Now you want to attach to something, unless you find some integrity. This is why between twelve and eighteen, one must do a lot of Sadhana to strengthen the body, so that you don’t desperately bind yourself with something or somebody.

You must consciously, if you wish to take a partner, it must be a conscious process. If it is a compulsive process, then you will pay the price for it. This is not a question of morality, the question is what is the priority in your life.

If your priority is to make this life rise to a higher possibility, then you must be conscious. (But) If you just want somehow live and go, it’s okay.

身体是向自然界借来的用以承载意识的载体

而无意识的念头，是过去记忆的总和，”是我“，但又并非”是我“

有意识的”我“，才是”我“

附上一个新发现的有意思的东西：《中国哲学书电子化计划》https://ctext.org/zhs

1. “常无欲以观其妙，常有欲以观其徼”

妙： 生 ； 徵：归，终，成 （王弼注）

无欲/有欲是 观物的两种状态

无欲以观其妙，从而观其生。 人为欲望的介入常常事物生长过程的败坏。 对自然界杀戮的干预，给肉打激素，都导致了事物的改变。

天地生物，人能成物，成物即成器。

人不可能无欲，人存在的本能是自我保存的冲动。

人无欲时，无法学会用器，人要有欲，才能用器。

1.1. 斯宾诺莎：欲望就是自我保存的冲动。

生命总是通过选择保存对自己有益的东西，排斥无益的东西。

1.2 《中庸》：赞天地之化育

2. 反者道之动，弱者道之用，天地万物生于有，有生于无

有是一种状态，是有限的，是有属性的，属性一种肯定，也是了无限多的否定

哲学的困境在于表达的困境，但表达的困境，不代表哲学无法被表达。

明言在表达终极实在时是有局限性的。不能名之，可谓之

2.1. 三十辐共一毂，当其无，有车之用。埏埴以为器，当其无，有器之用。凿户牖以为室，当其无，有室之用。故有之以为利，无之以为用。

无是有充分发挥作用的前提

弱者是无

做事不留余地，则做事难以为继。 企者不立（踮着脚尖站），跨者不行。留白的智慧。

王弼： 穷一家之量不能成家，一国之量不能成国，穷力举重，不能为用。 费尽力气举起来的东西，已经无法再有空闲去运用它了。

到了一定的高度，个人便不再是个人。

君之无为，臣之有为。 君主是群臣能充分发挥能力的前提

韩非子：不自用其智而用人之智，力，有。

舍身取义

自我保存和自我实现相冲突时，人倾向于选择自我实现，都有“成己”的倾向，成己是自爱的体现，而最高的自爱是忘我，关心别人。一个人真正的自爱的体现是关心别人。而当一个人关心别人时，他的格局就更大，因为他承担的更多。

自爱和自私不一样，忘我不是无我。

成己是以成物为条件，通过成就他人来成就自己。 我个人取得的 成就 是通过对别人形成的影响来表现的。就像我的技术精湛是因为能够让别人更好的体验到技术带来的快乐，我的心智的成熟是因为能够给他人带来可靠的感觉。而非给我自己带来了多少财富。（注意：这是社会层面的分析）

自私是最高的不自爱，越自私的人越不幸福，幸福的人往往都有分享的习惯和倾向，自私的人越自我，自我的人得失心越重，得失心重，这辈子就只剩下四个字，患得患失。

举例：入睡困难。当转向自己时，焦虑，失眠，但转向别人时，便没有这么多的情绪。

Despite being surrounded by so many people, we still lack that feeling of belonging to somebody, being accepted by somebody, being loved by somebody. How should we deal with that discontent and loneliness?

On one level, many questions are aimed towards how can I be free from this and that. Another level, you are asking how can I bind myself to something or somebody.

You must decide what is the highest value in your life: freedom or bondage? Please, I would like to hear that word.

Freedom!

But if you are free, you feel lost. If you go into the mountains and you’re totally free, that is, nobody around, nothing around you, just in the empty space of the mountains, you don’t feel free, you think you’re lost!

So to handle freedom, it needs a certain clarity and strength. Most people cannot handle freedom. They are always trying to bind themselves but only talking, mouthing freedom all the time. If you really set them free, they will suffer immensely. So this is an evolutionary issue.

In the sense human beings are right now like this caged bird, if you keep a birdcage for a long period of time and then one day you took off the door of the cage, still, the bird won’t fly. From inside, it’ll protest that it’s not free but it will not fly.

