灵性练习使你打破自己的局限
Sadhguru: There are two fundamental aspects or forces, acting within every human being. One is the force of self-preservation, the instinct of self-preservation is constantly striving, to build walls of protection around yourself, and the longing to become boundless, is constantly striving to push you beyond the boundaries, in which you exist. It is these two which are finding variety of expression, either in the form of accumulation, or in the form of every kind of desire, that one can throw up is essentially the play of these two forces.
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：每个人的内在都有两个基本方面或力量在起作用。一方面是自我保护的力量、自我保护的本能，一直不停地努力在你自己周围筑起防护之墙，而对于无限的渴望却不停地努力将你推向你存在之处的边界之外。就是这两方面在寻求着各种各样的表达，要么以积累的形式，要么以一个人可能产生的各种欲望的形式，本质上都是这两种力量的作用。
Once you make the mistake of identifying yourself with something limited, the instinct of self-preservation wins hands down to a point, it almost makes it looks like the other force doesn't even exist. So the essence of working towards success in one’s sadhana is, all sadhana is essentially aimed towards expanding the limitations, breaking the boundaries of one's energy. When your energies are longing to become boundless, in your thought and emotion, if you’re identified with limited things around you, then you will create an unnecessary tussle between the two forces.
一旦你误把自己认同为有限的事物，自我保护的本能就会轻松获胜，以至于就好像另一种力量根本不存在。因此在个人的灵性练习中，向成功迈进的本质是......所有的灵性练习本质上都是为了扩展局限，打破一个人能量的边界。当你的能量渴望变得无限时，在你的思想和情感中，如果你把自己认同为周围有限的事物，你就会在这两股力量之间创造出不必要的斗争。
The secret of success is that these two should become one. Unless these two things become one, you do not have enough energy to break the limitations of the present dimension. To break the boundaries of present dimension, because now whatever you have is split; It is trying to tug you in two different directions, it will become a journey of one step forward, one step backward, one step forward, one step backward. If you are doing one step forward, one step backward, it’s very clear you are not intending to go anywhere. Maybe it’s good exercise, but you are not intending to go anywhere.
成功的秘密是，这两者应该合二为一，除非它们合二为一，否则你不会有足够的能量去打破现有维度的局限。去打破现有维度的边界，因为现在你有的一切都是分裂的，它试图把你拉向两个不同的方向，这将会变成前进一步，又后退一步的旅程，前进一步，又后退一步。如果你正在向前走一步，又往后退一步，很明显你不打算去任何地方，或许这是不错的锻炼，但你不打算去任何地方。
Once you’re identified with the limitations of your own body, what you refer to as extended body, extensions of your body are family, house, it’s not you should not have them. Having a body and being identified with is different. Similarly, having a family and being identified with it is very different. Once you’re identified with it, naturally your whole system work towards building a wall around this identity, not allowing one to expand or to break the barriers of who he is right now.
一旦你将自己认同为身体的局限，你所说的身体的延伸，你身体的延伸就是家庭、房子，并不是说你不应该拥有这些。有一个身体和把自己认同为这个身体是不同的。同样地，有一个家庭和把自己认同为这个家庭是截然不同的。一旦你把自己认同为它，很自然地，你的整个系统会围绕这个身份筑起一道墙，不允许你扩展或打破现在这个“我是谁”的边界。
Shankara laments: ‘Kaate Kaanta Dhanagat Chinta,’ which means once you’re identified with your family relationships, you can only naturally think of money and property and this and that, you cannot think of anything else. Don’t give yourself the thing,‘Oh yes, I have become like this only because of my family.’ No, you have not become like this because of your family. Because you are like this, your family has become like that. Don’t get it the other way round. It is the way you identify yourself with it that certain things are happening. Nothing outside of us is a barrier. It is the way we hold it, the way we carry the outside within ourselves is the barrier.
Shankara唉叹到：“Kaate Kaanta Dhanagat Chinta”，意思是一旦你将自己认同为你的家庭关系，自然而然地，你只会想到钱、财产、这个、那个，你无法想其它任何东西。不要认为.......“哦，是的，我变成这样都是因为我的家庭。” 不，你不是因为你的家庭才变成这样的。因为你是这样，你的家庭才会变成那样，别弄反了。正因为你将自己认同为它，才导致了某些事情的发生。外在的事物都不是障碍，是我们持有它的方式，我们内在承载外在事物的方式才是障碍。
If your energies are split one trying to build walls, another trying to break walls, it is a tussle, it a wasteful way of living. If you dedicate everything to building walls, at least you may build a great wall of India. I'm sorry, the Chinese have the greatest wall I think; Or if you put all your energies towards breaking boundaries, that will definitely happen. There are old barriers, walls which were built elsewhere, which may take a little bit of time to break, but the important thing is that you are not building new walls. Old walls can be made to crumble, but the problem is the new walls that are coming up every day. This is not something that you have to do consciously. Once you have a limited identity, everything in you builds walls, there is no other way.
如果你的能量分散了，一个试图筑建高墙，另一个试图拆除高墙，这就是一场斗争，这是浪费生命的活法。如果你倾尽全力筑建高墙，至少你也许可以建一个印度长城，抱歉，我想长城在中国。或者如果你用自己所有的能量去打破边界，那肯定会发生。一些旧的障碍、一些建在别处的墙可能需要花一点时间来打破，但重要的是，你没在筑建新的墙了。旧墙可以被拆毁，但问题是每天都有新的墙出现。这不是你需要有意识去做的事，一旦你有了有限的身份认同，你的一切都会筑起高墙，没有其它可能。
So sadhana is pushing you in one way, if your mind is pegged down to limited things, you are unnecessarily creating a tension in the system. So it’s very important it’s like you tied up your boat and you are rowing it hard, good exercise again, but you are not going anywhere. If you untie the rope, even if you do not row, slowly with the pace of the river at least you will go. Spiritual journey need not be effort-ful, it just needs to be sensible, but to come to sense, it may take effort sometimes; need not, but it may.
灵性练习正将你推向一个方向。如果你的头脑被钉在有限的事物上，你会在系统中制造不必要的紧张。因此，这很重要，这就像你把船拴住，然后使劲划桨，又是个不错的锻炼，但你哪儿也去不了，如果你松开绳子，那样即使你不划船，慢慢地，至少你会随着河水的流动而前进，灵性旅程不需要努力，只需要明智，但要做到明智，有时可能需要努力，不是必要的，但有可能需要。
