中英对照全文
With all the subject we had discussed so far, tonight we are discussing the most important correct subject and that is 'love is my last chance.' Why I said that love is my last chance? Because that's why how, human karma got the body. Human karma did not get the body and the environments of the body and the parents and the relatives and the longitude and latitude where you were born to hassle your life all the way. You hassle life and by profession you have become a hassler, that's not human. Human life when has no love at heart and no affection in head, is the life of a hassler, it's a life of pain, disgrace, unfulfillment, doubt, questions, it has no integrity, no dignity, with all the wealth of the world, it has no peace.
到目前为止我们讨论过的所有主题里,今晚我们要讨论最重要的、最正确的主题,那就是「爱是我最后的机会」。为什么我说爱是我最后的机会?因为人类的业力就是因此才得到身体的。人类的业力得到身体、得到身体的环境、得到父母、亲属,得到你出生地的经度和纬度,并不是为了折腾你一辈子的生活。是你自己折腾生活,还靠这行当成了个折腾的人,那就不是人了。人的一生,如果心里没有爱、头脑里没有情感,那就是一个折腾者的一生,是痛苦、羞辱、不满足、怀疑、质问的一生,它没有正直,没有尊严,哪怕拥有全世界的财富,也没有安宁。
So spirituality as it is, examined in the light of today, it's kind of a showpiece. Spirituality is a very dignified discipline. Spirituality is a discipline of your own soul, your own consciousness, your own intuition. Spirituality is a strength, religion is a reality, religion is not a, you know couple things and you say couple things and then you do also couple things, that's all it is. That's not true. It's just like a half cooked food, neither it is tasty nor it is original, and that's what we do in life. But that's not and that's why in our life there is a problem. Love is my last chance in life in the sense that I have to love, first of all my own consciousness, I have to love my own character, I have to love my own characteristics, I have to love my own dignity, I have to love my own dimension, there are so many things, I am supposed to love for myself before even I say one word, I want to love you. I understand that when you are young, you want a soulmate or you want a friend or a relative or a lover and or a husband or there are so many things going on in this society. It doesn't give you anything because incomplete is relating to incomplete. You should try to understand something very simple logic of it, incomplete human is helping the other incomplete. It means I have a broken leg and I am trying to help a person who has a broken arm. So that does not mean that I am not helping and that does not mean other person is not getting help and this kind of living and this kind of religion and this kind of situation doesn't make sense.
所以灵性这东西,放到今天的光下来检视,有点像件摆设。灵性是一门极有尊严的纪律。灵性是你自己灵魂的纪律,是你自己意识的纪律,是你自己直觉的纪律。灵性是一种力量,宗教是一种现实,宗教不是——你知道,说几句、念几句,然后再做几下,那就完了。不是那样的。那就像半生不熟的食物,既不好吃,也不是本味,而我们在生活里就是这么干的。但那不是,也正因为如此,我们的生活里才有问题。爱是我此生最后的机会,意思是:我必须去爱,首先是我自己的意识,我必须爱自己的品格,我必须爱自己的特质,我必须爱自己的尊严,我必须爱自己的维度,有太多太多东西,在我还没说出一句「我想爱你」之前,我本就该先为自己去爱。我明白,当你年轻的时候,你想要一个灵魂伴侣,或者想要一个朋友、一个亲人、一个爱人,或者一个丈夫,这个社会里有太多这样的事。它什么都给不了你,因为不完整的东西在和另一个不完整的东西发生关系。你该试着弄懂一个非常简单的逻辑,不完整的人在帮另一个不完整的人。意思是我断了一条腿,还在试着帮一个断了胳膊的人。所以这并不意味着我没在帮,也不意味着另一个人没得到帮助,而这种活法、这种宗教、这种境况,都说不通。
Now, love what you understand is very different than what love is. You have sensual love, you have sexual love, you have personal love, you have conditional love, you have unconditional love and you can call the love with anything. Actually love is a self-acknowledgement. When I love myself, I can be so rich, I can love everybody. The depending love, that because you love me, you depend on me and I love you, I depend on you and because I expect, in business now I expect this, you expect this, this is not, that is not love, that is called, what you can call it? Softening the way. Meaning something different, doing something different. Love is the most abused one word in the human vocabulary. Because first condition of love is when you are in love or you love somebody you have no question to be asked. Where there is a question there is no love. Where there is a condition, there is no love. Where there is a expectation, there is no love. Where there is jurisdiction, there is no love. Where there is a territory, there is no love. Which can be defined and have dimension has no love.
