.... Tonight we are going to talk about meditation. I have been four years in United States of America lecturing, teaching, talking, but I don't think with all the efforts I have put in people know what meditation is. Don't misunderstand me, I am a student myself and my total efforts. But we are trying to do little bit of it hopefully, it will work out somehow.

……今晚我们要谈的是冥想。我在美国四年了,讲课、教学、谈话,但我并不认为凭我投入的这些努力,人们就懂得什么是冥想了。别误会我,我自己也是个学生,我倾尽所有努力。但我们正在试着做一点点,但愿它能以某种方式奏效。

First of all, I have a got a reference library, we have got all the books, whenever they come out I buy them and stick them in. My idea is that all these books which have been written for the knowledge of people, has somebody defined something, (?) shocking, the answer is no. If you are a normal American you ask what is a meditation? I don't think anybody of you can answer and also some of you my people who have studied with me with all the (?) get the answer.

首先,我有一个参考书库,所有的书我们都有,只要一出版我就买来塞进去。我的想法是,所有这些为传授知识而写的书,有没有谁把什么东西定义清楚了?(?)令人震惊,答案是没有。如果你是个普通的美国人,你问什么是冥想?我不认为你们中有谁能答得上来,你们中有些跟我学习过的人,带着所有的(?)也答不上来。

what is a meditation? I don't think anybody of you can answer and also some of you my people who have studied with me with all the (?) get the answer.

什么是冥想?我不认为你们中有谁能答得上来,你们中有些跟我学习过的人,带着所有的(?)也答不上来。

My personal feeling with you is to share with you tonight the idea if we do not know a thing, we do not know the very definition of it, we do not know the pro, cons of it, we do not know the blueprint of it, and we start practicing it, there cannot be any worst mockery of the human (?) than that. Now the problem is the people who come here in this country to teach meditation they are basically totally insecure.

我个人想跟你们分享的是今晚这个想法:如果我们不懂一样东西,不懂它最根本的定义,不懂它的利与弊,不懂它的蓝图,就开始练它,那对人类(?)来说,没有比这更糟糕的嘲弄了。现在的问题是,来到这个国家教冥想的人,基本上都完全没有安全感。

They come from the east, someone has to sponsor them, somebody has to feed them, the land is new for them, there is no big money for them, they are away from their homes and families, so they slow down and after couple of years when they get established by that hassling of the time they forget what they came for. So we get in America another American teaching meditation. So this way it is so surprising you will be shocked to know about it, I have got about twenty books where it is written that yoga is from the word Yuj, Sanskrit word Yuj. All books write the same thing, copy to copy.

他们从东方来,得有人资助他们,得有人养活他们,这片土地对他们来说是陌生的,他们赚不到什么大钱,又远离家乡和亲人,于是他们就慢下来了,过个几年,等他们在与时间的周旋中站稳了脚跟,就忘了自己当初是来干什么的。于是我们在美国就得到了又一个教冥想的美国人。这样一来,真是令人惊讶,你知道了会震惊的,我有大约二十本书,里面都写着瑜伽来自 Yuj 这个词,梵文词 Yuj。所有的书都写同样的话,抄来抄去。

I have got about twenty books where it is written that yoga is from the word Yuj, Sanskrit word Yuj. All books write the same thing, copy to copy. And reality is the word yoga is drawn from the bible word yoke. But they just (?) to create a relationship.

我有大约二十本书,里面都写着瑜伽来自 Yuj 这个词,梵文词 Yuj。所有的书都写同样的话,抄来抄去。而事实是,yoga 这个词来自圣经里的词 yoke。可他们只是(?)想造出个关联来。

To communicate they have basically gone away from the total meaning of the basic word yoga. Now if the distortion can be to that extent what shall follow in the knowledge is one's own imagination. The word in Sanskrit is Yuj from which we get and draw the word Joga, J O G A, which straightaway means belong to, dependent on. A contact on which you depend on. Not union. The word yoga, Y O G A is drawn from the word yoke. Now I want to build this to you tonight and on this I will just go around.

要沟通,他们基本上已经偏离了 yoga 这个基本词的全部含义。如果扭曲能到那种程度,那么知识里接下来的一切就只是各人自己的想象了。这个词在梵文里是 Yuj,我们从中引出 Joga,J O G A,它的意思直接就是属于、依赖于。一种你依赖的接触。不是合一。yoga 这个词,Y O G A,是从 yoke 这个词来的。今晚我想把这一点讲给你们,然后我就围绕这个来讲。

"In the beginning there was a word, word was with God and word was God. "
