Purushotama (talks over the song): Good morning, this is Purushotama. Today 'In the spirit' we'll hear from Yogi Bhajan and from his disciples who performed all the music for the program and who'll give some of their own impressions about spiritual life and practice.
Purushotama(在歌声中开口):早上好,我是 Purushotama。今天在「In the Spirit」节目里,我们会听到 Yogi Bhajan 讲话,也会听到他的弟子们——他们为这个节目演奏了全部音乐,还会谈谈自己对灵性生活和修习的一些感受。
This tape was made in BAI studios, some weeks ago, when Yogi Bhajan was passing through New York City. As Yogi Ji has some hundred thousand followers and ninety active centers in this country we are lucky to get an hour of his time.
这盘录音是几周前在 BAI 录音室录的,当时 Yogi Bhajan 正路过纽约市。Yogi Ji 在这个国家有几十万追随者和九十个活跃中心,我们能占用他一个小时,算是幸运。
There is an informal pragmatism and a rough and ready discipline about this teacher and his followers, which one could well call American. Though himself from India, Yogi Bhajan has forged an American yoga and American lifestyle, suited to the higher level of energy found in this country.
这位老师和他的弟子们身上,有一种不拘形式的务实,一种粗粝而随时可用的纪律,你完全可以把它叫作美国式的。Yogi Bhajan 本人来自印度,却打造出一种美国的瑜伽、美国的生活方式,适合这个国家所拥有的更高能量。
One gets a strong feeling that this Kundalini Yoga is not being imposed on our culture from the outside, but is welling up from within America, as a natural antidote to the poisons in our system and is simply using Yogi Bhajan as its instrument. No single spiritual path is suited for a majority of the seekers. Yogi Ji has found special response among young Americans, who have been in deeply involved in the drug scene. We bow with gratitude to a spiritual teacher, who has ended one of this country's roughest scenes and harmonized thousands of people there.
你会强烈感到,这门昆达里尼瑜伽(Kundalini Yoga)不是从外面强加给我们文化的,而是从美国内部涌出来的,是我们体内毒素的天然解药,只是把 Yogi Bhajan 当作它的工具。没有哪一条灵性道路适合大多数求道者。Yogi Ji 在那些深深卷入毒品场景的年轻美国人中,得到了特别的回应。我们怀着感恩顶礼一位灵性老师,他终结了这个国家最粗粝的场景之一,让那里成千上万的人归于和谐。

YB: Ong Namo, Guru Dev, Guru, Wahe Guru, Guru Ram.
YB:Ong Namo,Guru Dev,Guru,Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo,Guru Ram。
In the depth of your hearts, people are seeking how to find God; to me, it is how to find your own potential. Man understands that he has to find something beyond him. And while finding that beyond, he's trying to find methods, means. And that's why this urge is continuous. On this realm of consciousness today, in which we all are, it's not possible to be very outspokenly blunt and it's also not possible to be diplomatic on the spiritual realms.
在你们内心深处,人们在寻找如何找到神;对我来说,这是如何找到你自己的潜能。人明白自己必须找到某种超越自己的东西。而在寻找那个超越时,他就在试着找方法、找途径。所以这股冲动是持续的。在今天这个我们都身处其中的意识层面上,你不可能非常直白地说话,在灵性层面上你也不可能圆滑。
So, actually speaking, it's a very, very, crucifying state of consciousness, in which a spiritual teacher lives and walks today on this earth. You can't speak the truth, because you have a compassion to reach maximum people. And you offend those, who holds the via media of it. And you can't be diplomatic, because you don't know how to be that way. So in-between, one has to live his state of consciousness, which is the state of compromise.
所以,说实话,今天一位灵性老师在这个地球上生活和行走时,所处的是一种非常、非常受钉刑般的意识状态。你不能说真话,因为你有慈悲,想触及最多的人。而你会冒犯那些守着中间路线的人。你也不能圆滑,因为你不知道怎么做。于是夹在中间,一个人只能活出他自己的意识状态,那就是妥协的状态。
People talk about meditation. And meditation sometime, is very badly misunderstood. What I have found in four years in United State of America, people are giving meditation, just straight away giving mantras and now the result is showing up. They are unable to; first of all, it works very well for a few minutes or few years or few, fewer time and then they start having the aftereffects of that meditation. And that's what I am very much concerned about it.
人们谈论冥想。而冥想有时被严重误解。我在美国四年里发现,人们教冥想,直接就给曼陀罗,现在后果开始显现了。他们做不到;首先,它能在几分钟、几年或更短的时间里起很好的作用,然后他们就开始承受那种冥想带来的后遗症。这正是我非常担心的地方。
You must understand yoga is a scientific research of man, consciously lowing his own supreme conscious potentials. Therefore it's not proper for anybody to go into it fast or come out of it fast. There's a reasonable way to do it and it can be done by everybody.
你必须明白,瑜伽是对人的一种科学研究,让人有意识地降低自己至高的意识潜能。因此,任何人快速进入或快速退出都不合适。有一种合理的方法去做,而且每个人都能做到。
And today, I'll just give you, I'll share with you the technical know-how, for everyone, for each one, how basically you can do it. It will be basic and basic requirement of all the people, if they want to do it.
今天,我就给你们,和你们分享技术要领,给每个人,给每一位,基本上你可以怎么做。如果人们想做,这会是所有人最基本、最基本的要求。
We have got five fingers including the thumb, little finger is known as the Mercury, the ring finger is known as the Sun finger, central known as the Saturn finger and the first finger we call it Jupiter finger and then the dragon tail and dragon head, or the ego of the male.
我们有五根手指,包括拇指,小指被称为水星,无名指被称为太阳指,中指被称为土星指,食指我们叫它木星指,然后是龙尾和龙头,或者说男性的小我。
So, any time if you just take a bath, if you don't take a cold bath, start with a hot bath, have the cold bath later. But you must have the cold bath, because the blood must come out of the all extension of the outside body. Then put a ordinary blanket around, blanket underneath, sit down. Between the eyebrows and the root of the nose, meditate on that point for few minutes with breath; breathe in, breathe out. That is known as Nadi Sodni, cleansing of the channels of the body and bringing a harmony. In this harmony, you can go deeper and deeper and deeper.
所以,任何时候你只要洗个澡,如果你不洗冷水澡,就先洗热水澡,之后再洗冷水澡。但你必须洗冷水澡,因为血液必须从外部身体的所有末端回流出来。然后用一条普通的毯子裹住,下面也垫一条毯子,坐下来。在两眉之间和鼻根处,用呼吸在那个点上冥想几分钟;吸气,呼气。这被称为 Nadi Sodni,清理身体的经脉,带来一种和谐。在这种和谐中,你可以越来越深、越来越深、越来越深。
But there's a warning, those who meditate on we call it third eye point, they should be cautious. They will get lot of headaches under the situation if they do not get the energy from the solar centers, which is top of the head and project out, beam out, out of this point. Now, this is a little technical thing, it doesn't mean anything. But if you don't do it, you'll end up with half headache, sundown headaches and all those kind of things, which you'll not know what is going on. However, I am just asking you to be little careful about it.
但有一个警告,那些在我们称为第三眼的地方冥想的人,应该谨慎。如果他们不从太阳中心获得能量——也就是头顶,并从这一点投射出去、发射出去——在这种情况下,他们会得很多头痛。现在,这是有点技术性的东西,它本身没什么意义。但如果你不这样做,你最终会落得半边头痛、日落头痛以及所有这类毛病,你还不知道到底发生了什么。不过,我只是请你们对此稍微小心一点。
So, concentrate on the center of the eyebrows and the root of the nose and draw the energy from the top of the head and start beaming out the four sounds, which makes one word. First sound is 'Sa,' your thumb should touch the Jupiter finger. The second is 'Ta,' it should touch the Saturn finger. The 'Na,' it should touch the sun finger. The 'Ma,' it should touch the Mercury finger. And it becomes a instrument music of your own and your hand become your own musical instrument.
所以,把注意力集中在两眉中心和鼻根,从头顶把能量引下来,开始放射出这四个音,它们组成一个词。第一个音是「Sa」,你的拇指要碰木星指。第二个是「Ta」,要碰土星指。然后是「Na」,要碰太阳指。「Ma」,要碰水星指。它就成了你自己的一件乐器,你的手成了你自己的乐器。
Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma. While doing this, we are communicating as we are communicating. The tips, the tips in the fingers controls the brain cells and the nervous system of the brain, the great computer in the head of the man and it stimulates and permutates and combines with certain combinations of faculties in which the charge energy goes up and down and while doing that it creates a state of consciousness, where you can receive the realms of higher consciousness. In the beginning there was a word, word was with God, word is God. So, you can take the realm of those sound and cut through the barrier of the subconscious mind. And your creative intelligence can overcome the conception of your intellect thought wave, which is all the time bothering you, in your lifestyle.
Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma。做这个的时候,我们是在沟通,就像我们在沟通一样。指尖,指尖控制着脑细胞和大脑的神经系统,也就是人脑中那台伟大的计算机,它刺激、排列、组合某些官能的特定组合,电荷能量在其中上下流动,这样做的时候,它会创造出一种意识状态,让你能接收到更高意识的领域。起初有道,道与神同在,道就是神。所以,你可以承接那些音的领域,切穿潜意识心智的屏障。你的创造性智力能够超越你智性念头的构想,那念头一直在你的生活方式里困扰着你。
However, if it is not getting more technical, then start doing it slowly and gradually, louder and louder and then get into the lovers' language, which is known as whisper, 'Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma, Sa, Ta, Na, Ma.'
不过,如果不想搞得更技术化,那就开始慢慢地、渐渐地做,越来越大声,然后进入恋人的语言,也就是所谓的耳语,「Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma,Sa,Ta,Na,Ma。」
If you would have done chanting first five minutes and then you have whispered for five minutes. After that you can go deep back into the sound of the silence for five minutes, it takes fifteen minutes. And then you can come back exactly the same way, so fifteen-fifteen means thirty minutes. If these thirty minutes cannot do anything good with you and these four sounds cannot give anything to you or this one basic word, 'word was with God,' cannot do anything for you, then I don't think as a Yogi Bhajan I can do anything for you.
如果你先唱诵 5 分钟,然后耳语 5 分钟。之后你可以深深地回到静默之音里 5 分钟,这要 15 分钟。然后你可以完全按同样的方式回来,所以 15 加 15 就是 30 分钟。如果这 30 分钟不能给你带来任何好处,这四个音不能给你任何东西,或者这一个根本的词——「道与神同在」——不能为你做任何事,那我认为,作为 Yogi Bhajan,我也不能为你做任何事。
'Sa' means totality, the beginning of the earth or the planet or the galaxy, the whole universe, universe beyond universe, unlimited universe, which Guru Nanak said,
「Sa」意味着整体,地球或行星或银河的起点,整个宇宙,宇宙之外的宇宙,无限的宇宙,Guru Nanak 说,
'Paataalaa paataal lakh aagaasaa aagaas. Orak orak bhaal thakay vayd kahan ik vaat. Sehas athaarah kahan kataybaa asuloo ik dhaat. Laykhaa hoe ta likheeai laykhai hoe vinaas. Naanak ay-vai jaanee-ai aapay jaane aap.'
「Paataalaa paataal lakh aagaasaa aagaas。Orak orak bhaal thakay vayd kahan ik vaat。Sehas athaarah kahan kataybaa asuloo ik dhaat。Laykhaa hoe ta likheeai laykhai hoe vinaas。Naanak ay-vai jaanee-ai aapay jaane aap。」
He counted all that, the realms, realms of consciousness, depth and the height and the projection. But still he said, 'He is the one, who made it, only knows; who knows what He knows, He knows what He knows.'
他把那一切都数过了,那些界域,意识的界域,深度、高度和投射。但他仍然说:「制造这一切的那一位,只有他知道;谁知道他知道什么,他知道他知道什么。」
So going into those realms of the depth of consciousness, you have to take the same power with you, which God took to create this universe that was the word.
所以要进入意识深度的那些界域,你必须带上同样的力量,就是神创造这个宇宙时所用的力量,那就是话语。
So, 'Sa,' the totality; 'Ta,' the life, existence, the heat; 'Na,' the death, nothingness, absolute Sunna-Samadh, the basic principle and 'Ma,' the resurrection, rebirth, reproductivity, continuity. So, these are the basic sounds, four sounds, doubled and thus create a word Shabad, they call it, word.
