Suffering, although seemingly inevitable,is optional and self-inflicted, is what Sadhguru explains in this piece. Whilewe may not have absolute control over the situations around us, we do have thepower to choose how we experience and respond to them.

苦難雖然看似不可避免，卻是可選擇、自我造成的，這就是薩古魯在這篇文章中所解釋的。或許我們無(wú)法絕對(duì)控制周?chē)那榫?，但我們確實(shí)有權(quán)力選擇去如何經(jīng)歷及回應(yīng)。

Questioner: I come from a familywith a stream of incredible disasters. How to help people who onlysuffer? 

發(fā)問(wèn)者：我來(lái)自一個(gè)有著難以置信又災(zāi)難頻繁的家庭。如何幫助這些受盡磨難的人？

Sadhguru: This may not sound compassionate to you, but you mustunderstand this – do you want solace, or do you want a solution? If you want asolution, there is a certain way to handle it. If you want solace, I can saycomforting, nice things, but that is not a solution. It makes you comfortablefor a moment; the next moment, it will be the same thing again. If you want asolution, you need to understand, you are only suffering your memories. You are notsuffering life.

薩古魯：這聽(tīng)起來(lái)可能不太有同情心，但你必須明白這一點(diǎn)—你是想要安慰，還是想要一個(gè)解決方案？如果需要解決方案，要有特定處理方法。如果你只想安慰，我能說(shuō)安慰好聽(tīng)的話(huà)，但這并非解決辦法，只會(huì)讓你感到暫時(shí)舒服;下一刻起又將是同樣的事情。如果你想要解決方案，你必須明白，你只是受苦于你的記憶，并非痛苦的生活。

Suffering is entirely your making. Other peoplecan create situations; they cannot make you or me suffer. 

受苦完全是你所選，他人可以創(chuàng)造情勢(shì);但他們不能讓你我痛苦。

Yourmemories exist in two places – one is your body, another one is your mind. Bothare accumulations that you created over a period of time. It is like theclothing you wear… right now, I am wearing lose clothing, so I am constantlyaware of it. Suppose I was wearing very tight nylon clothes; after some time, Iwould not know which my skin is and which my clothing. That is all that hashappened to you – you do not know which is you, which is your body, which isyour mind – it has all become like you, because you are wearing it so tight. Ifyou have done Isha Kriya, youwill know this: “I’m not the body; I’m not even the mind.” If you sit here, andthere is a little space between you and your body, between you and your mind –this is the end of suffering. 

你的記憶存在兩個(gè)地方——一個(gè)是你的身體，另一個(gè)是你的頭腦，兩者都是你創(chuàng)建并累積一段時(shí)期，就像你穿的衣服...現(xiàn)在我正穿著丟失的衣服，而我不斷意識(shí)到這點(diǎn)。假設(shè)我穿著非常緊的尼龍衣服;過(guò)一段時(shí)間，我不知道我的皮膚、衣服是怎樣，這就是發(fā)生在你身上的一切—你不知道哪個(gè)是你，你身體在哪，哪個(gè)是你的頭腦—它變得像你一樣，因?yàn)槟愎萌绱司o。如果你已做Isha克里亞，你就會(huì)知道：'我不是身體;我甚至不是這個(gè)頭腦'。如果你坐在這里，你和自已身體之間，你和自己頭腦之間，有些許空間—這就是受苦的終結(jié)。

You haveonly two kinds of sufferings: physicalsuffering and mental suffering. If you maintain a little distance betweenyou and your mind, this is the end of suffering. This mind is a tremendouspossibility, but most human beings are using it as a misery manufacturingmachine. I even see that today, for whatever reasons, suffering seems to bepopular. When someone talks about pain, people clap their hands; when someonetalks about joy, people laugh at them. 

