如何創造一個令人興奮的未來？

Sadhguru: For the kind of possibilities human beings hold, life is a brief amount of time. Only for people who do not explore the full depth and dimension of who they are, for those who are miserable and depressed, life is long. This is because time is a relative experience. If you keep yourself vibrant, exuberant, and joyful, it is a very brief life. There is no point in dwelling on yesterday, as long as you did the best you could do. The important thing is that what you thought was the best you could do yesterday should not be good enough to you anymore today. What you are doing today should be much better. That means you are growing.

薩古魯：對於人類所擁有的可能性而言，生命是一段很短暫的時間。只有對於那些沒有充分挖掘他們自己本身的深度和維度的人，對於那些悲慘和消沉的人，生命才是漫長的。這是因為時間是一種相對性的體驗。如果你使你自己保持著活力，充滿喜悅，生命是十分短暫的。沉浸在過去沒有任何意義，只要你盡自己所能。重要的是，昨天你以為你自己能做到最好的是這麼多，今天你要認為那還不夠。你今天做的應該要更好得多。那意味著你在成長。

If you act to the best of your ability and intelligence, every day will be an explosion of possibilities. If you are driving fast, there is no time to look back. Only those who are living in a parked car keep looking in the rearview mirror, because they are not going anywhere. There is no point in doing postmortem on yesterday. Crafting tomorrow is what is important. To create an exciting future, you need to be at your best. Growth means to make yourself the way you want to be. And how you want to be may change as you mature. Determine what the highest levels for you are in terms of body, mind, and emotions. That is what you should go for.

如果你能發揮出你最大的能力和智慧，每一天都會變成對新可能性的探索。如果你開車開得很快，你根本沒有時間往回看。只有那些住在靜止不動的車子里的人才會不停地看倒後鏡，因為他們不往前走。對昨日進行屍檢沒有意義，精心製作未來才是重要的。去創造一個令人興奮的未來，你需要成為最好的自己。成長意味著使你成為你想要成為的自己。你想要成為什麼也許隨著年齡的增長而改變。去定義你在身體，頭腦和情感上能達到的最高的程度，那是你應該追求的。

You do not have to be better than someone else, but you should not be anything less than what you can be. If you think your life is worthwhile, you must be at your best – anything less than that is wasted life. If you live exuberantly, life is fantastic. If you are half alive, everything is miserable. In a way, it is a preparation for hell. If you make yourself wonderful, wherever the hell you are, you will be fine. Otherwise, you may be in heaven but turn it into hell. If you want to create a future, it is important that you use your past as a stepping stone, not as a load. The more miserable your past was, the wiser and more mature you should become, sooner than others. When things happen to us, either we can become wise or wounded. This is the choice we have. Do not sit in a corner, hoping nothing bad will happen to you – life does not work that way. Whatever happens in your life, you can turn it into a fortune.

你不需要比某個人更好，但你不應該比你能夠成為的人有一絲的不及。如果你認為你的生命是有價值的，你就必須成為最好的自己——有任何的一絲不及都會使其成為被浪費了的生命。如果你精彩地活著，生命很美好。如果你半死不活，所有事情都是悲慘的。某種意義上講，那是為地獄做準備。如果你使你自己變得美妙，不管你處在任何地方，你都會很好。否則，也許你處在天堂但你會把它變成地獄。如果你想創造一個未來，重要的是你利用你的過去使之成為一個踏腳石，而不是一個負荷。你的過去越是悲慘，你就應該變得越是智慧和成熟，比一般人更快。當事情發生在我們身上，我們或是變得更有智慧或是負傷，這是我們的選擇。不要坐在角落期待著壞事不會發生在你身上——生命不是那樣子運行的。你生命中不管發生了什麼事，你都可以把它變成財富。

When we began establishing the Isha Yoga Center, it created a stir in town. People started gathering around us, and a few influential families did not like it. They met and came up with the plan to come here with a few hundred people and demolish the Yoga Center. But there was a wise old man who said, 「You don』t know whom you are dealing with. If you throw stones at him, he will build something out of it. Don』t make that mistake.」 What life throws at you, what kind of situations come your way is not always in your hands. But what you make out of it is always yours.

