念上，還不如讓願景成為你生命的引導力量。
Sadhguru speaks about New Year’s Resolutions. Rather than basing your life on man-made time constructs, he speaks about making vision the guiding force in your life.
“新年是一個為生命帶來新的願景的機會和可能性。那些有清晰願景的人是幸運的。”
“The New Year is an opportunity and a possibility for newer visions of life. Blessed is the one who has clarity of vision of the here and hereafter.”
薩古魯：在這浩瀚的存在中，沒有所謂“舊歲”、“新年”之類的東西。這些全是我們人類自己做的劃分。我們之所以做這樣的劃分，是因為我們的生活需要一些衡量工具，需要一些指導，一些里程碑來告訴我們我是在前進還是倒退。我現在是這麼大年紀——我是前進了，還是倒退了？所以，又是新的一年了，你是時候來衡量一下，過去的一年你作為一個人，是進步了還是退步了？也許你的生意有進展，也許你賺了更多錢，你把女兒嫁出去了——這些不是重點。你是否在一年時間中變成了一個好一些的人了？所以，為了即將到來的這一年，為新年，你要做什麼？你下個決心。某個你可以衡量的標準，比如在一年的時間裡，你會成為一個比現在好得多的人：更加喜悅、更加平和、更加有愛——以每一種可能的方式成為一個更好的人。這是你必須下的決定。
Sadhguru: In this vast existence, there is no such thing as “Old Year” and “New Year”. These are all demarcations that we as human beings have made. Why we have made these demarcations is because we need some measure to our life , some guide, some milestone to tell us whether we are going forward or backward. Now I am this many years old – have I moved forward, have I moved backward? So this is once again a new year, this is time for you to measure, in the last one year have you moved forward as a human being? Maybe your business has gone forward, maybe you made more money, you got your daughter married – that's not the issue. Have you become a little better human being in one year's time? So for the coming year, for the New Year what are you going to do? You make up your mind, what you are going to do. Some marker to tell you that in one year's time you will be a much better human being than you are right now. More joyful, more peaceful, more loving – a better human being in every possible way. This is something that you have to decide.
如果你覺得你身邊的世界——當我說世界，我指的是人類世界——你會發現你的體驗是很多聲音、念頭和情感的混雜。這些聲音、念頭和情感，是各種不同層次的困惑的流露。對當前事實極度扭曲的認知，就形成了這些聲音、念頭和情感，並得以表達。當一個人處在這種程度的困惑之中，當他受制於這種對身邊事實的誤解，他因此為自己和身邊的人創造了痛苦和折磨，這是非常不幸的。
If you feel the world around you – when I say the world, I mean the human part of the world around you – you will see your experience is a cacophony of voices, thoughts and emotions. These voices, thoughts and emotions are all an outpouring of confusions of many different levels and states. With a very distorted perception of the current reality, these voices, thoughts and emotions are formed and expressed. When man is in this level of confusion, when he is subjugated by the misconceptions of reality around him , the pain and suffering that he creates for himself and the people around him is very unfortunate.
你所知的最高，你就一心去追尋。不管那會不會實現。
What you know as the highest, you just seek that. It doesn’t matter whether it is going to happen or not.
我們總是試圖基於眼前的現實來創造我們的生活。這一刻，不管我們是如何的，都不是重點。我們明天想去的地方，無需與現在所處之地相關。我們在生活中想要的最巔峰，無需與我們目前的境地有任何關係。如果我們的願景受制於當前情境，那它就仍會限於那些可觸可及、簡單的、你認為可能實現的東西。不用去管你認為什麼是可能的，什麼是不可能的。而是去看看什麼是你的願景，你在你的生命中能尋求的最高的東西是什麼。
We are always trying to create our life based on the current reality that exists around us at this moment. This moment whatever may be with us is not the point. Where we want to go tomorrow need not be connected to where we are right now. What we want as the highest in life, it need not have anything to do with our present situation. If we enslave our visions to current situations, then it is once again settling for what is attainable, what is easy, what you think is possible . It is not in terms of thinking what is possible or not possible. It is just in terms of seeing what is your vision, what is the highest that you can seek in your life.