你只有兩種痛苦：身體上的痛苦和精神痛苦。如果保持你和自己頭腦間有些許距離，這就是痛苦的終結(jié)，這樣頭腦有極大的可能性，但大多數(shù)人正在把它當(dāng)作痛苦的制造機(jī)器。時(shí)至今日甚至看到，無(wú)論出于什么原因，痛苦似乎演變流行。當(dāng)有人談?wù)撏纯鄷r(shí)，人們拍手叫好;當(dāng)有人談?wù)摽鞓?lè)時(shí)，反而人們會(huì)嘲笑。

Even whenyou were children, this happened to you. Your parents were doing this to youunknowingly. Probably you are doing this to your children. If your children arejumping with joy and screaming, you will tell them to shut up. But if they sitin one corner, you will ask them what happened. From that time, they learn thatsuffering brings benefits. But whatever benefits you get, if you are suffering,what is the point? If you are joyful, and you do not get a damn thing – sowhat? 

即便當(dāng)你孩童時(shí)也在你身上發(fā)生過(guò)，你父母在不知不覺(jué)中對(duì)你這么做，也許你正對(duì)你的孩子這麼做，如果你的孩子開(kāi)心時(shí)同時(shí)尖叫又跳躍，你會(huì)叫他們閉嘴。但是，如果他們坐在角落，你會(huì)問(wèn)他們發(fā)生了什么事。從那時(shí)起，他們學(xué)到痛苦會(huì)帶來(lái)好處。但是，無(wú)論你得到什么好處，如果你正在受苦，那有何意義呢？如果你快樂(lè)，卻什麼沒(méi)有得到─那又能怎樣呢？

So do notromanticize your suffering – it is not a great thing. And you are doing ityourself. Whether you are miserable or joyful right now is entirely yourchoice. Other people can create comfortable or uncomfortable situations only onthe outside. Suffering is entirely yourmaking. Other people can create situations; they cannot make you or mesuffer. 

所以不要將你的痛苦浪漫化——這不是一件好事。是自己做到無(wú)論你是痛苦還是快樂(lè)，此刻一切都是你的選擇，他人只能在外在創(chuàng)造舒適或不舒服的情境，受苦完全是自己所選，其他人可以創(chuàng)造出情勢(shì);但他們不能讓你我痛苦。

You are not anyone’s victim; you are a victimof your own making.

你不是任何人的受害者；你是自己制造的受害者。

Sufferingis your choice. You have heard the word “Buddha.” Most of you will think ofGautama, the Buddha, but Gautama is not the only Buddha. There have beenthousands before him and thousands after him, and still are. “Buddha” meansjust this: Bu means buddhi or “intellect,” dha means“one who is above.” One who is above his intellect is a Buddha. One who is inhis intellect, is a non-stop suffering human being. If something happens, theywill suffer; if nothing happens, they will suffer. They know how to makeeverything into suffering. If you were below the mind, you would not suffer somuch. 

受苦是你的選擇，曾經(jīng)聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)'佛陀'這個(gè)詞，你們大多數(shù)人會(huì)想到喬達(dá)摩——佛陀，但喬達(dá)摩并不是唯一的佛，在他之前有成千上萬(wàn)的人，在他之后也有成千上萬(wàn)的人，現(xiàn)在依舊如此。'佛陀'所指意思是：Bu的意思是智慧buddhi或'開(kāi)悟'，dha的意思是'在之上的人'。高于才智的智者才是佛。一個(gè)受困自己智力之人，是不斷受苦的人。如果發(fā)生某事他們會(huì)受苦;如果什么都不發(fā)生，他們也會(huì)受苦，他們知道如何做盡一切而受苦，如果你凌駕于心智之上，你就不會(huì)遭受那麼多的苦。

Othercreatures do not suffer as much as you. For them, if their physical needs aretaken care of, they are quite fine. If the stomach is full, they are good. Butyou are not like that – you suffer hunger one way; you suffer indigestionanother way. Please do not romanticize your suffering. You are not anyone’svictim; you are a victim of your own making. This may not sound verycompassionate to you, but if you want a solution, you must understand thesource of your suffering is you, and you alone. Other people can only createsituations. They may say or do something, but whether you suffer that or not isleft to you.

