Isha：生命应当与宇宙融合

First of all, what is yoga? Well, right now unfortunately, even in this country,where it all began,people's idea of yoga is actually a  rebound from the American coast.They think yoga means twisting yourself into various postures, impossible postures,that you should look like a leftover noodle. No, I want you to understand what yoga means.Yoga means union.Union means...see, right now you're here, even you are breathing?Your friend also breathing? You think so? Okay.Of course, you're eating food, drinking water.There are many other levels of transactions,but at least these very physical things you understand without this transaction, you cannot exist, isn't it so? Hello?

首先，什么是瑜伽？现在很不幸地，即使是在印度这个国家，瑜伽起始的地方。人们所想的瑜伽其实是个从美国对岸回流返来的概念，他们认为瑜伽是指将自己扭曲成各种不可能的姿势，让你看起来像一条剩下的面条。不，我想你明白瑜伽意味着什么？瑜伽的意味着融合，融合的意思是···看，现在你在这里，你也正在呼吸，你的朋友也在呼吸吗？你觉得是吗？好的。当然，你也会进食，喝水，有着许多层面的交换。但至少这些非常物理性的东西，你明白没有这些交换的话，你不能存在，不是吗？Hello？

Yoga means you consciously obliterate the boundaries of your individuality because if you do not consciously  obliterate the boundaries of your individuality,then unknowingly your life is you versus the universe.

瑜伽意味着你有意识地消除你个体的界限，因为如果你不去有意识地消除你个体性的边界，那么你的生命在不知不觉间就是你和宇宙间的对立。

So this longing to become… to break the boundaries,if it finds very physical basic expression,  we call this sexuality.If it finds emotional expression, we call this a love affair.If it finds a mental expression, it gets labeled as ambition, conquest, or simply shopping.If it finds a conscious expression, we call it yoga.

因此，这种想成为···去打破界限的渴望。如果它找到肉体上的基本表达，我们称之为性。如果它找到情感上的表达，我们称它为爱情。如果它找到精神上的表达，它被标签为野心、征服或者纯粹是购物。如果它找到有意识的表达，我们称之为瑜伽。

So if you do a conscious obliteration of your boundaries,you understand you’re unnecessarily building a psychological structure where you’re feeling trapped.If you consciously obliterate this, this is called yoga.If you obliterated it physically, it's called sex.If you obliterated emotionally it's called love.If you try to obliterate it mentally, it's called achievement, conquest, ambition,fulfillment,victory, these kind of things.But all those things, how long do they last?Momentarily. Because it's unconscious.If you consciously obliterate the boundaries of your individuality,you can sit here like the universe –  with the same stability.

所以，如果你有意识地消除你的边界，你明白你在不必要地建构一个让你感到被困的心理结构。如果你有意识地去消除它，这叫瑜伽。如果你用在肉体上消除它，那叫性；如果你在情感上把它消除，这叫作爱；如果你试图在精神上把它消除这就叫作成就、征服、野心、满足、胜利···等等这类东西。但所有这些东西，它们会维持多久？只有一瞬间，因为那是无意识的。如果你有意识地消除个体性的边界，你可以如宇宙般坐在这里，以相同的稳定性。
