If we eat right and do certain things with your body, you can drop your sleep quota.
如果你吃对了，并对身体做某些事，你就可以减少睡眠时间。
I am getting lazy and I am sleeping averaging somewhere around four-and-a-half hours now
我越来越懒了，我现在平均要睡四到四个半小时左右了。
Interviewer: What type of food we should eat so that our life reaches its full potential for a college or a school going student?
提问者：我们应该吃什么类型的食物才可以使一个大学生或者在读学生的生命实现最大的潜能？
Sadhguru: So what kind of food? We must understand this food is not a religion, food is not a culture, food is just the fuel for this machine. Yes? There may be cultural aspects to the tastes. There may be even religious tinge to the food over a period of time but essentially food is fuel for this body.
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：什么样的食物？我们必须明白这点，食物不是宗教，食物不是文化，食物只是这台机器的燃料，对吗？可能在口味方面会受文化影响，甚至可能在某段时期食物还有宗教色彩，但是本质上，食物是身体的燃料。
So with what kind of food will it function with minimum struggle within itself and maximum impact? So suppose you buy a patrol car and pump diesel into it, it may still roll around but not at its optimum. Similarly, various foods you can eat and still somehow it functions. But those communities which have eaten with care, you can clearly see a distinct difference in the way they function, the levels of intelligence, and whatever.
所以，什么样的食物能让身体在内部以最小的阻碍运行并产生出最大的效用？假设你买了一辆汽油车，而你向里面注入柴油，它可能仍会运转，但是不会是它的最佳状态。同样地，你也可以吃各种的食物，并且身体也能凑合运转。但是那些十分注意饮食的群体，你能明显看出他们活动的方式、智力水平，以及任何方面都有显著不同。
So in India, we prescribed food for different people in different way. If you are doing menial jobs, you eat one way because you need physical muscle. If you are doing other kinds of trading and other kinds of activities, you eat another way. If you are a fighting class, you eat differently. And now if you are into education, spiritual process and subtler aspects of life, then you eat differently.
所以在印度，我们曾给不同的人配不同的食物。如果你是做粗活的，你吃某些东西，因为你需要身体肌肉。如果你从事其它类的贸易或者别的类型的活动，你吃另外一些东西。如果你是作战团体，你吃得又不同。如今，如果你正在接受教育、进行灵性修习或涉足生命其他更精微的层面，那么你吃得也不同。
If you are in education, one of the greatest challenges is to stay focused on something. The goddamn textbook…I’m sorry (Laughter). The wonderful textbook that is written, is written for an average intelligence, it’s a common prescription. It’s not written for the brilliant student. It is written in a way that it’s a common prescription. Everybody gets it. But that textbook how much effort it is taking for a whole lot of people! How they have to read it ten times to get it. But you lie down in your bed and read a love story, you remember every word (Laughter). Yes or no?
如果你正在接受教育，最大的挑战之一是保持注意力集中，这该死的教科书……抱歉（笑），这棒极了的教科书是写给平均智力水平的人的，是一个普适方案，它不是写给那些高材生的，它是按照普适方案编写的，每个人都能读懂。但对于许多人来说，读懂那本教科书需要耗费多少工夫！他们要读十遍才能懂。但是你躺在你的床上，读一个爱情故事，你记得住每一个词（笑）。对不对？
How come? So you don’t lack memory, you don’t lack focus. It’s just that textbook and you, chemistry is not working (Laughs). So what you need is a higher level of focus, a higher level of involvement and another great enemy for a student is because this textbook is such a tranquilizer the moment you open it (Gestures) (Laughter). Go to cinema till 02:00 AM, you’re up. Open the textbook, at 09:00 o’clock (Few Laugh) (Gestures). Right there, you smash into it (Laughs). So sleep is another big enemy.
