如是說999

Sadhguru speaks about New Year’s Resolutions. Rather than basing your life on man-made time constructs, he speaks about making vision the guiding force in your life.

这篇博文里，萨古鲁谈论了新年决心。与其把你的生活构建在人类创造的时间概念上，还不如让愿景成为你生命的引导力量。

“The New Year is an opportunity and a possibility for newer visions of life. Blessed is the one who has clarity of vision of the here and hereafter.”

“新年是一个为生命带来新的愿景的机会和可能性。那些有清晰愿景的人是幸运的。”

Sadhguru: In this vast existence, there is no such thing as “Old Year” and “New Year”. These are all demarcations that we as human beings have made. Why we have made these demarcations is because we need some measure to our life, some guide, some milestone to tell us whether we are going forward or backward. Now I am this many years old – have I moved forward, have I moved backward? So this is once again a new year, this is time for you to measure, in the last one year have you moved forward as a human being? Maybe your business has gone forward, maybe you made more money, you got your daughter married – that’s not the issue. Have you become a little better human being in one year’s time? So for the coming year, for the New Year what are you going to do? You make up your mind, what you are going to do. Some marker to tell you that in one year’s time you will be a much better human being than you are right now. More joyful, more peaceful, more loving – a better human being in every possible way. This is something that you have to decide.

萨古鲁：在这浩瀚的存在中，没有所谓“旧岁”、“新年”之类的东西。这些全是我们人类自己做的划分。我们之所以做这样的划分，是因为我们的生活需要一些衡量工具，需要一些指导，一些里程碑来告诉我们我是在前进还是倒退。我现在是这么大年纪——我是前进了，还是倒退了？所以，又是新的一年了，你是时候来衡量一下，过去的一年你作为一个人，是进步了还是退步了？也许你的生意有进展，也许你赚了更多钱，你把女儿嫁出去了——这些不是重点。你是否在一年时间中变成了一个好一些的人了？所以，为了即将到来的这一年，为新年，你要做什么？你下个决心。某个你可以衡量的标准，比如在一年的时间里，你会成为一个比现在好得多的人：更加喜悦、更加平和、更加有爱——以每一种可能的方式成为一个更好的人。这是你必须下的决定。

If you feel the world around you – when I say the world, I mean the human part of the world around you – you will see your experience is a cacophony of voices, thoughts and emotions. These voices, thoughts and emotions are all an outpouring of confusions of many different levels and states. With a very distorted perception of the current reality, these voices, thoughts and emotions are formed and expressed. When man is in this level of confusion, when he is subjugated by the misconceptions of reality around him, the pain and suffering that he creates for himself and the people around him is very unfortunate.

如果你觉得你身边的世界——当我说世界，我指的是人类世界——你会发现你的体验是很多声音、念头和情感的混杂。这些声音、念头和情感，是各种不同层次的困惑的流露。对当前事实极度扭曲的认知，就形成了这些声音、念头和情感，并得以表达。当一个人处在这种程度的困惑之中，当他受制于这种对身边事实的误解，他因此为自己和身边的人创造了痛苦和折磨，这是非常不幸的。

What you know as the highest, you just seek that. It doesn’t matter whether it is going to happen or not.

你所知的最高，你就一心去追寻。不管那会不会实现。

We are always trying to create our life based on the current reality that exists around us at this moment. This moment whatever may be with us is not the point. Where we want to go tomorrow need not be connected to where we are right now. What we want as the highest in life, it need not have anything to do with our present situation. If we enslave our visions to current situations, then it is once again settling for what is attainable, what is easy, what you think is possible. It is not in terms of thinking what is possible or not possible. It is just in terms of seeing what is your vision, what is the highest that you can seek in your life.

