萨古鲁 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.
万古以来，人类努力奋斗着向各个方向寻求满足。但如果我们看看当今世界的状况，显然努力并没有奏效。萨古鲁解释了这其中的根本谬误：向外求索实际存于内在的东西。
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（萨古鲁）：满足感不是通过行动得来。如果你仔细观察，你就会发现在你生命里的很多时刻，你都在想，“如果这件事发生了，我的人生就完整了。”当你还是一个小孩时，你想，“如果我得到了这个玩具，我的人生就完整了。”你得到了那个玩具，但几周过后你就不在乎了。生命没有得到满足。当你在上学时，你想着如果通过了考试，人生就完整了。考试通过了，然而什么都没发生。然后你想，如果你接受完教育，人生就完整了。那也发生了。现在你想着，如果你都无法自立，所有这些教育有什么用呢？那也发生了。三个月之后，你开始想，像一头驴一样工作有什么用？如果你能与心爱的男人或女人结婚，你的人生就完整了。那也发生了，然后你也知道后面发生了什么！
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.
无论你做了什么，生命都不会获得任何满足感。满足感不会因为你的某个行动获得。只有你的内在本质完满，你的生命才会获得满足感。如果你内在的本质不受限制，你的生命同样浩瀚无边。现在，你既可以闭着眼睛坐着，也可以采取不同的行动，无论怎样，你的生命都是完整的。当一个人内在达到这样一种状态，他没有必要采取任何行动，他所付诸的行动仅仅是应对外部形势所需，他已经完满了。
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.
请看看，为什么你采取了一个又一个的行动？为了满足感。那些行为过度的人，当你问他们为什么要做这所有的一切，他们会回答：“不然呢？食物、老婆、孩子——谁来照顾他们？”事实是，即便你满足了他所有的需求，这个人也没办法安静地呆上哪怕一天。他甚至都坐不了三个小时！他必须做点什么。这是因为你的内在本质没有得到满足，而你试图通过行动来获得。你的行动不是为了你的食物或舒适；都是为了寻求满足感。无论这是否带着觉知发生，这些行动都表明了对无限的追寻。
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，在内在，你的内在本质已经获得满足，那就没有行动的必要了。如果外部形势需要某些行动，你可以高兴地去做。如果没有必要，你可以只是闭目坐着。当一个人达到一种不需要做任何事的状态时，我们就可以说这个人已经变得无界了。这并不意味着这个人什么事都不干。如果外部形势需要，他可以24小时工作。但他的内在本质不需要行动，他就不受限于行动。即便没有行动，他也没什么两样。
