怎样才能快乐？实现快乐生活的10个工具

Sadhguru looks at why joy is our fundamental responsibility and answers a common yet pressing question for many, “How to be happy in life”. He gives us 10 tips towards making this a reality.

萨古鲁讲述了为什么喜悦是我们最基本的责任，并且回答了一个很多人迫切想问的常见问题，“如何才能快乐地生活”。他给出了10个小贴士让快乐变成现实。

 

Sadhguru: When you are fundamentally joyous, when you do not have to do anything to be happy, then every dimension of your life – the way you perceive and express yourself and the world – will change. You will no longer have vested interests because whether you do something or you do not do something, whether you get something or do not get something, whether something happens or does not happen, you will be joyous by your nature. When you are joyous by your nature, your actions will rise to a completely different level.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：当你从根本上喜悦时，当你不需要做任何事就很快乐时，那么你生命中的每一个维度——你感知和表达自己和世界的方式——都会改变。你将不再有既得利益，因为不管你做什么事还是不做，不管你得到了什么还是没得到什么，不管发生了什么事还是没发生，你都从你的本性上感到喜悦。当你从你的本性上喜悦时，你的行为会到达另一个完全不同的高度。

1. See That being Joyful Is Your Fundamental Responsibility

1. 把喜悦看作你的的基本责任

 

The first and most fundamental responsibility for a human being is to become a joyous being. To be happy is not the ultimate aspect of life. It is the fundamental aspect of life. If you are not happy, what else can you do with your life? Only if you are happy, can other great possibilities open up.

人类首要也是最基本的责任就是成为喜悦的存在。快乐不是生命的终极面向。它是生命的基本面向。如果你不快乐，那么你还能用你的生命做什么？只有你快乐了，其他重大的可能性才会开启。

 

Whatever you do, it is only your inner quality that you are going to spread. Whether you like it or not, that is the reality. Unless something of true value happens within you, you cannot do anything of tremendous value to the world. So, if you are concerned about the world, the first thing you must do is transform yourself into a joyous being.

不管你做什么，你传播的只是你的内在品质。不管你喜欢与否，这就是事实。除非真正有价值的东西在你的内在发生，否则你没有能力做出对世界意义重大的事情。所以，如果你关心这个世界，你首先必须做的就是将自己转化为一个喜悦的存在。

 

2. Realize That Joy Is Your Original Nature

2. 意识到喜悦是你的天性

 

It does not matter what you are pursuing in your life, whether it is business, power, education or service, you are doing so because somewhere deep inside you is a feeling that this will bring you happiness. Every single action that we perform on this planet springs from an aspiration to be happy because it is the original nature. When you were a child you were simply happy. That is your nature. The source of joy is within you; you can take charge of it.

无论你在生命中追求什么，不管是商业、权力、教育或者公共事业，你做这些是因为在内心深处你觉得这会带给你快乐。我们在这个星球上每一个行动的动力都来自于追求快乐，因为这是我们的天性。当你还是个孩子的时候，你单纯地快乐着。那是你的天性。快乐的源泉就在你的内在，你可以掌管它。

 

3. Put Things In Perspective  

3. 用正确的视角看事情

 

Today morning, did you see that the sun came up wonderfully well? The flowers blossomed, no stars fell down, the galaxies are functioning very well. Everything is in order. The whole cosmos is happening wonderfully well today but just a worm of a thought worming through your head makes you believe it is a bad day today.

今天早上，你看见太阳绚烂地升起了吗？花儿绽放了，没有星星掉下来，整个星系都运行得很好。所有的东西都井然有序。今天整个宇宙都非常得好，但是一个小念头钻进了你的脑袋里，就能让你相信今天是糟糕的一天。

 

Suffering is happening essentially because most human beings have lost perspective as to what this life is about. Their psychological process has become far larger than the existential process, or to put it bluntly, you’ve made your petty creation far more important than the Creator’s creation. That is the fundamental source of all suffering.

苦难的发生，本质上是因为大多数人没能正确看待这个生命的涵义。他们的心理运作过程远远大过了存在的运作过程，直白地说，你把你微不足道的创造捧得远比创造者的创造更重要。这就是一切苦难的根源。

 

We have missed the complete sense of what it means to be alive here. A thought in your head or an emotion within you determines the nature of your experience right now. And your thought and emotion may have nothing to do even with the limited reality of your life. The whole creation is happening wonderfully well but just one thought or emotion can destroy everything.

我们完全误解了活在这里的意义。你脑子里的一个念头或者你内在的一个情绪决定了你此刻的体验。而你的念头和情绪甚至和你生命的局部实相都毫不相干。 整个创造都运转得非常好，但仅仅一个念头或者情绪就能毁掉一切。

 

4. See The Mind For What It Is

4. 看清头脑的本质

 

What you call as “my mind” is not yours actually. You don’t have a mind of your own. Please look at it carefully. What you call as “my mind” is just society’s garbage bin. Anyone and everyone who passes by you stuffs something into your head. You really have no choice about whom to receive from and whom not to receive from.