如果一個人具有想要對自己和身邊的世界做些什麼的願景，那麼他就有能力去創造它。這個願景也許會在這一世實現，也許會花幾世的時間，但是我們想要的一定會到來。對於這個人而言，他對生命的願景很清晰，並且他在生活中時時刻刻去追尋，那最高的東西就會到來，落在他的腳邊。只是因為人們充滿了各種困惑，只是因為一個人大多數時間都在追求自己不想要的——那些他真正想要的就從來不會來到他身邊。一個人的生命中缺乏願景和意志，本質上是因為他對身邊世界的扭曲認知。
If man has a vision of what he wishes to do with himself and the world around him, it is not beyond his capacity to create it. It may happen in this lifetime, it may take a couple of lifetimes but what we want will definitely come . For that person, for whom his vision of life is clear to him and he just seeks it every moment of his life, the highest things will come and fall at his feet. It is only because man is a bundle of confusion, it is only because man is most of the time seeking what he doesn't want – things that he really wants never come to him. This lack of vision and will in his life is fundamentally because of a distorted understanding of the world around us.
你所知的最高，你一心去追尋。不管那會不會實現，就純粹地帶著這個願景生活，這本身就是令人振奮的，就是自由解脫，就是充滿喜悅的過程。不管那是明天實現，還是幾百年後實現，這不是重點。但是你有一個願景，你不在乎它有沒有可能實現。你不在乎它是容易還是困難，你不在乎它是可觸及還是無法觸及，或者換句話說，你不在乎最終的結果。你就是有這個願景，你為之奉獻你的生命。這也是獲得最高的東西最簡單的方法——只是純粹地為你想要的付出你自己，不關心它是否會實現。這本身就是一個修行過程。
What you know as the highest, you just seek that. It doesn't matter whether it is going to happen or not, simply living with that vision itself is very elevating, is itself very liberating, is itself a very joyous process for any person . Whether it is going to happen tomorrow or after hundred years is not the point. But you have a vision and you are not concerned about whether it is possible or not possible. You are not concerned whether it is easy or difficult, you are not concerned whether it is attainable or non-attainable, or in other words, you are not concerned about the result in the end. It is just that you have a vision and you give your life towards it. This is one of the easiest ways to attain the highest also – to simply give yourself to what you want, not caring whether it is going to happen or not. It is a spiritual process by itself.
願景，是超越內在和外在的種種局限的一個重要方法。如果一個人想不承載著願景，不承載著意志，而存在於此，那麼這個人應該是純粹天真單純的。這樣的一個人能夠純粹地存在在此——他不需要任何願景。如果他是全然地無我，如孩童般天真，他就無需對任何事物持有自己的意志。但如果不是這樣，那麼一個人就要帶著願景生活，這是很重要的。
Vision is an important way of transcending limitations within and outside ourselves. If one wants to live here without being burdened by vision, without being burdened by will, then that person should be absolutely innocent. Such a person can simply live here – he does not need any vision. He does not have to have a will about anything, if he is absolutely egoless and childlike. If it is not so, it is very important that man lives with a vision.
是時候真正地在我們內在創造一個願景，根據我們真正想要的，而不只是為了今天。如果你看得足夠深刻，你的願景就會成為一個宇宙性的願景。在這過程中其他一切是否發生，都不是重點——你所知道的最高，不管是什麼，就帶著全然的專注去追尋。這是一個簡單的方式，去了悟當下的，以及超越當下的生命。
It is time to really create a vision within ourselves as to what we really care for, not just for today. If you look deep enough, your vision will be the universal vision. Whether everything else happens or doesn't happen on the way is not the point – whatever you have known as the highest, simply seeking that with undivided attention. That is a simple way of knowing life here and beyond.
愛與恩典 Love&Grace