所以,「Sa」,整体;「Ta」,生命、存在、热力;「Na」,死亡、虚无、绝对的 Sunna-Samadh,根本原理;「Ma」,复活、重生、再生、延续。所以,这些是基本的声音,四个声音,加倍之后,就造出一个词——Shabad,他们叫它,话语。
So, in the beginning there was a word, word was, word is with God, is with God, now it is with you, God is within you. You have to find the realm of your kingdom within you. And with this word within you, you have to create this meditation. It's a creative intelligence, which can break through the realms of the subconscious mind. The conscious mind can break through the subconscious mind and you can perceive, receive, feel, experience the supreme conscious mind.
所以,太初有话语,话语与神同在,与神同在,现在它与你同在,神就在你之内。你必须在你自己之内找到你王国的界域。带着你之内这个话语,你必须创造出这个冥想。它是一种创造性的智力,能够穿透潜意识心智的界域。显意识心智能够穿透潜意识心智,你就能感知、接收、感受、体验那至高的意识心智。
This kind of meditation should be done with a spine straight, that's one little condition with it. And you should always clean your body. Therefore you have to have a shower. You have a creative power to create this sound. I repeat it for you, Sa, Sa, S A, Sa; Ta, T A, Ta; Na, N A, Na; Ma, M A, Ma.
这种冥想应该脊柱挺直来做,这是它一个小小的条件。而且你应该始终保持身体洁净。所以你得冲个澡。你有创造这个声音的创造力。我为你重复一遍,Sa,Sa,S A,Sa;Ta,T A,Ta;Na,N A,Na;Ma,M A,Ma。
So, this is a space age, I think in this Christ consciousness, God consciousness and human consciousness and love consciousness, whatever you want to call it, this is very practical way to reach you, to do this meditation. Do it again and again. When you will do this type of meditation lot of light, lot of colors will start being shown to you at the third eye point. Do not worry about it, that's a normal situation. And the second is that when you will be just little go deeper into this, you will hear lot of super sounds around your own ears, which you have never heard before. Don't feel that you have achieved something or it is important for you, just bypass that. So, all those lights and all those sounds, which you hear, bypass them and beyond that. Then you will start having a power to listen to something, which is to happen, to feel and know, what is to happen. Feel what other man is going to talk to you, what realm of mind he has got, you can read anybody's mind.
所以,这是太空时代,我想,在这基督意识、神的意识、人的意识和爱的意识里,不管你想怎么称呼它,这是抵达你、做这个冥想的非常实际的方法。一遍又一遍地做。当你做这种冥想时,大量的光、大量的颜色会开始在你的第三眼显现给你。不要为此担心,那是正常的情况。第二点是,当你稍微深入一点,你会听到自己耳朵周围许多超级声音,是你以前从未听过的。不要觉得你成就了什么,或者这对你很重要,直接绕过它。所以,所有那些光,所有那些你听到的声音,绕过它们,超越它们。然后你就会开始有一种能力,去聆听将要发生的事,去感受和知道将要发生什么。感受别人要跟你谈什么,他处在什么心智界域,你能读任何人的心。
Don't worry about these supernatural powers; they come to a very ordinary man. Beyond that there is a realm of contentment. That is the realm through which this word you can find it and that is the realm, then the universe will serve you. Then you sit uptight and just enjoy your own self and everything will happen right in time for you. Isn't it great, great gift to do?
别去操心那些神通;它们会降临到一个极其普通的人身上。在那之上,还有一个满足的境界。就是那个境界,通过这个词你能找到它,而一旦到了那个境界,宇宙就会为你服务。那时你端坐不动,只是享受你自己,一切都会在恰当的时候为你发生。这难道不是一件了不起的、了不起的礼物吗?
So, it is beautiful the word has been asked to be sung. This is how I sing it, 'Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa. Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma; Sa, Ta, Na, Ma.'
所以,很美,有人请求把这个词唱出来。我就是这样唱的,「Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa。Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma;Sa,Ta,Na,Ma。」

Purushotama: Yogi Ji, what, what is the Nam?
Purushotama:Yogi Ji,什么,什么是 Nam?
YB: Nam is the sound that is the Shabad. That is, that must have certain sound and light principle involved in it.
YB:Nam 就是那个声音,就是 Shabad。也就是说,它里面必定涉及某种声音与光的原理。
Purushotama: Is that the Nam that you just (?).
Purushotama:那就是你刚才(?)的那个 Nam 吗?
YB: That is the Nam, that is the, that is the Nam, that is the Nam in the human form when we speak that way, then four sounds we talk about, Sa, Ta, Na, Ma.
YB:那就是 Nam,那就是,那就是 Nam,那就是以人的形态呈现的 Nam,当我们那样说的时候,我们谈到四个声音,Sa,Ta,Na,Ma。
Purushotama: Can, can one practice the Nam without any practice of yoga or, or do they compliment?
Purushotama:一个人能不能不练瑜伽就修 Nam,还是说,两者是互补的?
YB: Yoga has to be done; in the sense, you have to learn how to keep your spine straight, you have to have a perfect posture. And yoga gives you a perfect posture. Posture has to be perfect.
YB:瑜伽必须做;意思是,你必须学会如何保持脊柱挺直,你必须有一个完美的姿势。而瑜伽给你一个完美的姿势。姿势必须完美。
Purushotama: Can you practice yoga without the Nam?
Purushotama:那能不能不修 Nam 只练瑜伽?
YB: Well, it is just driving a car without a gas. I mean to say, you ten people can get around and, and push it. Nam is the ultimate, Nam is a... without Nam there is nothing. I mean to say, yoga doesn't mean anything without Nam. Nam is the final realm, which one must achieve, word.
YB:嗯,那就好比开一辆没油的车。我的意思是说,你们十个人可以围着它,推着它走。Nam 是终极,Nam 是……没有 Nam,什么都没有。我的意思是说,没有 Nam,瑜伽毫无意义。Nam 是最终的境界,是人必须达到的,那个词。
Purushotama: Can you, would you characterize Nam as devotion, as a, the relation to Nam as a devotion?
Purushotama:你能不能,你会不会把 Nam 说成是奉爱,把与 Nam 的关系说成是一种奉爱?
YB: No.
YB:不。
Purushotama: A feeling of devotion or feeling of knowledge?
Purushotama:是一种奉爱的感觉,还是一种知识的感觉?
YB: No, no, no, no, nothing, it is beyond everything. Nam means the sound of the infinite realms or sound of the supreme consciousness. And I don't know, whether people will feel right or wrong, but after about ten other thousand years, what I am saying today will come true. Man will find certain sounds and certain frequencies of sound, which he doesn't know even, he has not started to know it. I mean to say we are so illiterate and so limited in our knowledge.
YB:不,不,不,不,什么都不是,它超越一切。Nam 意味着无限境界的声音,或者说最高意识的声音。我不知道人们会觉得对还是错,但大约再过一万年,我今天所说的会成真。人类会发现某些声音、某些声音的频率,那是他连知道都还不知道的,他还没开始知道。我的意思是说,我们的知识是如此贫乏,如此有限。
Purushotama: Is music a way to the sound?
Purushotama:音乐是通往音流的一条路吗?
YB: It is one way, it's one of the ways. One of; one of the meditation, which we use in Kundalini Yoga to make a man Kalimaan. Kalimaan means one who has the experience of the Kundalini. And it's very, very top secret and well-guarded secret, unknown and cannot be told to anybody. But, what is there when sun rises, this is the Kundalini time, so, let everybody share it.
YB:它是一种方式,是其中一种方式。是我们在昆达里尼瑜伽里用来让人成为 Kalimaan 的冥想之一。Kalimaan 的意思是,一个体验过昆达里尼的人。这是非常、非常顶级的秘密,是严守的秘密,不为人知,不能告诉任何人。可是,太阳升起的时候,那就是昆达里尼的时刻,所以,让每个人都来分享它吧。
Purushotama: So, you are, you are sharing, you are sharing a kind of practice, which has been secret in the past and...
Purushotama:所以,你是在分享,你是在分享一种过去一直秘传的练习,而且……
YB: Yeah,
YB:是的,
Purushotama: Now you feel like it could be revealed.
Purushotama:现在你觉得它可以被揭示出来了。
YB: It is, it is the time it is because I feel that all the people have to practice it. Well, I am a channel you know, water comes to your house and water pipe is not important, water is important, knowledge is important. I mean to say those people who have their Karma in their life that today they will hear this tape. They will only hear who are supposed to hear, everybody won't switch on their radio even today. But those, whom this is meant for, shall happen. I mean to say, you were supposed to interview me, you are interviewing me. If I would not have come, you would not have interviewed, things would have been different.
YB:是的,是时候了,因为我觉得所有人都必须练习它。嗯,我是一个通道,你知道,水来到你家,水管不重要,水才重要,知识才重要。我的意思是说,那些生命里有这种业力的人,今天就会听到这盘磁带。只有该听到的人才会听到,不是每个人今天都会打开收音机。但是那些注定要听到的人,就会听到。我的意思是说,你注定要来采访我,你就在采访我。如果我没来,你就不会采访,事情就会不一样。
Nothing can be called an accident and there's no such thing as accident. Man is just a puppet of an environmental universal energy, so crossed with the time and space, that it is a orbit of it, which moves on. And this bindu, this point, this creature, he has to move in those realms, though he has a corridor. Like air corridor, you know you can go twenty miles north, twenty miles south, in-between you can run around. But crossing the corridor is not within the realms until you have the power to have known the depth of other realms then you can do it.
没有什么能被称为意外,根本没有意外这回事。人只是一个傀儡,被环境性的宇宙能量操控着,与时间和空间交错,它是一条自己的轨道,向前运行。而这个 bindu,这个点,这个造物,他必须在那些领域里移动,尽管他有一条走廊。就像空中走廊,你知道,你可以往北飞 20 英里,往南飞 20 英里,在中间你可以到处跑。但越过这条走廊,就不在你的领域之内了,除非你有力量去了解其他领域的深度,那时你才能做到。
Purushotama: Is this country a suitable place to reveal Kundalini Yoga?
Purushotama:这个国家适合揭示昆达里尼瑜伽吗?
YB: This is the only country, which will learn it, other will only mock about it. When I came about four years ago, people were so much against it and today this is the maximum people want to learn it.
YB:这是唯一会学会它的国家,别的国家只会嘲笑它。四年前我刚来的时候,人们那么反对它,而今天,这是最多人想学的东西。
Purushotama: Does, does a person have to be particularly or endowed with strength to sustain the Kundalini practice?
Purushotama:一个人是不是必须特别有力量,或者天生具备某种力量,才能坚持昆达里尼的练习?
YB: Everybody has his infinite potential. It is not that, people may misunderstand me, today on this things. Because I am a basically Hatha Yogi and I can do all the hundred and eight postures. I have quite a body trained for that for years. I have trained also Hatha Yogi. Means, I am basically what I am trying to convince is, I have done all the twenty-two channels of yoga and I have enjoyed it. But you know, in Hatha Yoga for a posture perfection you take twelve years; in Raj Yoga for meditation on your psychic center you take six years; in Mantra Yoga, then you take three years and then Laya Yoga, that mantra, which we have perfected must be tuned in into the realm of the sound, takes two years and then you come to a Kalimaan or a master of Kundalini Yoga. And then he will give you a training for ninety days. So, why not to basically start with certain fundamentals.
YB:每个人都有他无限潜能。不是说,今天在这件事上人们可能会误解我。因为我基本上是个哈他瑜伽士,一百零八个体式我全都能做。我有一副为此训练多年的身体。我也训练过哈他瑜伽士。意思是,我基本上想说的是,瑜伽的二十二条通道我全都走过,而且我很享受。但你知道,在哈他瑜伽里,要把一个体式做到完美,你得花 12 年;在王瑜伽里,要在你的心识中心上冥想,你得花 6 年;在曼陀罗瑜伽里,你得花 3 年;然后是拉亚瑜伽,那个我们已经练成的曼陀罗,必须调频进入音流的领域,要花 2 年;然后你才来到一位 Kalimaan,也就是昆达里尼瑜伽的大师面前。然后他会给你 90 天的训练。那么,为什么不干脆从某些基本功开始呢。
Actually speaking, all this yoga existed. Kundalini Yoga was later on asked by saints and sages. Because the householders, they can't give all that time. It's not possible to put those all twenty-two years of the major life to learn that way. That's why, a system was organized that's what a Kundalini Yoga is. It is a, it's a, it's a, it is a, it is a situation, which, when you can just cut down the realms of time, that's all.
其实说起来,所有这些瑜伽本来就存在。昆达里尼瑜伽是后来圣人和见者们才求来的。因为在家修行的人拿不出那么多时间。不可能把一生中那整整 22 年的主要时光都投进去,用那种方式去学。所以,就整理出了一套体系,那就是昆达里尼瑜伽。它是一种,它是一种,它是一种,它是一种,它是一种情境,让你能把时间的领域直接缩短,就这样。
Purushotama: How, how long does it, does it take for someone to become established in Kundalini Yoga, introduced through your (?)?