现在,你所理解的爱,和爱本身,是不一样的。你有利欲的爱,有性的爱,有个人的爱,有有条件的爱,有无条件的爱,你可以把爱叫成任何东西。其实爱是一种自我认可。当我爱我自己,我就能那么丰盛,我就能爱每一个人。那种依赖的爱,是因为你爱我,你就依赖我,我爱你,我就依赖你,而且因为我有所期待,在交易里,现在我期待这个,你期待那个,这不是,那不是爱,那叫做,你能叫它什么?软化那条路。意思是另有所图,做的是另一回事。爱是人类语汇里被滥用得最厉害的一个词。因为爱的第一个条件就是,当你处在爱里,或者你爱某个人,你没有任何问题要问。有问题的地方,就没有爱。有条件的地方,就没有爱。有期待的地方,就没有爱。有管辖范围的地方,就没有爱。有地盘的地方,就没有爱。可以被定义、可以有尺寸的,都没有爱。
So basically, technologically, somebody asked me a question today, "How is my wife doing?"
所以基本上,从技术上讲,今天有人问我一个问题:「我妻子过得怎么样?」
I said, "Oh you are talking about my daughter?"
我说:「哦,你是在说我的女儿?」
He said, "Yeah."
他说:「是啊。」
I said, "I forget she is your wife."
我说:「我都忘了她是你妻子。」
"Why?"
「为什么?」
I said, "She is here my daughter. She will be your wife, when she will be with you, here she is my daughter, she is fine. She has come to the parents home, she is happy."
我说:「她在这儿是我的女儿。她跟你在……的时候,她才是你的妻子,在这儿她是我的女儿,她很好。她回娘家来了,她很快乐。」
"Are you sure, she is happy, not happy?"
「你确定她快乐,还是不快乐?」
I said, "I am not going to be sure, neither I am worried to be sure nor I am going to see the dictionary whether I am sure or not, I have nothing to be sure about."
我说:「我不会去确定,我既不操心要去确定,也不会去查字典看我到底确定不确定,我没有什么要去确定的。」
"She has come to the father's house. She cannot be happy, then when she will go to God, she won't be happy either, God is a father too."
「她回到父亲家里。她要是不能快乐,那等她去见神的时候,她也不会快乐,神也是父亲。」
I said, "It's a relationship, it's a relationship of a dimension but here is a relationship of totality and when the relationship is a relationship of totality, then there is a reality." Otherwise, you shall be cheated with your own progression of love. What you think love is, if progression is not right, the result cannot be right.
我说:「那是一种关系,那是一种有尺度的关系,而这里是全然的关系,当关系是全然的关系时,才有真实。」否则,你会被你自己的爱的进展所欺骗。你所认为的爱,如果进展不对,结果就不可能对。
When a child wants to go and catch a burning fiery wood, mother goes in jump and stops and pushes him away, it's a very cruel act, harsh act, it's a act of enforcement but it's a love, it's a protection, it's a mother's bondage for the child, protection. These are the faculties in which we act under love. In love we honor, in love we grace people, in love we support, in love we sacrifice, in love we give, in love we elevate, in love we will pray.
