萨古鲁为什么不能进中国(萨古鲁活了多少岁)

萨古鲁 Isha

Sadhguru answers a question on midlife crisis, and looks at how life is a process of constant change.

萨古鲁回答了一个关于中年危机的问题，并阐释了生命是一个不断变化的过程。

Questioner: Sadhguru, lately, I’ve been experiencing a deep feeling of emptiness in my life. Is this my midlife crisis?

提问者：萨古鲁，最近，我在生活中常处于一种深深的空虚感之中。这是我的中年危机吗？

Sadhguru: When was your life not a crisis? Childhood was a crisis, adolescence was a crisis, searching for a career was a crisis, midlife is a crisis, old age will be a crisis, death will be a crisis. At least midlife must be balanced, isn't it! The problems of youth are over, the problems of old age are yet to come. Midlife should be the best part of your life, but you are calling that also a crisis. It is not that midlife is a crisis – you are a crisis.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：你的生命何时不是一场危机？童年是一场危机，青春期是一场危机，求职是一场危机，中年是一场危机，老年会是一场危机，死亡也将是一场危机。至少中年必须是平衡的，不是吗！青年的问题已经结束，而老年的问题尚未到来。中年应是你生命的最佳阶段，你却也称它为危机。中年不是一场危机——你就是危机。

Forty is not a crisis, nor is eighty a crisis, nor is death a crisis. It is a natural process of life.

四十岁不是危机，八十岁也不是危机，死亡也不是危机。这是一个生命的自然过程。

What is being passed off as midlife crisis is just that to some extent, the energy of youth is gone. When you were youthful, you probably lived blatantly. Now the energy is running out, you can’t party until four o’clock in the morning anymore, so you think it is a crisis.

常说的中年危机只是在某种程度上，青春的活力消失了。当你年轻时，你或许活得很喧闹。现在能量在流失，你不能再聚会到凌晨四点了，所以你认为这是一场危机。

What you call a crisis is just a change. You don't know how to deal with the change, so you are calling it a crisis. If you don’t want change, either you must go to your grave, or you must get enlightened. Otherwise, as long as you are a part of the physical process of the existence, there is nothing that does not change. This moment you inhale; the next moment you exhale – this is change. When you resist change, you resist the fundamental process of life, and invariably, you will invite all kinds of suffering.

你所谓的危机只是一种变化。你不知道如何应对这种变化，所以你称它为危机。如果你不想变化，要么你必须终结生命，要么你必须开悟。否则，只要你是存在中物理进程的一部分，没有什么是不变的。这一刻你吸气，下一刻你呼气——这就是变化。当你抗拒变化，就是在抗拒生命的基本过程，而且无一例外地，你会招来各种痛苦。

Don’t make life a double whammy

不让生命变得两难

Life is just situations. Some situations we know how to handle, some situations we do not know how to handle. If you live a life where you already know how to handle every situation that is going to come up, you will die of boredom. If you do not know how to handle the next situation that is coming up, you should be excited, but you think it is a crisis. So you are left with only two options – boredom or crisis!

生活就是各种情境。有的情境我们知道如何应对，有的情境我们不知道。如果你在生活中已经知道如何应对将要发生的每一个情境，你会无聊得要命。如果你不知道如何应对下一个情境，你应该感到兴奋，但你认为这是一场危机。所以你仅剩两个选择——无聊或危机！

If you are involved with life, you will never feel it is a crisis.

如果你投入到生命中，你绝不会感到这是场危机。

Don’t make life into a double whammy where you lose both ways. If you face a situation that you do not know how to handle, that is when you have to organize your body, mind, emotion, and energy in the best possible way, so that you can figure out how to handle the situation. But you don’t want to organize these aspects of who you are because they have become like a concrete block, which does not want to change. This concrete block wants to go through every stage of life in the same shape and form – this will not work.

