关于动力/激励/驱动：

We must understand that if we motivate ourselves or get motivated by somebody, there could always be somebody else who’ll demotivate us.

我们必须明白，如果我们激励自己，或者被某个人激励，那么也会有一些能够打击我们的人存在

If something flips us up, something can always flip us down.

如果有什么事情能够让我们振作起来，那么也会有什么事情让我们变得消沉。

What motivation essentially means is that you build a false sense of confidence.

激励的本质是，你建立了一种虚假的自信。

Why anybody needs confidence is essentially because the necessary clarity is missing.

为什么每个人都需要自信？本质上是因为通透的缺失。

Only where there is no clarity, one seeks confidence.

只有当通透缺失时，人才会寻求自信。

If I ask you to walk here, where it’s well-lit, nobody needs any confidence to walk here. But if you ask somebody to walk in the… in a dark patch, suddenly they need confidence, because there is no clarity.

如果我叫你走过来，当这里照的够亮时，没有人需要靠自信走过来。但如果我叫你走入暗处，突然间他们就需要自信了，因为那里不透明

So people have begun to believe that confidence is a substitute for clarity， But here is no substitute for clarity.

所以人们开始相信自信是通透的替代品，但通透没有替代品

If we do not strive to bring clarity in our lives, if we try to live our lives on puffed up sense of confidence, somebody is always going to prick it and bring it down or life situations are going to do it anyway.

如果我们没有竭尽全力让生活变得更加透明，如果我们只是在盲目建立的自信心中活着，总会有人过来将我们的生活击垮，或者生活状况也将因循这种结果。

If we try to run on confidence, which is motivated either by situations or by people or by whatever we think we are going to get at the end of the race, then this motivated confidence will always come down.

如果我们试着依赖于自信，这种自信收到环境或他人的激励，又或者最终我们觉得将得到之事务的激励，那最终这种被驱动，被激励的自信将总是崩塌。

Clarity is the only way to walk with ease. If one has to walk through this life with ease, one needs clarity

通透是唯一让你能够信步前行的原因。如果一个人想要轻松地度过他的一生，他需要通透。

There is an whole system of how to bring clarity, but because our education systems have become a heap of information, now we are trying to run on confidence. But if our education system was about sharpening the tools of our perception, then definitely we would have come to clarity.

关于如何变得通透的整个理论体系是存在的，但是因为我们的教育系统已然变成了一个信息的堆砌，现在我们试着依赖于我们的自信。但如果我们的教育系统是为了让我们的感知力（觉察力）得到提升，那么毫无疑问我们都会到达透明的境界。

It’s very important, as individual human beings you invest towards bringing clarity to your life

对于每个人而言，投资于能够让生活变得通透的事情上是非常重要的。

 

“I lost my spark，I want to regain my motivation and live a peaceful joyful life. ”

If you go outside in the garden and try to catch an ant, if you try to catch him, he’ll say, “Okay, to hell with my life, okay crush me if you want.” Is it so?

如果你走到外面，然后试着去捉一只蚂蚁，如果你试着捉住它，他会说，“好吧，去他妈的生活，来压扁我吧如果你想”，是这样吗？

He’ll do everything to protect himself.

他会做任何事情来保护它自己

He values his life, isn’t it?  He’s got spark.

蚂蚁都能够珍视它的生命，不是吗？ 他有动力.

But you, a human being at least on this planet you are the peak of evolution, physiologically at least, yes? What the most evolved creature on the planet means is, it has the most complex neurological system and it has the highest level of cerebral capability.

但你，作为一个人，至少在这个地球上你是最高级的生物，从生物学上看至少是这样，是吧？ 地球上最高级的生物，意思是人类有最复杂的神经系统，并且人类有最高级的大脑能力

That means you can think, you can remember – you have memory, you have a very vivid sense of memory and a fantastic sense of imagination.

这意味着你可以思考，你可以记忆——你拥有回忆，你有非常生动的记忆并且有无与伦比的想象力

An ant doesn’t have such a vivid sense of memory nor does he have any great imagination. He has some but he has a presence of mind about the life that he is living.

一只蚂蚁可没有如此丰富的记忆，也没有丰富的想象力。 它（或许）有一些，但它清晰的知道它还活着

（Yet you don’t have）Because the education systems that you are going through right from kindergarten level is such that it is about everything except you. It’s about everything else.

（而你没有的原因是）因为你从幼儿园开始就经历的教育系统是这样的，这个教育系统情关乎一切，但无关于你, 它囊括了除你以外的所有事情。

Somebody is PhD in tourism, somebody is PhD in biotechnology, somebody is PhD in something, nothing about this (referring to oneself). How does this (Referring to oneself) function, there is no attention at all.

