But when it comes to our inner nature,there is only one governing principle:borderless uinty.Our physical and social worlds are governed by boundaries.Our inner world needs none.To attain the ecstasy of borderless unity,which is our natural state,all you need to do is live by the guideline that all human experience is generated from within---either with the support of external stimuli or without.That is all.If you establish this within yourself absolutely,the consequences of your transactions will no longer be burdensome.
就內在本質而言,“無界合一”(borderless unity)是唯一的統御原則。我們的有形物質世界和社交世界都受到“界限”的管理和統治,但內在世界則不需要這些東西。為了達到本然狀態——“無界合一”的狂喜,你們唯一需要做的是,不論是否有外在的刺激作為支援,都依照“所有人類的體驗都源自內在”的準則來過生活,就是如此。如果你把這個準則完全奠基於內在,你交易互動的結果就不再會是沉重的。
What do we mean by this?People often ask me,"Maybe this is possible for you as a yogi,but how can we who live in the 'real world'make our interactions free of friction?"I remind them that I don't live in a cave.I also lead people.I am doing work around the world with over one million volunteers.This means they usually aren't trained for the job they are doing---and you can't fire them!Do you know how difficult it is to manage such a situation?By you won't ever see me distressed because my way of being is not in any way enslaved to what's happening outside.This is not an otherworldly achievement.It is possible for everyone to live this way.
這是什麼意思?人們常常問我:“這對身為瑜伽士的你來說或許是有可能的,但我們這些活在‘真實世界’的人怎麼能夠使互動不產生摩擦?”我提醒他們,我不是住在洞穴裡,我也帶領人們,並且和一百多萬志工一起在世界各地服務。這表示,這些志工通常不具備從事義務工作所需要的訓練,而且你不能開除他們!你知道管理這種情況有多麼困難嗎?含蓄地說,我的生命應該是最沉重的!但你不會看到我緊張焦慮,因為我的生活方式完全不受到外在發生的一切所奴役。這不是一種超脫塵世的成就,每個人都可能以這種方式過活。
If you still believe that someone "up there"is going to rescue you and solve all your problems,just remember that you are living on a round planet---and one that's spining.So,whenever you look up,you are obviously looking in the wrong direction!In this vast ever-expanding cosmos,what's up and what's down?You have no clue.Nowhere in the cosmos is it marked "This side up"!The only distinction you do know right now is "within"and "without"(although for the yogi,even this distinction has vanished).
如果你仍然相信,“上面那裡”有一個人將會解救你,解決你所有的問題,那麼只要記得,你居住在一個圓圓的且不斷轉動的星球上,每當你往上看,你顯然都是看錯方向!在這個廣大浩瀚、不斷擴充套件的宇宙中,什麼是“上”,什麼是“下”?你毫無頭緒。在宇宙中,沒有地方標示“此為上側”!你現在所知道的唯一區別是“內”和“外”(但是對瑜伽士而言,甚至連這個區別都消失了)。