我们总是试图基于眼前的现实来创造我们的生活。这一刻，不管我们是如何的，都不是重点。我们明天想去的地方，无需与现在所处之地相关。我们在生活中想要的最巅峰，无需与我们目前的境地有任何关系。如果我们的愿景受制于当前情境，那它就仍会限于那些可触可及、简单的、你认为可能实现的东西。不用去管你认为什么是可能的，什么是不可能的。而是去看看什么是你的愿景，你在你的生命中能寻求的最高的东西是什么。

If man has a vision of what he wishes to do with himself and the world around him, it is not beyond his capacity to create it. It may happen in this lifetime, it may take a couple of lifetimes but what we want will definitely come. For that person, for whom his vision of life is clear to him and he just seeks it every moment of his life, the highest things will come and fall at his feet. It is only because man is a bundle of confusion, it is only because man is most of the time seeking what he doesn’t want – things that he really wants never come to him. This lack of vision and will in his life is fundamentally because of a distorted understanding of the world around us.

如果一个人具有想要对自己和身边的世界做些什么的愿景，那么他就有能力去创造它。这个愿景也许会在这一世实现，也许会花几世的时间，但是我们想要的一定会到来。对于这个人而言，他对生命的愿景很清晰，并且他在生活中时时刻刻去追寻，那最高的东西就会到来，落在他的脚边。只是因为人们充满了各种困惑，只是因为一个人大多数时间都在追求自己不想要的——那些他真正想要的就从来不会来到他身边。一个人的生命中缺乏愿景和意志，本质上是因为他对身边世界的扭曲认知。

What you know as the highest, you just seek that. It doesn’t matter whether it is going to happen or not, simply living with that vision itself is very elevating, is itself very liberating, is itself a very joyous process for any person. Whether it is going to happen tomorrow or after hundred years is not the point. But you have a vision and you are not concerned about whether it is possible or not possible. You are not concerned whether it is easy or difficult, you are not concerned whether it is attainable or non-attainable, or in other words, you are not concerned about the result in the end. It is just that you have a vision and you give your life towards it. This is one of the easiest ways to attain the highest also – to simply give yourself to what you want, not caring whether it is going to happen or not. It is a spiritual process by itself.

你所知的最高，你一心去追寻。不管那会不会实现，就纯粹地带着这个愿景生活，这本身就是令人振奋的，就是自由解脱，就是充满喜悦的过程。不管那是明天实现，还是几百年后实现，这不是重点。但是你有一个愿景，你不在乎它有没有可能实现。你不在乎它是容易还是困难，你不在乎它是可触及还是无法触及，或者换句话说，你不在乎最终的结果。你就是有这个愿景，你为之奉献你的生命。这也是获得最高的东西最简单的方法——只是纯粹地为你想要的付出你自己，不关心它是否会实现。这本身就是一个修行过程。

Vision is an important way of transcending limitations within and outside ourselves. If one wants to live here without being burdened by vision, without being burdened by will, then that person should be absolutely innocent. Such a person can simply live here – he does not need any vision. He does not have to have a will about anything, if he is absolutely egoless and childlike. If it is not so, it is very important that man lives with a vision.

愿景，是超越内在和外在的种种局限的一个重要方法。如果一个人想不承载着愿景，不承载着意志，而存在于此，那么这个人应该是纯粹天真单纯的。这样的一个人能够纯粹地存在在此——他不需要任何愿景。如果他是全然地无我，如孩童般天真，他就无需对任何事物持有自己的意志。但如果不是这样，那么一个人就要带着愿景生活，这是很重要的。

It is time to really create a vision within ourselves as to what we really care for, not just for today. If you look deep enough, your vision will be the universal vision. Whether everything else happens or doesn’t happen on the way is not the point – whatever you have known as the highest, simply seeking that with undivided attention. That is a simple way of knowing life here and beyond.

是时候真正地在我们内在创造一个愿景，根据我们真正想要的，而不只是为了今天。如果你看得足够深刻，你的愿景就会成为一个宇宙性的愿景。在这过程中其他一切是否发生，都不是重点——你所知道的最高，不管是什么，就带着全然的专注去追寻。这是一个简单的方式，去了悟当下的，以及超越当下的生命。