有的人是旅游学的博士，有的人是生物科技的博士，有的人是某个领域的博士，但没有人是自己的博士。 人是如何运作的，丝毫没有注意到过

A human being exists in three times.(past memory, present experience and future imagination)

一个人存在于三个时间范畴内(过去的回忆，现在的经历和未来的想像)

He lives (in the past) because of the richness of his memory. How rich is your memory determines what you will do and what you will not do right now, isn’t it so?

他活（在过去，译者注），是因为他的记忆丰富，而记忆有多丰富，决定了你现在会做什么，不会做什么，不是吗？

So memory is important.

所以记忆是重要的

The present experience is important and how vivid is your imagination for tomorrow is very important.

当下的经历是重要的，对于明天的丰富的想象也是非常重要的

Right now the problem is, these things have all gotten mixed up, because discipline of faculty has simply not come, nothing has been taught to our children that there needs to be discipline.

现在的问题是，这三种时间范畴都被混在一起了，因为约束并没有出现，我们的下一代并不知道这三个范畴需要有边界。

Discipline of faculty is not there because of this, your own mind turns against you.

对这三种范畴的约束并没有出现，也正因为这样，我们自己的大脑才会和自己产生对抗。

（过去）What happened ten years ago you still suffer.

十年前发生的事情依然在令你煎熬

（未来）What may happen day after tomorrow you already suffer, because there is no discipline of faculty.

明天可能会发生的事情，已经在令你感到煎熬，因为没有边界的约束

You don’t know how to use your memory, you don’t know how to use your imagination, your memory makes you suffer, your imagination makes you suffer and you think you are suffering your life.

你不知道怎么运用你的记忆力，你不知道怎么运用你的想象力，你的记忆令你煎熬，你的想象令你煎熬，让你觉得生活很煎熬 （你分不清过去是过去，（应该告别），现在是现在（活在当下），未来是未来（怀抱期待），译者注）

You are not suffering your life, you are only suffering the two greatest faculties of being human vivid sense of memory and a fantastic sense of imagination.

但不是在因为你的生活而煎熬，你只是因为人类两项最伟大的能力而煎熬，生动清晰的记忆力和无与伦比的想象力。

Isn’t it so?

不是吗？

If you suffer the greatest faculties that you have, what can we do with you? If you suffer a ailment – understandable; if you suffer a disability – understandable; if you suffer your ability – hopeless case.

如果你因为这最伟大的能力而受苦，我们能为你做些什么呢？如果你因为小病而煎熬，可以理解；如果你因为残疾而煎熬，可以理解，但如果你因为你的能力而煎熬，完蛋了。

I must tell you this, about four, five months ago I think, you might have seen it on the news, a young lady, thirty-four-year-old lady who was a television anchor in Hyderabad, jumped off the fifth floor window, killed herself, left a note – “Nobody is responsible for my death, my brain is my enemy.”

我必须告诉你，大约4、5个月前，你可能看见过这条新闻，一个年轻的女性，34岁，是Hyderabad的一个电视主播，从五楼的窗户跳下去自杀，留下了一句话：“没有人要为我的死担责，我的大脑是我的敌人”

how many million years it took to get this brain to this size and now it becomes your enemy!

哎，这个大脑花费了多少个百万年才能够进化至此，现在它却成了你的敌人？！

She articulated this but this is true with almost ninety percent of the human beings, they are suffering their own intelligence, isn’t it (Applause)? if you take away half their brain, they will be peaceful, yes!

她清楚地表达了这一点，但几乎百分之九十的人都是如此，他们正因他们的智力而煎熬，不是吗？如果你拿走他们一半的大脑，他们会变得平和。

And that is why a whole bunch of idiots are going about saying that the ultimate goal of life is peace of mind.

这就是为什么一大群白痴会说生活的最终目标是心灵的平静。

Such people will only rest in peace.

这样的人只会安息

I am asking, is your life precious to you?

我要问的是，你的生命对你来说宝贵吗？

Then you must decide where you want to invest this life if this is precious.

那你必须决定你要把你的生命投资到哪里，如果你的生命是宝贵的

If this is worthless throw it somewhere; if this is precious, invest in something worthwhile, isn’t it?

如果你的生命不重要，随便找个地方扔掉，但如果你的生命中要，投资于值得的地方，对不对？

So, if you invest this in something worthwhile, not spark, you will be aflame all the time.

所以，如果你把它投资在有价​​值的事情上，你不会成为短暂的火花，你将一直燃烧
