萨古鲁对于癌症致病根源的洞见

Sadhguru: If you have read what has been written about cancer, you may have noticed that opinions and concepts seem to change frequently, sometimes dramatically. But the fundamental physiology, the chemistry, and the very basis of your existence has not changed. So why is it that these concepts keep changing? From concepts to consciousness is too much distance. With concepts, there can be no consciousness. So, rather than reading everything from the outside and getting confused as to what is true and what is false, if you start listening to your body and gain a deeper understanding and insight of your own system, you would be able to handle it more efficiently.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：如果你读过关于癌症的文章，你可能会注意到关于癌症的观点和观念似乎经常发生变化，有时变化很大。但基本的生理、化学以及你存在的根基并没有改变。为什么这些观念一直在变化？因为观念和意识两者有着天壤之别。有观念，就没有意识。所以，与其去阅读外界的各种东西，弄不清真假是非，倒不如开始倾听你的身体，对你自己的系统有更深的理解和洞察，这样你就能更有效地处理它。

Cancerous cells are present in everyone’s body, but having a few cancerous cells that are disorganized will not affect your life or health in any way.

癌细胞存在于每个人的身体里，但有一些癌细胞是无组织的，它们不会以任何方式影响你的生命或健康。

We are looking at it from an experiential perspective, because what is you is everything. Anything that is worth knowing can be known in a single moment if you are willing to turn inward. You may not discover how to build a nuclear reactor, but you would know how the atoms in your body are behaving. If you turn inward, it is all right there – you are a cosmos by yourself.

我们从体验的角度来看，因为你就是一切。所有值得知道的一切都可以在一瞬间被知道，如果你愿意转向内在。你可能不知道如何建造核反应堆，但你会知道你身体里的原子是如何运作的。如果你转向内在，那就没问题了——你自己就是一个宇宙。

There are millions of people right now going through different states of cancer. These things occur for a variety of reasons and all of us are a part of it. This is not only because of external situations, but also because of how you maintain your system. It is not just external chemical influences that are acting on you. Your body is the biggest chemical factory. If you do not handle this factory properly, it produces the wrong kind of chemicals and freaks out on you in some way.

现在有数百万人正经历着不同的癌症。这些事情的发生有各种各样的原因，我们所有人也都是其中的一部分因素。这不仅是因为外部环境，还和你维护系统的方式有关。影响你的不仅仅是外部的化学物质。你的身体是最大的化工厂。如果你不好好经营这家工厂，它就会生产出错误的化学品，并在某种程度上让你崩溃。

Yogic Perspective of Cancer

关于癌症的瑜伽视角

In yoga, we do not look at cancer as different types. Where and how it manifests in a particular individual may depend on various aspects of one’s physiology, genetics, lifestyle, diet and so on, but we always see the root cause as an imbalance in what is called the pranamaya kosha or the energy body.

在瑜伽中，我们不把癌症看成是不同类型的东西。癌症在什么位置以及如何在一个人身上表现出来可能取决于一个人的生理、遗传、生活方式、饮食等等各个方面，但在我们看来，根本原因，永远都在于pranamaya kosha（能量身）的失衡。

Fundamentally, the yogic system looks at physiology as five different layers. We will look at the first three; the other two are not concerned with health. The first layer is called the annamaya kosha or the food body. The food that you eat has become this body, isn’t it? If you do not eat anything, this body will dissipate. So, the physical body is referred to as the food body.

从根本上说，瑜伽系统把身体看作是五个不同的层。我们会来看前三个；另外两个与健康无关。第一层被称为annamaya kosha或食物身。你吃的食物变成了这个身体，不是吗？如果你什么都不吃，这个身体就会消散。所以，物质身体被称为食物身。

From the yogic perspective, cancer and other disturbances or diseases that the system manufactures from within, are caused by an imbalance in the energy body.

从瑜伽的角度来看，系统内部产生的癌症和其他疾病是由能量身的不平衡引起的。

Until recently, medical science was only involved with the food body or annamaya kosha. They did not focus on anything else. They thought they could handle all the infections in the world, but then they found they were unable to do anything about chronic ailments like blood pressure and diabetes. This is because they were looking at the food body, which is only an external manifestation.