你所谓的“我的思想”其实并不是你的。你没有自己的思想。请你仔细看清楚。你所谓的“我的思想”只是社会的垃圾桶。任何一个且每一个路过的人都会给你的脑袋里塞点东西。你真的没法选择接收谁的或不接收谁的。

If you say, “I don’t like this person,” you will receive a lot more from that person than anyone else. You really don’t have a choice. If you know how to process and use it, this garbage is useful. This accumulation of impressions and information that you have gathered is only useful for survival in the world. It has got nothing to do with who you are.

如果你说，“我不喜欢这个人”，你从这个人接收的远比从其他人那里接收的多。你真的没有选择。如果你知道如何去处理和运用这些垃圾，那它就是有用的。你收集到的这些印象和信息的积累仅仅适用于存活在世上。它和“你是谁”没有关系。

 

5. Move From Psychological To Existential

5. 从心理转向存在

 

When we talk about a spiritual process, we are talking about shifting from psychological to existential. Life is about the creation that is here, knowing it absolutely and experiencing it the way it is; not distorting it the way you want. If you want to move into existential reality, to put it very simply, you just have to see that what you think is not important, what you feel is not important.

当我们谈到灵性过程，我们谈论的是从心理层面转为存在层面。生命是关于当下的创造，完全地知晓它并且体验它；而不是任意歪曲它。如果你想进入存在的实相中，简言之，你只需要看清你的想法不重要，你的感觉不重要。

 

What you think has nothing to do with reality. It has no great relevance to life. The mind is just chattering away with nonsense that you have gathered from somewhere else. If you think it is important, you will never look beyond that.

你所想的和现实没有一点关系。它和生命没有丝毫关联。思想只是在唠叨着你从别处收集来的无稽之谈。如果你认为它很重要，你就永远不会看得更远。

 

Your attention naturally flows in the direction of whatever you hold as important. If your thought and your emotion is important, naturally your whole attention will be right there. But that is a psychological reality. That has nothing to do with the existential.

你的注意力自然地流向你认为重要的事。如果你的想法和你的情绪很重要，自然地你所有的注意力都会在那儿。但那是心理层面的现实，和存在层面的实相毫无关系。

 

Suffering is not showered upon us, it is manufactured. And the manufacturing unit is in your mind. It is time to shut down the manufacturing unit.

苦难不是降临在我们身上的，它是被制造出来的。而那个制造装置就是你的头脑。是时候关闭这个制造装置了。

 

6. Stop Pursuing, Start Expressing

6. 停止追寻，开始表达

 

Today we are seeking happiness so vigorously that the very life of the planet is being threatened. Don’t be in pursuit of happiness. Know how to express your happiness in the world. If you look back at your life and see, the most beautiful moments in life are moments when you are expressing your joy, not when you are seeking it.

现在我们正在激进地寻找快乐，以至于这个星球受到了威胁。不要去追求快乐。而要知道如何在世上表达你的快乐。如果你回顾一生，就会看到生命中最美丽的时刻是你在表达自己喜悦的时候，不是在你寻找它的时候。

 

What you save will never be your quality. What you dispense will be your quality. If you save your joy, at the end of your life no one will take account, “She saved every bit of joy in her; she’s the most joyfully dead.” They will say, “This horrible creature never even smiled in her life.” But if every day you dispensed your joy and love, people would say, “Oh she was a joyful and loving being.”

你保留的永远不是你的品质。你给出去的才是你的品质。如果你保留你的喜悦，在你生命的尽头，没有人会认为，“她存下了每一滴喜悦，她是最喜悦的死人。”他们会说：“这个可怕的人一辈子都没笑过。”但是如果每天你都给出你的喜悦和爱，人们会说：“喔！她曾是一个充满喜悦与爱的人。”

 

7. Smile!

7. 微笑！

 

When you get up in the morning, the first thing you should do is smile. At whom? No one. Because just the fact that you woke up is not a small thing. So many millions of people who slept last night did not wake up today, but you and me woke up. Isn’t it great that you woke up? So smile because you woke up.

当你早上起来，你应该做的第一件事就是微笑。对谁呢笑？不需要对任何人。因为仅仅是你醒来了，这就不是件小事。很多人昨晚睡下了而今天没有醒来，但是你和我醒来了。你醒来了，这难道不棒吗？所以微笑吧，因为你醒过来了。

 

Then look around and if there is someone, smile at them. For so many people, someone dear to them did not wake up today morning. Everyone who is dear to you woke up – Wow! It’s a great day, isn’t it? Then go out and take a look at the trees. They didn’t die last night either. You may think this is ridiculous, but you will know the reality of it when someone dear to you doesn’t wake up. Don’t wait till then to realize the value of it. It is not something ridiculous, this is the most valuable thing – that you are alive and everything that matters to you is alive. When on this disastrous night so many people did not wake up and the loved ones of so many others did not wake up, you and your loved ones woke up. Isn’t it a fantastic event? Appreciate it and smile at least. Learn to look at a few people lovingly.

