Sadhguru reminds us of our mortality, and looks at how we must do everything in our life like it is the last thing we will do.
萨古鲁提醒我们人终有一死，我们应把每一件事都当作是人生中的最后一件事去做。
Question: Namaskaram, Sadhguru. You said that when we do our Shambhavi, we should do it as if it is the last thing we’ll ever do. But often when I do my practices, I am kind of distracted. Could you give me some advice?
问：你好，萨古鲁。你说过，当我们做Shambhavi（内在工程教授的强大练习）时，应该把它当做是生命中的最后一件事去做。但通常当我做练习时，我就会分心走神。你能给我一些建议吗？
Sadhguru: The nature and process of creation are such that when we are born, we are designated to die one day. But the moment you get educated, you are in a constant rush. You are flooded with so much information that you overlook a fundamental information in your body that reminds you that you are mortal. Every beat of your heart tells you, “You may die.” Cardiac problems are the main cause of death in the world, accounting for over 30% of all deaths. 50,000 people die every day worldwide. That means 50,000 hearts will stop beating today. Some will be given shocks in an effort to kick-start them again, but they will fail. Some will die peacefully.
萨古鲁：造物的本质和进程就决定了，一旦我们出生了，就注定会死去。但一旦你受了教育，你就陷入各种忙碌中。你被如此多的信息淹没，以至于忽略了你身体的一个根本信息，即你终有一死。心脏的每一次跳动都在告诉你：“你会死的”，心脏问题是当今世界死亡的主因，占总死亡数的30%以上。全世界每天有50000人死亡。这意味着今天有50000颗心脏将停止跳动。一些人会通过电击试图重启心脏，但他们会失败。有些人会平静地死去。
Cash in the bank may take you around the world, but to experience life’s juice, the only currency is involvement.
银行里的现金可以带你去往世界各地，但要体验生命的汁液，唯一的媒介就是你的投入。
Right now, all our hearts are beating, but there is no guarantee that they will still be beating in the next moment. Those who died today did not think that they have to die today. They wanted to live too. They had plans. They thought they would go somewhere tomorrow. But suddenly, the heart stopped. If you pay a little attention to the nature of your life, you will see it is very fragile. In all kinds of situations, young people, old people, all kinds of people pass away. You and I are still here. Let’s enjoy the life process, but let’s also see that we are mortal.
现在，我们所有的心都在跳动，但不能保证它们在下一刻仍会跳动。今天死去的人并不认为他们今天得死去。他们也想活下去。他们有计划。他们还想着明天会去某个地方。但突然间，心脏停止了跳动。如果你稍微注意一下你生命的本质，你会发现它是非常脆弱的。在各种各样的情形下，年轻人、老年人、各种各样的人就那样离开了。你和我还在这里。我们要享受生命的过程，但同时也要看到我们都是会死的。
If you know you are mortal, you must do everything in your life – not just Shambhavi – like it is the last thing you do. Look at it like it is the last thing you do – without crying or being emotional about it. Simply remind yourself every moment. Learn to live with death because it is a part of your existence. If you do not consciously live with it, when it comes in front of you once in a way and threatens you, you will freak out. If you were conscious every moment, the value of being alive would be sky-high.
如果你知道你会死，你必须把每一件事——不仅仅是Shambhavii练习——当做你要做的最后一件事。把它看成是人生中的最后一件事——但不要哭泣，不要伤感。只是时刻提醒自己。学会接受死亡，因为它是你存在的一部分。如果你不去有意识地接受它，当它出现在你面前并威胁着你的时候，你会崩溃。如果你每时每刻都意识到这一点，活着的价值将会是无可比拟的。
Doing Shambhavi like it is the last thing in your life does not mean you kill yourself doing it. It simply means that the value of life rises in your understanding. If you do not find great value to your life, what is the point in getting up in the morning at the right time, not eating right away and doing all this yoga? Only if you have realized the value of your existence, you want to do something that takes you to your ultimate possibility.
把Shambhavi当成你生命中的最后一件事，不是说你拼了命去做。它只是意味着在你的理解中，生命的价值提升了。如果你不认为你的生命有多大价值，那么每天早晨在合适的时间起床，第一件事不是吃饭而是做瑜伽，这么做又有何意义呢？只有当你意识到你存在的价值，你才会想做一些能把你带往终极可能的事。
Whatever you do, only if you realize the value of your existence, you will put your everything into it. Otherwise, you will do everything without involvement. The essential reason for lack of involvement is you have not realized the value of your existence. Otherwise, naturally you would put your best into everything you do. Only to the extent that you are involved will life offer you its juice. Cash in the bank may take you around the world, but to experience life’s juice, the only currency is involvement. No involvement, no juice. If you refuse to drink the juice of life, why are you alive?
无论你做什么，只有当你意识到你存在的价值时，你才会把你的一切都投入其中。否则，你做什么事都无法真正投入。缺乏投入的根本原因是你没有意识到你存在的价值。否则，你自然会竭尽全力地投入到你所做的一切中。取决于你投入的程度，生命将相应呈献给你它的汁液。银行里的存款可以带你环游世界，但要体验生命的汁液，唯一的媒介就是投入。没有投入，就没有汁液。如果你拒绝品尝生命的汁液，那你为什么要活着呢？
Every piece of life is here to experience life. The only way to know and experience life is through involvement. If you do not get involved because you do not like the people who are here, and you wait for some ideal people to get involved with, you will see how many problems you will have with those “ideal” people. When you meet God, maybe you can show more involvement, but until then, at least practice involvement with the people who are here now. It does not matter whether the situation is to your liking or not, whether you approve of it or not.
每一个生命来到这里都是为了体验生命。投入是了悟和体验生命的唯一途径。如果你不想参与和投入是因为你不喜欢这里的人，你在等着理想中的人来，那你会看到，你对那些“理想”的人也会有无数问题。当你遇到神时，也许你可以表现出更多的投入度，但在那之前，至少你得和现在这里的人先练习一下，如何变得投入。不管那个情形你喜欢与否，不管你赞成与否。
Involvement does not mean you have to do what everyone is doing. Involvement simply means you do not ignore anything. It does not mean you have to do a particular thing – it is the way you are. If you get involved, every moment of your life will be a new opening. Tomorrow morning’s Shambhavi will be a fantastic experience. But having a fantastic experience with Shambhavi is not important. What is important is that every day, it opens up new terrain for you.
投入并不意味着你要做每个人都在做的事情。投入只是意味着你不忽视任何事情。它也不意味着你必须做某一件特定的事——投入应该成为你的存在方式。如果你投入，你生命中的每一刻都将是一个新的开始。明天早晨的Shambhavi练习将是一次奇妙的体验。但是这种体验并不重要，重要的是，每一天，它都为你开辟一片新的天地。
Love&Grace,
Sadhguru