Purushotama:那么,一个人要花多久,才能在你的(?)引导下,在昆达里尼瑜伽里站稳?
YB: Well it is, it is so, with some people it can be just a slip on the floor and they feel, they have gone and seen the Infinity. Some people, some right time it happens to them, just because their previous incarnation they were ready for it. Some people just do it in very small days, some take lot times, some have just spent four years and they have just not progressed two inches.
YB:嗯,它是,它是这样,对有些人来说,可能只是在地板上滑一跤,他们就觉得自己已经去了、见到了无限。有些人,是在某个恰当的时刻发生在他们身上,只因为他们前世就已经准备好了。有些人只用了很短的日子就做到了,有些人花了很多时间,有些人已经花了 4 年,却连两英寸都没前进。
Purushotama: I am a, I am a friend of, of one of, some of Yogi Ji's disciples, they have a restaurant in Washington called 'Golden Temple.' And they have, if they have raised Kundalini power, they are putting it to most practical use and it's a beautiful restaurant and, and very successful and... So, (?) you are not encouraging your disciples just to, just to sit around and in caves experiencing Kundalini.
Purushotama:我是,我是 Yogi Ji 某几位弟子中一位的朋友,他们在华盛顿开了一家餐馆,叫「金庙」。而且他们,如果他们真的唤起了昆达里尼能量,他们就是把它用在最实际的地方,那是一家很美的餐馆,而且,而且非常成功,所以……(?)你并不鼓励你的弟子只是,只是坐在山洞里体验昆达里尼。
YB: No, no, no, no, no, no, our, our problem is very simple. Let us be very blunt on that. I am a very, very blunt. We get up early in the morning, because we know the technical know-how not to sleep eight hours and we know medically man requires only maximum one hour or two hour sleep. So basically, we give that technique, so that people can just cut down that and get up in the morning, have shower, do the meditation, get ready to face the whole day and whole world. And they do it, they do it very fine job. And then we love to earn with the sweat of our brow that is the highest dignity of the man. No, no laying your number on welfares and no buying food stamps, just art of giving. Give, that is the, that is the action of God. God gives, man takes all the time.
YB:不,不,不,不,不,不,我们的,我们的问题很简单。咱们就把话说白了吧。我是个非常、非常直白的人。我们一大早起床,是因为我们懂得那个技术诀窍,知道不必睡八个小时,而且我们从医学上知道,人最多只需要睡一两个小时。所以基本上,我们给出那个方法,让人们就能把睡眠减下来,早上起来,冲个澡,做冥想,准备好去面对一整天、面对整个世界。他们就这么做,而且做得非常好。然后我们喜欢靠自己的汗水挣饭吃,那是人最高的尊严。不,不靠把自己的号码挂在福利救济上,也不买食品券,只是给予的艺术。给予,那就是,那就是神的行动。神给予,人却一直在拿。
Purushotama: The first time I met you, Yogi Ji, was at I was having dinner with some mutual friends and I, you asked me at the end of the evening, (?), "What are you seeking, just give it to me in one little word."
Purushotama:Yogi Ji,我第一次见到你,是在我和几个共同的朋友一起吃晚饭的时候,那天晚上快结束时你问我,(?),「你在追寻什么,就用一个小词告诉我。」
And I said, I said, "Bliss."
我说,我说,「极乐。」
You smiled and you said, "Get it in serving people."
你笑了,你说,「在服务他人中得到它。」
And I have always remembered that, that was a very (?).
我一直记着这句话,那真是非常(?)。
YB: Well, you are right. Basically, you must understand, now I see your aura right and I see your destiny, it's already written, that's the way you have been produced. Not only you will, you have not yet started serving people, you'll serve the whole world one day. I mean, I am not making a prophecy, but this is how it is written in your destiny. Your voice will reach from one corner to the other corner of the world. I don't know how it's going to happen, but that's what the destiny is. But however you may try to change it. I mean to say if you try to tomorrow open a boutique shop, you can't do that.
YB:嗯,你说得对。基本上,你必须明白,现在我看你的能量圈,看你的天命,它早就写好了,你就是这样被造出来的。不只是你会,你还没开始服务他人,有一天你会服务整个世界。我的意思是,我不是在预言,而是你的天命里就是这么写的。你的声音会从世界的一个角落传到另一个角落。我不知道这会怎么发生,但天命就是这样。不管你怎么想改它。我的意思是说,如果你明天想开一家精品店,你做不到。
So, there are certain channels, people are channels. So, what I mean to say is, serving people, working practically, living happy, shining, peaceful, contentment, is the highest gesture. Because if you not know the God, God is Unknown, His creation is known. So the artist can be known through art. So, knowing the realms of the creation is to know the Creator. And the knowing the realm of the creation is only to know through service. And that is already written before your birth on your very forehead when you came out. Stamped they call it, eight cent stamped letter will go all over in United State America.
所以,有一些渠道,人就是渠道。所以我的意思是,服务他人,实实在在地做事,活得快乐、闪耀、平和、满足,这是最高的姿态。因为如果你不认识神,神是不可知的,他的造物却是可知的。所以艺术家可以通过艺术被认识。所以,认识造物的各个领域,就是认识造物主。而认识造物的各个领域,只能通过服务去认识。而这在你出生之前,就已经写在你额头上,在你出来的时候。他们叫它盖章,一封八分钱的盖章信会走遍整个美利坚合众国。
Purushotama: No saving stamps.
Purushotama:不是储蓄邮票。
YB (laughs): No saving stamps.
YB(笑):不是储蓄邮票。
Purushotama: Ah, you, you say that you are, you are, you are teaching teachers, that's the way you, that's the way you often put it otherwise (?) simply disciples.
Purushotama:啊,你,你说你是在,你是在培养老师,你常常这么说,不然(?)就只是弟子。
YB: You know my, my idea... No, no, I don't want to get into the jazz, disciples. What is a disciple? Who's a disciple of whom? God created the creature, God created me. And look what a beauty it is, sometime I say, 'what a humble man and little man I am and God has made a yogi out of me,' I mean to say it is His pleasure, I mean, it's, it's not something. When the lowest of a low and the meanest of the mean is raised to the highest realm, to be respected and revered by the people, that is we call the mantra, Sat Nam Wahe Guru. Wa, what a beautiful it is, that he's a light of the God. It's not the individual important.
YB:你知道我的,我的想法……不,不,我不想扯进那些花哨的东西,弟子。什么是弟子?谁是谁的弟子?神创造了万物,神创造了我。看看这多美,有时我说,「我多么谦卑、多么渺小,而神却把我造就成了一个瑜伽士」,我是说这是祂的喜悦,我是说,这,这不是什么别的东西。当最低贱中的最低贱、最卑劣中的最卑劣被提升到最高的境界,被人尊敬和敬仰,这就是我们所说的曼陀罗(Mantra),Sat Nam Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo。哇,这多美啊,他是神的一道光芒。重要的不是个人。
So, you know, some people, some kind people, some great people, some sages, some saints, shared this knowledge with me out of compassion. They made me a master. Why should not I make others as masters? Why should I run around and give them run arounds and you know. What for? Who am I? I got it, I have it, I share with it and I share with others as it came to me, so, I give.
所以,你知道,有些人,一些善良的人,一些伟大的人,一些见者,一些圣徒,出于慈悲把这份知识分享给了我。他们把我造就成了一位大师。我为什么不该把别人也造就成大师?我为什么要到处跑,给他们绕圈子,你知道的。为了什么?我是谁?我得到了它,我拥有它,我分享它,我把它分享给别人,就像它来到我这儿一样,所以,我给出去。
Purushotama: So, so your friends, you can call them or your or your nieces and nephews, whatever you want to call.
Purushotama:所以,所以你的朋友们,你可以这么称呼他们,或者你的,或者你的侄儿侄女们,你想怎么称呼都行。
YB: We call them a family in which you know, where there's a father-daughter relationship. Well, let anybody think me anything, some people think I am a nut, I don't care, you know.
YB:我们称他们为一个家庭,你知道,那里有父女的关系。好吧,随别人怎么想我,有些人觉得我是个疯子,我不在乎,你知道。
Purushotama: But they all, will these will be qualified teachers?
Purushotama:但他们都会,这些都会是合格的老师吗?
YB: They are qualified teachers, not will be, they are qualified teachers, they are serving people. We learn and we teach, we teach and we learn. I mean to say, if in this hand we take, that hand we give, we don't keep anything. So, the continuous flow is there. We have no time realm, we have to live above time, above clouds and the sunshine. It's very difficult sometime to even think on it, but if you practically think and this is the only way. There is only one way and that is the way of righteousness.
YB:他们是合格的老师,不是将会是,他们是合格的老师,他们在服务人们。我们学习,我们也教;我们教,我们也学。我是说,如果这只手拿进来,那只手就给出去,我们什么都不留。所以,那持续的流动就在那里。我们没有时间的领域,我们必须活在时间之上,活在云层和阳光之上。有时候连想一想都很难,但如果你实际地去想,这是唯一的路。只有一条路,那就是正法(Dharma)之路。
Purushotama: Will you be living in this country for permanently or can you (?).
Purushotama:你会永久住在这个国家,还是你能(?)。
YB: I am, I am a resident of this country, because I don't want to do my number and runaway. I want to do my number here and face the, face the gallows, if I have to face it here. Because once you eat from the soil, you have to serve the soil. I don't want a hit and run business is not my business.
YB:我是,我是这个国家的居民,因为我不想做完我的功课就逃跑。我要在这里做完我的功课,面对,面对绞刑架,如果我必须在这里面对的话。因为你一旦吃了这片土地的粮食,你就必须服务这片土地。我不想要那种打了就跑的生意,那不是我的生意。
Purushotama: So, so, you are a, you are a permanent part of the American scene?
Purushotama:所以,所以你是,你是美国图景中永久的一部分?
YB: Ah yeah, that is why I, I call myself, 'we the Americans,' that is the privilege you know, to say that way. Because this is how it is, it is going to be. If you understand the science of the stars even, the Uranus is one star, which runs but projects a light from the west to the east. So, east has done its role, west shall become east, in spiritual knowledge, in philosophy, in living, in the art of reaching the realms of the consciousness, technically, mentally and spiritually. And you know, if I am here, I am here for that purpose, I am not here for just becoming a rich American, I don't care. I am rich anyway, because I have home in all the ninety-six cities, because I have no home of mine, so.
YB:啊,是的,这就是为什么我,我称自己为「我们美国人」,你知道,这是一种特权,能那样说。因为事情就是这样,它将会是这样。如果你哪怕懂得星辰的科学,天王星就是一颗星,它运行着,却把光从西投射到东。所以,东方已经扮演了它的角色,西方将在灵性知识、哲学、生活、抵达意识诸领域的艺术上,在技术、心智和灵性上,成为东方。你知道,如果我在这里,我就是为这个目的在这里,我在这里不是为了仅仅成为一个富有的美国人,我不在乎。反正我很富有,因为我在所有九十六座城市里都有家,因为我自己没有家,所以。
Purushotama: So, you are, you are an American and this is, this Americans have, have, have never, the only native Americans are, are, are the...
Purushotama:所以,你是,你是美国人,而这,这些美国人从来,从来,唯一的原住民是,是,是……
YB: Are the real; everybody is a melting American.
YB:是真正的;每个人都是熔化的美国人。
Purushotama: Yes.
Purushotama:是的。
YB: I always call it as a melting pot where all come and melt in. And actually when I came in here, they asked me, "What you have for us?"
YB:我总是把它叫作熔炉,所有人都进来熔化其中。其实我来到这里时,他们问我:「你给我们带来了什么?」
I said, "Well, I'll give you a life, which will be healthy, happy and holy."
我说:「好吧,我会给你们一种生活,它会健康、快乐、神圣。」
That's why we call it 3HO mantra. It is also self-healing mantra, 'healthy am I, happy am I, holy am I,' if you meditate on this mantra, your all diseases get cured by the will of God. It's the highest mantra. So, we chant that.
这就是为什么我们把它叫作 3HO 曼陀罗。它也是自我疗愈的曼陀罗,「我健康,我快乐,我神圣」,如果你冥想这个曼陀罗,你所有的疾病都会因神的意志而痊愈。它是最高的曼陀罗。所以,我们唱诵它。
And then I said, "I'll give such teachers to America that those American yogis will teach the American yogis how to do yoga and I'll live by my words, because I worship the word."
