如是說999

Sadhguru: The simple process of life which one believes, hopes, and tries to plan and work out as a very sweet process, can easily be turned around in a moment. What is very sweet and beautiful can become very bitter and painful.

萨古鲁：一个人所相信，期望和计划的十分甜美的简单的生命过程，可以很轻易的在一瞬间被颠覆。十分甜蜜美好的事情可以变得非常痛苦。

Human beings have enough intelligence to understand that the very way life is structured is such that if one small thing goes upside down, everything goes upside down with one’s life.

人有足够的智慧去领悟到生命的运行方式就是，哪怕一个细小的事情出现混乱，一人的生命也会完全颠覆。

It is not necessary that you have to be struck down by death or disease or some other calamity. It can happen in so many ways.

这并不是指你一定要被死亡、疾病或者其他灾难所击倒，颠覆生命的方式可以有很多种。

It happened on a certain day, a young woman came back from a date looking very sad. The mother asked, “What happened?” The girl said, “Anthony proposed to me today.” The mother asked, “Why are you unhappy then? You must be very happy.” “No mom, he’s an atheist. He doesn’t believe in God, he doesn’t even believe that there is hell.” The mother replied, “You just marry him. Between the two of us we will prove him wrong!”

故事发生在某一天，一位年轻姑娘神色悲伤地约会回来。母亲问她， “ 发生什么事了？ ” 女孩回答说， “ 安东尼今天向我求婚了。 ” 母亲接着问道， “ 那你为什么不高兴？你应该非常高兴才对啊。 ”“ 不，妈妈，他是一个无神论者。他不相信上帝，他甚至不相信地狱的存在。 ” 母亲回道， “ 你只管嫁给他。我们两人共同努力就会证明他是错的！ ”

It is not that some great calamity has to happen. The simple process of life can turn so bitter and so miserable if just a few things are not in place.

不一定要发生一些重大的灾难，只要一点事情出现混乱，生命就会变得如此的苦涩和痛苦。

Unfortunately, most human beings don’t look at their life with any sense of depth unless something goes wrong. They don’t wake up out of their own intelligence. They just try to live as frivolously as possible.

不幸的是，除非出现了一些波折，大多数人是不会去深刻地审视他们的生命的。他们自己的智力没有唤醒他们。他们只是尽可能肤浅地活着。

The Only Certainty

唯一的确定性

Life is constantly uncertain. About life you can have a million doubts. “Will I become rich or not? Will I become educated or not? Will I become enlightened or not?” But death is a hundred percent certainty. There is no doubt about that. With death, there is no question.

生命始终是不确定的。对于生命你会有一百万个疑问。 “ 我是否会变得富有？我是否会变得有教养？我是否会开悟？ ” 但是，死亡是百分之百确定的。对于这一点没有任何疑问。关于死亡，没有人会去质疑。

So, why sit on uncertainty instead of certainty? A spiritual process begins only when you start becoming aware of your death. You do not become spiritual because you think of God. You seek God because you want to be happy or you want to run your business well or you want to go to heaven  because you made a hell out of yourself!

所以，相比活得确定，为什么要活得不确定呢？只有当你开始意识到你的死亡时，修行才真正地开始。你不会因为想着上帝而充满灵性。你追寻上帝是因为你想要变得快乐，或者你想把事情处理好，或者你想上天堂，因为你已经把你自己弄得一团糟了。

If you knew that you are like a flower that blooms in the morning and dies in the evening then you would not miss a single flower on the way.If you look at death, it will put everything in its proper perspective.

要是你知道你就像一朵早上盛开，傍晚凋零的花，你就不会错过人生路上的每一朵花。如果你能面对死亡，那么它会把一切都放在正确的视角上。

Your fantasies will collapse, reality will rule. If your fantasies rule your mind, you do stupid things. Only if reality rules your mind, you behave sensibly in the world.

你的幻想会破灭，现实会占据你的头脑。如果幻想占据了你的头脑，你就会做出愚蠢的事情。只有你的头脑被现实占据，你才能有觉知地活在这个世上。
