Sadhguru talks about the difference between love andlust, explaining how as we become more physically inactive, our energy is notexpended and manifests as neurosis.
萨古鲁谈到了爱和欲望的区别,解释当我们变得缺乏更多身体活动时,我们的能量并未被消耗,而是表现出神经官能症。
Sadhguru: The whole world is goingthrough a unique kind of neurosis, which was not there in the past. This issimply because modern man has stopped using his body to a large extent. In thepast, when you intensely involved yourself in physical activity, a lot of yourneurosis was worked out. Your nervous energy got spent. I know many people, especiallyyoung people, who had psychological problems. They just started swimming orplaying some sport daily and then everything became okay. Because of enoughactivity, the energy was expended.
萨古鲁:整个世界正在经历一种独特的神经官能症——前所未闻的。这仅仅是因为现代人在很大程度上已经不再使用自己的身体。在过去,当你强烈地投入到身体活动中时,你的许多神经官能症已被解决了,你焦虑的能量已耗尽,我认识很多人,尤其是年轻人他们有心理上问题,他们仅开始游泳或每天做些运动,然后一切都好了。由于足够活动量,能量已被消耗。
Today, man has become physically inactivelike never before. He could not afford to be so physically inactive before, hehad to do so many things physically, just to survive. He has become moreneurotic than in the past. As a general phenomenon, there were neurotic peoplethen also but not in these numbers. Today, it has become a common phenomenon insociety that everybody is in some level of neurosis. This is simply becauseyour energy is not worked out. It is trapped. You have not transcended yourmadness and at the same time, you are not working it out. The therapy also isnot there. If you went out and chopped wood for the whole day – if you choppeda hundred logs a day – a lot of your energy would be spent, and life would bepeaceful. But today it is not like that. You are not using your body the way itused to be used, so you go on generating all kinds of diseases, like neverbefore.
当今人类已经变得前所未有的不活跃,他以前还能那样不活跃,为了生存,他不得不做那么多的体力活,他变得比过去更神经质。而成为普遍现象,当时也有精神疾病的人,但并未有这些数字。现今社会上,每个人都有一定程度的神经官能症已经成为一种普遍的现象。这仅仅是因为你的能量没有发挥出来——它已被困住。你没有超越你的疯狂,同时你并没有解决它,连治疗也没有。如果你一整天都出去砍柴——如果你每天砍一百根木头——你的能量就能消耗掉,生活就会很平静。但今天不是这样的,你没有像过去那样使用你的身体,所以你继续产生各种疾病,这是前所未有的。
This builds up into your system over aperiod of time. Then your physical and emotional energy needs some outlet. Thatis how bars, clubs and discotheques have come into place. People have to workout their neurosis somewhere, somehow. These discos look like madness, youcannot even breathe inside. They are full of smoke and sweat, but people arejust going wild. You cannot even dance, everybody is bumping into everybodyelse, but it does not matter, you have to work it out. Otherwise you will gocrazy. So on Saturday, you go to work out your neurosis for the week. Then thepiling up starts once more and once again the Saturday night fever comes.
这将在一段时间内累积到你的系统中,那么你的身体和情感能量需要某些宣泄,酒吧、俱乐部和迪斯科舞厅就是这样出现的,人们总得想办法解决自己的神经官能症,这些迪斯科舞厅看起来很疯狂,你甚至不能呼吸,他们满身都是烟雾和汗水,但人们只是狂野,你甚至不能跳舞,每个人都会撞到别人,但是没关系你必须把它解决掉,否则你会发疯的。所以周六,你为一周(过多能量)去锻炼自己神经官能症,然后堆积起再次开始周六狂热夜。
Moving From Lust to Love
从欲望到爱
When you love, you settle down, nothingmore is needed. You can just sit here for a lifetime. With lust you cannot sitanywhere. You either get into some mad action, or you are bound to go crazy.
当你爱时你安顿下来,不需要更多的东西,你可以在这安坐上一辈子。有欲望时你不能安坐任何地方,你要么投入到疯狂的行动中,要么你注定要发疯。
There is another way to dropthis madness and go ahead – completely leaving it behind and goingahead where you are no more a part of it. This is what meditation is all about.Now, if you dance, you simply dance for the joy of it, and not because there issomething to work out. If you are dancing to work out something, maybe it istherapeutic. It is good therapy alright, but there is a certain ugliness aboutit. It is lusty. You cannot dance out of love. You can only dance out of lust.
还有一种方法放下这样疯狂而往前行——完全把它抛在脑后并继续前行,在你不再是它一部分的地方继续前进,这就是冥想的全部。现在,如果你跳舞,你只是为了喜悦而跳舞,而不是因为有什么事情要去解决。如果你跳舞是为了解决某些问题,也许它是有疗效的,这是一个很好的治疗方法,但也有一定的丑陋之处——它精力充沛的。你不能因为爱而跳舞,你只能出于欲望而跳舞。
Do you know the difference between loveand lust? Lust is a strong need. Loveis not a need. When you love, you settle down, nothing more is needed.You can just sit here for a lifetime. With lust you cannot sit anywhere. Youeither get into some mad action, or you are bound to go crazy. When there is acertain neurosis, a certain madness within yourself, you can only be in lust.Your lust can be for sex, for food or for some particular activity or somehobby; it does not matter what it is, but you develop lust for something.Without that lust you cannot live. Even your work is an effective way ofthrowing out your lust. It is just that it is the most popular and accepted wayin the world. Today people just go on working, working and working. Not becausethey are creating something fantastic, but simply because they have to work.Otherwise they don’t know what to do with themselves.
你知道爱和欲望的区别吗?欲望是一种强烈的需求,爱不是一种需要。当你爱时会安定下来,再也不需要更多,你能安坐上一辈子。有了欲望你不能随意安坐着,要么投入到疯狂的行动中,要么你注定要发疯。当你内在有某种神经官能症,某种疯狂时你只能处于欲望之中。你的欲望可以是性欲,可以是食物,可以是某种特定的活动或爱好,不管是什么,你都会对某些东西产生欲望,没有欲望,你就不能生存。甚至你的工作也是一种有效的发泄欲望的方式,那可是世界上最受欢迎和接受的方式,现今人们只是继续工作、工作、工作,并非因为他们创造出美妙的东西,而是因为他们必须工作,否则他们不知道如何自处。
You have to guard that madness cautiously.Nobody ever knows that you have this within yourself and you yourself wouldlike to forget it. You do everything possible to forget it. All theentertainment in the world has come just to hide your madness. If you wereperfectly sane, you would not need entertainment. You need entertainment justto cover your madness. If we take away your entertainment, you will go crazy.Man needs entertainment simply to hide his madness. If he was perfectly sane,he would not need entertainment. He could just sit and watch the bamboo grow.He would not really need entertainment.
你必须谨慎防范这种疯狂行为,没有人知道你内在有这样想法,连你自己都想忘记它。你想尽一切办法忘记它,世界上所有的娱乐都是为了掩饰你的疯狂,如果你完全清醒理智的,你也就不需要娱乐,不需要娱乐来掩饰你的疯狂,如果我们拿走你的娱乐,你会发疯的,人需要娱乐来掩饰他的疯狂,如果他是完全清醒理智的,就不需要娱乐了,他可以坐着看竹子生长,他真的不需要娱乐。
