回答了这个问题，并探讨了成功的真正含义。
If we want to succeed in life, what plays a major role – fate, God, effort or luck?
如果我们想在人生中取得成功，哪个因素是最主要的——命运、神、努力、还是运气？
Sadhguru: Maybe all of them, but in what proportion? When you say fate, obviously it is something you cannot do anything about. When you say luck, again it is something you cannot do anything about. God is also not something you can do anything about. The only thing that is in your hands is effort. Put one hundred percent into your effort and what happens, happens. Don’t leave proportions of your energy and your capability to luck¸ God, fate, and all these things – that is not your business. If there is such a thing, it will act. Your business is only effort, and the effort has to be incisive; it should be focused and calibrated. Simply creating effort is foolish. Hard labor alone is not going to get you somewhere. The right kind of action, timing and place are all important.
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：也许都有影响，但各个因素的影响占多大比例？你说到命运，显然那是你无法左右的；你说到运气，同样你也无法左右；神也不是你能左右的。你唯一能掌握的就是努力。百分之百地去努力，发生什么便让它自然发生。不要把你的精力和能力留给运气、神、命运以及其他类似的东西——那些你管不着。如果真有这些东西，它会自己起作用。你唯一要做的就是努力，而且你的努力必须要精准，要集中并且经过校准。单纯去努力是很愚蠢的，光蛮干不会让你收到成效。恰当的行动、天时、地利都很重要。
For these things to happen, you need perception and intelligence. That is all you must do in your life – constantly look for ways to enhance your perception and intelligence. The rest will anyway happen. And this is the one thing that humanity is unfortunately not doing.
为此，你需要领悟力和智慧。你在生命中必须要做的就是这个——不断寻找提升领悟力和智慧的方法。剩下的反正都会发生。很不幸，这一点人类恰恰没有做到。
For example, 25 years ago, everyone wanted to become a doctor. If you wanted to study, the first choice was medicine. Let us say you became a doctor, but everyone started coming to yoga programs and stopped having to go to doctors. Business would go down. It would no longer be a good profession to go into. Anyway, very few people are becoming doctors because they want to become doctors. There are a few who really want to be doctors, and who understand the human system and serve people, but others are becoming doctors because they think it is lucrative. It is quite disturbing for me that someone’s sickness is a lucrative business, because you would not want everyone to become healthy.
比如说，二十五年以前，每个人都想当医生。如果你想求学，首选的就是读医。假如说，你成为了一名医生，但每个人都开始上瑜伽课，然后不看医生了，于是生意下滑，这个行业就不再那么热门了。反正只有少数人是因为本身想当医生而去当医生的。有少数人是真的想当医生，想了解人体系统并服务大众，但是其他人当医生是因为觉着可以赚大钱。靠别人的病痛赚取利润，这让我很不安，因为那样你就不会想让每个人都变得健康。
No Recipe For Success
成功无定法
Do not try to put up a recipe for your success. Real success happens when you use yourself to your full potential. It does not matter whether you become a doctor, politician, a yogi or whatever; success means you are living your life to your full potential. If that has to happen, you need perception and an active intelligence. “How do I grow my intelligence?” Don’t worry about that. The important thing is to enhance your perception. If you are able to see life just the way it is, you have the necessary intelligence to conduct it well. If you are not able to see life the way it is, your intelligence will work against you. Intelligent people on this planet are generally the most miserable people. This is simply because they have an active intelligence but no perception of life.
不要为你的成功设定一套法则。真正的成功发生在你将自己的潜力全部发挥出来的时候。不管你是当一个医生、政治家、瑜伽士还是别的什么，成功意味着你活出了自己的全部潜力。要做到这点，你需要领悟力和活跃的智慧。“如何增长自己的智慧？”不要担心这个，重要的是提升你的领悟力。如果你能如实地看待生活，你自然会有必要的智慧过好生活；如果你不能如实看待生活，你的智慧便会跟你作对。在这个世界上，聪明人往往也是最悲惨的人，原因就是他们虽然有活跃的智慧，但却缺乏对生活的领悟力。
Never think, “I want to be successful.” Just see how to make yourself into a full-fledged being, and it will find expression.
永远不要想 “我想要成功”。只需要关心如何让自己成为完全绽放的生命，然后它自会展现出来。
People today are trying to broaden their minds, which may make one socially successful, but not truly successful. If you want to be truly successful, you must be able to see everything just the way it is, without distortions. If you can see everything just the way it is, life becomes a play, a game. You can play it joyfully and you can play it well for sure. If you can play it well, people will say you are successful.
当下，人们都在努力扩充头脑，这或许会让一个人在社会层面取得成功，但不会让他获得真正的成功。如果你想真正成功，你必须要能如实看见一切事物，毫无扭曲。如果你能如实看见一切，生活就会变成一出戏，一场游戏。你可以玩得很开心，也可以玩得很好，这是毫无疑问的。如果你玩得好，别人就会说你成功了。
You should not be aspiring for success. It is a miserable way to structure your life. You will simply cause pain and suffering to yourself and everyone because your idea of success right now is that everyone should be below you, while you are on top.
你不应该去渴求成功，那样去安排人生是很糟糕的。你只会给自己和别人带来痛苦，因为目前你对成功的定义是任何人都应该不如你，唯独你自己高高在上。
This is not success; this is sickness. Never think, “I want to be successful.” Just see how to make yourself into a full-fledged being, and it will find expression. If it finds good expression, people around you will say, “He is a great success!” That’s fine. People should recognize that you are a Success, but you should not be thinking about how to be successful. That is a very wrong way to approach life.