然后我说:「我会给美国这样的老师,那些美国瑜伽士将教美国瑜伽士怎么做瑜伽,我会按我的话生活,因为我崇拜话语。」
Purushotama: Do, do any, any new styles and techniques come to life in a better, specifically American or (?) all the things that you teach, things that you that you learned originally in India? In other words (?) is, is the America having some influence on the yoga, on the...
Purushotama:有没有,有没有任何新的风格和技巧以更好的方式活起来,特别是美国的,还是(?)你教的所有东西,你最初在印度学到的东西?换句话说(?)美国是不是对瑜伽有些影响,对……
YB: Ah, yeah. America is attracting lot of people in the field of yoga. And we are also getting faster to let the American yogis become the yogis. And that's why, what we are doing is, we are Americanizing the yoga. Yoga is the knowledge, it's not India, America or Japan or Tibet; it can be America. And one day I think, the main tourist traffic to America will be to come and learn yoga.
YB:啊,是的。美国在瑜伽领域吸引着很多人。我们也在更快地让美国瑜伽士成为瑜伽士。这就是为什么,我们在做的是,我们正在把瑜伽美国化。瑜伽是知识,它不是印度、美国、日本或西藏;它可以是美国。我想有一天,来美国的主要游客流量,将是来学瑜伽的。
Because one thing is, in this country, people are very powerful and they are very honest seekers. But you can't sell them for a long time something, which is not real. They have that power of discrimination and that is, that is most valuable. You can promise them, you can just, you know, give them a little situation where that you can blind them for a while, I call it. They are very, very, very wise people. They know where the real thing is and who is the real.
因为有一点是,在这个国家,人们非常强大,他们是非常诚实的求道者。但你没法长久地卖给他们不真实的东西。他们拥有那种辨别力,那是,那是最宝贵的。你可以向他们许诺,你可以,你知道,给他们制造一点情境,让你暂时蒙蔽他们,我这么称呼它。他们是非常、非常、非常有智慧的人。他们知道真实的东西在哪里,谁是真正的。
So, this power of discrimination, this urge to seek, is the basis, on which one day you will find American will triumph over all the difficulties, in the sense, northern American I am saying.
所以,这种辨别力,这种求道的渴望,就是基础,有一天你会看到美国人会战胜所有困难,在这个意义上,我说的是北美人。
Purushotama: Do you, do you think there's any chance in, in bringing together the, the various people who are interested in this, in the spiritual practice in United States?
Purushotama:你,你觉得有没有可能把美国对灵性修习感兴趣的各种人聚到一起?
YB: Yeah, I am trying to do it all the four years. I am always saying that, you know, health and, Yoga and Health, London magazine has printed a very powerful article, which they interviewed me. 'Who are the dangerous yogi,' that is the heading they gave.
YB:是的,这四年我一直都在努力做这件事。我总是说,你知道,《健康与瑜伽》,伦敦杂志登了一篇非常有力量的文章,他们采访了我。「谁是危险的瑜伽士」,这是他们给的标题。
And I said, "Dangerous is that, who does not know how to unite. What kind of yogi he is, who do not know how to unite and if he cannot unite with other yogis, other brothers, other system, other (?), he's going to divide, separate, what kind of yogi he is, even it is a shame to call him a yogi."
我说:「危险的是那种不知道如何联合的人。他算什么瑜伽士,不知道如何联合,如果他不能和其他瑜伽士、其他兄弟、其他体系、其他(?)联合,他就要分裂、分离,他算什么瑜伽士,甚至称他为瑜伽士都是耻辱。」
So, I think, we are putting the word out and we are going to bluntly and openly and strongly going to do it. And the words are out, the kids are going to learn it and they are going to question all these people, who are teaching, that, 'you can't learn from somebody, you can't do the thing, my thing is the best thing, other things are wrong.' This, these are, these are very, very old hypocrisies, which we all know about it. I don't think it is going to work for a long time.
所以,我想,我们正在把这个话传出去,我们要直截了当、公开而有力地去做。话已经放出去了,孩子们会学到它,他们会去质问所有这些人,那些在教「你不能跟别人学,你不能做那件事,我的东西是最好的,别的东西都是错的」的人。这些,这些是非常、非常古老的虚伪,我们大家都知道。我不认为它能长久行得通。
And finally, either they have to take the towline and come all the way to be real yogi and be united and unite all the people and come together and do it or they will lose the market, they'll be unwanted, they have to quit. And that's mainly downfall of all these people will come ultimately, there's no problem, because nature is working faster than their own little egos. So, I am a hopeful man, I mean to say I feel nature will do what is right. But our little job is to spread this word all over.
到最后,要么他们得接过拖绳,一路走过来,成为真正的瑜伽士,联合起来,把所有人团结起来,走到一起去做,要么他们就会失去市场,他们会变得不受欢迎,他们就得退出。而这主要就是所有这些人最终会迎来的垮台,没问题,因为大自然运转得比他们那点小我快得多。所以,我是个充满希望的人,我的意思是说,我觉得大自然会做正确的事。但我们的小任务就是把这个话传遍各处。
Purushotama: Do you, do you feel yourself deepening in the Nam or do you, do you, have you, have you, have you reached a plateau?
Purushotama:你,你觉得自己在 Nam 里越来越深入,还是你,你,你已经,你已经,你已经到了一个平台期?
YB: Well, as far as my personal level is concerned, let me word it this way, 'it is thy will O Lord, as you keep me into the dense of the mud or on the top of the lotus, all is thy pleasure, what this little creature even can realize.'
YB:嗯,就我个人的层面来说,让我这么说吧,「这是你的意志,哦主啊,无论你把我放进泥沼深处,还是放在莲花顶上,一切都是你的喜悦,这个小生命又能领悟什么呢。」
I know the language of words, so, in words I don't get caught normally.
我懂言语的语言,所以,通常我不会被言语困住。
(Yogi Bhajan laughs)
(Yogi Bhajan 笑了)
You know, once I met a very great man and he said, "To what depth of the depth, you have found the depth?"
你知道,有一次我遇到一位非常伟大的人,他说:「深到多深,你才找到了那个深度?」
That was his question.
那是他的问题。
And I looked at him and I smiled, I said, "To what humility the humble can realize his own humbleness."
我看着他,我笑了,我说:「谦卑到多谦卑,谦卑者才能领悟自己的谦卑。」
So, we both smiled and that smile was more divine than Divinity in word means, that way.
于是我们两个都笑了,那个微笑比言语所说的神性还要神圣,就是那样。
Purushotama: You said that being a spiritual master particularly in the United States is a kind of a crucifying consciousness, that's how you put it.
Purushotama:你说过,做一位灵性老师,尤其是在美国,是一种被钉上十字架的意识,你是这么说的。
YB: Yeah.
YB:是的。
Purushotama: And when the people, the people suspect you being on, on a power trip or (?).
Purushotama:而当人们,人们怀疑你在,在追求权力或者(?)。
YB: No, no, no, people don't suspect me, but they have got very, very sad experiences with many stuff, you know. And you know, when, when they have got already a hard experience, they put you on hot plate too. I mean to say, it's not easy, you know, it's not easy to get around well, because, they say, 'well, he may be a phony because so and so was.'
YB:不,不,不,人们不是怀疑我,但他们跟很多东西有过非常、非常惨痛的经历,你知道。而且你知道,当他们已经有过惨痛的经历,他们也会把你放到热锅上。我的意思是说,这不容易,你知道,要好好相处不容易,因为他们会说,「嗯,他可能是个骗子,因为某某人就是。」
So, you hear it, right on your very face. I mean to say they put the mud right on your face, what you can do. So you, you clean the Karma of others, that's why sometime I am called a garbage cleaner. You know, you got to stick around and you got to be honest and you got to continue and you got to also know that their feelings might be right. Why, why, what right I have got to question anybody? If somebody got burned he got burnt. Then he has, even he's not burned, he's doubtful, he's practical, he just doesn't want to relate to those situation, he want to say, 'well, you are not right.'
所以,你听到它,就当着你的面。我的意思是说,他们把泥直接抹到你脸上,你能怎么办。所以你,你在清理别人的业力,这就是为什么有时候我被称为垃圾清理工。你知道,你得待在那儿,你得诚实,你得继续下去,你也得知道,他们的感受可能是对的。为什么,我凭什么有权去质疑任何人?如果有人被烧过,他就是被烧过。然后他,即使他没被烧过,他也怀疑,他很实际,他就是不想跟那种情况扯上关系,他想说,「嗯,你不对。」
Purushotama: They call you a garbage cleaner, one of the garbage, some of the garbage that's in the society is, in the form of chemicals, that, that people (?) to get higher (?).
Purushotama:他们叫你垃圾清理工,其中一种垃圾,社会里的一些垃圾,是以化学品的形态出现的,那,那人们(?)去获得更高的(?)。
YB: Yeah, human ecology, human ecology.
YB:是的,人类生态,人类生态。
Purushotama: You know, what, what, what about the kind of chemical garbage?
Purushotama:你知道,那,那,那这种化学垃圾是怎么回事?
YB: Just putting a chemicals in your system and I always know, those who wants to stimulate themself from outside, will never know what is inside stimulation. Because they don't, don't do, don't go together. So, if you want to reach the consciousness of higher stimulation, then you got to stimulate it from with inside and then you don't require all these drugs. That's why we have a very powerful system, through which even anybody who's hooked on heroin and all those kind of situations, will not suffer the return back or what they call it, cold turkey or (?).
YB:只是往你的身体系统里塞化学药品,而我始终知道,那些想从外面刺激自己的人,永远不会知道什么是内在的刺激。因为他们不,不去做,不往内走。所以,如果你想达到更高刺激的意识,你就得从内在去刺激它,那样你就不需要这些毒品了。这就是为什么我们有一套非常强大的系统,通过它,即便是任何染上海洛因之类的人,也不会在回头时受苦,或者他们所谓的,冷火鸡戒断,或者(?)。
Purushotama: Yeah, my, my, my friends, who, who are your, who are your friends or your, your followers, they have lived with ex-heroin addicts in their, in their own house and, and worked with them and, and it's a, it's a one of the powerful things that your people are doing. (?).
Purushotama:是啊,我,我,我的朋友们,他们,他们是你的人,是你的朋友还是你的,你的追随者,他们和曾经的海洛因成瘾者一起住在他们,他们自己的家里,和,和他们一起工作,这是,这是你的人们在做的一件很有力量的事。(?)。
YB: Well, our, our motto is, 'let us build a drug free nation,' help the, help the 3HO foundation, that's what we call it. I mean to say, that is what the slogan we give out, 'let us build a drug free nation.' Because we don't believe that drugs are in anyway will be helpful (?).
YB:嗯,我们的,我们的口号是,「让我们建立一个无毒品的国家」,帮助,帮助 3HO 基金会,我们就是这么叫它的。我的意思是说,这就是我们给出的口号,「让我们建立一个无毒品的国家」。因为我们不相信毒品在任何方面会有帮助(?)。
Purushotama: Don't, don't you think that people, young people who have a longing for yoga, have, have taken, have drugs in all sincerity?
Purushotama:你,你不觉得那些渴望瑜伽的年轻人,是,是怀着全部的真诚去吸毒的吗?
YB: Yeah, they, they were misguided by certain people and they thought this is the way and also they were not misguided to that extent. What I feel is, that at that time there was a lack of communication between the parents and the kids. And the social structure of the home, the coziness of the home and the warmth of the home was totally cold and dead. So, it is very difficult psychologically and for social reason to break the ties with parents and the house you live in and the streets you have raised up and the city you are in. And they wanted something powerful to disconnect this, so they stoned their brains, stoned their brains and they became junkies, not to give any attachment to values of that established pattern of things. So, they took help of those drugs, otherwise not.
YB:是的,他们,他们被某些人误导了,他们以为这就是路,而且他们也没有被误导到那种程度。我的感觉是,那个时候父母和孩子之间缺乏沟通。而家庭的社会结构、家庭的舒适、家庭的温暖,完全冰冷、死寂。所以,从心理上和社会原因上,要切断与父母、与你住的房子、与你长大的街道、与你所在城市的联系,是非常困难的。他们想要某种强大的东西来断开这一切,于是他们把自己的脑子搞晕,把自己的脑子搞晕,成了瘾君子,好对那套既定模式的价值不再有任何执着。所以他们借助了那些毒品,否则不会。
Purushotama: But, is it, is it possible that some, some people are taking Kundalini Yoga as a, as a, as a method for breaking the ties with the, with the culture they no longer believe in?
Purushotama:但是,有,有没有可能,有些,有些人把昆达里尼瑜伽当作一种,一种,一种方法,用来切断与那个他们不再相信的文化的联系?
