萨古鲁：没有了情绪，我们会变得更好吗？

When emotions get out of hand, they seem to bring us so much trouble. A seeker wonders, wouldn’t we be better off without them? Sadhguru responds…

当情绪失控时，这似乎会给我们带来很多麻烦。一位探寻者想知道，如果没有情绪，我们难道不会变得更好吗？萨古鲁回答说……

Questioner: Emotions seem to be more trouble than they are worth. Aren’t we better off without them?

提问者：情绪引发的麻烦那么多，似乎不值得拥有。我们没有它难道不会变得更好吗？

Sadhguru: If there is no emotion at all in a human being, you cannot call him human. Emotion is a beautiful aspect of human life, without which a human being would become ugly. But as with anything, if emotion becomes unbridled, it becomes madness. If your thought becomes uncontrolled, it will become madness. If your emotion becomes uncontrolled, that too becomes insanity.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：如果一个人完全没有情绪，你就不能称他为人。情绪是人类生活中很美好的一面，没有它，人就会变得丑陋。但是，就像任何事情一样，如果情绪得不到控制，它就会变得疯狂。如果你的思想不受控制，它会变得疯狂；如果你的情绪不受控制，那也会变得疯狂。

Emotion is not the Problem

情绪不是问题

People see emotion as a problem because they have painful emotions. If they had beautiful emotions within them, would they call them a problem? If you were full of joy, love and compassion within yourself, if that is how your emotion was taking shape and finding expression, would you consider it a problem? No.

人们把情绪看作是一个问题，是因为他们有痛苦的情绪。如果他们内在有美好的情绪，他们会把它称为问题吗？如果你的内在充满了快乐、爱和慈悲，如果你的情绪是以这样的形式生发和表达的话，你会认为这是问题吗？不会。

If you try to become devoid of emotion, you will have suppressed emotions, and you will become dry.

如果你试图变得没有情绪，你就会有被压抑的情绪，你会变得没有人情味。

If your body was functioning very well and beautifully, would you call this a problem? No. If it is painful or diseased, then sitting, standing or bending in the morning is really painful – so you would think this body is a problem. Similarly, you may say you want no emotion simply because you have made a mess out of it. If you had truly beautiful emotions within you which made your life like a flower, you would not think of not having emotions.

如果你的身体运作得非常好，你会说这是一个问题吗？不会。如果它很痛，或者生了病，早上坐着、站着或弯腰都很痛苦，那么你会认为这个身体是个问题。同样地，你之所以会说你不想要情绪，是因为你把它弄得一团糟。如果你内在有真正美好的情绪，它让你的生命变得像花儿一样，你就不会想着没有情绪。

I am not telling you to leave your emotions or go beyond them. All I am saying is whether it is your body, your mind, your emotion or your energies – the four dimensions which could be in your experience right now – the first and foremost thing is to make them very pleasant. Once they are very pleasant, they are no longer a problem. Only when the emotions are no longer a problem – when people are not aspiring for anything else and are very joyful – does the longing to go beyond arise.

我不是告诉你，要远离你的情绪或超越情绪。我所要说的是，无论是你的身体、你的头脑、你的情绪还是你的能量——这些在你目前体验中的四个维度——首要的事情是让它们变得十分愉悦。一旦它们变愉悦，它们就不再是个问题。只有当情绪不再是个问题时——当人们别无它求，并感到非常快乐的时候——对超越的渴求才会升起。

Neither Here nor There

既不在这里，也不在那里

Otherwise all you are trying to do is survive. Even if you are calling for God, it is only a call for survival, isn’t it? When you fail to survive here, you start thinking about making it in heaven. If you could not make it here, what is the guarantee that you will make it there? Basavanna, a celebrated sage and a great poet from Karnataka, said, “Illi salladavaru alliyu sallaraiya,” which means, “Those who do not make it here will not make it there either.” So, this is not about going beyond emotion. You must go beyond, but “beyond” does not mean beyond emotion or mind or this or that. You must go beyond the limitation which is holding you right now. Emotion and thought can also become a method and a tool to pave the way for you.

否则，你想要做的事情就只是生存。即便你在呼唤神的时候，也只是为了生存，不是吗？当你在这里无法生存时，你就开始向往天堂。如果你不能在这里生存，那么你又怎能保证在那里就能生存呢？来自卡纳塔克邦的著名圣人和伟大诗人巴萨凡纳说：'Illi salladavaru alliyu sallaraiya'，这句话的意思是：“那些在这里做不到的人，在那里也做不到。”因此，这不是关于超越情绪的问题。你必须去超越，但“超越”并不意味着超越情绪，或超越头脑，或者超越这个或那个。你要超越的是那些目前束缚着你的局限。情绪和头脑也能成为一种方法和工具，为你铺就道路。

If you use your mind to transcend your limitations, we call this gnana yoga. If you use your emotion to transcend limitations, we call this bhakti yoga. If you use your body to transcend limitations, we call this karma yoga. If you use your energies to transcend limitations, we call this kriya yoga. Every one of them is a gateway. A gateway can either block you, or let you beyond. So, your emotions are not to be shunned and rejected to go beyond. You cannot shun them. If you try to become devoid of emotion, you will have suppressed emotions, and you will become dry. Your emotion needs to be accepted in a very deep way so that it becomes your friend. A friend is someone who is pleasant to you.

如果你用你的头脑来超越局限，我们称之为gnana（智慧）瑜伽。如果你用你的情感来超越局限，我们称之为bhakti（奉爱）瑜伽。如果你用你的身体来超越局限，我们称之为业力瑜伽。如果你用你的能量来超越局限，我们称之为Kriya（克里亚）瑜伽。它们中的每一种都是一种门径。门径既可以阻止你，也可以让你超越。所以，要想超越，不要回避你的情绪，也不要拒绝它。你是无法回避它的。如果你试图变得没有情绪，你就会有被压抑的情绪，你会变得没有人情味。情绪需要以一种非常深刻的方式得到你的接纳，这样，它才会成为你的朋友。而朋友，是让你感到愉快的人。
