Sadhguru talks about the importance of learning to be alone if we want togetherness to be rich and rewarding.薩古魯談到，如果我們想讓共處變得富足并充滿收獲，學(xué)會(huì)獨(dú)處是非常重要的。Sadhguru: When Gautama the Buddha was asked, is it better to walk alone or in company? He said, “It's better to walk alone than to walk with a fool.” (Laughs) Well, that's him, not me. He was quite sure that only a fool will walk with you. (Laughs) So he said, “It's better to walk alone than to walk with a fool.” Certain lore in this country says, when you want to do a short and quick journey, walk alone. When you want to do a long journey, walk in company. But the important thing is, who is walking with you? Not always being together is a good thing, many times being together can be a nuisance. So, first and foremost, unless you are a twin, even then, we come alone and we go alone. If one does not know how to be by himself or herself, then being together can be a lot of nuisance.Sadhguru（薩古魯）：當(dāng)佛陀喬達(dá)摩被問(wèn)到：是獨(dú)行還是結(jié)伴同行更好時(shí)，他說(shuō)：“與其跟愚人同行，不如一人獨(dú)行?！保ㄐΓ┖冒?，那是他，不是我。他很確定只有傻瓜才會(huì)和你同行。（笑）所以他說(shuō)：“獨(dú)行比與傻瓜同行更好?！边@個(gè)國(guó)家的某些諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)，行欲速，一人走；行欲遠(yuǎn)，手牽手。但重要的是，與你同行的是誰(shuí)？共處并不總是一件好事，很多時(shí)候，共處可能是一件麻煩事。所以，首先，除非你是雙胞胎，即使那樣，我們也是一個(gè)人來(lái)一個(gè)人走。如果一個(gè)人不知道如何與自己相處，那么共處就可能帶來(lái)許多麻煩。We are referred to as human beings. Human beings means every other creature is what it is simply because of what it does. But a human being can simply be, which is a unique quality of the human being, that we can simply be, that we are not compulsive action; that's what it means. Our action is conscious and judicious, but generally when people get together, generally, people are in compulsive action. It can be an association, where there could be a purposeful action or it can be a gang where there can be more purposeful action or it can be a crowd which can be a compulsive action.我們被稱為“人類存在”（human beings）。存在意味著，其它生物是什么樣，是由它們做什么而決定的。但一個(gè)人類可以只是存在著，這是人類的特質(zhì)，也就是我們可以只是存在著，我們不是強(qiáng)迫行為，這就是它的含義。我們的行動(dòng)是有意識(shí)和審慎的，但一般來(lái)說(shuō)，當(dāng)人們聚在一起時(shí)，人們通常都處于強(qiáng)迫性的行為中。這可以是按目的而行動(dòng)的聯(lián)盟；也可以是一個(gè)目的性更強(qiáng)的幫派；或者可以是一群出于強(qiáng)迫性而行動(dòng)的人。So, essentially, to be human means we have reached that point of evolution within ourselves that if we wish, we can simply sit here, just be. We can consider as to what action to take and what not to take. This is definitely individual. When individuals come together, we say it’s “We” in plural, but still it is individuals who have to come together. To be an individual means you are not further divisible, that means you are just one.所以，本質(zhì)上，作為人類意味著我們的內(nèi)在已經(jīng)達(dá)到了那個(gè)進(jìn)化點(diǎn)，要是我們希望的話，我們可以只是坐在這里，僅僅存在著。我們可以考慮要采取什么行動(dòng)以及不采取什么行動(dòng)，這絕對(duì)是個(gè)人的。當(dāng)個(gè)體聚在一起時(shí)，我們說(shuō)這是“我們”，用復(fù)數(shù)形式，但那仍然是聚在一起的個(gè)體。作為一個(gè)個(gè)體，意味著你不能被進(jìn)一步分割，意味著你僅僅是一個(gè)。People find different ways to divide themselves within themselves. In India, with a 10,000 years of cultural history, we have invented various words to divide ourselves. It's very common for people to talk in terms of atma, paramatma, ahankara, this one and that one. But every culture has this in their own way. When things are going right, when good things are being done, if you ask people, they say, “Yes, I did it.” When things don't go right, when things go wrong, then they will try to find somebody. If they don't find anybody, he's always there. (Laughs) When they are very wonderful, of course they take pride in being how wonderful they are. When they turn nasty, they say, “It was my ego.” Mr. Ego is always a fall guy.