体验真正的幸福的唯一方法就是向内
Sadhguru answers a question on what it takes to sit still for long periods of time, and speaks about the importance of settling the mind, body, emotion and energies.
萨古鲁回答了如何能长时间静坐的问题，并谈到了让头脑、身体、情感和能量安定下来的重要性。
Question: Sadhguru, I wish I could simply sit for long hours, but I am just not able to keep my body still. How can I overcome this limitation?
问：萨古鲁，我希望我能长时间静坐，但我就是无法保持我的身体不动。我怎样才能克服这个限制呢?
Sadhguru: To sit still, definitely your body needs to be conditioned – hatha yoga is towards that. But even if your body is in a good condition, you still will not be able to sit still, unless you settle some other aspects.
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：坐着不动，你的身体肯定需要调教——哈他瑜伽就是为了这个。但即使你的身体状况很好，除非你解决了其它方面的问题，否则你还是不能安静地坐着。
There are eight limbs of yoga - yama and niyama, asana, pranayama,pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. They are not steps – they are limbs. If you had eight limbs, which one to move first is your choice, according to your need. Is there a rule which limb to move first? Since you are from India – do not think you must always put your right leg first. There are certain aspects of life where putting your right leg first is better, and there are other aspects where putting your left leg first is better. Which leg to move first depends on the activity. Similarly, which limb of yoga to use first depends on where you are.
瑜伽有八支体系——yama and niyama、asana（体式）、pranayama（呼吸法）、pratyahara（制感）、dharana（专注）、dhyana（禅那）和samadhi（三摩地）。它们不是阶梯，而是肢体。如果你有八条腿，根据你的需要，你可以选择先移动哪一条。先移动哪条肢体有规则吗？既然你来自印度——不要认为你必须总是先迈出右腿。在生活的某些方面，先迈出右腿会更好，而在另一些方面，先迈出左腿会更好。先移动哪条腿取决于活动。同样的，先用瑜伽的哪个肢体取决于你在哪里。
If you want to sit still, just working on your body is not good enough – you have to work upon your mind too.
如果你想坐着不动，仅仅对你的身体下功夫是不够的——你还必须对你的头脑下功夫。
For a long time in the history of humanity, the body was the strongest aspect and the biggest hurdle. Therefore, people were put through hatha yoga first. A few hundred years ago, only 5-10% of people had mental problems. Others only had physical problems. Even today, in the villages, most people only have physical problems, not mental problems. But generally, in the last few generations, people have had more mental problems than physical problems, because they use their mind more than they use their body. This is a big shift for humanity. Until 100 or 200 years ago, human beings used their body much more than their mind.
在人类历史上，很长一段时间里，身体是最突出的方面，也是最大的障碍。因此，人们首先进行哈他瑜伽。几百年前，只有5-10%的人有精神问题，剩下的都只有身体问题。即使在今天，在农村，大多数人只有身体上的问题，而不是精神上的问题。但总的来说，在过去的几代人里，人们的心理问题比身体问题要多，因为他们对大脑的使用比身体要多。这对人类来说是一个巨大的转变。直到100或200年前，人类对身体的使用都是远远超过大脑的。
Since I am a contemporary mystic, I am looking at people who are here now. As their problems are more mental than physical, we generally start off withkriyas and meditation, which mainly work on the level of energies and mind, and only then go into hatha yoga.
因为我是一个当代神秘家，所以我关注的是现在在这里的人们。由于他们的问题更多是精神上的而不是身体上的，我们通常从kriyas（克里亚）和冥想开始，这主要是在能量和头脑层面上下功夫，然后才进入哈他瑜伽。
If you want to sit still, just working on your body is not good enough – you have to work upon your mind too. Particularly for this generation, focusing on settling the whole system – mind, emotions, body, and energy – is important. It is a wrong perception that people of today are more brilliant than people of the past. It is just that people’s minds are more out of control today because of haphazard use.
如果你想坐着不动，仅仅对你的身体下功夫是不够的——你还必须对你的头脑下功夫。特别是对这一代人来说，让整个系统安定下来，包括头脑、情感、身体和能量，是很重要的。认为今天的人比过去的人更聪明是一种错误的看法。只是现在人们的头脑因为随意使用而更加失控。
The way our education system is structured, it will invariably lead to disturbed minds. A child is going from reading poetry to mathematics – both are connected, but there is no one to make the connection. From mathematics, they go to music – both are connected, but there is no one to make the connection. From music, they go to chemistry – they are connected, but there is no one to make the connection, because the music department and the chemistry department do not get along.