当一个孩子想去抓燃烧的烈火,母亲会跳过去拦住他,把他推开,这是非常残酷的行为,严厉的行为,是强制性的行为,但那是爱,那是保护,是母亲对孩子的束缚,是保护。我们就是在这些能力里,在爱的驱动下行动。在爱里我们尊重,在爱里我们赐予优雅,在爱里我们支持,在爱里我们牺牲,在爱里我们给予,在爱里我们提升,在爱里我们祈祷。
Love and fear are two forces. Whatever you do under fear, it shall takeaway from you your life. Whatever you shall do under love, it will give you fulfillment. Love shall not satisfy your emotions, that's a unfortunate part of it. Love will not satisfy your neurosis. Love will not satisfy your ego. The only God you have is your love and God has no dimension. Ego has every dimension. So when you are in love, you have no dimension, when you have dimension, you are not in love. And this cross reference of life takes away ninety-nine point nine percent of your life and you are totally blank at the time of death, you did not accomplish one chance which God gave you through human body and love was your last chance. You couldn't love anybody, you couldn't love anybody without condition, you couldn't love anybody like God, you couldn't love anybody without control, territory, expectations and whatever. If anybody wants to experience God, the person may talk years and years and years, years about everything, every knowledge. They are just you can read a library book after book. If from that person tons of love does not show up and projection is not totally clean and clear love, rest is just a bait, it is called hooker's paradise. Our love is nothing but hooker's paradise. We put a bait of love and we put a hook in between to get our job done. It's extremely blinding, it is very destructive.
爱与恐惧是两种力量。你在恐惧之下所做的任何事,都会夺走你的生命。你在爱之下所做的任何事,都会给你满足。爱不会满足你的情绪,这是它不幸的一面。爱不会满足你的神经质。爱不会满足你的小我。你唯一拥有的神就是你的爱,而神没有维度。小我有一切维度。所以当你在爱里,你就没有维度,当你有维度,你就不在爱里。生命里这种相互对照,会拿走你生命里百分之九十九点九,到死的时候你完全空白,神通过人身给你的那一个机会你没有完成,而爱是你最后的机会。你无法爱任何人,你无法无条件地爱任何人,你无法像神那样爱任何人,你无法不带控制、领地、期待之类东西去爱任何人。如果任何人想体验神,这个人可以讲很多年很多年很多年,讲一切,讲每一种知识。他们只是——你可以一本接一本地读图书馆的书。如果从那个人身上没有流露出大量的爱,如果他的投射不是彻底干净、清晰的爱,其余的都只是诱饵,那叫做妓女的天堂。我们的爱不过是妓女的天堂。我们放一个爱的诱饵,中间再挂一个钩子,好把我们要办的事办成。这极其令人盲目,非常有破坏性。
I tell you the story of something very beautiful, it's a very well known story but it will tell you something. Akbar the Mogul King was the King of whole India, unfortunately with all his wives and concubines and dance girls and everything else, he was in love with Birbal his grand vizier's wife. Not only that she was very beautiful, she was extremely wise, she was very arrogant, she was very upfront, I mean to say whatever a King could like, she had that all and she was not his wife, therefore she was grand for viziers wife, so she was very social and open and somehow he got blinded by his passion, so he decided, all right I am going to have her.
我给你讲一个非常美的故事,这个故事很有名,但它会告诉你一些东西。莫卧儿皇帝阿克巴是整个印度的国王,不幸的是,他有那么多妻子、妃嫔、舞女,还有别的什么,可他却爱上了比尔巴——他的宰相——的妻子。不仅如此,她非常美,她极其智慧,她非常傲慢,她非常直率,我的意思是,一个国王能喜欢的,她全都有,而她又偏偏不是他的妻子,所以作为宰相的妻子,她非常善于社交、非常开放,不知怎么的,他就被自己的情欲弄瞎了眼,于是他决定,好吧,我要得到她。
Now grand vizier is a grand vizier, he was not anything else, so he told him to go to the East-Coast, there is a revolt there and he should supervise that revolt and he send him as under him a very hard, harsh stone-head commander. So Birbal came home and said to his wife, he said, "Honey I am going to leave very soon and the King has ordered that way." He said, "That revolt can be settled very fast. King you should not go but I think King is after me not, not after revolt." These many minor revolts happen here and there, he doesn't send his grand vizier anytime.
