萨古鲁：如何在生活中变得快乐？

Is happiness an elusive goal that happens in your life only once in a while? Sadhguru meticulously takes apart man’s quest for happiness and explains how to be happy in life.

幸福快乐是一个在你的生活中偶尔发生、难以捉摸的目标吗？萨古鲁详细地剖析了人们对幸福快乐的追求，并阐释了如何在生活中变快乐。

Sadhguru: Being happy or unhappy is actually your choice. People have chosen to be unhappy because they think that by being unhappy they will get something. It is being taught that if you suffer, you will go to heaven. If you are a suffering human being, what will you do in heaven anyway? Hell will be more of a home for you. Once you are unhappy, whatever you get, what does it matter? If you are happy, even if you do not get anything, what does it matter? This is not a philosophy, this is your true nature. By nature, you want to be happy. This is not a teaching that I am trying to give you – “Be happy; be happy.” Every creature wants to be happy. Everything that you are doing, every single act you are performing is to seek happiness in some way.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：快乐或者不快乐其实是由你选择的。人们选择不快乐是因为他们觉得借由变得不快乐，他们能获得某种东西。人们被教导如果你受苦，你就能上天堂。如果你是一个受苦的人，在天堂你又能干什么呢？地狱会更像是你的家。如果你是快乐的，即使你没得到什么，又有什么关系呢？这不是什么哲学，这是你的自然本能。出于本能，你想要变快乐。这不是我在给你们教导——“变快乐，变快乐。”每一个生物都想变快乐。你做的每件事、你进行的每一个行动都是在以某种方式寻求幸福快乐。

For example, why would you want to serve people? Serving people gives you happiness; that is why. Someone wants to wear good clothes; someone wants to make a lot of money, because that gives them happiness. Whatever every human being is doing on this planet, it does not matter what, even if he is giving away his life to someone, he is doing it because it gives him happiness. Happiness is the fundamental goal of life. Why do you want to go to heaven? Only because someone has told you that if you go to heaven, you will be happy.

比如说，你为什么想要为他人服务？服务他人能带给你快乐，这就是原因。有人想要穿得好，有人想要赚很多很多钱，因为那能带给他们快乐。不管这个星球上的每个人在做什么，做什么并不重要，即使是他在把他的生命给予别人，他那么做是因为那能带给他快乐。快乐是生命最基本的目标。你为什么想去天堂？只是因为有人告诉过你，如果你去了天堂，你会变快乐。

The Source of Unhappiness

不快乐的根源

After doing all that you are doing, if happiness is not happening, somewhere the fundamentals of life have been missed. When you were a child, you were simply happy. Without doing anything, you were happy. Then somewhere along the way, you lost this. Why did you lose it? You got deeply identified with many things around you, your body, your mind. What you call as your mind is actually just the stuff that you have picked up from social situations around you. Depending upon what kind of society you have been exposed to, that is the kind of mind you have acquired.

在做了你能做的一切之后，如果快乐还是没有发生，那就是在某个地方，生命的根本被错失了。当你是个孩子的时候，你就是单纯地快乐。不用特意做什么，你就是快乐的。然后随着成长，你失去了它。你为什么失去了它？你开始深深认同于你周围的许多东西，你的身体、你的头脑。你称之为“我的头脑”的东西，实际上只是你从周遭的社会环境中捡来的东西。取决于接触了什么样的社会，你会得到相应的头脑。

Everything in your mind right now is something you picked up from outside. This nonsense did not come with you; you picked it up and got identified with it. You got so identified with it that now it is causing you misery. You can collect any kind of garbage you want, it is okay. As long as you are not identified with it, there is no problem. This body is not yours; you have picked it up from the earth. You were born with a tiny body which your parents gave you. After that, you ate plants and animals and grew. You borrowed it from the earth; it is not yours. You have to use it for a while, so enjoy it and go. But you have become so deeply identified with it that you think that this is you. No wonder you are suffering. The basis of all this misery is that you have established yourself in untruth. You are deeply identified with that which you are not.

你此刻头脑中拥有的一切都是你从外面捡来的。它不是跟着你出生的，你收集了它并把它认同是你自己。你如此认同它，现在它给你带来了痛苦。你可以收集任何你想要的垃圾，这是没问题的。只要你不把它们认同是你自己，就没有问题。这个身体不是你的，你从地球上得到它。你出生时只有一个小小的身体，那是你父母给你的。那之后，你吃植物和动物然后成长。你从地球借来了它，它不是你的。你得用上它一段时间，所以请享用它然后离开。但是你变得深深认同于它，以至于你认为它就是你自己。难怪你在受苦。所有这些痛苦的根源是由于你将自己建立在不真实之中。你深深地将自己认同于那些不是你的东西。

Discount What You Are Not

将“不是你”的东西打折

The whole process of spirituality is only to dis-identify with that which you are not. When you do not know what you really are, can you search for it? If you search, only your imagination will run wild. If you start thinking, “Who am I?”, someone will tell you that you are God’s child. Someone else will tell you that you are the devil’s child. Someone might tell you something else. It is just endless beliefs, and imagination runs wild. The only thing that you can do is that whatever you are not, start discounting that. When everything is discounted, there is something which cannot be discounted. When you arrive at that, you will see that there is no reason for misery in this world.

灵性进程的全部就只是消除对“不是你”的东西的认同。当你不知道你自己真正是什么的时候，你要怎么寻找它？如果你寻找，只有你的想象力会肆意奔跑。如果你开始思考“我是谁？”有人会告诉你你是上帝的孩子。另一些人会告诉你你是魔鬼的孩子。还有人会告诉你你是其它的什么。那只是数之不尽的各式信仰和想象力在肆意飞舞。你能做的唯一的事情是，对那些“不是你”的东西进行打折。当一切能打折的都打折了，那里有一些无法被打折的部分。当你到达了那里，你会发现这个世界再没有痛苦存在的理由。