为什么会这样？所以说，你不缺少记忆力，你也不缺少专注力，只是教科书和你之间没有产生火花（笑）。于是你需要更高的专注力、更多的投入。对学生来说，另外一个劲敌是……因为教科书是高效镇定剂，你一打开它就（瞌睡动作）（笑声）。而你在电影院待到凌晨2点都还很清醒，早上9点打开教科书（笑声）（瞌睡动作）。一打开书，你就一头栽了进去（笑）。所以瞌睡是另一个劲敌。
So what kind of food do you eat so there is no inertia in the body? In yogic way of seeing things, we are looking at tamas, rajas and sattva. Tamas means inertia, rajas means activity but no balance, sattva means absolutely balanced kind of energy. When you are in education, you need a very balanced kind of energy because you have to focus on something which doesn’t naturally interest you. It’s not something that with which your chemistry is gelling. If your chemistry is gelling, you are always focused on that one, isn’t it? Here there is no chemistry, but you have to focus on that. For this you need a balance and a steady mind. For this you need to eat in a certain way.
那你吃什么样的食物可以让身体里没有惰性呢？在瑜伽范畴中，我们要谈的是Tamas, Rajas 以及Sattava. Tamas意味着惰性，Rajas意味着活力但是没有平衡，Sattva意味着完全平衡的能量。当你在读书时，你需要非常平衡的能量，因为你必须专注在某些并不能自然地让你感兴趣的事物上。它不是那种你本能感兴趣的东西。如果你的本能感兴趣的话，你总是能专注在那个上面，不是吗？没有本能的火花，但你却不得不专注于此。为此，你需要一个平衡和稳定的头脑。为此，你需要以某种方式进食。
To put it very simply, food goes through your body through the alimentary canal. From your mouth to your anal outlet, there is a pipe. Through this it runs, going through various stages of digestive process. Many of you are biology people, right? It goes through the alimentary canal. Now it begins with the lip. Here, if you look at this, all the herbivores and carnivores if you look at the animal kingdom, there are herbivores and carnivores are two main segments of animals in the world. One eats vegetable matter, another eats meat. If you look at the alimentary canal, the way it is built, between herbivores and carnivores there’s a distinct difference. Everything in the human being suggests that you are naturally a herbivore but for the sake of survival we became carnivores.
简单来说，食物通过你的身体，通过你的消化道，从你的嘴到你的肛门，有一条管道。食物在这条管道通行，它会经历消化过程的各个阶段。你们有许多是学生物的，对吗？食物经过消化道，从嘴唇开始。就这点，如果你去探究，所有的食草动物和食肉动物.......如果你看看动物王国，有食草动物和食肉动物，这是世界上主要的两类动物。一种吃植物类的东西，另一种吃肉。如果你去探究消化道的构造方式，食草动物和食肉动物之间有非常明显的区别。人体中的一切构造都表明你是天生的草食类，但是为了生存，我们成了肉食类。
If you look at the movement, jaw movement, all the carnivorous animals have only cutting action, herbivores have cutting and grinding action. There are molars but carnivores don’t have widespread molars. They have just incisors, canines, everything looks like cutting teeth. So they do only this. All the herbivores do grinding. What do you have? Both. So you are supposed to chew your food.
如果你去看这个动作（手势），颚骨的运动，所有的食肉动物都只有切断的动作；而食草动物有切断和研磨的动作，有后磨牙(臼齿)。但是食肉动物没有那么多磨牙（臼齿），它们有门牙、犬牙，看上去全都像是用于切割的牙齿。所以他们只能这样做。而所有食草动物有研磨动作。你有什么？两者都有。所以你应该咀嚼你的食物。
Why you are supposed to chew your food is you have enzymes in your saliva, where if you take a little bit of raw rice and put it in your mouth just for a minute, you will see it turns sweet right here because right here carbohydrate is being converted into sugar, right here. So if you eat properly, then we say about thirty to fifty percent of your digestion should happen in your mouth. So this part of the digestive system is expecting half-digested food or partially digested food. But right now, the way we’re eating is mostly we are putting not only undigested food but partially destroyed food.
