树木是否有助于构建冥想空间?

isha编者按

Sadhguru looks at how plant life is very sensitive and supportive to creating a meditative atmosphere, and speaks of how ecological responsibility is not an obligation, once we realize we are an integrated life.

萨古鲁阐述了植物如何具有极高的敏感性并有助于营造冥想氛围,同时他还谈到一旦我们认识到我们与生态环境是一体的,保护生态环境将不再是一项义务。

Plant life is very sensitive to your emotions and thoughts – especially certain types of plants. Generally, they say the ficus variety, like the banyan tree and others in that family, are very sensitive. This is the reason why they are always chosen for meditative purposes in India, because if you do your sadhana under that tree, it creates an atmosphere, it becomes like a meditation hall by itself.


植物能够敏锐地感受到你的情感和思想——尤其是特定品种的植物。一般来说,榕属植物,如菩提树等,是极其敏感的。这也是为什么在印度常常将这类植物选作冥想之用,因为如果你在菩提树下进行灵性练习(sadhana),菩提树将会营造出一种氛围,它本身会变成一个冥想殿堂。


If you create the necessary energy, plants are very sensitive to it. When we were in the process of working towards the Dhyanalinga, I found that certain plant life were somehow responding and cooperating with the whole process. That was truly incredible. If you have lots of trees and lots of meditation going, it is much easier to preserve the meditative quality in that area because plants and trees retain that quality very easily. There are some trees which are even today, said to be very powerful.


当你创造出某种必要的能量时,植物会敏锐地感受到这种能量。在我们建造迪阿纳灵伽(Dhyanalinga)的过程中,我发现一些植物以某种方式对这整个过程加以回应和配合。这真是太不可思议了。如果在某个区域有很多树木,你在那儿做过多次冥想,那么这个区域更容易保留这种冥想特质,因为植物和树木能够轻易地将这种特质保存下来。时至今日,很多树木据说仍然拥有强大的力量。


There are many legends like this. They say when Gautama Buddha walked, trees bloomed out of season. It could be just a poetic expression but it could also be a fact because it is very much possible. In the Biligiriranga Hills [in Karnataka, South India], there is a tree called Dodda Sampige. It is a very large Sampangi tree which is said to be a few thousand years old. They say Agastya Muni planted this tree and there are many stories about it. Usually, the lifespan of this tree is maybe a few centuries, but this one has lasted very long. You would probably never see a Sampangi tree like this, the way it has knotted up and become so big and massive.


有很多此类的传说。有人说,释迦牟尼(Gautama Buddha)在林间漫步时,树木违背时令地开出了花朵。这可能仅仅是诗意地表述,但也可能是真事,因为这种事情太有可能发生了。在比利吉利兰伽山(Biligiriranga,位于印度南部的卡纳塔克邦)有一棵名叫“Dodda Sampige”的树。这是一棵很大的黄兰树,据说有几千年历史了。有人说是投山仙人(Agastya Muni)栽下了这棵树,关于它的故事有很多。通常,这种树的寿命在几百年之间,但这棵树活了特别长的时间。你很可能从未见过长成这样的一棵黄兰树(Sampangi),它盘根错节向上生长,如此高大如此雄伟。


In this culture, there has been a tradition of preserving trees for thousands of years and treating it as an embodiment of life and wisdom. None of those aspects are well-preserved today and they are mostly gone, but the tradition has been there where people looked up to the tree to realize many things out of that.


在印度的文化中,保护树木的传统由来已有几千年之久,树木一直被看作是生命和智慧的象征。但这些文化传统在当今没有得到很好地保护,大多数已经消失殆尽了。但人们还是会仰望一棵树,从它身上参悟很多的东西,这种传统仍然还在。


Ecology and you 生态和你

I happened to be at an Economic Summit in Europe and a very well-known professor came up to me and said, “Oh, you are that amazing tree planter?” I said, “No, I am not a tree planter.” He replied, “No, no, you planted so many million trees” “Yes, but I am not a tree planter.” Then he asked, “What do you do?” I said, “My work is to make human beings flower.” If human beings flower into a higher level of understanding, awareness and involvement with the environment in which we exist, we will see that we and the environment are not two words, they are just we. To put it extremely simply, as you breathe, what you exhale, the trees are inhaling. What the trees exhale, you are inhaling. Only one-half of the respiratory equipment is in your chest. Another half is hanging up there on the tree. If you do not take up the other half, this half will not exist by itself.


我出于偶然参加了一次在欧洲举办的经济峰会,当时一个著名教授走到我面前说,“噢,你就是那个了不起的植树者吗?”我说:“不,我不是什么植树者。”他回答说:“不对啊,你不是种了几百万棵树吗?”我说:“的确如此,但我并不是植树者。”他接着问:“那你是做什么的?”我回答说:“我的工作就是让人类像花儿一样盛放。”如果人类能够不断成长,与我们所处的环境建立更高层次的理解、认知和联结,我们将会发现自己与周围环境并非两个世界,它们就是我们。简而言之,就在你呼吸的时候,你呼出的气体,正被树木不断吸入,而树木呼出的气体,你正在不断地吸纳。呼吸装备只有一半处在你的胸腔之中,另一半高悬在树上。如果没有另外的那一半,你的这一半也将不会存在。


Right now we are looking at ecological concerns as an obligation to fulfill. It is not an obligation, it is our life. Somewhere we believe only we are life, and everything else is not life. This is happening because the whole experience of life is limited to the physical sensations of life. What one thinks is life is just his body, so he thinks only he is life, and the rest is not. If you are spiritually aware, then you would naturally know that everything is life. No one would have to tell you to protect the ecology. People are talking about ecological awareness today not because of overwhelming love for other creatures, but because they have begun to realize, “My life is under threat right now. If this continues, I will not live and my children will not live. We have to do something about it.” Someone has reminded you that your survival is under threat. This is a very unfortunate way of caring for other life around us.


现在我们把生态保护当作一项应当履行的义务。它不应该是一项义务,它就是我们的生命。我们认定只有自己是生命,其它万物都不是生命。这种想法的产生是由于你的整个生命体验都仅仅局限于身体感受。一个人如果认为所谓的生命仅仅是他的肉体,他就会认为只有自己是生命而其它万物都不是。如果你在灵性上有觉知,那么你自然会知道一切皆为生命。不需要别人告诉你应该保护生态环境。现在人们的生态保护意识并非源于对其它生物的热爱,而是因为他们渐渐意识到,“我的生命现在受到了威胁。如果这种情况维持下去,我将无法生存,我的孩子也将无法生存。我们必须对生态环境做点什么。”直到被提醒了你的生存受到威胁,你才开始关爱周围的其它生命,这是非常可悲的。


Our lives are not separate from each other; our life is an integrated, connected life. How healthy the worms are today will determine how healthy we are tomorrow. Spirituality essentially means an all-inclusive experience. When there is an all-inclusive experience, being concerned and caring about everything around you is very natural because anyone who looks into himself, anyone who turns inward, naturally realizes that his existence and the outside existence are not different.


世间的生命并非彼此分离;世间的生命是相互联结的统一整体。甚至是虫子今天的健康状况也会决定我们明天的健康状况。灵性从本质上意味着一种包容万物的体验。当你拥有了包容万物的体验,关爱你周围的一切就会变成水到渠成的事情,因为无论是谁,只要他开始审视自我和向内观照,他会自然而然地意识到自身的存在与外界的存在并无区别。