直到最近，医学也只涉及到了食物身或annamaya kosha。他们没有关注其他方面。他们以为自己可以应对世界上所有的传染病，但后来他们发现自己对血压和糖尿病等慢性病无能为力，这是因为他们看到的是食物身，它只是外在的表现。

Within this is the manomaya kosha, which means the mental body. Today, medical science recognizes that man is psycho-soma – whatever happens in the mind naturally happens in the body. For example, if you create mental tension, your blood pressure will go up. So, there is a mental body that needs to be properly taken care of. This mental body and physical body can function only because there is an energy body. The work of yoga is fundamentally on the level of the energy body or the pranamaya kosha. From the yogic perspective, cancer and other disturbances or diseases that the system manufactures from within, are caused by an imbalance in the energy body.

Manomaya Kosha，意思是精神身。今天，医学已经认识到人具有精神身——头脑中发生的一切自然都会发生在身体中。例如，如果你精神紧张，你的血压会上升。所以，有一个精神身需要得到适当的照顾。这个精神身和物质身能运作只是因为有一个能量身。瑜伽基本上是在能量身或pranamaya kosha上运作。从瑜伽的角度来看，系统内部产生的癌症和其他疾病是由能量身的不平衡引起的。

Cancerous cells are present in everyone’s body, but having a few cancerous cells that are disorganized will not affect your life or health in any way. However, if you create certain situations within the energy body, they organize themselves – they go from petty crime to organized crime!

癌细胞存在于每个人的身体里，但有一些癌细胞是无组织的，它们不会以任何方式影响你的生命或健康。然而，如果你在能量身中创造了一些特定的情况，它们就会自我组织——从轻微的犯罪变成有组织的犯罪！

Cancer Cells: the Body’s Criminals

癌细胞：身体的罪犯

If we use an analogy to describe cancerous cells, we could say they are like criminals in a society. If there are individuals here and there doing little things, it does not really affect the society as a whole. There are petty criminals in every town who do a little pick-pocketing now and then – no problem. But if fifty of them get organized, the whole atmosphere in the town suddenly changes. When these fifty criminals come together, it becomes dangerous for you to step out on the street. That is all that happens in the body. If the cancerous cells loaf around by themselves, they are not a problem. Once they all gather in one place and hit it off, it becomes an issue.

如果我们用一个类比来描述癌细胞，我们可以说它们就像社会中的罪犯。如果有个人在这里或那里做些小事情，它不会真正影响到整个社会。每个城镇都有些罪犯时不时地偷点东西——没问题。但是，如果其中的50个人组织起来，整个城镇的气氛就会突然发生变化。当这50名罪犯聚集在一起时，你走上街头都会有危险。这就是身体中发生的一切。如果癌细胞自己游荡，它们不是问题。一旦它们聚在一起，这就成了一个问题。

If the flow of energy is not proper in certain areas of the body, cancerous cells will generally choose those places to grow and fester.

如果能量在身体的某些部位流动不正常，癌细胞通常会选择在那些地方生长。

Initially, a criminal is happy picking somebody’s pocket. Two of them dream of breaking into a house. Five of them meet and dream of robbing a bank. If the law enforcement is conscious and active, it makes sure criminals never gather in big numbers and become a major problem. The same is true with the body. You have to dissolve these cells before they gang up.

一开始，一个罪犯只是偷别人的钱就满足了。而两个罪犯会梦想着闯入一所房子。五个罪犯相遇，则会梦想着抢劫银行。如果执法是有意识的、积极的，它会确保罪犯不会大量聚集而成为一个大问题。身体也是如此。在它们聚集在一起前，你必须先消解这些细胞。

Due to certain “blanks” that happen in the pranamaya kosha, either because of attitude, lifestyle, food, or so many other reasons, the energy body gets affected. If the flow of energy is not proper in certain areas of the body, cancerous cells will generally choose those places to grow and fester. When it comes to chronic diseases, the root cause is always in the energy body. Once the energy body is disturbed, it will naturally manifest both physiologically and psychologically.