YB: No, no, no, no, well rather we are responsible for bringing them into the right righteous living. I mean to say, it is not culture belief, it's a question of you believe in the society or not, then you have to become a part of the society and play your honest role. And this is one of the requirements, people who practice this Kundalini Yoga they have to earn their own money, in the right consciousness. When you earn something in right consciousness, you got to go out in the market and do the job. And when you do the job, you got to relate to the society around you. So, you have to be extra beautiful, extra polite, extra attractive, extra communicative, extra smiling, all those extras, x plus has to be added to you. And when you are willing to do that, naturally you become a very important part of the society.
YB:不,不,不,不,我们其实有责任把他们带进正确、正直的生活。我的意思是,这不是文化信仰的问题,而是你信不信这个社会的问题,那么你就得成为这个社会的一部分,扮演你诚实的角色。这是要求之一,练昆达里尼瑜伽的人必须凭正确的意识去挣自己的钱。当你凭正确的意识挣到东西,你就得走进市场去做事。当你做事的时候,你就得和周围的社会打交道。所以,你必须格外美好、格外有礼、格外有吸引力、格外善于沟通、格外爱笑,所有那些格外的,x 加,都得加到你身上。当你愿意这么做的时候,你自然就成了社会里非常重要的一部分。
Purushotama: So, so, you are an American who's trying to reclaim other Americans for America?
Purushotama:那么,那么,你是一个美国人,正试图为美国把其他美国人召回来?
YB: Well, that's what we don't say, let us build a beautiful America and built it in the beautiful way, don't play underhand means, just go straight and do it in the honest, honest, truthful way. Because when you are living on a soil, serve the soil. The basic principle of service cannot be ignored. And that is what we are in our depth we want to be. I mean to say why not we should claim as good, honest Americans, why not we should be just, why should we be funky Americans, what is the big deal about that? And then if we are good Americans, then we can serve our all brothers in the whole world.
YB:这个我们不说,让我们建设一个美丽的美国,用美丽的方式去建设它,不要耍阴招,就直着走,用诚实、诚实、真实的方式去做。因为你活在一片土地上,就服务这片土地。服务这条根本原则不能被忽略。这就是我们在深处想要成为的样子。我的意思是,为什么我们不该自称是好样的、诚实的美国人,为什么我们不该正直,为什么我们该是怪里怪气的美国人,那有什么了不起的?而且如果我们是好美国人,那我们就能服务全世界所有的兄弟。
Purushotama: What about good Americans who, who don't practice yoga and the Nam? Well, are they sleeping or what, well, how would you characterize?
Purushotama:那些不练瑜伽、不念 Nam 的好美国人呢?他们是在睡觉还是怎么着,你会怎么形容?
YB: They, they, well, they also have intoxication, you know, cutty, shark, six dollar ninety-five cent. They have to spend some money to do that jazz. I mean, nobody is free from Nam. Intoxication of life is the principle.
YB:他们,他们,他们也有醉人的东西,你知道,土酒、鲨鱼牌、六块九毛五。他们得花点钱去搞那套玩意儿。我的意思是,没有人能免于 Nam。生命的沉醉才是根本。
Guru Nanak said one beautiful verse.
Guru Nanak 说过一句很美的话。
'Posath, bhang, apheem, madh utar jaye prabhat, Nam khumari Nanaka chadi rahe dinn raat.'
「Posath、bhang、apheem、madh utar jaye prabhat,Nam khumari Nanaka chadi rahe dinn raat。」
Posat-poppy; bhang-marijuana; apheem-opium; madh-wine or whisky whatever you want to call it.
Posat——罂粟;bhang——大麻;apheem——鸦片;madh——酒或威士忌,随你怎么叫。
'Utar jaye prabhat.'
「Utar jaye prabhat。」
If you have a night a party, in the morning you will hang up or hangover and whatever you call it and it will go away and it will make you miserable.
如果你夜里开派对,早上你就会难受,或者宿醉,随你怎么叫,它会过去,它会让你痛苦不堪。
'Nam khumari Nanaka chadi rahe dinn raat.'
「Nam khumari Nanaka chadi rahe dinn raat。」
The power of the Nam shall continue to intoxicate you day and night. I mean to say, in other words you can live in the realms of the highest consciousness, consciously relating to the conscious world.
圣名的力量会日夜不断地让你沉醉。我的意思是,换句话说,你可以活在最高意识的境界里,有意识地与这个有意识的世界相连。
Purushotama: Is the Nam going on all the time, in, in, in the hearts of people?
Purushotama:圣名是一直都在进行的吗,在,在,在人们心里?
YB: Yeah, yeah, this practice, this practice (?) and the whole nature sends you the sound. I mean to say, you, it is not that your consciousness can get off it at anytime. (?).
YB:是的,是的,这个练习,这个练习(?),整个大自然都会把那个声音送给你。我的意思是,你,并不是说你的意识随时都能脱离它。(?)。
Purushotama: If, if, if, if anyone were only able to...
Purushotama:如果,如果,如果,如果有人只要能够……
YB: Anyone.
YB:任何人都可以。
Purushotama: Tuned in, they would find it already going on.
Purushotama:调频进去,就会发现它早就在进行了。
YB: (?), anyone, including my white cat, when I sing in the morning, at that hour, continuously that white cat comes, sit outside and listen to that sound. And that cat is so tuned on that sound, I can't believe it. I think, it is not dishonest it's a very honest way a man can reach within himself and can, can find those realms, which are his higher consciousness.
YB:(?),任何人,包括我那只白猫,早上我唱诵的时候,就在那个时辰,那只白猫会不停地过来,坐在外面听那个声音。那只猫对那个声音调频得那么深,我简直不敢相信。我想,这并不虚假,这是一个人能抵达自己内在、能找到那些境界的非常诚实的方式,那些境界就是他的更高意识。
(Yogi Bhajan laughs)
(Yogi Bhajan 笑了)
Purushotama: Very good.
Purushotama:非常好。
Side B
B 面
Purushotama: You laugh a lot, I mean do you, do you, do you think, humor is part of the yoga?
Purushotama:你笑得很多,我是说,你,你,你觉得幽默是瑜伽的一部分吗?
YB: Smile, smile, only those can smile on whom God smiles. And those who smile, they smile because God smiles. Don't frown, that's no good.
YB:微笑,微笑,只有神对他微笑的人才能微笑。而那些微笑的人,他们微笑是因为神在微笑。别皱眉,那没好处。
Purushotama: I remember (?) Guru Nam Singh, before this Guru Nam Singh was telling me that, he used to come and practice the yoga and everything and, and he didn't use to wear a turban, or now and then (?) because he was working in IBM, I think.
Purushotama:我记得(?)Guru Nam Singh,在这之前 Guru Nam Singh 告诉我,他过去常来练习瑜伽什么的,而且,而且他过去不戴头巾,只是偶尔戴(?),因为我想他是在 IBM 工作。
YB (laughs): Yeah.
YB(笑):是的。
Purushotama: He was a little, he was a little hesitant. And he said that you never, you never forced the issue with him. But he said, somehow just being with you he felt you know, that, that, that he should have (?).
Purushotama:他有点,他有点犹豫。他说你从来,你从来没有在这件事上逼过他。但他说,不知怎么,只是和你在一起,他就感觉到,你知道,他,他,他应该(?)。
YB: No, I, I, I, I don't tell anybody to do anything, that's one part of me, I will never, everybody has to do it on their own. Because when you tell somebody to do it, then you enslave him. No, that's not honest, that's not honest. Why should, why should I tell anybody I know it, they will do it, whosoever to follow, even you follow it one day, I may come in here, you'll have turban on your head. It's not; you know, when you know, experience the realities of something, then you have to have those tools. These are tools, they are not the end in themself they are the tools.
YB:不,我,我,我,我不叫任何人做任何事,那是我的一部分,我永远不会,每个人都得自己去做。因为当你叫某人去做的时候,你就把他变成了奴隶。不,那不诚实,那不诚实。为什么,为什么我要告诉任何人我知道它,他们会去做的,无论是谁去跟随,甚至你有一天也会跟随,我可能走进这里,你头上就会戴着头巾。并不是;你知道,当你知道了、体验了某件事的真相,那你就必须拥有那些工具。这些是工具,它们不是终点本身,它们是工具。
Purushotama: Yogi Ji, you are, you are a married man who has children and grandchildren and, and you don't come from an ascetic type of Indian tradition, I mean you don't look like Mahatma Gandhi, you are, you are (?).
Purushotama:Yogi Ji,你是,你是一个结了婚的人,有孩子,有孙辈,而且,而且你并不是出自那种苦行僧式的印度传统,我是说,你看起来不像圣雄甘地,你是,你是(?)。
YB: No, Mahatma Gandhi has three children.
YB:不,圣雄甘地有三个孩子。
Purushotama: But on the other hand, just, just physically, I mean you don't look like (?).
Purushotama:但另一方面,只是,只是从外表看,我是说,你看起来不像(?)。
YB: You mean.
YB:你的意思是。
Purushotama: (?) little ascetic, you look very powerful, you look like a, from a warrior race in a certain way.
Purushotama:(?)有点苦行僧的样子,你看起来非常强大,从某种角度看,你像是出自一个武士种姓。
YB: Well, basically.
YB:嗯,基本上。
Purushotama: (?) people, but people will have a stereotype of India. When (?) say, they think that, that monasticism says this, that this is the basic spiritual...
Purushotama:(?)人们,但人们对印度会有一种刻板印象。当(?)说的时候,他们会以为,那种修道主义说这个,说这才是根本的灵性……
YB: No, no, nothing doing.
YB:不,不,不是那么回事。
Purushotama: Teaching of India.
Purushotama:印度的教导。
YB: One who cannot relate to this world and cannot experience this world and cannot live in this world, how can he rise above the world. I mean, you mean, think I should be skinny, with a staff in my hand, with a begging bowl in the other and have a couple, couple spoons of rice in it and should live on it. Those kind of myths and imaginations are not right.
YB:一个人如果无法与这个世界建立关系,无法体验这个世界,无法活在这个世界里,他又怎么能超越这个世界。我是说,你的意思是,觉得我应该瘦骨嶙峋,一手拿杖,另一手拿个乞讨碗,里面装几勺,几勺米饭,就靠它活着。那种神话和想象是不对的。
Purushotama: But your, your people marry and have children?
Purushotama:但你,你的人结婚,还生孩子?
YB: Yeah, we, we are householders and our first, actually Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of householders. It is not, those Hatha and those kind of stuff is for other kind of stuff. This was practically a yoga designed and experienced by people who live in as a householder. Because on householder lives the God, on householder live these people, who call themself, whatever you want to call them, because on whose money they live? These holy men live on the money of the sinners and it's the sinner who redeems them, so that they can eat and then still they said they are the redemption centers.
YB:对,我们,我们是居家者,而且我们的第一,其实昆达里尼瑜伽(Kundalini Yoga)就是居家者的瑜伽。它不是,那些哈他(Hatha)和那类东西是给别的用的。这实际上是一门由居家生活的人设计并体验出来的瑜伽。因为神就住在居家者身上,这些人就住在居家者身上,他们自称什么,你想叫他们什么都行,因为他们靠谁的钱活着?这些圣人靠罪人的钱活着,是罪人在救赎他们,好让他们有饭吃,然后他们还说自己是救赎中心。
(Yogi Bhajan laughs)
(Yogi Bhajan 笑了)
No, no, no, it is the householder, which sustain the world.
不,不,不,是居家者在支撑这个世界。
Purushotama: The Kundalini is a, is a, is a, is a feminine force, the, the Adi Shakti.
Purushotama:昆达里尼(Kundalini)是一种,是一种,是一种,是一种女性能量,是,是Aad Shakti。
YB: Yeah.
YB:对。
Purushotama: But what is, what (?)?
Purushotama:但那是什么,什么(?)?
YB: It is a, it is a creative force of the universe, without God. Shiva-Shakti principle is the grace of God, is the woman, is the creative principle.
YB:它是一种,它是宇宙的创造性能量,没有神。湿婆-夏克提(Shiva-Shakti)原则就是神的优雅,就是女人,就是创造的原则。
Purushotama: So, the woman for, for, for you the woman represents something very fundamental.
Purushotama:所以,女人对,对,对你来说,女人代表着某种非常根本的东西。
YB: It represent to me my altar, it represents to me my place of respect, it represent to me my personality, it represents to me my existence, it represents to me through which God shall love me, I have not to love God; it represents to me the totality, the first symbol of universe.
YB:她对我来说代表着我的圣坛,她对我来说代表着我尊敬的位置,她对我来说代表着我的人格,她对我来说代表着我的存在,她对我来说代表着神借由她来爱我,我不必去爱神;她对我来说代表着整体,代表着宇宙的第一个象征。
Purushotama: So, (?) there's, there's a kind of, sense of fatherhood of God, there's a, there's the motherhood of the Kundalini.
