薩古魯：如何在生命中找到滿足感？

薩古魯 Isha

For eons, mankind has strived hard and looked in every direction to find fulfillment. But if we look at the state of the world today, it has clearly not worked. Sadhguru explains the basic fallacy of seeking on the outside something that actually exists within.

萬古以來，人類努力奮鬥着向各個方向尋求滿足。但如果我們看看當今世界的狀況，顯然努力並沒有奏效。薩古魯解釋了這其中的根本謬誤：向外求索實際存於內在的東西。

Sadhguru: Fulfillment is not attained by some action. If you look carefully, you will see that at so many points in your life, you thought, “If this happens, my life will become complete.” When you were a child you thought, “If I get this toy, my life will be complete.” You got that, but after a few weeks you didn’t care about it. Life did not attain fulfillment. When you were in school you thought that if you passed your examination, life would be complete. That happened, and still nothing happened. Then you thought that if you complete your education, your life would be complete. That too happened. Now you thought, what is the use of all this education if you are not able to stand on your own two feet? That happened. After three months you began to think, what is the use of working like a donkey? If you get married to that man or woman who is in your heart, your life would become complete. That happened and then you know what happened!

Sadhguru（薩古魯）：滿足感不是通過行動得來。如果你仔細觀察，你就會發現在你生命里的很多時刻，你都在想，“如果這件事發生了，我的人生就完整了。”當你還是一個小孩時，你想，“如果我得到了這個玩具，我的人生就完整了。”你得到了那個玩具，但幾周過後你就不在乎了。生命沒有得到滿足。當你在上學時，你想着如果通過了考試，人生就完整了。考試通過了，然而什麼都沒發生。然後你想，如果你接受完教育，人生就完整了。那也發生了。現在你想着，如果你都無法自立，所有這些教育有什麼用呢？那也發生了。三個月之後，你開始想，像一頭驢一樣工作有什麼用？如果你能與心愛的男人或女人結婚，你的人生就完整了。那也發生了，然後你也知道後面發生了什麼！

Whatever action you may have performed, life has not attained any fulfillment. Fulfillment will not come because of some action that you perform. Only if your inner nature is complete, your life will attain fulfillment. If your inner nature is unbounded, your life is also unbounded. Now, you can either sit with your eyes closed or you can perform different actions, either way your life is complete. When man has reached a state where within himself, he does not have the need to perform any action and the actions that he performs are only to the extent required for the external situation, that man has become complete.

無論你做了什麼，生命都不會獲得任何滿足感。滿足感不會因為你的某個行動獲得。只有你的內在本質完滿，你的生命才會獲得滿足感。如果你內在的本質不受限制，你的生命同樣浩瀚無邊。現在，你既可以閉着眼睛坐着，也可以採取不同的行動，無論怎樣，你的生命都是完整的。當一個人內在達到這樣一種狀態，他沒有必要採取任何行動，他所付諸的行動僅僅是應對外部形勢所需，他已經完滿了。

Please see, why have you been performing one action after another? It is towards fulfillment. People who perform action in excess, when you ask them why they are doing all that they are doing, they answer, “What to do? Food, wife, kids – who will take care of them?” The truth is, even if you fulfill all his needs, this person cannot sit quietly for even a day. He cannot even sit for three hours! He has to do something. This is because your inner nature has not attained fulfillment and you are trying to do it through actions. Your actions are not happening for your food or comforts; they are all happening in search of fulfillment. Whether this has happened with or without awareness, the actions indicate the search for unboundedness.

請看看，為什麼你採取了一個又一個的行動？為了滿足感。那些行為過度的人，當你問他們為什麼要做這所有的一切，他們會回答：“不然呢？食物、老婆、孩子——誰來照顧他們？”事實是，即便你滿足了他所有的需求，這個人也沒辦法安靜地呆上哪怕一天。他甚至都坐不了三個小時！他必須做點什麼。這是因為你的內在本質沒有得到滿足，而你試圖通過行動來獲得。你的行動不是為了你的食物或舒適；都是為了尋求滿足感。無論這是否帶着覺知發生，這些行動都表明了對無限的追尋。

If, within you, your inner nature has attained fulfillment, there will be no need for action. If the external situation demands some action, you can do it joyously. If it is not needed, you can simply sit with eyes closed. When a person has reached a state where there is no need to perform any action, we can say that person has become unbounded. That does not mean that this person does not do any work at all. If the external situation demands it, he can work twenty-four hours. But action is not needed for his inner nature. He is not bound to action. He is the same, even without action.

如果，在內在，你的內在本質已經獲得滿足，那就沒有行動的必要了。如果外部形勢需要某些行動，你可以高興地去做。如果沒有必要，你可以只是閉目坐着。當一個人達到一種不需要做任何事的狀態時，我們就可以說這個人已經變得無界了。這並不意味着這個人什麼事都不幹。如果外部形勢需要，他可以24小時工作。但他的內在本質不需要行動，他就不受限於行動。即便沒有行動，他也沒什麼兩樣。