由于pranamaya kosha（能量身）中的某些“空缺”，无论是由于态度、生活方式、食物，还是其他许多原因，能量身都会受到影响。如果能量在身体的某些部位流动不正常，癌细胞通常会选择在那些地方生长。说到慢性病，根本原因总是在身体的能量中。一旦能量身被扰乱，它将自然地在生理和心理上显现出来。

For example, we generally find that for people who smoke regularly, their breathing is very different from non-smokers. Because of this restricted way of breathing, naturally the energy levels in that area become low and that becomes a place cancer is attracted to.

例如，我们通常发现，对于经常吸烟的人来说，他们的呼吸与不吸烟者非常不同。由于这种呼吸方式的限制，自然地，那个区域的能量水平就会降低，这就变成了吸引癌症的地方。

If your energy body is in full flow and properly balanced, there cannot be any disease either in your physical body or your mental body.

如果你的能量身是完全流动并且恰当平衡的，那么你的物质身和精神身不可能有任何疾病。

Another example is breast cancer, which is rampant today, especially in Western societies. This is because a lot of women do not conceive when they are at a child-bearing age. The mechanism of the breast, which was mainly made to feed the offspring, is either not utilized or is only utilized during a specific time period. In the past, if a woman went through the normal process of conception, from the age of around 16 or 18 till about 45 she would conceive periodically, which would have kept her whole system, the uterus and the breast active in so many ways. This would have also kept the energy flowing.

另一个例子是乳腺癌，在当今社会，尤其在西方社会，乳腺癌非常普遍。这是因为很多女性没有在生育的年龄怀孕。乳房，这个主要用来喂养后代的机制，要么不被使用，要么只在特定的时间段内被使用。在过去，如果女性经历正常的怀孕过程，从16岁或18岁到45岁，她会定期怀孕，这将使她的整个系统、子宫和乳房在很多方面保持活跃。这也会保持能量流动。

Today, some women do not conceive at all, or for most women, child-bearing is over before they are 30 years of age. Then for another 15 to 20 years of their life when they are still able to bear children, the necessary hormones and enzymes are still being produced but are not made use of. Because it is not made use of the way it should have been physiologically, that part of the body becomes low energy, which attracts cancerous cells and becomes a place for them to accumulate.

当今，有些妇女根本就不会怀孕，或者对大多数妇女来说，在30岁之前就结束了生育。剩下的15到20年，他们还能生育孩子，必要的激素和酶仍在产生，但没有被使用。因为它在生理上没有得到本该有的运用，身体的那一部分能量就会低下，这就吸引了癌细胞，成为了癌细胞聚集的地方。

Does this mean we must produce more children? Please don’t. This is an already overpopulated world. There are other solutions for this. Rather than allowing it to happen according to the atmospheres in which you live, it could be corrected by balancing the system and making it a more controlled process. There are certain types of yogic practices or inner work to control the body’s hormonal levels, which can handle this.

这是否意味着我们必须生育更多的孩子？请不要。这是一个已经人口过剩的世界。还有其他的解决办法。与其让它按照你生活的环境发生，还不如通过平衡这个系统以及使它成为一个更可控的过程来纠正它。有一些特定的瑜伽练习或内在的方法可以控制身体的荷尔蒙水平，来帮助解决这个问题。

The Energy Body - Health Connection

能量身——关乎健康

If your energy body is in full flow and properly balanced, there cannot be any disease either in your physical body or your mental body. People come to us with asthma for example, and we give them a certain practice that may release them from the condition. Someone else comes for diabetes, and we give that person the same practice, which works for them too. This is because we are not treating the disease as such. The disease is only a manifestation of the disturbance that exists in the energy body.

如果你的能量身是完全流动并且恰当平衡的，那么你的物质身和精神身不可能有任何疾病。例如，有些有哮喘的人来找我们，我们给他们一种可以让他们摆脱哮喘的练习。另外一些人来治疗糖尿病，我们也给他们同样的练习，这对他们同样有效。这是因为我们并不是在治疗疾病本身。疾病只是能量身被扰乱的一种表现。

Fundamentally, yoga is not a form of treatment. This is a way of balancing your inner energies. We never really treat the physical or mental body in that sense. Irrespective of what the disease is, we only aim at balancing and activating the energy body.

从根本上说，瑜伽不是一种治疗形式。这是一种平衡你内在能量的方法。从这个意义上说，我们从来不是真正在治疗物质身或精神身。不管是什么疾病，我们的目标只是平衡和激活能量身。