Purushotama:所以,(?)有一种,有一种父性的神,也有一种,昆达里尼的母性。
YB: Yeah, fatherhood of the God is slave to the motherhood, otherwise he lives a divorced life and he loves in, he, he cooks his own meals and burn his own fingers and get busted all the time.
YB:是啊,神的父性是母性的奴隶,否则他就过着离婚的生活,他爱在,他,他自己做饭,烧到自己的手指,还总是被揍。
Purushotama: So the mother is what's, what's taking care of the universe, the mother.
Purushotama:所以母亲才是那个,那个在照顾宇宙的,母亲。
YB: The mother is universe, universe is mother. Poor father sits like a Shiva in the snow, top of the Himalayas, does nothing. That's why they call him, 'Bum, Bum, Bolenath.' You know these bums.
YB:母亲就是宇宙,宇宙就是母亲。可怜的父亲像湿婆一样坐在雪里,坐在喜马拉雅山顶,什么也不做。所以他们才叫他「Bum,Bum,Bolenath」。你知道这些流浪汉。
(Yogi Bhajan laughs)
(Yogi Bhajan 笑)
That's the name of Lord Shiva, the Creator of the Universe, 'Bum, Bum, Bolenath.' Bola mean innocent. He's such an innocent one, he's bum.
那就是湿婆神的名字,宇宙的创造者,「Bum,Bum,Bolenath」。Bola 的意思是天真。他就是这么天真的一个人,他是个流浪汉。
(Yogi Bhajan laughs)
(Yogi Bhajan 笑)
Things are not different in the west and east, you know.
东西方的事情没什么不同,你知道。
Purushotama: So, so, do women among, among the Kundalini yoginis, are, are, highly respected members of the family, when they started.
Purushotama:那么,那么,在昆达里尼瑜伽女修行者当中,她们,她们,从一开始就是家庭里备受尊重的成员吗?
YB: Yeah, they are, they are the pioneers of the family. Because they will give the family of tomorrow, they are the creative principle of God consciousness. That's why we call them they are the grace of God. Man can only have a salvation by relating to the creative principle and that's the woman. I mean to say logically, reasonably and practically we are very true.
YB:是的,她们是,她们是家庭的先驱。因为她们会给出明天的家庭,她们是神意识的创造原则。所以我们才说她们是神的优雅。男人只有与创造原则相连才能获得救赎,而那就是女人。我是说,从逻辑上、理性上、实际上,我们都非常真实。
Purushotama: Do you, do you see the divine in, in women, as you, as you, as you (?)?
Purushotama:你,你在女人身上看到神性吗,就像你,就像你,就像你(?)?
YB: Minus divine there is no woman, she's a challenge to man ego, all the time. When the lustful man drops down from the realm of consciousness of a higher self, then he goes into a, what you call is, animal consciousness and then he destroys woman and thus he destroys his own future, his own dignity, his own destiny.
YB:除去神性就没有女人,她时时刻刻都是对男人小我的挑战。当充满色欲的男人从更高自我的意识领域掉下来,他就进入一种,你们所说的,动物意识,然后他摧毁女人,于是他也摧毁了自己的未来、自己的尊严、自己的命运。
Purushotama: Do you think the women's liberation movement is a manifestation of the Adi Shakti or do you think that's a (?).
Purushotama:你认为妇女解放运动是 Aad Shakti 的显现,还是你认为那是一种(?)。
YB: No, it is a, it is a, it is a conspiracy of the man. It's a very deep-rooted conspiracy of the man. Men wanted them to be just the, you must understand what is the main features of the women. Woman can give a new man a new life, a new inspiration, which is the greatest, powerful, beautiful role of a woman. And what they are telling the woman is, 'you are low, you have to come all the way equal to us.' Whereas she is always high, she is never low, she can never be low.
YB:不,它是,它是,它是男人的阴谋。它是男人一个根深蒂固的阴谋。男人想让她们只是那个,你必须明白女人的主要特征是什么。女人能给出一个新的男人、新的生命、新的灵感,这是女人最伟大、最强大、最美丽的角色。而他们告诉女人的是,「你很低,你得一路爬上来跟我们平等。」可她永远是高的,她从不低,她永远不可能低。
You might be remembering that story, that out of the rib of the man, the woman was created by God and she created sin. But all these men today are created out of the womb of the woman. So, how can, how can, when you are born out of something, how an apple can talk about the tree on which it is hanging? Woman can understand, make everybody to realize her grace and grace of God and how powerful she is and how divine she is and then everything in this world will run around the woman. She is not a slave to anything.
你可能还记得那个故事,说神用男人的肋骨造出了女人,而女人造出了罪。可今天所有的男人都是从女人的子宫里生出来的。那么,怎么可能,怎么可能,当你从某样东西里生出来,一个苹果怎么能谈论那棵挂着它的树?女人能够理解,能够让每个人都认识到她的优雅和神的优雅,认识到她多么有力量、多么神圣,然后这世上的一切都会围着女人转。她不是任何东西的奴隶。
Purushotama: So, the, the Kundalini Yoga is really making a call to American women to, to...
Purushotama:所以,这个,这个昆达里尼瑜伽真的是在向美国女性发出召唤,让她们,让她们……
YB: Rise, rise, time is now and create the future now, so that you can rise above the time. Well, you know, through the time she was very kind and very giving and she didn't care and the man took advantage of it. And now, now what? In other five-six years they will be all right.
YB:崛起,崛起,时候就是现在,现在就去创造未来,这样你才能超越时间。你知道,一直以来她非常仁慈、非常慷慨,她不在乎,而男人就占了便宜。而现在,现在呢?再过五六年他们就会好起来。
Purushotama: I hear sometimes that you, that you sing and, and the songs sort of come down through you. Do you, do you feel like singing?
Purushotama:我有时听说你,你会唱歌,那些歌好像是通过你流淌下来的。你,你想唱一首吗?
(Yogi Bhajan laughs)
(Yogi Bhajan 大笑)
YB: Yeah, sometime I do sing.
YB:是啊,有时候我会唱。
Purushotama: Sing, sing, sing, sing one of, sing one of your, sing one of your songs. Sing one of the songs that's come down through you.
Purushotama:唱吧,唱吧,唱吧,唱一首,唱一首你的,唱一首你的歌。唱一首通过你流淌下来的歌。
YB: I mean to say you are, you are, you are trying to get into the very depth of me. Yes, this birthday I sang to all the people. Let us all sing, can we?
YB:我是说,你,你,你是想钻进我最深的地方。是的,这个生日我唱给所有人听。我们一起唱,好吗?
(Yogi Bhajan sings, 'We are the people...')
(Yogi Bhajan 唱起「We are the people...」)
(Students sing along)
(学生们跟着唱)
(Yogi Bhajan and students stop singing)
(Yogi Bhajan 和学生们停下歌唱)
YB: And we were all dancing and singing it for a long time, it was beautiful. But it just came in, I mean to say, I (?). Those are certain realms, which, which are beyond me too.
YB:我们大家又跳又唱了很久,很美。可它就是自己进来的,我是说,我(?)。那些是某些境界,连我也超越不了的境界。
Purushotama: So, love, you think is a, is a, is a (?).
Purushotama:所以,爱,你觉得是一种,是一种,是一种(?)。
YB: Love is God, love is sacrifice, when you are in love, you can only sacrifice. Love is a experience of selflessness within oneself. It is experience, it, it can't be talked out. When you can't sacrifice, you are not in love. Because giving is the law of life and sacrifice is the power behind giving and sacrifice is love, God is love, love is God.
YB:爱就是神,爱就是牺牲,当你处在爱里,你只能牺牲。爱是在自己之内体验无我。它是体验,它,它没法说出来。当你不能牺牲,你就不在爱里。因为给予是生命的法则,而牺牲是给予背后的力量,牺牲就是爱,神就是爱,爱就是神。
(Yogi Bhajan sings, 'We are the people...')
(Yogi Bhajan 唱起「We are the people...」)
(Yogi Bhajan stops singing)
(Yogi Bhajan 停下歌唱)
(Student plays guitar and students sing, 'We are the people...')
(学生弹吉他,学生们唱起「We are the people...」)
(Students stop singing)
(学生们停下歌唱)
Purushotama: (?) took on you know, (?) how did you enter this family? Well, I was (?) on a drug, hey, Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam.
Purushotama:(?)落在你身上,你知道,(?)你是怎么进入这个家庭的?嗯,我当时(?)在一种药物上,嘿,Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam。
(Yogi Bhajan and students laugh)
(Yogi Bhajan 和学生们大笑)
So, how did you get into this family?
那么,你是怎么进入这个家庭的?
Student: Well, I was interested in yoga before I came into this family and well I was doing the yoga, while I was taking drugs as well. And then when I started doing this Kundalini Yoga, I found they supplied a lot of the answers that I was looking for. And it just gave me a substitute, something that I could really get involved with. That was in England about two years ago with Vikram Singh. And basically I stayed with the ashram, living outside the ashram for about eight months or so and then moved into the ashram and we changed ashrams, I just stayed with family and then came to the USA, came to New York and I have been living in Brooklyn ashram, about a month.
学生:嗯,我进入这个大家庭之前就对瑜伽感兴趣,嗯,我一边练瑜伽,一边还在吸毒。后来我开始练昆达里尼瑜伽(Kundalini Yoga),我发现它给了我一直在寻找的很多答案。它给了我一个替代品,一个我能真正投入进去的东西。那是大约两年前在英格兰,跟着 Vikram Singh。基本上我先是住在灵修社区(ashram)外面,跟社区保持联系,大概八个月左右,然后搬进了社区,后来我们又换了社区,我就一直跟着这个大家庭,然后来到美国,来到纽约,我住在布鲁克林的灵修社区,大概一个月了。
Purushotama: What do you, what do you think of Yogi Ji?
Purushotama:你觉得,你觉得 Yogi Ji 怎么样?
Student: Yogi Ji is very powerful yogi, he has got very many techniques, he can answer a lot of questions about anything to do with body or anything that you can I mean to say, find out about, he can supply you with an answer to that question.
学生:Yogi Ji 是非常强大的瑜伽士(Yogi),他掌握非常多的技法,任何跟身体有关的问题,或者任何你能想到、能去了解的问题,他都能回答,他能给你那个问题的答案。
Purushotama: Do you think you'll spend the rest of your life in this practice?
Purushotama:你觉得你会用余生来修这个法门吗?
Student: Well, (?) I feel like I am a sort of stick in a river which has been flowing along with the current and I think that even if I wanted to leave right now, (?) much choice in it. You know, I am just been taken along with the current and that's the way things are flowing, you know. So, as I say now, I think, even if I say no, I think (?) probably happen that it will happen that I will stay with it. You know.
学生:嗯,(?)我感觉自己就像河里的一根树枝,一直随着水流漂。我想,就算我现在想离开,(?)也没什么选择余地。你知道,我就这样被水流带着走,事情就是这样流动的,你知道。所以,就像我现在说的,我想,就算我说不,我想(?)大概也会发生,我会继续走下去。你知道。
Purushotama: Does, does it feel good to be in the flow?
Purushotama:处在流动里,感觉好吗?
Student: Sure, very good. Sometimes it's just my ego sort of says that, you know, what's going on, but then I can realize (?) is just a ego. You know, when I think you are related to selflessness, and I can see the reason far better to be on sort of direction towards God. You know, if you get in yourself in the (?), your personality and just flowing with it, right to the sea.
学生:当然,非常好。有时候只是我的小我在说,你知道,这是怎么回事,但接着我能意识到(?)那只是小我。你知道,当我觉得你与无私相关,我就能更清楚地看到理由,朝着神的方向走要好得多。你知道,如果你把自己放进(?)里,你的人格,就随着它流动,一直流向大海。
Student1: We had a (?) name with a bunch of people and we are trying to live together, we are doing a little yoga, it didn't really work out. And we split up and I left looking around for a teacher, you know and experienced a few teachers until finally one day I was talking to somebody and they told me about this teacher, who is a real nut, you know and a real powerful kind of yoga he was doing, so, you know, I was naturally interested. So, I went over to see what he was doing and did some yoga and I got so worked out, I just started doing it, because it's got me higher than drugs, you know, so, that's how I got into it. You know, negativity and my own self, you know, gets worked out a lot. A lot of stuff gets released out of myself consciously, when I meditate with yogi and I feel very peaceful.
