Depression and psychological situations can lead people to the extreme step of suicide. Sadhguru delves into the cause of suicide and explains how Yoga can help a person stay blissful by one’s own nature, regardless of external situations.
抑鬱和心理狀況可能會導致人們邁出自殺這極端的一步。薩古魯深入分析了自殺的原因，並解釋了瑜伽如何能幫助一個人保持本性上的幸福感，不管外在情形怎樣。
Sadhguru: Every year, 800,000 people are committing suicide in this world. This is more than all the crime murders and war deaths put together. This means that every forty seconds, one person is taking their own life. It is just that only when someone that you know dies or when someone who is popular or significant in our society dies, everyone sits up.
Sadhguru（薩古魯）：每年，這個世界上有80萬人自殺。這比所有謀殺和戰爭導致的死亡人數加起來還多。這意味著，每40秒就有一個人了結自己的生命。只是，只有當你認識的人死了或者社會名人要員死了時，大家才會注意。
What Causes Suicidal Thoughts?
什麼導致了自殺念頭？
Why would a human being want to take their own life? Some may be committing suicide because of their life situations, but a whole lot of people are committing suicide because of their psychological situations.
為什麼一個人會想了結自己的生命？有的人可能是迫於生活境遇而自殺，但很大一部分人是因為心理狀況而自殺。
When they are blissful by their own nature, why would anyone take their own life? Why would anyone be depressed?
當他們從本性上感到幸福時，怎麼會想了結自己的生命？怎麼會感到抑鬱？
We have not inculcated anything in our education system which tells us how to handle our physiology and psychological structure. Most human beings have not been taught how to handle their own intelligence. If you had half the brain that you have, you would have no mental ailments. Now, you have a certain level of intelligence but neither have you been through a training nor do you live in a social situation where you are taught how to use your intelligence towards your wellbeing. So your own intelligence is turning against you. It looks so hopeless as if there is simply no way out of it. This leads to people committing suicide.
關於如何掌控我們的生理和心理體系，我們的教育體系還沒有加入任何內容。而如何掌控自己智力，大多數人都沒有接受過相關教育。如果你的大腦只有你現在的一半，你不會有心理疾病。而現在，你擁有一定程度的智力，但你既沒經過訓練，所處社會環境也沒有讓你學會用你的智力去實現自己幸福。所以你的智力在與你作對。這看起來如此絕望，就好像根本沒有出路一樣。這導致了人們去自殺。
That can easily be stopped if there is a proper system where right from childhood everyone is taught certain processes where they become blissful by their own nature, their experience of life is naturally pleasant. When they are blissful by their own nature, why would anyone take their own life? Why would anyone be depressed?
如果有種適當的體系，讓每個人從小就學習一些方法，讓自己靠本性變得幸福，對生命有自然的愉悅體驗，那麼就可以輕鬆阻止上述情況。當他們從本性上感到幸福時，怎麼會想了結自己的生命？怎麼會感到抑鬱？
Getting Out of Depression
走出抑鬱
The word “depression” is not only clinical depression. If two things go wrong with your life today, you could be mildly depressed. I think a majority of people start getting depressed, at one time or the other, because of some life situation. But within a few hours they will talk themselves out of it. They will use some kind of inspiration – their love for someone, the nation, or something else that matters to them in their life – and work themselves out of it. Either you will talk yourself out of it or you will talk to your friend or family and they will talk you out of it; otherwise you will seek professional help.
“抑鬱”這個詞不僅僅是指臨床上的抑鬱症。如果今天你的生活中有兩樣事情出錯了，你可能會輕微抑鬱。我認為，大多數人因為某種生活境遇而從某刻開始變得抑鬱。但在幾小時之內他們就能自己走出來。他們會用某種激勵——對某個人、對國家或者對生命中其它重要東西的愛——努力讓自己走出來。要麼你說服自己走出來，要麼你與朋友或家人談心然後他們說服你走出來；再者，你會尋求專業幫助。
If there was no way out of depression, why would a psychologist sit with you and talk to you for hours? Obviously, they know that they can talk you out of it. Otherwise there is chemical help. When it comes to chemistry, this human mechanism is the most sophisticated chemical factory on the planet. The question is only whether you a great manager or a lousy manager of this chemistry. Yoga means that you become a very efficient manager of your own chemical factory.
如果沒有走出抑鬱的方法，怎麼會有心理醫生坐下來和你聊好幾個小時？顯而易見，他們知道他們能說服你走出來。要不然，還有化學劑可以幫忙。說到化學，人體系統是地球上最複雜的化工廠。問題僅僅在於，你是這個化工廠的好管理員還是壞管理員。瑜伽意味著你成為自己這個化工廠的高效管理員。
Suicide Prevention through Yoga
透過瑜伽防止自殺
There is no doubt that millions of people have benefited from Yoga. We have enough experiential data that we know it works. But now blood markers are being studied and we are clearly seeing that even genetic dispositions are changing by Yogic practices.
毫無疑問，有數以百萬計的人從瑜伽中受益。我們有足夠的經驗資料讓我們知道瑜伽有用。而現在對各種血液指標的研究讓我們清楚地看到，連基因特性也會因瑜伽練習而改變。

現在對各種血液指標的研究讓我們清楚地看到，連基因特性也會因瑜伽練習而改變。
These clearly show that you not only can prevent these psychological ailments by doing the right practices but you can come also out of it if you do it the right way. The only problem is that when someone is in a state of mental depression, getting them to do the practices is a huge challenge. Unless there are dedicated people around them, supporting them in every way to make them do it every day, it will not happen. I can show you thousands of people who have come out of various mental problems by doing that because we create a supportive atmosphere. It may not be possible to make it happen in every home. The question is of application. However, there are some pathological cases which are very hard. We have also seen such cases and brought down their level of medication significantly.
這些研究清楚地表明，你不僅能透過做正確的練習來防止心理疾病，而且如果你做練習的方式恰當，你還能走出心理疾病。唯一的問題在於，當一個人處於心理抑鬱狀態時，讓他們做練習是一項巨大的挑戰。除非在他們身邊有一群盡心盡力的人，能在所有方面都支援他們，從而讓他們每天都做練習，否則康復不會發生。我可以向你展示，數以千計的人透過做練習走出了各種心理問題，因為我們創造了支援性的氛圍。這也許無法在每個家庭裡實現。問題難在操作。此外，有些病理性病例很難對付。我們也處理過這樣的病例，並且使他們的用藥量大幅度降低。