然后看看周围，如果有人，请对他们微笑。对很多人来说，他们亲近之人今早并没有醒来。而你亲近的人全都醒来了——哇！好棒的一天，不是吗？然后去外面看看树。它们昨晚也没死。你可能会认为这很滑稽，但是当你亲近的人没醒来时，你就会明白这个现实了。别等到那时才意识到它的意义。这不是滑稽的事，这是最珍贵的东西——你活着，并且你在乎的一切都还活着。这悲惨的一夜很多人没有醒来，很多他人所爱的人没有醒来，你和你爱的人们却醒来了。这难道不是一件棒极了的事情吗？至少感激并且微笑吧。学着充满爱地看看一些人。

 

8. Remind Yourself To Smile!

8. 提醒自己微笑！

 

For many people, it just takes an hour to forget all this and pretty soon their reptilian brain wants to bite someone. So give yourself a dose once an hour – a reminder of the value of life. If you are very insensitive, remind yourself every half-an-hour. If you are horribly insensitive, remind yourself every five minutes. It takes only ten seconds to remind yourself. You could do it in just two seconds too – “I’m alive, you’re alive. What more?”

对很多人来说，过一小时就忘了这些，然后他们的爬行动物大脑很快就想要去咬别人。所以每小时给自己打一针——提醒生命的宝贵。如果你非常迟钝，每半个小时提醒自己一次。如果你极度迟钝，每五分钟提醒自己一次。提醒自己只需要花十秒钟。你也可以只花两秒钟——“我活着，你活着。还要什么呢？”

 

9. Transform What’s Within

9. 转化内在

 

At present, the quality of your life is not determined by the clothes that you wear, the educational qualifications that you carry, the family background that you come from or the bank balances that you hold. Rather, the quality of your life depends upon how peaceful and joyous you are within yourself.

现在，你的生命质量不取决于你穿的衣服、拿的毕业证书、家庭背景或者银行存款。你的生命质量取决于你的内在有多么平和与喜悦。

 

Definitely, somebody who does not have food and who is deprived of the basic needs for survival can be physically miserable. That needs to addressed. For such people, we must take care of those things first. But for most others, their needs are an endless list. You think the man who is driving the car is happier than the man who is walking on the street? No. It is not decided by what you have. It depends on how they are that moment.

当然，没有食物和缺乏基本生存所需的人可能承受体肤之苦。这是需要解决的问题。对于这样的人群，我们必须先解决那些问题。但对于其他大多数人，他们的需求是无尽的。你认为开车的人比走在路上的人更快乐吗？不，这不取决于你有什么。这取决于那一刻他们的内在状态。

 

10. Stop The Comparison With Others

10. 停止与别人比较

 

Most people are miserable not because of what they don’t have. It is simply because they are comparing themselves with someone else. You are driving a motorbike, you see somebody in a Mercedes and you make yourself miserable. For someone on a bicycle, he sees you on a motorbike and that is a limousine for him. Somebody walking on the street looks at the bicycle and thinks, “Wow, if I just had that, what I would have done with my life!” It is a foolish game and it is just going on.

大部分人痛苦不是因为他们缺少什么。仅仅是因为他们拿自己与别人比较。你骑着摩托车，看到别人坐在奔驰里，你就使自己痛苦了。一个骑自行车的人看见你骑着摩托车，那对他来说就是个豪华房车。一个走在街上的人看到了那辆自行车，就想：“哇，如果有那个，我一生能做多少事啊！” 这是个愚蠢的游戏，并且它一直在继续。

 

All those people who depend on external situations to be happy will never know true joy in their lives. It is definitely time we look inward and see how to create personal wellbeing. From your own experience of life you can clearly see that true wellbeing will come to you only if your interiority changes.

那些让外在条件决定自己快乐的人，一生都不会了解他们生命中真正的喜悦。真的是时候向内看了，看看如何创造个人幸福。从你的生命体验中，你可以清晰地看到：只有当你的内在改变时，真正的幸福才会到来。

 

If you depend on the outside to bring joy to you, you need to understand, the outside never happens 100% the way you want it. When this is the reality, at least this one person – you – must happen the way you want it to be. If you did happen the way you want yourself to be, the very natural choice is joy. That is not something that you have to pursue. If you fall back into your original nature, joyfulness is the only way you will be.

如果你指望外界带给你喜悦，你需要明白，外界绝不会百分百按你的意愿发生。在这个现实里，至少这个人——你——必须按你的意愿发生。如果你按你自己的意愿发生，最自然的选择就是喜悦。那不是你必须去寻找的东西。如果你回归你的本性，你只会在喜悦中。