Human condition is just that. For all other creatures, nature has drawn two lines within which they have to live and die, and that’s what they do. But only for human beings, there is only a bottom line; there’s no top line.

And that’s what they’re suffering. If their life was also fixed like every other creature’s life, they wouldn’t be stressed; they wouldn’t be anxious; they wouldn’t be struggling how to handle their intelligence. And that is what you’re seeking unknowingly. You may have sought it in the form of relationships; you may seek it in the form of profession; you may seek it in the form of nationality, ethnicity, community. God, heaven, hell, all you are trying to do is draw an artificial line which does not exist.

Because freedom needs courage, freedom needs a certain madness. If you’re very sane, you cannot be free because you will go between the two lines of logic. To be free, it takes a lot of strength. That, if you first of all, what needs to happen if you want to be free is: do you understand that all human experience has a chemical basis to it?

Hello?

What you call as joy is one kind of chemistry; misery’s another kind of chemistry; stresses one kind of chemistry; anxiety, another kind of chemistry; agony, one kind of chemistry; ecstasy, another kind of chemistry. At least ecstasy, you know, it’s another kind of chemistry.

I hear.

So your experience of life has the chemical bases to it. This is a most superficial way of looking at it. There are other dimensions to it, but for you, understanding it or, in other words, what you call as myself right now, you’re a chemical soup.

The question is only, are you a great soup or a lousy soup? Yes or no?

Right now, if you have a chemistry of blissfulness, if you close your eyes, it’s fantastic; if you open your eyes, it’s fantastic; if somebody is here, it’s fantastic; nobody is here, it’s very fantastic. Yes or no?

But you have a lousy chemistry. If you look at them, if they smile at you, it’s nice, not fantastic; if they look at you like this, suddenly it’s a problem. If these people are happening just the way you want, your chemistry is reasonably balanced.

If they do something that you don’t like boom it goes somewhere else. So essentially you have not looked at this mechanism, what is the basis of this, how it functions how I can make it function at its highest level.

Right now let’s say you really blissed-out like me, do you care who is around who is not around? If they are around it’s fantastic, they’re gone fantastic. Because your experience of life is no more determined by what you have and what you don’t have, whether it’s people or things or food or this or that, it is not determined by that.

Once your way of being is not determined by anything outside of you, then there is no such thing as loneliness, but you will enjoy your aloneness because whether you like it or you don’t like it, at this young age it’s a little difficult to understand this, whether you like it or you don’t like it, within this body you’re always alone, isn’t it? Whether you do interaction or intercourse or whatever whatever whatever still you’re alone in this body, yes or no?

If you don’t learn how to handle this aloneness you have not learned anything about life, this is the most beautiful thing! The most beautiful thing about life is nobody can get here it’s just my space, yes or no? This is the most beautiful thing. Nobody can invade me they can capture me they can torture me they can do so many things but they cannot invade me, because I have a space which is just my own. Isn’t this the most wonderful aspect of your life? Don’t suffer that, that is the most beautiful thing, oh but you want to find little romantically and enjoy that what?

What are those songs and popular songs finding for somebody: without you I cannot exist, sing one song. Hold on just tell me the words I will sing, the girls should understand the guy has a need and he’s doing this it’s not really true but let’s enjoy the game right now.

Because what we do is just a certain game life is, because it comes to an end. But the important thing is how are you within yourself if you are here in such a way that you are only driven by your needs, you will live a very neither life. But if you can sit here without any need but you will do whatever is needed then you will live a magnificent life. It’s my vision my blessing every one of you must have a fantastic life. Make it happen for yourself.

强迫性是一种缺乏意识的表现

就像光明与黑暗

当你试图驱散黑暗时

不要试图与黑暗抗争

因为当你把灯打开时

黑暗自然会散去

如果你试图与黑暗斗争

那么你的人生将永无休止。

比较会让一个人形成意识

所以人需要比较

但也需要有意识地比较，而不是让比较带着你走。

 

当人在思考 “人为什么活着”的时候，会掉进神创论的陷阱里

这个为什么，是由外界赋予的，还是自己赋予的呢？

如果是外界赋予的，那必然有一个客观实在，而这个客观实在，要么是凌驾于己的更高权力者，要么是更神秘的“神”。

这个疑问之所以会产生，是因为自己的思维陷进了有限认知的自我追问中

如果是自己设下的陷阱，那么很容易就离开，然而如果是他人设下的陷阱，那么离开的难度会更加困难，因为他们会创造困难

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