其他生物不像你那樣受苦，對(duì)它們來(lái)說(shuō)，如果他們的身體需要得到照顧，他們會(huì)好好休息。如果肚子飽餐一切都好，但你并非那樣的—你受苦于饑餓，你也受苦于消化不良。請(qǐng)不要將你的痛苦浪漫化，你不是任何人的受害者，你是自己制造出的受害者，這聽(tīng)起來(lái)可能不太富有同情心，但如果你想要解決方案，你必須明白你的痛苦的根源是自己，其他人只能創(chuàng)造出情勢(shì)。他們可能會(huì)說(shuō)或做點(diǎn)什么，但不管你是否受苦，則由自己決定。

It islike you were going on the street, and someone called you names; let us saythey called you an idiot. You would boil within yourself, “Who is this fool whocalls me an idiot. He is a big idiot; he is…” whatever. At2:00 in the morning, you are still lying in your bed, twisting and turning,still thinking about this guy who called you an idiot. He said just one word andwent away, and it has such an impact on you. Then what he said must be true.Just about anyone can cause misery to you. And if none of them are there, youdo it to yourself. Please, stop this. There is no romance in misery. If you areenjoying a tragic life, then enjoy it; do not complain. 

這就像你在街上走，有人叫你的名字;假定他們叫你白癡，你會(huì)在自己內(nèi)在奔騰，'這個(gè)叫我白癡的傻瓜是誰(shuí)，他是個(gè)大笨蛋;他是.....'。無(wú)論在凌晨2點(diǎn)，你還躺在床上，翻來(lái)復(fù)去，仍想著那個(gè)叫你白癡的家伙。他只說(shuō)一句話(huà)就走了，對(duì)你產(chǎn)生如此大的影響，那他所說(shuō)的一定是真的，任何人能為你帶來(lái)痛苦，如果他們都不在，你做你自己。請(qǐng)就此停止！痛苦中沒(méi)有浪漫，如果你正在享受悲慘的人生，那就享受它;不要抱怨。

Somepeople like romantic movies; some people like comedy; some people like horrormovies. If you like misery, do it, but you must enjoy it. People go to watch aShakespearean tragedy because they enjoy someone else’s suffering. If you likeyour own suffering, enjoy it – it is up to you, but do not create suffering andthink someone else is doing it to you. In today’s world, if someone is physically harming you, you know what to do. Do not think someone is mentally harming you. No one is mentally harming you. They are doing whatthey know best. You are harming yourself. Suppose I know only abuse. I willstand here and abuse you endlessly. The filth is in my mouth, not in yourmind. 

有些人喜歡浪漫電影;有些人喜歡喜劇;有些人喜歡恐怖電影。如果你喜歡痛苦，就去做，但你必須享受它。人們?nèi)タ瓷勘葋喌谋瘎∈且驗(yàn)樗麄兿硎軇e人的痛苦。如果你喜歡自己的痛苦，享受它——由你決定，但不要制造痛苦，認(rèn)為別人正在對(duì)你這樣做。在當(dāng)今世界，如果有人身體上傷害你，你知道該怎么做。別以為有人精神上傷害你，并沒(méi)有人如此，他們會(huì)做他們最擅長(zhǎng)的事，你正傷害自己。假設(shè)我只知道辱罵，則我會(huì)站在這無(wú)休止地辱罵你，污穢出自我口，不在你的腦海里。

So do notget this victim syndrome. You are not a victim of anyone except yourself. It isentirely your own making. Until you see that, there is no way out of it. Thisis the most fundamental thing you need to see: Whatever you are right now andwhatever you are not, is fundamentally your responsibility. Please make thathappen.

所以不要得這種受害者綜合癥。除了你自己，你不是任何人的受害者，這完全是你自己導(dǎo)演的，直到你看到這點(diǎn)前沒(méi)有出路，你必須要看到的最根本的事：無(wú)論此刻你是什么，也不論你不是什么，從根本上來(lái)說(shuō)都是自己的責(zé)任，請(qǐng)做到這點(diǎn)。