学生1:我们曾经和一群人一起用一个(?)名字,试着住在一起,也练一点瑜伽,但没真正成。后来我们散了,我就离开,四处找老师,你知道,也跟过几位老师,直到有一天我跟人聊天,他们跟我讲起这位老师,说他是个真正的怪人,你知道,他练的是一种真正强大的瑜伽,所以,你知道,我自然就感兴趣了。于是,我过去看他到底在做什么,也练了一些瑜伽,我一下子被震住了,就开始练起来,因为它让我比毒品还高,你知道,所以,我就是这样进入的。你知道,负面情绪和我自己,你知道,被清理掉很多。当我跟 Yogi 一起冥想时,很多很多东西会有意识地从我身上释放出来,我感到非常平静。
Purushotama: What's it like having your little child here, with you? What's it like, what's it like having a child and, and practicing yoga?
Purushotama:带着你的小孩在这里,跟你在一起,是什么感觉?有孩子,又练瑜伽,是什么感觉,是什么感觉?
Student1: It's really beautiful having a child. She teaches me a lot of things, you know. If I don't get up and do my Sadhana, she gets cranky all day long. And I don't know, I learn how to be relaxed you know, behind what she's doing. You know, because it's a real test, you know. Because a child gets at your ego, they know exactly where, where your ego is, they know exactly where your hang-ups are, you know, even from very young. And you know, like even a little young baby like this, she knows, she'll start crying and she knows that I can immediately say, 'is she sick,' or you know, this or that a freak out or I can just be really cool and flow with it and then, then she'll start doing whatever she's doing (?).
学生1:有个孩子真的很美。她教了我很多东西,你知道。如果我不起床做我的萨达那,她就会一整天闹脾气。我也不知道,我学会了放松,你知道,在她做的事背后放松。你知道,因为那是个真正的考验,你知道。因为孩子会戳到你的小我,他们完全知道你的小我在哪里,他们完全知道你的卡点在哪里,你知道,甚至从很小的时候就知道。你知道,就像这么小的婴儿,她也知道,她会开始哭,她知道我要么立刻说「她是不是病了」,或者你知道,这样那样地慌掉,要么我就可以真的很冷静,顺着它流动,然后,然后她就会开始做她正在做的事(?)。
Purushotama: Do you, do you get help from your friends in the ashram?
Purushotama:你,你会从灵修社区里的朋友那里得到帮助吗?
Student1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. That's, that's what an ashram is all about, you know, (?), we help each other out, raise our consciousness together.
学生1:哦,会,哦,会。那,那就是灵修社区的意义所在,你知道,(?),我们互相帮助,一起提升我们的意识。
Student: I used to play in a Rock n Roll band and was in pretty heavy in the drug scene for few years. And a, a friend turned me on to him. And the first class I went to, I'll never forget the first exercise I, we had to hold our legs at sixty degrees in the air for three minutes and that was like, it's, it's been ever since then.
学生:我以前在一个摇滚乐队里演奏,还深陷毒品圈子好几年。后来,一个朋友把我引到了他那里。我去上的第一堂课,我永远忘不了第一个练习,我们得把双腿以 60 度举在空中 3 分钟,那就像,从那以后就一直是这样了。
(Students laugh)
(学生们笑了)
So the experience were just so far out even after that first class and however our life changed right there and is a gradual, like inside I changed immediately, but the external appearances of things took a few months to workout. And I, I moved into the ashram, after several months I am, and it just became a very beautiful experience, like I am (?). You know, just started devoting my whole life to doing what I was doing, doing the yoga.
所以那次体验简直太超乎寻常了,即使是在第一堂课之后,我们的生活就在那一刻改变了,而且是渐进的,就像内在的我立刻变了,但外在的表象花了几个月才理顺。而我,我搬进了灵修社区,几个月后我,它就变成了一段非常美好的体验,就像我(?)。你知道,就是开始把整个生命投入到我在做的事上,投入到练瑜伽上。
Purushotama: Do you think of, of Yogi Ji as your father?
Purushotama:你把 Yogi Ji 当作你的父亲吗?
Student: I look at him as my spiritual father, you know. I am going to help my own parents, which I am related to, so I can't substitute him there. But you know, he's my, he's my spiritual father and everything. He's awakened in me all the spirituality, you know, that I have. You know, I got a certain place on drugs, and then he showed me beyond that what the potential was within myself. I had to realize that and, and hold it in consciousness at all times.
学生:我把他看作我的灵性父亲,你知道。我还会去帮助我自己的父母,我跟他们有血缘关系,所以我没法用他来替代他们。但你知道,他是我的,他是我的灵性父亲,是一切。他唤醒了我内在所有的灵性,你知道,我所拥有的那些。你知道,我通过毒品到达了某个境地,然后他向我展示了超越那之外的东西,展示了我内在的潜能。我必须去领悟它,并且,并且时时刻刻把它保持在意识里。
(?) you take drugs, you take (?), you get high and then you come back down again, but he told me how to, not just be psychedelic high, you know, not to see stars all the time and be spaced out but to keep a higher consciousness and still maintain yourself on the earth level. That'll be practically oriented and doing, have to do on the earth, run your business, do all that stuff, keep your marriage scene together and keep your family together, at the same time maintaining a higher consciousness.
(?)你吸毒,你(?),你high起来,然后又跌回来,但他告诉我怎么做,不只是迷幻地high,你知道,不是一直眼冒金星、神游天外,而是保持更高的意识,同时仍然让自己立足于大地层面。那会是务实的、落地的,去做你在大地上必须做的事,经营你的事业,做所有这些事,维持你的婚姻关系,维持你的家庭,同时保持更高的意识。
And he taught me that meditation doesn't mean going and sitting in a cave and spacing out. But it means the attitude (?) in your life is, the attitude that you live your life, the, the, the way you think when you, when you talk to people, how your, your attitude is and the way that you live. And the Samadhi isn't when you are totally gone out of your body and in a trance, but Samadhi is when your attitude is confirmed behavior, so that all the time you are infallible in your behavior that you have always tuned in. That's the, it's such a beautiful, practical thing, it's a, the whole way, the whole way of life is practically oriented, it's to bring spirituality onto the earth plain and workout our Karmas where they have to be worked out.
他还教我,冥想并不意味着跑去坐在山洞里神游。它意味着你生活中的态度(?),你过生活的态度,你,你,你思考的方式,当你,当你跟人说话时,你的,你的态度是怎样的,以及你生活的方式。而三摩地不是当你完全离开身体、进入恍惚状态的时候,三摩地是当你的态度成为确定的行为,这样你时时刻刻在行为上都无懈可击,因为你始终调着频。这就是,它是如此美好、如此务实的一件事,它是,整条路,整条生活方式都是务实的,它是要把灵性带到大地层面,把我们的业力在必须了结的地方了结掉。
Purushotama: Is it, is it, is it, is it fun, do you, do you, do you laugh living your life or is it, there is that pretty, pretty serious?
Purushotama:那,那,那,那有趣吗,你,你,你过你的生活时会笑吗,还是说,那相当,相当严肃?
Student: No, it's all fun, everything is a fun. It's all good you know, when you, your attitude gets a little bit together and you, you realize in your whole consciousness that there is a God, that there is a energy that prevails through everything at anytime and it's in a rock, it's in a, it's in your breath, it's in everything that's around you, it's always there. And it's like there's somebody who has a master plan all the time. And so these little changes come and they, these things happen to you, accidents happen to you, bad times come, good times come. So, you can remember, every time a bad time comes, there's, you know, there's still a Creator and He's prevailing through you at all times, as long as you are breathing. You know, He's giving you that breath and just the awareness of that breath was enough to tune you in and make you go with those bad times and take it easy. In the good times, you always remember that there are bad times too and you always keep a balance that way.
学生:不,这一切都很有趣,一切都是乐趣。一切都很好,你知道,当你的态度稍微整合起来,你在整个意识里意识到有一位神,有一种能量在任何时候贯穿一切,它在石头里,它在你的呼吸里,它在你周围的一切里,它一直在那里。就像一直有某个人握着总体规划。所以这些小变化来了,这些事情发生在你身上,意外发生在你身上,坏时光来了,好时光来了。所以,你可以记住,每次坏时光来临,你知道,仍然有一位造物主,只要你还在呼吸,他就一直贯穿你。你知道,他给你那口气,仅仅觉知到那口气就足以让你调频,让你度过那些坏时光,放轻松。在好时光里,你始终记得坏时光也会来,你就这样始终保持平衡。

Student1: I was into Hatha yoga and meditation for a few years before I went into Kundalini Yoga. And I always loved doing Hatha Yoga and meditation. And friends of ours turned us onto Kundalini Yoga and it just seemed to be a very positive way of, of getting, of doing yoga. And, and it was just, it was so beautiful being with, living with lot people, that whole idea really turned me on, just living in an ashram with people and eating good food and, and doing yoga with them and chanting. And, and the music too, there's so much music in, in, in 3HO, which is so, you know, so beautiful.
学生1:在我进入昆达里尼瑜伽之前,我练哈他瑜伽和冥想已经好几年了。我一直很喜欢做哈他瑜伽和冥想。我们的一些朋友把我们引向了昆达里尼瑜伽,它看起来是一种非常正向的做瑜伽的方式。而且,和很多人在一起、和他们一起生活,真是太美了,整个理念真的让我兴奋,就是住在灵修社区里,和大家一起吃好的食物,一起做瑜伽、唱诵。还有音乐,3HO 里有那么多音乐,你知道,那么美。
Purushotama: How do you relate to, to the fact that the Kundalini is a feminine force? Do you, do you feel and you are Adi Shakti, do you feel that you are the, at the basis of the universe, do you feel something is special from that?
Purushotama:你怎么看待昆达里尼是一种女性能量这件事?你,你感觉自己就是 Aad Shakti 吗,你感觉自己处在宇宙的根基处吗,你感觉从中有某种特别的东西吗?
Student1: Oh yes, it really reinforces my whole concept of myself, it really help and this is really helping me to feel, you know, my true self, my true identity with the female force.
学生1:哦,是的,它真的强化了我对自己的整个概念,它真的帮助了我,这真的在帮助我感受到,你知道,我真正的自己,我与女性能量真正的身份。
Purushotama: Do you think the men in the ashram, do you feel some sort of deeper respect coming from them because they, because they worship Kundalini as a, as a feminine Goddess?
Purushotama:你觉得灵修社区里的男人们,你感觉到他们有一种更深的尊重吗,因为他们,因为他们把昆达里尼当作一位女性的神来敬拜?
Student1: Oh yes, I have, I have never met in my whole life, men who have been so beautiful and kind and respectful and so nice and brotherly. They are just really good. And it's definitely an Aquarian thing, it's definitely, it's going to really pull in a lot of people in the future. And it's really now and it's, it's a very happening thing.
学生1:哦是的,我有,我这辈子从没见过这么美好、善良、尊重人、这么友善、这么有兄弟情谊的男人。他们真的很好。这绝对是水瓶年代的事,绝对是,将来真的会吸引很多人进来。而且它就在当下,它是,它是一件非常正在发生的事。
Purushotama: How about you? What happened to you?
Purushotama:你呢?你身上发生了什么?
Student (laughs): Yeah, that's what my parents keep asking me too. Well, I was going to school (?) and they started Kundalini yoga classes and I just started going. And at first, I really didn't know why I was going. There was something in me that was saying, 'you have to go.' And sometimes, I didn't even want to go and I just had to, I had to keep going to classes and then when I met Yogi Ji, I understood why I had to go. And everything really came together at that point.
学生(笑):是啊,我父母也一直这么问我。嗯,我当时在上学(?),他们开始办昆达里尼瑜伽课,我就开始去上了。一开始,我真的不知道自己为什么要去。我内在有个东西在说:「你必须去。」有时候,我甚至不想去,可我就是得去,我得一直去上课,后来当我遇到 Yogi Ji,我就明白自己为什么必须去了。一切在那一刻真的都串起来了。
Purushotama: But when you met him, what, what, precisely was it about that made you feel that divine necessity?
Purushotama:但你遇到他的时候,究竟是什么,究竟是什么让你感到那种神圣的必须?
Student: He put me through the heaviest changes in ten days, that, he put me through more changes in ten days than I had gone through in twenty years, up to that point. And he just, he just sucked out all negativity that was in me and made me realize, who I was, made me work on myself, till I got to a point where I was able to see the parents in my life, I was able to see the foes and I was able to understand the cause and effect and see who I was and where I was going.
学生:他在十天里让我经历了最沉重的转变,他在十天里让我经历的转变,比我在那之前二十年里经历的还要多。他就,他就把我内在所有的负面全都吸走了,让我认清我是谁,让我在自己身上下功夫,直到我到达一个点,能够看清我生命中的父母,能够看清敌人,能够理解因果,看清我是谁、我要去哪里。
Purushotama: Do you have any brothers or sisters in your family that are interested in this? Do you, do you find it's hard to interest other people or, or aren't you interested in interesting other people?
