努力成為更好的生命

原創 薩古魯 Isha

Because life is an endless possibility, Sadhguru says, it can never be perfect – there is always more to do. He explains that every human being has a natural striving to move to the next notch, to become a higher expression of life.

因為生命是一種無盡的可能性，薩古魯說，它永遠不可能是完美的——總有可以改進的地方。他解釋說，每一個人都自然想要步入下一個階段，想成為生命的更高展現。

Sadhguru: Everybody must make some striving just to bring this in the society, that every human being has a striving to at least move to the next notch from where he is. Life and social structures are always a constant… kind of a game. It』s like a see-saw game. Are the positives up or negatives up? That』s all. As a generation, if you create a huge amount of positives, negative will become small. If you create huge amount of negatives, they will become big and positive will become small.

Sadhguru（薩古魯）：每個人都必須做一些努力，只要把這個帶入社會，即每個人都努力從他現在的位置進入至少下一個等級。生命和社會結構總是一種持續不斷的……一種遊戲，它就像蹺蹺板遊戲，翹起的是積極的還是消極的，僅此而已。作為一代人，如果你創造大量積極的東西，消極的就會變小。如果你創造大量消極的東西，它們就會變大，而積極的就會變小。

This』s all life is. There has never been a point anytime and there never will be, where everything is perfect. Okay? There』s no such thing because life is a possibility. Because it's a possibility, it cannot be perfect. Doesn』t matter what we do, there』s still something more to do, always. That is why it』s an endless possibility.

生命就是這樣子。從未有過哪個時刻一切都是完美的，將來也不會有，好嗎？沒這回事，因為生命是一種可能性。因為它是一種可能性，它就不可能是完美的。無論我們做什麼，總有可以改進之處，始終如此。這就是為什麼它是一種無盡的可能性。

Striving does not mean, 「I want to be a good man, I want to be a good man.」 See, being morally good is only good for the society, not good for the human being. Yes. If… If you are morally correct, it's good for people around you because you are contained. But it』s not good for this life (Referring to oneself).

努力不是說：「我想成為一個好人，我想成為一個好人。」看，道德上的好只是對社會有好處，不是對這個人有好處，是的。如果……如果你在道德上正確，它對你身邊的人有好處，因為你剋制著自己，但它對這個生命（指自己）沒有好處。

So, this life (Referring to oneself) needs a little different kind of nurture. In that context, how many people in this world are going to strive? Before you and I fall dead, how many people… in how many people will we set this seed, that they will be striving to be a better life than the way they are right now? A little higher expression of life. This』s all your focus should be.

而這個生命（指自己）需要一點不同的滋養，從這點來講，在這個世界上有多少人將會努力——在你和我死去之前，有多少人……我們會在多少人當中種下這顆種子，讓他們會努力成為一個比他們現在更好的生命？一種生命的更高一點的展現？這才該是你全部的關注所在。