人們找到了不同的方法在內(nèi)在分割自己。在擁有10000年文化歷史的印度，我們創(chuàng)造了各種不同的詞匯來(lái)分割我們自己。人們經(jīng)常談?wù)撜嫖?，超我，我?zhí)，這個(gè)和那個(gè)，但每種文化都有它們自己的方式來(lái)表達(dá)這些。當(dāng)事情順利時(shí)，當(dāng)做了好事時(shí)，如果你問(wèn)人們，他們說(shuō)：“是的，這是我做的。”當(dāng)事情不順利時(shí)，當(dāng)事情出錯(cuò)時(shí)，那么他們就會(huì)想找替罪羊，如果找不到，他（指神）總是在那里。（笑）當(dāng)他們感覺(jué)非常美好時(shí)，他們當(dāng)然會(huì)為自己有多美好而自豪。當(dāng)他們變得很讓人討厭時(shí)，他們會(huì)說(shuō)：“是小我的問(wèn)題。”小我先生總是那個(gè)替罪羊。So individual means, that if I'm wonderful, it's me; if I'm nasty, it's me. All of you, are you 24 hours wonderful? Hello? Are you 24 hours wonderful? No, no, sometimes wonderful, sometimes nasty, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly. It's okay. If we understand it is me who is capable of being absolutely wonderful and it is me who is capable of being absolutely nasty another moment, then gradually the number of moments of nastiness will keep on receding.所以個(gè)體意味著，如果我是美好的，那就是我；如果我很討厭，那還是我。你們大家是24小時(shí)都是美好的嗎？嗯？你們是24小時(shí)都是美好的嗎？不，不是的，有時(shí)美好，有時(shí)討厭，有時(shí)美麗，有時(shí)丑陋，這不要緊。如果我們明白，我既能變得絕對(duì)美好，另一時(shí)刻也能變得絕對(duì)令人討厭，那么漸漸地，討厭的時(shí)刻就能不斷減少。If I see what is wonderful is me, what is nasty is… In India, we have many words, “It's my karma. What can I do?” No, you must fix this. Being an individual is very important. That means you're not further divisible. If I'm wonderful, it's me. If I'm nasty, it's me. If I succeed, it's me. If I fail, it's me. You have to fix this.如果我理解美好的是我，討厭的是……在印度，我們有許多詞匯，“那是我的業(yè)力，我能做什么？”不是的，你必須處理好這個(gè)問(wèn)題。成為一個(gè)個(gè)體是非常重要的。那意味著你不能被進(jìn)一步分割了。如果我很美好，這是我; 如果我很討厭，這還是我；如果我成功了，那是我；如果我失敗了，那仍然是我，你得處理好這個(gè)問(wèn)題。I'm just asking you a simple question. Within this, how many people? Hello? How many people within you? One? Two? Only one. If you're one, you’re normal human being. If you're more than one, you're either schizophrenic or you're possessed. You either need a psychiatrist or an exorcist. But you will see whenever things don't go right, another guy will pop up from somewhere.我就問(wèn)你一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的問(wèn)題——在這里面，有幾個(gè)人？嗯？你的內(nèi)在有幾個(gè)人？一個(gè)？?jī)蓚€(gè)？只有一個(gè)。如果你是一個(gè)人，你是一個(gè)正常人。如果不止一個(gè)，你要么是精神分裂，要么是著魔了。你需要一個(gè)精神病醫(yī)生或者驅(qū)魔師。但你會(huì)看到，每當(dāng)事情進(jìn)展不順時(shí)，另一個(gè)家伙就會(huì)從某個(gè)地方跳出來(lái)。So becoming an individual means you killed all those pop-ups and just said, “This is me.” ” This what is me has many dimensions. If I don't see this is an individual, I cannot divide this further, then transformation will not happen. If transformation does not happen, if people come together in that state, there will be more mess than solutions.所以成為一個(gè)個(gè)體意味著，你干掉了所有那些跳出來(lái)的家伙，然后只是說(shuō)：“這就是我”。這個(gè)“什么是我”有許多維度。如果我不把這看成是一個(gè)個(gè)體，不看到我無(wú)法把這再進(jìn)一步分割，那么轉(zhuǎn)化就不會(huì)發(fā)生。如果沒(méi)有轉(zhuǎn)化，如果人們以那種狀態(tài)共處，那麻煩會(huì)比辦法多。All creatures hang out together. Whether it is various wild creatures, most of them hang out together. Even monkeys who are just one step behind us, they are also in bunches. It is only human being who can sit alone and transform himself or herself because this is the prerogative of being human that we can simply be. This is why you are called human being.