Questioner: How do you measure, …one measures their own spiritual progress at individual level?
提问者：人要如何测量他们自己在灵性上的进步？
Sadhguru: Oh, you want a meter? Oh, we’ll give you a meter. Don’t worry about your spiritual progress. There is no such thing as spiritual progress. Are you becoming more available to it, that's all the question is. Let's not talk about something which is not in your experience because if I talk about something which is not yet in your experience there are only two options - either to believe me or disbelieve me, isn't it? Believing doesn’t get you any closer, disbelieving doesn’t get you any closer. So let's talk about something that is in our experience.
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：哦，你想要把量尺？那我们就给你一把量尺。不要担心你的灵性进步，没有所谓的灵性进步。你是否正变得向它更加敞开，这才是问题的全部。我们且不谈论你体验不到的东西，因为如果我谈论一些你还体验不到的东西，那你只有两个选择——要么相信我，要么不相信我，不是吗？相信不会让你更接近真相，不相信也不会让你更接近真相。所以让我们说些在我们体验中的事物。
What condition, what state of mind, emotion, body and let's leave the energy because that’s not in your experience. What condition of your body, mind and emotion makes you more available to life than the way you are right now? You tell me? If you are sad, do you become more available? If you are tense do you become more available? If you are peaceful do you become more available? If you are blissful do you become more available? In which condition would you become more available to the life process?
什么样的情况，什么状态的头脑、情绪和身体——我们先不提能量，因为那还不在你的体验之中——什么状态的身体、头脑和情绪，会让你比起现在来讲，对生命更加敞开？你来告诉我。如果你是悲伤的，你会变得更敞开么？如果你是紧张的，你会变得更敞开么？如果你是平和的，你会变得更敞开么？如果你是幸福的，你会变得更敞开么？在什么样的情况下你会向生命过程更加敞开？
If you are in utmost pleasantness you become more and more available to everything around you. Isn't it so? Right now you are feeling very happy, this one comes and asks some stupid question, you are okay with her. That one comes and asks something else, you are okay with her also. This one comes and asks something, you are okay with that also. You are in a certain state of unpleasantness, you are irritated, frustrated, angry, depressed about something, this one comes and even tries to say something nice to you, poofff, this’ll go. Yes or no? Even to simple aspects of life you are more available only when you’re in a certain state of pleasantness, isn't it?
如果你在极度的愉悦之中，你会越来越对周围一切敞开，难道不是这样么？现在，你感觉非常开心，这人过来问了些愚蠢的问题，你对她没意见。那人来问了些问题，你对她也没有意见。另一个人来问了些问题，你也没有意见。当你在某种不愉快的状态里，你在对某些事感到烦躁、沮丧、愤怒、抑郁时，就算这个人想来对你说些好话，“嘭”的一下，你就气炸了。是不是这样？即便是对于生活中简单的方面，只有当你处在某种愉悦的状态中时，你才更加敞开，不是吗？
So let's measure by that standard. If by the day if you are becoming a more joyful human being - you just keep accounts of this on a daily basis, 'From yesterday to today, am I little more joyful?’ If you’re keeping accounts and if you are becoming more and more joyful by the day and your face, instead of becoming like this, is… slowly is becoming like this, that means you’re progressing. Yes, you are definitely progressing; because spirituality is not some nonsense up there, it is about becoming available to life process in its fullest possibility, not just to the physicality, not just to the mentality, to becoming available to life process in its fullest scope – this is spirituality.
所以让我们用这个标准来测量。如果每一天你都在变成一个越来越喜悦的人，你只要每天都记录一下这个，“从昨天到今天，我更加喜悦了吗？”如果你在记录，并且每一天都变得更加喜悦，并且你的脸不再是这样，而是慢慢变成这个（微笑）样子，那意味着你在进步。是的，你肯定是在进步，因为灵性不是那些高高在上的鬼话，灵性在于向生命过程全然敞开，不仅仅是向身体层面，也不仅仅是向心理层面，是变得全然地向生命过程敞开——这才是灵性。