如今我们教育体系的构架，必定会导致思维混乱。一个孩子从诗歌到数学——两者都是有联系的，但没有人把它们联系起来。从数学到音乐，两者有联系，但没有人把它们联系起来。从音乐到化学，它们是相互联系的，但没有人去把它们联系起来，因为音乐系和化学系合不来。
Everything is taught in disjointed ways because after all, no one is studying with a passion to know. Everyone is studying to pass the examination and get a job. This is a very destructive way of educating yourself and a pathetic way to live. But no matter how senseless it is, the majority of people in the world have chosen to live like that.
一切都是以杂乱无章的方式教授，因为毕竟，没有人带着对知识的热情去学习。每个人都在为通过考试和找到工作而学习。这是一种极具破坏性的教育方式，也是一种可悲的生活方式。但是，无论这多么愚蠢，世界上大多数人都选择了这样活着。
Recently, I was at a very high profile evening event, where alcohol was being served in a corner. The host said, “Sadhguru is here, let’s not have alcohol served.” But some people could not keep their hands off it. There was a minister who came and said, “I’m sure Sadhguru is a man of the world – he won’t mind.” I said, “When did the whole world get drunk?” Today, it is made out like if you are a man of the world, you must drink, otherwise, you do not belong to this world.
最近，我参加了一个非常引人关注的晚宴，在一个角落里有酒水提供。主持人说：“萨古鲁来了，我们不要喝酒。”但有些人就是忍不住。这时一位牧师来了，他说：“萨古鲁是个通晓事理的人——他不会介意的。”我说，“什么时候全世界都喝醉了？”今天，如果你还是个通晓事理的人，你必须喝酒，否则，你似乎就不属于这个世界。
We are culturing human minds in a completely wrong way. Then how can we expect them to be peaceful and blissful? It will not work. Unless you do the right things, right things will not happen to you. If your body is not at ease simply sitting here, obviously, something is not okay with it, even if you are medically certified as normal. I was surprised to know that according to the medical textbooks in the United States, going to the toilet twice a week is considered normal. According to yogic culture, yogis should go to the toilet twice a day, because excreta should not remain in the system. What should go out must go out at the earliest possible time. First thing when you get up in the morning, it should be done. Twice a week means on an average, you keep it in your body for three days, and you expect your mind to be okay? It will not be okay because your colon and your mind are directly connected.
我们正在以一种完全错误的方式培养人类的头脑。那么我们还如何能指望他们平静喜悦呢？这是行不通的。除非你做正确的事，否则正确的事就不会发生在你身上。如果你的身体坐在这里就不自在，很明显，有些地方是不正常的，即使医学证明你是正常的。我很惊讶地发现，根据美国的医学教科书，一周上两次厕所被认为是正常的。根据瑜伽文化，瑜伽士应该每天上两次厕所，因为排泄物不应该留在你的系统里。该出去的东西一定要尽早出去。早上起床的第一件事就是把它做完。一周两次，意味着你把它放在你的身体里三天，然后你指望你的头脑没问题？这是不可能的，因为你的结肠和你的头脑是直接相连的。
The colon is at the muladhara, which is the foundation of your energy system. Whatever happens at the muladhara, happens to the whole system, one way or the other – and particularly to your mind. Today’s scientists are arriving at such conclusions because they study the human being under a microscope – piece by piece. Therefore, about every bit, they come to a different conclusion. The whole cannot be perceived from outside – it can only be perceived from within.
结肠在muladhara（海底轮），这是你能量系统的基础。无论在海底轮发生了什么，都会以这样或那样的方式发生在整个系统中——尤其是在你的头脑中。今天的科学家之所以得出这样的结论，是因为他们是在显微镜下一块一块地研究人类的。正因为此，关于每一点，他们都得出一个不同的结论。整体不能从外部感知——它只能从内部感知。
Do your sadhana, change your diet to include more natural foods, and you will see in a couple of months’ time, you will sit still.
做你的练习，改变你的饮食，摄入更多的天然食物，你会看到几个月后，你就能静静地坐着了。
Editor’s Note: Isha Hatha Yoga programs are an extensive exploration of classical hatha yoga, which revive various dimensions of this ancient science that are largely absent in the world today. These programs offer an unparalleled opportunity to explore Upa-yoga, Angamardana, Surya Kriya, Surya Shakti, Yogasanas and Bhuta Shuddhi, among other potent yogic practices.
编者：Isha哈他瑜伽课程是对古典哈他瑜伽的广泛探索，它复兴了这一几乎已消失匿迹的古老科学的各个层面。这些课程提供了一个无与伦比的机会去探索Upa-yoga（乌帕瑜伽）、Angamardana（安伽玛达那）、Surya Kriya （苏利亚克里亚）、Surya Shakti （苏利亚夏克提）、Yogasana（瑜伽体式）、Buhta Shuddih （五大元素净化），以及其它强有力的瑜伽练习。