所有生物都是群居的。不管哪種野生生物，它們大部分都是群居在一起的。即使是比我們僅僅落后一步的猴子，它們也是一群一群的。只有人類可以獨(dú)自坐著，轉(zhuǎn)化他或她自己，因?yàn)檫@是作為人類的特權(quán)，我們可以只是存在著，這就是你被稱為人類存在的原因。You're capable of being. You are not in a compulsive state of activity. If you want, consciously you can evolve. In this evening you can evolve, if you're willing. It doesn't take a million years because our evolution is not biological anymore, our evolution is conscious. For every other creature, it is fixed. Nature has fixed two lines within which every other creature lives and goes. But once you have come as a human being, there is only bottom line; there is no top line. There is no limit as to how a human being can become.你有能力存在，你不是處于一個(gè)強(qiáng)迫的行動(dòng)狀態(tài)。如果你想，你可以有意識(shí)地進(jìn)化，今晚你就可以進(jìn)化，如果你愿意。它不需要花一百萬(wàn)年，因?yàn)槲覀兊倪M(jìn)化不再是生物性的，我們的進(jìn)化在意識(shí)層面。對(duì)任何其它生物來(lái)說(shuō)，這是固定的。自然界已經(jīng)固定好兩條線，所有其它生物都在這兩條線里去生去死。但一旦你作為人類來(lái)到世上，就只有底限，沒(méi)有上限。一個(gè)人可以成為什么樣，這是沒(méi)有限制的。So before we associate ourselves with people, it'll be good every day in the morning or a certain period of your life if one withdraws to spend a little time with oneself and see how, in what ways can this be a little better than the way it was yesterday. This life, how it can be a little better life than what it was yesterday. Because most people are coming together for their needs. To fulfill needs, people come together. Some people come together to fulfill a purpose or a cause. Some people come together to eat, drink and be together because they cannot be alone.所以在我們?nèi)ジ鷦e人打交道之前，一個(gè)很好的做法是，每天早晨，或者你生活中的某個(gè)時(shí)段，如果你抽空花點(diǎn)時(shí)間和自己相處，去看看自己如何能變得比昨天更好一點(diǎn)。這個(gè)生命，它如何能變得比昨天更好一點(diǎn)。因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)人聚在一起是為了他們的需求。為了滿足需求，人們聚在一起。有些人聚在一起是為了完成某個(gè)目的或事業(yè)。有些人聚在一起吃吃喝喝，一起待著，因?yàn)樗麄儫o(wú)法獨(dú)處。This is something that every human being must do. A certain period of time, you do one thing, just 24 hours, take a break from everything. Not today, right now you're among people. You take a break sometime, just 24 hours and don't read, don't watch television, don't use a phone; simply sit in your room, alert, not sleeping. And if you watch the nature of your mind, you yourself will certify “This is a madman.”這是每個(gè)人必須要做的事情。一段時(shí)間內(nèi)，你做一件事：只是24小時(shí)，停下所有事情。不是今天，現(xiàn)在你正在人群中。你抽出某段時(shí)間，就24小時(shí)，然后不看書(shū)，不看電視，不用手機(jī)，只是在你的房間警覺(jué)地坐著，不睡覺(jué)。然后如果你觀察你頭腦的本質(zhì)，你自己就會(huì)作出診斷：“這是個(gè)瘋子”。Because for most people, their mind cannot stay on any one thing unless they're in activity; simply they cannot be here. In compulsive state of psychological activity is on; when you are like this, you cannot be. That means you cannot be a human being. Being has to happen, only then togetherness will be very rich. If you know how to be by yourself, then coming together will be hugely rewarding and of tremendous value, that means we came together consciously.因?yàn)閷?duì)于大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，他們的頭腦無(wú)法停留在任何一件事上，除非他們處于活動(dòng)中，要不然就待不住。心理活動(dòng)一直在強(qiáng)迫地進(jìn)行著；當(dāng)你這樣的時(shí)候，你是無(wú)法存在的。那意味著你無(wú)法成為一個(gè)人類存在。必須要能做到獨(dú)自存在，只有這樣共處才會(huì)是非常富足的。如果你知道如何獨(dú)處，那么共處將會(huì)是大有裨益和極有價(jià)值的，那意味著我們是有意識(shí)地共處。
