努力成为更好的生命

原创 萨古鲁 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.

因为生命是一种无尽的可能性，萨古鲁说，它永远不可能是完美的——总有可以改进的地方。他解释说，每一个人都自然想要步入下一个阶段，想成为生命的更高展现。

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（萨古鲁）：每个人都必须做一些努力，只要把这个带入社会，即每个人都努力从他现在的位置进入至少下一个等级。生命和社会结构总是一种持续不断的……一种游戏，它就像跷跷板游戏，翘起的是积极的还是消极的，仅此而已。作为一代人，如果你创造大量积极的东西，消极的就会变小。如果你创造大量消极的东西，它们就会变大，而积极的就会变小。

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.

生命就是这样子。从未有过哪个时刻一切都是完美的，将来也不会有，好吗？没这回事，因为生命是一种可能性。因为它是一种可能性，它就不可能是完美的。无论我们做什么，总有可以改进之处，始终如此。这就是为什么它是一种无尽的可能性。

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).

努力不是说：“我想成为一个好人，我想成为一个好人。”看，道德上的好只是对社会有好处，不是对这个人有好处，是的。如果……如果你在道德上正确，它对你身边的人有好处，因为你克制着自己，但它对这个生命（指自己）没有好处。

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.

而这个生命（指自己）需要一点不同的滋养，从这点来讲，在这个世界上有多少人将会努力——在你和我死去之前，有多少人……我们会在多少人当中种下这颗种子，让他们会努力成为一个比他们现在更好的生命？一种生命的更高一点的展现？这才该是你全部的关注所在。