宰相就是宰相,他不是别的什么,所以他就吩咐他去东海岸,那里有一场叛乱,他应该去监督那场叛乱,还派了一个冷酷、严厉、石头脑袋的指挥官在他手下。于是比尔巴回到家,对他的妻子说,他说:「亲爱的,我很快就要走了,国王是这么下令的。」他说:「那场叛乱很快就能平定。国王啊,你不该去,但我觉得国王是冲我来的,不是冲着叛乱。这些大大小小的叛乱到处都在发生,他从来不会因此派他的宰相去。」
But she said, "Husband you don't worry about, you will just go, about two, three days, he will call you back, there is nothing to worry."
可她说:「丈夫,你别担心,你就去,大概两三天,他就会把你叫回来,没什么好担心的。」
He said, "Well, I am worried or not but question is, I will just give you the statement what the facts are, I am going."
他说:「我担不担心是另一回事,问题是,我只把事实告诉你,我要走了。」
Today Birbal leaves, next day the King was invited to come and dine at her house. He blinded by passion, King said, "Wow, look at it, I don't have to raise a pinky. She has already understood, I knew she was very wise. So I will go and I will eat there and pass my whole night and that will be little good." So invitation was very fast accepted. So Akbar came and she served him thirty-six dishes. He looked around, he ate little, little but God it was all got to his head and he said, "Begum, now I know Birbal is why very wise, he eats such a wonderful food, you cooked well, I can't even tell you what is all about."
今天比尔巴走了,第二天国王就被邀请来她家吃饭。他被情欲弄瞎了眼,国王说:「哇,看看,我连小指头都不用抬。她早就明白了,我就知道她非常智慧。所以我要去,我要在那儿吃饭,过一整夜,那会不错。」于是邀请很快就被接受了。阿克巴来了,她端上三十六道菜。他看了看四周,吃了一点,一点,可天哪,这一切都冲上了他的头,他说:「夫人,现在我知道比尔巴为什么那么智慧了,他吃这么好的食物,你做得太好了,我都没法跟你形容这都是什么。」
She said, "Oh King, it is nothing, basic in every food is potatoes, only I have shaped them different and I have spiced them differently, I think your emperorship understand that spices and shapes do not take the basic thing away and that is a potato."
她说:「哦国王,这不算什么,每道菜的基础都是土豆,只是我把它做成不同的形状,用不同的香料调味,我想陛下会明白,香料和形状不会把基础的东西拿走,那就是土豆。」
King got the message. Then a second question he asked, he said, "Now you caught me, I am Akbar. Best friend of Birbal my grand vizier has a ill-will towards you."
国王收到了消息。接着他又问了第二个问题,他说:「现在你抓到我了,我就是 Akbar。我最好的朋友、我的首相 Birbal 对你怀有恶意。」
She said, "It's a very right thing to do. I am more intelligent than you. I am bright and I am not your possession and how can you be a King, your basic nature is to posses everything which is bright and beautiful. So I am just a victim of your lust."
她说:「这么做再正当不过。我比你更有智慧。我明亮,而我不是你的占有物,你怎么可能是个国王呢——你的本性就是占有每一个明亮而美丽的东西。所以我不过是你色欲的牺牲品罢了。」
He said, "But why I am so foolish?"
他说:「可我怎么就这么愚蠢?」
She said, "Akbar in this worldly domain, love is the sacrifice, which you have never learnt. All you have learned in the worldly domain dominance and dominance is a lust."
她说:「Akbar,在这世俗的疆域里,爱是牺牲,这是你从未学会的。在世俗的疆域里,你只学会了主宰,而主宰就是色欲。」
After learning that hard lesson Akbar asked for leave, he said, "I like to go retire to my palace now."