不要让生命变得两难，你进退皆输。如果你面对一个不知如何处理的情境，那就是你必须以最佳方式去调整自己的身体、头脑、情感和能量的时候，这样你才能弄清如何处理这个情境。但你并不想调整你的这些方面，因为它们已经变得像一块水泥，它们不想改变。这块水泥想用同样的形状和形态走过生命的每一个阶段——这不会奏效。

When you are forty, and you still want to go about your life as if you were eighteen, you will feel forty is a crisis. Forty is not a crisis, nor is eighty a crisis, nor is death a crisis. It is a natural process of life. Because you get identified with one stage of life, the next stage feels like a crisis. Nothing is a crisis. There are just situations in your life. Life will anyway change. Is it changing the way you want it, or is it changing haphazardly? That is the only question.

当你四十岁时，却仍想把你的生命活得犹如十八岁，你会感到四十岁是一场危机。四十岁不是危机，八十岁也不是危机，死亡也不是危机。这是一个生命的自然过程。因为你认同了生命的一个阶段，就觉得下一个阶段是一场危机。没有什么是危机。你的生活中就只是各种情境。生命无论如何都会变化。它是按你想要的方式变化，还是杂乱无章地变化？这是唯一的问题。

Whichever way it changes, it is better than stagnation, because human life cannot bear stagnation. “Midlife crisis” just means: “My life is stagnating. Everything is the same – the same house, the same dishwashing, the same spouse – everything feels the same.” This “everything is the same” is only a mental conclusion you have made. Otherwise, every day, every moment, change is happening in the existence. Change is happening in your body, change is happening in your mind, change is happening in everything – but you have no eyes for life. You are preoccupied with your mind, and your mind has become cyclical. Since it is going through the same stupid cycle again and again, it feels like stagnation and crisis.

无论它以何种方式变化，都比停滞要好，因为人的生命无法忍受停滞。“中年危机”就是指：“我的生命正在停滞状态。一切都是一样的——同样的房子、同样的洗碗机、同样的配偶——感觉一切都一成不变。”这个“一切都是一样的”只是你在头脑中作出的结论。然而，每一天、每一刻，变化都在存在中发生着。变化在你的身体中发生着，变化在你的头脑中发生着，变化在一切中发生着，但是你没有看到生命。你被你的头脑所占据，而你的头脑已成了循环。由于它一次又一次地经历着同样愚蠢的循环，所以感觉上像是停滞和危机。

It is good that it is a crisis because otherwise, you will never look for a way out of falsehood.好在它是危机，否则你永远不会在虚妄中寻找出路。

If you observe every leaf around you, if you observe everything that is happening around you, you will see life is a constant process of change; nothing is ever stagnant. Both within and outside, everything is constantly in a dynamic process of change. If you are involved with life, you will never feel it is a crisis. You are only involved with your thought and emotion, so it is a crisis. It is good that it is a crisis because otherwise, you will never look for a way out of falsehood. You will settle into falsehood for good.

若你观察你周围的每一片树叶，若你观察发生在你周围的一切，你会看到生命是一个不断变化的过程；从来没有什么是停滞的。无论内在或外在，一切都一直处在活跃的变化过程中。如果你投入到生命中，你绝不会感到这是场危机。因为你只投入在你的思想和情感中，所以才是危机。好在它是危机，否则你永远不会在虚妄中寻找出路。你将永远安于虚妄。

Crisis is better than a tragedy. If you entertain yourself with your own thought and emotion for the rest of your life, never realizing what you are doing, that would be tragic. Crisis is better than that – crisis could awaken you, but a tragedy finishes you off.

危机好过悲剧。如果你余生都活在自己的思想和情感中，从未意识到自己在做什么，那将是悲剧。危机比这要好——危机可以唤醒你，但悲剧会毁灭你。

Right now, you need to understand that the crisis is 100% the making of your mind and your emotions – not of nature, not of existence, not of creation – just your making. If you do not realize that, you will go on creating crisis after crisis. If you realize it is your making, you do not have to stop it – it will anyway disappear.

现在，你需要明白，危机百分之百是由你的头脑和情感创造的——不是自然、存在或创造所为——只是你自己的创造。如果你没有意识到这点，你将继续创造一个又一个危机。如果你意识到这是你自己的创造，你不必阻止它——它无论如何都会消失。