Purushotama:你家里有没有兄弟姐妹对这个感兴趣?你,你觉得让别人感兴趣很难吗,还是,还是你并不想去让别人感兴趣?
Student: That was one, one of the hardest lessons that I had to learn when I became a teacher, was that this always felt so right for me, right from the beginning, I just knew, well, this is it, well, this is, this is what I have been looking for. And it took me a long time to, to realize that, maybe it wasn't what everyone else is looking for you know and there on everyone has their own path. And an important thing that all spiritual groups now have to learn is tolerance. The important thing that all of us have to learn is tolerance. And it's the role of a teacher is, just to be available and to allow the students to find him and the students will find him, if he has something to offer and someone needs that, that person will find him. And he shouldn't, he shouldn't run after the students, he should just be available and be humble and be willing to serve.
学生:那是我成为老师后不得不学的最难的功课之一,就是这件事对我来说一直感觉那么对,从一开始我就知道,嗯,就是这个,这就是我一直在寻找的。我花了很长时间才意识到,也许这并不是每个人都在寻找的东西,你知道,每个人都有自己的路。现在所有灵性团体都必须学会的一件重要的事,就是包容。我们所有人都必须学会的一件重要的事,就是包容。老师的角色就是,只是在那里,让学生来找他,学生自然会找到他,如果他有东西可以给,而有人需要那个,那个人就会找到他。他不应该,不应该追着学生跑,他应该只是在那里,保持谦卑,愿意去服务。
Purushotama: Do you feel strange being a full-fledged yoga teacher or, or, or, or do you, do you think that you (?) further to go to become qualified?
Purushotama:你觉得自己是个正式的瑜伽老师,会不会觉得奇怪,还是,还是,还是,还是你觉得你(?)还要再往前走才能算合格?
Student: Well, I don't think of myself as a teacher. Because whenever I think of myself as a teacher, everything falls apart. And I just understand, you know, it's like, look at us, here we have been doing yoga for two-three years, you know, who are we to teach yoga, who are we to teach consciousness, when we are not in that consciousness. So, that's another lesson in humility. And, and before, before we teach a class, we chant a certain mantra, which reminds us that we are not teaching and that teachings are flowing through us and that the same way the teaching flow through Yogi Ji to us, the teachings are flowing through us to other people and...
学生:嗯,我不把自己当成老师。因为每当我把自己当成老师,一切就都散掉了。我只是明白,你知道,就像,看看我们,我们练瑜伽才两三年,你知道,我们凭什么教瑜伽,我们凭什么教意识,当我们自己都不在那个意识里。所以,这是关于谦卑的又一课。而且,而且在我们教课之前,我们会唱诵某个曼陀罗,它提醒我们,我们不是在教,教导是流经我们的,就像教导从 Yogi Ji 流经到我们这里一样,教导也从我们这里流经到别人那里,而且……
Purushotama: What's that mantra? Can you chant it for us and give, give the meaning?
Purushotama:那个曼陀罗是什么?你能为我们唱诵它,并给出,给出它的含义吗?
Student: Mantra is,
学生:曼陀罗是,
'Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo.'
「Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo。」
It means, Ong is a creative force of the universe, Namo means I salute you, I bow to you and Guru Dev is that divine teacher, which was in every person and it's to remind the teacher that actually, the student is teaching himself in the process of the Kundalini yoga class is to awaken the teacher within the student. So that, that, that teacher, which is one, which was in everyone, can teach that person. It's not the teacher that's teaching, it's higher consciousness within the student that's teaching him.
它的意思是,Ong 是宇宙的创造之力,Namo 的意思是我向你致敬,我向你顶礼,而 Guru Dev 就是那位神圣的老师,它在每个人之内,这是为了提醒老师,其实,在昆达里尼瑜伽课的过程中,是学生在教自己,是为了唤醒学生内在的老师。所以,那个老师,那个唯一的、在每个人之内的老师,才能教那个人。不是老师在教,是学生内在更高的意识在教他。
And, when you, when you tune into that teacher, you find he's teaching you all the time, not just when you are in a yoga class. And that, this whole life and this whole earth is just a school and that it's a, the physical manifestation, since it happened to you or the way that his teacher teaches you, what you need to learn.
而且,当你,当你调频到那位老师,你会发现他一直在教你,不只是你在瑜伽课上的时候。这整个生命、整个地球就是一所学校,它是,那个物质层面的显现,既然它发生在你身上,或者他的老师教你的方式,就是你需要学的东西。
Everything, everything is a teacher. A tree is a teacher, a tree teaches you to stand firm and calm through the ages. A cloud teaches you how to flow through the scene unattached. A bird teaches you how to get up before the sun and chant.
一切,一切都是老师。一棵树是老师,一棵树教你历经岁月而坚定、平静地站立。一朵云教你如何不执着地流过整个场景。一只鸟教你如何在太阳升起之前起床唱诵。
Student (chants): 'Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo.'
学生(唱诵):「Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo。」

Purushotama: Do you hear that Nam, all the time going on inside you?
Purushotama:你听到那个 Nam 了吗,一直在你里面进行着?
(Students laugh)
(学生们笑)
Student: You better say yes.
学生:你最好说听到了。
Student: No, I, I don't hear the Nam going on all the time, although that's just the things, way things sound, you know, become more beautiful as your attitude becomes confirmed. And the sound current, which is the Nam, is there all the time and the first stage of consciousness in tuning into the Nam is, whether you can consciously tune into it, when you set yourself to tune into it, you can tune into it and we can hear it.
学生:不,我,我没有一直听到 Nam 在进行,虽然那只是,事物听起来的样子,你知道,随着你的态度变得坚定,一切变得更美。而那个音流,也就是 Nam,一直都在那里,而意识调频进入 Nam 的第一个阶段就是,你能不能有意识地调频进入它,当你让自己去调频进入它,你就能调频进入它,我们就能听到它。
Purushotama: Do you repeat it yourself?
Purushotama:你自己重复它吗?
Student: Well, the process of chanting is a way of tuning yourself to vibrate, so that the Nam can come in your consciousness more clearly. And when you chant the vibrations of Sat Nam, that Sa sound and that Aa sound is the sound of the Nam, the sound current, which is always flowing it's that infinite vibration, which is always going.
学生:嗯,唱诵的过程是一种把自己调频到振动的方式,这样 Nam 就能更清晰地进入你的意识。当你唱诵 Sat Nam 的振动时,那个 Sa 音和那个 Aa 音就是 Nam 的声音,那个音流,它一直在流动,它是那个无限的振动,一直在进行着。
Purushotama: After you chant, how long does, how long does it vibrate with you, before, before you go back to ordinary consciousness?
Purushotama:你唱诵之后,它会和你一起振动多久,多久,在你,在你回到普通意识之前?
Student: Well, it's all ordinary consciousness, it's just the sound is always there and from chanting the mantra in the morning, that mantra is in your consciousness all day long. It's like we chant, 'Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam Siri Wahe Guru,' in the morning and you kind of go through the day and everything is chanting along, you know, 'Ek Ong Kar,' walk down the street, 'Sat Nam,' step off the kerb, 'Siri Wa' and step up on the other kerb, Guru you know. And it's a continual process, it's not something, which you sit down and do and get up and go do something else, you know.
学生:嗯,一切都是普通意识,只是那个声音一直在那里,而早上唱诵曼陀罗,那个曼陀罗一整天都在你的意识里。就像我们早上唱诵「Ek Ong Kar Sat Nam Siri Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo」,然后你度过这一天,一切都在跟着唱,你知道,「Ek Ong Kar」,走在街上,「Sat Nam」,走下路缘,「Siri Wa」,再走上另一边的路缘,Guru,你知道。它是一个持续的过程,它不是那种你坐下来做、然后起身去做别的事的东西,你知道。
Purushotama: WBAI in New York. So, what are you doing here?
Purushotama:这里是纽约的 WBAI。那么,你在这里做什么?
Student3: I am sitting here playing some music, vibrating the Nam.
学生3:我坐在这里弹一些音乐,振动 Nam。
Purushotama: Is, is anymore to life than that?
Purushotama:生命除了这个,还有别的吗?
Student3: Anymore to life than that, sure there's, life is everything. Everything whatever you do is, living is part of life.
Student3:生命除了这个还有别的,当然有,生命就是一切。无论你做什么,活着就是生命的一部分。
Purushotama: Do you have any goal in mind for your life?
Purushotama:你对自己的人生有什么目标吗?
Student3: To be a totally positive perhaps.
Student3:也许是成为一个完全正向的人。
Purushotama: What do you mean by that?
Purushotama:你这话是什么意思?
Student3: Well, just not, not a producing any negative effects or negative habits, you know, trying to be in a, a really clear head all the time.
Student3:嗯,就是不去,不制造任何负面的影响或负面的习惯,你知道,就是试着一直保持一个真正清醒的头脑。
Purushotama: But, lot, there are lot of people who are clear head without practicing yoga or the Nam. What, what was the difference? What difference is there when you do?
Purushotama:可是,很,有很多人头脑清醒,却没有练瑜伽或圣名。那,那有什么区别?当你练的时候,有什么不同?
Student3: Well, I, I imagine, you know, the path this, you know, many ray, many ways to reach the top of the mountain. You know, there are different paths for every person, you know, the people that are in Kundalini Yoga are just, you know, people, it's in their destiny, you know, it's not choice, you just flow along into it.
Student3:嗯,我,我想,你知道,这条路,你知道,很多道,很多条路都能到达山顶。你知道,每个人都有不同的路,你知道,在昆达里尼瑜伽里的人只是,你知道,这些人,这是他们的天命,你知道,这不是选择,你就是顺着它流动进去。
Purushotama: So, you don't feel like you are something special, because you practice spiritual life?
Purushotama:所以,你不觉得自己有什么特别,因为你修灵性生活?
Student3: Well, that's, that's just an ego trip, I think. If you, you know, I, I went through that myself, you know and then the more I think about it, you know, it's just, this is, you know, this is part of life, you know, it's a, you know, what we do is, what we do, it's a, it's, it's not special, this is not even different, it's just, it's just a regular thing. It's very normal actually. In fact that makes a lot of sense.
Student3:嗯,那,那只是小我在作祟,我想。如果你,你知道,我,我自己也经历过那个,你知道,然后我越想越觉得,你知道,这只是,这是,你知道,这是生命的一部分,你知道,这是,你知道,我们做什么就是做什么,这是,这是,这并不特别,这甚至没什么不同,这只是,只是一件平常的事。其实非常正常。事实上这很说得通。

Student4: And at this time we just started feeling that well, looks like Yogi Bhajan is the one for us. And we kept going to the ashram. And we started thinking that may we get some people of (?) form and (?) the way it turned out is, nobody showed up and looked like we are going to have to spend another winter of complete seclusion. But he said, but he said, not for us. We are going to have to go where the energy is. And so, we just, we heard that Yogi Ji was going to be in Brooklyn, so we just packed up all (?) close down the farm, zoomed into New York, heard the lecture and really got confirmed about the whole thing.
Student4:就在这个时候,我们开始觉得,嗯,看来 Yogi Bhajan 就是我们要找的人。我们就一直去灵修社区。我们开始想,也许我们能招到一些(?)形式的人,(?)结果却是,没有人来,看来我们又要再过一个完全与世隔绝的冬天。但他说,但他说,不是为我们。我们得去有能量在的地方。所以,我们,我们听说 Yogi Ji 要去布鲁克林,我们就收拾好所有(?)关掉农场,冲进纽约,听了那场讲课,真的对整个事情确认了。
And then we estimated we can live in the ashram, the first reply was no, there's not enough room. So, we just hung around for a day and the next day Bagh Singh, the master who's the head of the Guru Ram Das ashram, Brooklyn, he said, "Oh well, we'll squeeze you in some place."
然后我们估计我们可以住在灵修社区里,第一个答复是不行,地方不够。所以,我们就闲待了一天,第二天 Bagh Singh,那位 Guru Ram Das 灵修社区布鲁克林的主事大师,他说:「哦,好吧,我们把你挤进某个地方。」
And we stayed there and we have been there for the last two months and it's just been unbelievable changes, growing sense of bliss and happiness, things are just better than ever in our lives and (?) time, just realized that I am just one like everybody else, trying to be as pure a channel as I can be.
我们就待在那里,过去两个月一直待在那里,变化简直难以置信,极乐和幸福感不断增长,我们的生活比以往任何时候都好,而且(?)时候,我意识到我和其他人一样,只是努力做一个尽可能纯净的通道。