学会了这艰难的一课之后,Akbar 请求告退,他说:「我现在想回我的宫殿休息了。」
She said, "You can sleep here, I have made a bed for you."
她说:「你可以睡在这儿,我已经给你铺好床了。」
He said, "Are you sure?"
他说:「你确定?」
She said, "I am very sure. You should sleep here."
她说:「我非常确定。你应当睡在这儿。」
So she showed him his quarters and Akbar went there, there was a big wooden bed, it has only one sheet on it. Akbar came and said, "Madam, though the room is very decorated and very precious but bed is very hard."
于是她带他去了他的住处,Akbar 走过去,那里有一张很大的木床,上面只铺了一条单子。Akbar 走过来说:「女士,虽然这房间布置得很讲究、很珍贵,可这张床实在太硬了。」
And she said, "Don't pretend at four o'clock in the morning that you are one with God, I think remain one with God whole night. If you do not know how to sleep on this wooden bed, how can you sleep peacefully in your grave? Practice now."
她说:「别在凌晨四点假装你与神合一了,我看你整夜都与神合一吧。如果你不知道怎么在这张木床上睡觉,你又怎么能在坟墓里安然入睡?现在就开始练。」
He said, "Well I cannot refuse the invitation to sleep here but I will like the permission to go back to my palace."
他说:「好吧,我没法拒绝在这儿过夜的邀请,不过我希望能被准许回我的宫殿。」
They said Akbar thereafter never slept on his own bed, he send his people to get that bed in his palace and rest of his life, he slept on that one bed, which was hard bed of wood and it has nothing underneath but one sheet to cover himself, rest of his life. But immediately when he came to his palace, he sent special horsemen messengers to ask Birbal to come back he said, "There is a state emergency, I will like to consult you, you please return, let the commander go and take care of things." And Birbal knew the job is done. So Birbal said, "I will leave tomorrow."
他们说,在那之后 Akbar 再也没睡过自己的床,他派人把那张床搬进了他的宫殿,余生他就睡在那张床上——那是一张硬的木床,底下什么都没有,只有一条单子盖着自己,一直到余生都是如此。可他一回到宫殿,立刻派了专门的骑兵信使去叫 Birbal 回来,他说:「国家有紧急状况,我想与你商议,请你回来,让统帅去照看事务吧。」而 Birbal 知道活儿干完了。于是 Birbal 说:「我明天就走。」
And the messenger said, "Why?"
信使问:「为什么?」
I said, "Well I am going to meet a new emperor, first tonight I will learn to sleep on a wooden bed, myself."
我说:「嗯,我要去见一位新皇帝,今晚我要先学会自己睡在一张木床上。」
So try to understand, those who understand life and love, they have endurance, they do not act childish, they do not act passionate and entangle themself in commotion and neurosis. Their words are like jewels and they are conscious like, liked brightness of God and their strength is like Infinity. These are the people who really are the beloveds of God and they enjoy the love as the last chance of life. Otherwise Maya is so bewitching, people forget their reality and they forget so bad, that a last day, they can't forget, why didn't they prepare for the last day. You prepare in your life for tomorrow. There is no tomorrow, every tomorrow shall become today to face you and today you always face but the day you started preparing yourself last day, when I quit the planet, what legacy I am going to live behind and what I shall have link with Infinity you are liberated.