你该咀嚼你的食物的原因是，你的唾液里有酶类，如果你拿一点生米放在嘴里就一分钟，你会发现它在嘴里变甜了。因为就在这里，碳水化合物被转化成糖，就在这儿。所以如果你吃得适当，那么我们说大概有30%至50%的消化是发生在你的嘴里的。因此这一部分的消化系统期待的是消化了一半的食物或者部分消化的食物。但是如今，我们吃饭的方式几乎是不仅吞下没有消化的食物，而且还有一部分被破坏的食物。
So the amount of food that you need to get the same amount of energy has increased. You are eating much more food than what you should eat to generate that much of energy. Because of that, there is inertia in the body because it has to process so much more food than what it should, there is inertia. Once there is inertia, your sleep quota increases.
因此，为获得同样能量，你需要的食物量就增加了。你吃下去的食物比你应该吃的多得多了，才能产生相应的能量。因此，身体里会有惰性，因为身体要处理的食物量远大于它该处理的，就产生了惰性。一旦有了惰性，你的睡眠时间就会上升。
How many hours do you sleep? Hello? Eight hours? You are going by the prescription? (Laughs) Hmm? See, this is not that you must deny yourself sleep, that’s not the point. But if you eat right and do certain things with your body, you see very effortlessly within three to four weeks, you can drop your sleep quota anywhere between two to three hours. One-and-a-half to three hours very easily you can drop if you just eat consciously and just learn to sit properly.
你睡多少小时？喂？8小时？你也跟着专家处方来？（笑）嗯？不是说让你别睡觉，那不是重点。但是如果你吃得对，并且对你的身体做某些事，你会发现，你能非常轻松地在三、四个星期之内，让睡眠时间减少两到三小时左右。你可以轻松地减少一个半到三个小时的睡眠，前提是你吃得有意识，并且学会正确的坐姿。
You know? Just the posture. Your geometry of the body and what goes into the system, if you just manage these two things, you will see sleep quota will just come down like that. Just to tell you, for over twenty-five years, I have largely managed with an average of two- and-a-half hours of sleep. Now I am getting lazy and I am sleeping averaging somewhere around four-and-a-half hours now but seven days of the week, okay? Three-hundred-and-sixty-five days non-stop on, on, on almost every day.
你知道吗？只是体态，身体呈现的几何形态以及进到体内的东西。如果你能掌握好这两点，你会发现睡眠时间就会这么降了下来。跟你们说，在过去的25年多里，基本上我的平均睡眠是两个半小时。现在我变懒了，我现在平均睡大概四个半小时左右，但是一周七天如此，知道吗？365天，从无间断，一直持续，几乎每一天都这样。
My daughter didn’t call me for a month. I asked “What the hell is the problem with you, why are you not calling?” She said, “Every six hours you are in a new city. What the hell I am supposed to do (Laughter)?” I said, “Okay”…which is true. In one day sometimes we are doing three cities. So it’s a non-stop activity and today many people around me have learnt to do this. Over a hundred, hundred-and-fifty people around me are doing this kind of activity – averaging four hours sleep and seven days of the week, they are on, on, on all the time. And they are not irritated, they are not frustrated – they are joyful and they’re wonderful.
我的女儿有一个月没给我打电话，我问“你怎么回事，为什么不打电话？”她说“每六个小时你就在一个新的城市里，我能怎么办（笑）？”我说“好吧”……她说的是对的。有些时候一天内我们要去三个城市。所以我的活动从不停歇。并且现在我周围很多人也已经学会这样做了。在我周围有100、150多个人都是这样的活动量——平均四小时的睡眠，每周七天，他们一直在工作、工作、工作，从未停止。并且他们不烦躁，他们不沮丧——他们是喜悦的、美好的。
Why this is, is - there are many aspects to this but one important aspect is food - how you eat. Not only what you eat, how you eat is also very important because food is a live thing. One simple thing all you girls can do is just see various health issues and inertia issue, focus issue, just bring forty to fifty percent of the food in its raw form. That means it’s alive, it must be a live cell – it can be a vegetable, it can be a fruit, it can be a nut, it can be sprouted gram. At least forty to fifty percent, the food that you eat must be alive.
