Sadhguru: The simple process of life which one believes, hopes, and tries to plan and work out as a very sweet process, can easily be turned around in a moment. What is very sweet and beautiful can become very bitter and painful.
Sadhguru（薩古魯）：一個人所相信，期望和計劃的十分甜美的簡單的生命過程，可以很輕易的在一瞬間被顛覆。十分甜蜜美好的事情可以變得非常痛苦。
Human beings have enough intelligence to understand that the very way life is structured is such that if one small thing goes upside down, everything goes upside down with one’s life.
人有足夠的智慧去領悟到生命的運行方式就是，哪怕一個細小的事情出現(xiàn)混亂，一人的生命也會完全顛覆。
It is not necessary that you have to be struck down by death or disease or some other calamity. It can happen in so many ways.
這并不是指你一定要被死亡、疾病或者其他災難所擊倒，顛覆生命的方式可以有很多種。
It happened on a certain day, a young woman came back from a date looking very sad. The mother asked, “What happened?” The girl said, “Anthony proposed to me today.” The mother asked, “Why are you unhappy then? You must be very happy.” “No mom, he’s an atheist. He doesn’t believe in God, he doesn’t even believe that there is hell.” The mother replied, “You just marry him. Between the two of us we will prove him wrong!”
故事發(fā)生在某一天，一位年輕姑娘神色悲傷地約會回來。母親問她，“發(fā)生什么事了？”女孩回答說，“安東尼今天向我求婚了?！蹦赣H接著問道，“那你為什么不高興？你應該非常高興才對啊?！薄安?，媽媽，他是一個無神論者。他不相信上帝，他甚至不相信地獄的存在?！蹦赣H回道，“你只管嫁給他。我們兩人共同努力就會證明他是錯的！”
It is not that some great calamity has to happen. The simple process of life can turn so bitter and so miserable if just a few things are not in place.Unfortunately, most human beings don’t look at their life with any sense of depth unless something goes wrong. They don’t wake up out of their own intelligence. They just try to live as frivolously as possible.
不一定要發(fā)生一些重大的災難，只要一點事情出現(xiàn)混亂，生命就會變得如此的苦澀和痛苦。不幸的是，除非出現(xiàn)了一些波折，大多數(shù)人是不會去深刻地審視他們的生命的。他們自己的智力沒有喚醒他們。他們只是盡可能膚淺地活著。
The Only Certainty
唯一的確定性
Life is constantly uncertain. About life you can have a million doubts. “Will I become rich or not? Will I become educated or not? Will I become enlightened or not?” But death is a hundred percent certainty. There is no doubt about that. With death, there is no question.
生命始終是不確定的。對于生命你會有一百萬個疑問?！拔沂欠駮兊酶挥校课沂欠駮兊糜薪甜B(yǎng)？我是否會開悟？”但是，死亡是百分之百確定的。對于這一點沒有任何疑問。關于死亡，沒有人會去質(zhì)疑。
So, why sit on uncertainty instead of certainty? A spiritual process begins only when you start becoming aware of your death. You do not become spiritual because you think of God. You seek God because you want to be happy or you want to run your business well or you want to go to heaven because you made a hell out of yourself!
所以，相比活得確定，為什么要活得不確定呢？只有當你開始意識到你的死亡時，修行才真正地開始。你不會因為想著上帝而充滿靈性。你追尋上帝是因為你想要變得快樂，或者你想把事情處理好，或者你想上天堂，因為你已經(jīng)把你自己弄得一團糟了。
If you knew that you are like a flower that blooms in the morning and dies in the evening then you would not miss a single flower on the way.If you look at death, it will put everything in its proper perspective. Your fantasies will collapse, reality will rule. If your fantasies rule your mind, you do stupid things. Only if reality rules your mind, you behave sensibly in the world.
要是你知道你就像一朵早上盛開，傍晚凋零的花，你就不會錯過人生路上的每一朵花。如果你能面對死亡，那么它會把一切都放在正確的視角上。你的幻想會破滅，現(xiàn)實會占據(jù)你的頭腦。如果幻想占據(jù)了你的頭腦，你就會做出愚蠢的事情。只有你的頭腦被現(xiàn)實占據(jù)，你才能有覺知地活在這個世上。
Love&Grace,
Sadhguru