所以要试着理解,那些懂得生命与爱的人,他们有忍耐力,他们不表现得像个孩子,他们不表现得情绪冲动,把自己缠进混乱和神经质里。他们的话语像珠宝,他们像神的光明那样有觉知,他们的力量像无限。这些人真正是神所爱的人,他们把爱当作生命最后的机会来享受。否则幻象太迷人了,人们忘记了自己的真实,忘得那么厉害,到了最后一天,他们没法忘记,为什么当初没有为最后一天做准备。你在自己的一生里为明天做准备。根本没有明天,每一个明天都会变成今天来面对你,而今天你总要面对,可你开始为最后一天做准备的那一天,当你离开这个星球时,我要留下什么遗产,我将与无限有什么联结,你就解脱了。
Let's do the Kriya. Please sit straight. Put your left hand on your heart center please and put your right hand as you are taking oath. Very calmly, close down your eyes and roll your eyes and angle them at your chin. Please breathe only by counting your breath consciously, do not breathe any uncounted breath, that will do. Every breath you inhale and exhale, counted as one. And just breathe consciously, you are born with breath, you live by breath and you die with breath, count your breath and see the changes you go, just counting of breath, no big deal, your eyes must be rolled down and put in the moon center, that will give you lot of intelligence, lot of intuition and lot of integrity.
我们来做奎亚。请坐直。请把左手放在你的心轮,把右手放成宣誓的姿势。非常平静地,闭上眼睛,把眼球向下转,定在下巴那里。请只通过有意识地数息来呼吸,不要呼吸任何没有数过的呼吸,那样就可以。你吸入和呼出的每一呼吸,算作一次。就这样有意识地呼吸,你生来带着呼吸,你靠呼吸活着,你死时也随着呼吸,数你的呼吸,看看你经历的变化,只是数呼吸,没什么大不了,你的眼睛必须向下卷起,放在月亮中心,那会给你很多智力,很多直觉,很多正直。

Count your breath, control your posture. That should tell you your strength. If you practice this for half an hour everyday, thirty-one minutes let's say, you have mastery over your tattvas. Now please inhale deep, and hold, and circulate your breath by a mental force that it is going through all cells of the body. Exhale. Again deeply inhale, very nicely be firm and now by a mental hypnotic force, take it to all cells of the body. Let it go. Inhale again please. And relax. This relaxation which you have earned you cannot buy and you cannot sell and nobody can give it to you, this you have to earn yourself and this much relaxation everyday you need to cope up with the stress everyday. It's a very simple exercise, the breath when it's counted the word is Sat Nam, Sohung, that's the secret I didn't tell you to begin with, you know you always keep something. Well, if I tell you everything what do you need me for? So we will have another class, we will go to the (?) route in that and we will chant the basic mantra in a very scientific style and get the experience to see whatever has been, (give my glasses). Whatever has been said in the knowledge and the sages is true or not. Meanwhile, Sangeeth standup and sing to them, May the longtime sunshine upon you...
数你的呼吸,控制你的姿势。这会告诉你自己的力量。如果你每天练这个半小时,比如说 31 分钟,你就掌控了自己的五大元素(Tattvas)。现在请深吸气,屏息,用念力让呼吸循环,让它穿过身体的每一个细胞。呼气。再深吸气,很好地、稳稳地,然后用念力催眠般地把它带到身体的每一个细胞。放开它。再吸气。然后放松。这份你挣来的放松,你买不到,也卖不掉,没有人能给你,这得你自己挣来。每天你都需要这么多的放松,才能应对每天的压力的。这是一个很简单的练习,呼吸被数的时候,那个词就是 Sat Nam、Sohung,这是秘密,我一开始没告诉你,你知道,你总得留点什么。我要是什么都告诉你了,还需要我干嘛?所以我们还会再上一堂课,在那堂课上我们走那条(?)路线,我们会用一种非常科学的方式唱诵这个基本曼陀罗,去体验,看看知识里和圣人们说过的那些到底是不是真的。趁这会儿,Sangeeth 站起来,给他们唱:永恒的阳光照耀着你……

YB: Thank you very much, good night. It was nice. Hah, time is coming that you all have to become teachers. Time is coming that you have to come out of your shells and cocoons, time shall demand on you that you should help people and really elevate them and it will be a good thing to do. Time will be changing very fast and you won't recognize, after so long we will say, oh this used to be a land now they are all houses. Things will change faster. There is going to be a disease called grip of emptiness and this is going to sweep across the world not to any one nation and a person and you have to, to match it up, you have to be very fulfilled. It's my prayer that you learn now to follow what I followed. There are certain qualities in me, which you must have.