當我們開始建立Isha瑜伽中心時，這在鎮上造成了一些轟動。人們開始聚集在我們身邊。有幾個有影響力的家族並不喜歡這樣。他們聚在了一起並計劃帶幾百人過來拆毀瑜伽中心。但有一個智慧的老人說「你們不知道你們要對付的是誰，如果你朝他丟石頭，他會用它來建造東西。不要犯那個錯誤。」生命朝你丟什麼東西，你會遇上什麼情況，這些都不總是在你的掌握之中。但你能從中獲得什麼則取決於你。

Take charge of this in your life – no matter what someone says, what life does to you, what the world does to you, turn it into wellbeing. For this, you need balance, and you need to function at your highest level. Indiscriminately, whoever it is, whatever you do – always give your best. Learn to look at everyone and everything with the same intensity and the same involvement. Selective involvement means being half alive. To mature into a full-fledged human being, always strive to function at the highest possible level of your capability, in every little thing you do.

掌控自己的命運——不管某人說什麼，生命對你做了什麼，世界對你做了什麼，把它變成幸福。為此，你需要平衡，你需要以你最高的水平來運作。不加選擇地，無論是誰，不管你在做什麼——總是全力以赴。學習以同樣的強度和投入來看待每個人和每件事。選擇性地投入意味著半死不活。成為一個成熟圓滿的人，始終要努力以你最大的能力來運作，即便在你做的每件小事中。

Unfortunately, ninety percent of humanity is functioning well below their potential – to some extent because someone else said or did something, or even just because they are afraid someone else may think something. That means you are getting into other people』s mind – what a filthy place to be. Whatever anyone else thinks, says, or does, whatever comes your way, learn to turn it into your wellbeing. If someone throws poison at you, you must know how to use it for your wellbeing. Poisons have been turned into medicines, because people paid attention and realized the source of the problem is also a solution.

不幸的是，百分之九十的人類所發揮的比他們的潛能要低得多——某種程度，這是因為別人說了什麼或做了什麼，又甚至只是因為他們害怕別人會怎麼想。那意味著你進入了別人的腦子裡——多麼骯髒的地方。無論其他任何人想什麼說什麼或做什麼，無論什麼來到你生命里，學著把它變成你的幸福。如果有人把毒藥扔向你，你需要學會知道如何用它來使你變得幸福。毒藥被轉化為藥物，因為人們給予它注意力並意識到了問題的源頭也是解決方案 。

There is a saying in Kannada that if someone did something wrong, and other people talk about it, the negative effect of it will be greater for the people who talk about it than for the one who committed the act. Let them carry your burden. If someone abuses you, only their mouth gets dirty. That is not your problem. What someone else says, does, or thinks should not affect you. If you are giving your best, all the time, you will be able to look through whatever they say. What is significant, you can take as a suggestion. The rest, you can drop.

有一句埃納德諺語說，如果有人做了某些錯事，其他人談論它；那麼那些談論它的人要比那個真正做錯事的人要接收更多的消極影響。讓他們背負你的重擔。如果有人辱罵了你，只有他們的嘴變得骯髒。那不是你的問題。其他人說什麼，做什麼或想什麼不應該影響你。如果你總是盡你最大的能力，你就能看穿他們說的所有東西。重要的，你把它當成建議來領受。其他的，你可以丟掉。

If you are giving less than your best and someone says something about you, you will get confused as to who you are. This does not mean you should establish your way of being once and for all. Growth is a constant process. It is about building yourself up to the highest possible level. Most people are volatile, in the sense, one moment, they are wonderful – the next moment, they are nasty. Instead, determine what the highest level for you is at this time and strive to get there. Just bring this into your life – in everything, give nothing less than the best.

如果你給予的比你最好的狀態要少，其他人談論你，你會對你自己是誰感到困惑。這不意味著你要建立一個永久的存在方式。成長是一個持續的過程。它是關於增進你自己，使其到達到最高可能性的水平。大部分人是不穩定的，在某一狀態，某一刻，他們極好——下一刻，他們變得很暴躁。相反的，在當下決定對於你來說最高的水平是什麼，並且努力著到達那裡。只是把這個帶到你的生命里——在任何事物里，不要給予比你最好的要少。

Love&Grace,