这不是成功，这是病态。永远不要想 “我想要成功”。只需要关心如何让自己成为完全绽放的生命，然后它自会展现出来。如果展现得好，周围人就会说，“他获得了了不起的成功！”这没问题。别人可以认出你成功了，但你自己不能想怎么样去成功。那样生活是非常错误的。
Living Life to the Fullest
活出生命的全部
Once you have come as a human being, the potential of what it means to be human – all the dimensions of who you are – must be experienced. Only then would I say you are successful. And the ability to explore that potential, the daring to explore that potential, will come to you when you come to a state within yourself where there is no fear of suffering, that no matter what the life situation is, your experience of life will not alter itself.
生而为人，作为人的所有潜力——你的所有维度——都应该被体验到。只有那时，我才会说你成功了。去探索那一潜力的能力，去探索那一潜力的勇气，只有当你心里没有了对痛苦的畏惧时才能具备，也就是无论外在情境如何，你对生命的体验都不会改变。
Right now, Isha is involved in two dozen social projects. Some of them are mega-size projects in Tamil Nadu and the rest of the world. But I am not even concerned about the success of my activity. If they happen well, they will be beneficial for many people. But even if everything fails, I will still be blissful. I will do my best, there is no question about that because I have nothing to lose and nothing to gain whichever way, but the success of the activity depends on a variety of situations, and on cooperation from millions of people. However, what happens to these projects or how successful they are in terms of the world’s eyes will not determine my experience of life.
目前，Isha涉足了二十多个社会项目。有些是在泰米尔纳德邦（Tamil Nadu）和世界其它地方开展的超大项目。但我对自己的活动能否取得成功毫不关心。如果进展得好，会造福许多人；但即便一切都失败了，我仍然会很喜悦。我会尽自己最大努力，这一点是毫无疑问的，因为无论怎样，我都既没有什么好失去的，也没有什么好得到的，但活动能否取得成功则取决于诸多条件，以及数百万人的合作。但是，这些项目会怎么样，以及在世人眼中有多成功都不会决定我对生命的体验。
If you have to find fulfillment, if you have to know the joy of doing something, you will only know it when your action is total – one hundred percent. In everything that you are doing, if you are absolutely one hundred percent, you will notice your action will have a certain sense of exuberance. My activity stretches for almost 18 to 20 hours a day, seven days of the week, 365 days a year. Maybe in someone else’s mind this would look like slavery. It is not so for me because I spend my days in absolute exuberance, and that is so for a lot of people around me. This is success, if you want to name it that way, but what I would say is, this is life.
如果你要获得满足感，如果你想品尝到做事情的乐趣，只有当你全情投入时才能体验到——百分之百投入。无论你做任何事情，如果你是百分之百地投入，你会发现你的行动会有一种活力。我每天的活动长达十八到二十个小时，每周七天，一年三百六十五天都如此。可能在别人看来这像是奴役，但我并不这么感觉，因为我每天都充满活力地度过，我周围很多人也是如此。这才是成功，如果你想这么说的话。但我会说，这才是人生。
【思考】
周六天实验室出游，爬山变成了漂流，3个景点缩减为2个。估计也就温泉酒店是最开心的时刻，因为不用在坐车2小时看尽min了。坐车做很久，真的累，舟车劳顿的累。
也看到了各式各样的人物形象，活灵活现在你的面前。不觉大千世界，有趣无比。
吃饭的时候，有人喜欢和老师坐一起，说说笑笑敬下酒。有人喜欢坐的远远的，自己埋头吃就好。
车上的时候，有人可以拿着麦一直唱一直唱，随时评价其他人的唱法。也有人默默无闻一直安静的坐着。
演讲的时候也一样，有人点到为止，有人详细无比。有人视时间限制为粪土，也有人是视为圭皋。然后你会发现，当自我意识庞大的时候，会轻视其他所有事情，但自我意识逐渐变小的时候，一切其他事物就变得庞大起来。安安静静的去观看，而不再是去努力当主角。因为有些人是子带偶像包袱、或者说主角光坏的，希望所有的光和热都能集中在他们的身上，否则会觉得非常不舒服。所以也相对的外向，想要去获得大奖的肯定，来指挥引导大家的方向。但同时，很多机会什么的也不愿忘记，一定要自己啦捏在手里才觉得实在。非常强调自己所实现的内容，也想要别人时刻记得或者肯定。才逐渐发现说，确实，光坏久了，就忍受不了寂寞。
也从颁奖里看出来世事无常与有趣。本有优秀的小伙伴，却被匿藏了。得奖的开心，也是想要拿到那个荣誉的当仁不让，得了觉得实至名归，没得觉得，自己也做的还挺好的。时刻所能看到的都是我做的怎样，我已经做的如何如何了，却未想过其他的内容。
作为旁观者，看这些还蛮有趣。不论你提出什么，一定会有人反对不支持。那最终的决定都是那个领导人所决定的。并不能非常准确的代表大家。而且很多时候，老师索能看到的，也一定的局面的。大家都想要展示给老师各类自己的成果却忘记了偶尔也需要韬光养晦。
或许，这就是一个卷的时代当中的焦虑吧，大家都想要优秀，成功，想要最少 的成本换取最大的利益。却忘记了初心来自哪里。
或许，这就是停留在头脑里的聪明吧，而无法说是智慧。