Yogi Bhajan:非常感谢,晚安。刚才很好。哈,时候快到了,你们都得成为老师。时候快到了,你们得从自己的壳和茧里出来,时代会要求你们去帮助人们,真正提升他们,这件事做起来会很好。时代会变得非常快,你根本认不出来,过了那么久,我们会说,哦,这儿以前是一片土地,现在全是房子了。事情会变得更快。会出现一种叫空虚魔爪的疾病,它会横扫全世界,不止针对哪一个国家、哪一个人,而你必须、必须去和它相匹配,你必须非常充实圆满。我祈愿你现在就学会去遵循我所遵循的东西。我身上有一些品质,是你必须具备的。
In spite of the fact I am his holiness, Bhai Sahib Har Bhajan Singh Khalsa Siri Yogiji, Siri Singh, God knows what. I have never forgotten, God has made me a human, never, for a moment. And I have never forgotten, God made me a human. And I never misunderstand He could have made a donkey. And He could have made me a snake. And I never forget the God made me a wise man and I would have been very grateful, if He made me a foolish man, then I don't have to exert myself, you understand what I mean? So in wisdom, in equality, in ecstasy of consciousness, you have to understand God made you for a purpose. Please learn to deliver that purpose, not your ego. That's the secret.
尽管我是他的圣洁,Bhai Sahib Har Bhajan Singh Khalsa Siri Yogiji,Siri Singh,天知道还有什么头衔。我从来没有忘记,神把我造成了一个人,哪怕一刻都没有。我从来没有忘记,神把我造成了一个人。我也从不误解——祂本可以把我造成一头驴。祂本可以把我造成一条蛇。我从不忘记神把我造成一个有智慧的人;如果祂把我造成一个愚笨的人,我会非常感激,那我就不用这么费劲了,你明白我的意思吗?所以,在智慧中,在平等中,在意识的狂喜中,你必须明白神造你是有目的的。请学会去交付那个目的,而不是你的小我。这就是秘密。
We take that oath I am not a woman, I am not a man, I am not a person, I am not myself, I am a teacher, that oath exactly means, that you are a man and a man and you are man not in a man, you are a purpose in a man and you deliver that purpose. Those people who will make life just proposals and do not serve the purpose and do not deliver, are always destroyed in with pain and their own self caused agony. Life is a gift it comes fast, it goes fast. And in this life, there is only one difference, you live by one breath, comes in, doesn't come in, you are gone. And you live by one word, one wrong word slipped over your mouth, can make a difference, which you can never wash away again. There are two things, which will decide you always, what you have spoken, the power of the spoken word and gift of the breath of life. We will discuss next class, thank you very much, good night and have a very blissful night. And I expect you to get up tomorrow at ambrosial hour, if you can't enjoy your quilt. Hey Dev Murthy...