这样的原因是——这有许多方面的原因，但是一个重要的方面是食物——你是怎么吃的。不仅仅是你吃什么，你怎么吃也非常重要，因为食物是一个活的东西。你们所有女孩子都可以做的一件简单的事是……针对各种健康的问题、惰性的问题、专注度的问题——就把生食比例提高到40%到50%。这意味着食物是活着的，它得是活着的细胞——可以是蔬菜，可以是水果，可以是坚果，可以是豆芽，你所吃的食物至少40%到50%必须是活着的。
You eat dead food and you want to live - this is a little difficult thing (Laughs) to do because you have to raise the dead now (Laughs). But if you eat live food, one thing you will see is the state of your mind, your focus and your sleep quotas and above all staying awake is not good enough, you have to stay alert, isn’t it? How alert you are, how focused you are, only to that extent everything yields to you in this world, isn’t it so? What is the level of focus will determine whether the world yields to you or not, isn’t it?
你吃死了的食物，还想有活力——这个事情有点难（笑）。因为那你就必须把死的变活（笑）。但是如果你吃的是活的食物，你会注意到的一件事就是你头脑的状态，你的专注度，你的睡眠时长，而且更重要的是......光醒着还不够，你还要保持敏锐，不是吗？你有多么敏锐，你有多么专注，相应地，世上万物也就会等同地为你所用。难道不是这样吗？专注的程度决定了这个世界会否为你所用，不是吗？
And one more aspect of life, one more aspect of food is when you consume something, it must be of a simple genetic code, in the sense, it must be a very simple software. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, sprouts - they are very simple. More complicated means animal food becomes more and more complicated. Suppose you eat an animal, which has some amount of emotion and a life of its own. Now, the code in that…We were talking about this, your body is just an accumulation of memory, which means a certain software, isn’t it? This is the most complex software human software is the most complex software on the planet of all the creatures.
生命的另一方面，食物的另一方面是，当你吃东西时，它的基因编码必须简单。意思是说，它得是非常简单的软件。蔬菜、水果、坚果、豆芽——它们是非常简单的。而更复杂指的是动物性的食物就越发复杂了。假设你吃一个动物，而这个动物有一定的情绪，并且也有它自己的生命。现在，它的编码……我们曾谈过这点，你的身体只是一个记忆的累积，这意味着它是个软件，不是吗？这是最复杂的软件，人类软件是地球上所有生物中最复杂的。
So, if you eat an animal, particularly a mammal if you eat, it has a similar kind of complexity maybe not as complex as this similar level of complexity because it has thought and emotion of its own. Now for you to break that code and integrate it into your system, you are not fully successful. So it will leave traces of certain qualities within you. You cannot break that code and make it a part of yours because it’s a different and complex code.
所以，如果你吃一个动物，尤其是如果你吃的是哺乳动物，它的复杂性与人类相当——虽然可能没这个这么复杂——因为它有自己的想法和情绪。现在，你要分解这个编码并把它融合到你的系统之中，你不会完全地成功。所以它的某些特质会在你的内在留下些痕迹，你没办法分解这个编码并使它成为了你的一部分，因为它是有别于你且复杂的编码。
If you eat a leaf, a vegetable, a fruit, a nut or a sprout - this is much simpler. If you must eat non-vegetarian food, you must eat that which is furthest away from you. So generally, fish and water life is furthest away from you. So, if you must eat non vegetarian food, the best thing to eat is - you have a, you are on the coast (Laughs) fish is the best thing to eat that way.
如果你吃片叶子、蔬菜、水果、坚果或者芽菜——这简单得多。如果你一定要吃非素食，你必须吃距离你最远的。那么，通常鱼类和水产品是离你最远的。所以，如果你必须吃非素食，最适合吃的是——你们住在海边（笑），那样的话，鱼是最好的食物。