我们发那个誓:我不是女人,我不是男人,我不是一个人,我不是我自己,我是一名老师。那个誓的意思正是:你是一个人,又是另一个人,你在一个人身中不是为了做人,你是一个目的在一个人身中,你去交付那个目的。那些只把人生变成空头提议、不去服务于目的、不去交付的人,总是会毁灭在痛苦和自己造成的煎熬里。生命是一份礼物,它来得快,去得也快。而在这个生命里,只有一个差别,你靠一口气活着,进来了,没进来,你就走了。你靠一个字活着,一个说错的字从你嘴里滑出去,就可能造成一个你再也洗不掉的差别。有两样东西永远会决定你:你说过的话,言语的力量,和生命之息这份礼物。我们下一堂课讨论,非常感谢,晚安,愿你有一个非常极乐的夜晚。我希望你们明天在甘露时刻起床,如果你不能享受你的被子的话。嘿,Dev Murthy……

Student: They called us freaks when we first began another strange cult from a foreign land, another generation gone astray, more pan handlers to get in the way. After Woodstock, things began to fall, what we thought was truth, what we thought wasn't truth at all. And a great society, suction machine tried to destroy us and kill the dream. They sent us to war to keep the peace. They shot and beat us in the streets, they watched us die and felt no pain but now it's they who live in shame. There was a cry and there were songs, a pervasive sense of something wrong, the immoral (?) the cries for peace, total desperation seeking release. Sex, drugs and rock and roll cell by cell, took their toll. Dazed and confused and purple haze, smoke and needles our minds are crazed. Thousands of children on the run, beardless boys under the gun, corruption and betrayal at the top escalating madness that wouldn't stop our cries of anguish loud and shrill was heard by a Yogi, with an iron will, who walked at peace within that rage, a most humble patient, yet modern sage. To the city of the angels he came and Yogi Bhajan was his name. They were many angels in that town, with broken wings on the ground. Heal yourself, arise and stand on your own two feet, we take this land, have you forgotten, who you are, don't you see your raising star. He took those angels with the broken wings and thought them to fly, to breathe and sing and when they began to fly around, he made them move to another town, where we scattered, broken across this land, hiding with our heads in the sand but the patched up angels with fixed up wings, taught others to fly, to breathe and sing. In those early days before we grew, we were funky our numbers few, we were young and full of hope, slowly repairing the damage from dope, but many angels could now longer stand and fell again into the shipping sand. Yet many more could make the claim, I am broken, yet still, I remain. Well all it is left to the Woodstock nation, with the spirit and the foundation of the cusp of the Aquarian Age repaired by that patient, iron willed sage.
学生:我们刚开始的时候,他们叫我们怪胎,说这是从外国来的又一个奇怪的教派,又一代人误入歧途,又多了一群伸手讨饭的人挡在路上。伍德斯托克之后,事情开始崩塌,我们以为是真的,其实根本不是真的。一个庞大的社会,像抽水机一样要把我们毁掉,杀掉那个梦想。他们把我们送去打仗,说是为了维持和平。他们在街上朝我们开枪,打我们,看着我们死去却毫无痛感,可现在活在耻辱里的是他们。有过哭泣,也有过歌声,有一种到处弥漫的、觉得有什么不对的感觉,那不讲道德的(?),那些求和平的叫喊,彻底的绝望在寻求解脱。性、毒品和摇滚乐,一个细胞一个细胞地收走了代价。晕头转向,神志昏乱,紫色的迷雾,烟和针头让我们的心智发疯。成千上万的孩子在逃亡,没长胡子的男孩在枪口下,上层的腐败和背叛,不断升级的疯狂停不下来,我们痛苦而尖利的哭喊,被一位瑜伽士听见了,他意志如铁,在那片狂怒中安住于和平,一位最谦卑的病人,却是当代的智者。他来到天使之城,他的名字叫 Yogi Bhajan。那座城里有许多天使,翅膀折断了,躺在地上。疗愈你自己,起来,用你自己的两只脚站住,这片土地我们拿下了,你们忘了吗,你们是谁,你们看不见自己升起的星吗。他把那些翅膀折断的天使带走,教他们飞,教他们呼吸和歌唱,等他们开始四处飞翔,他让他们搬到另一座城,我们在那片土地上四散、破碎,把头埋进沙子里躲着,可那些补好了翅膀的天使,教别人飞,教别人呼吸和歌唱。在那些早期,我们还没长大,我们很土气,人很少,我们年轻,充满希望,慢慢修补毒品造成的损伤,可许多天使再也站不起来,又跌回那陷人的沙里。然而更多的人能够宣称,我破碎了,可我仍然在。这一切都留给了伍德斯托克那一代人,带着精神,带着根基,站在水瓶时代的起点上,被那位有耐心的、意志如铁的智者修补好了。
