薩古魯：
坊間流傳著很多關於執著是不好的和我們為何不應該對任何事產生執著的說法，因為這些說法的教導和誤導，也因為人們的確在執著中感受到痛苦，人們因此有了更多的疑問與猶豫。
Sadhguru: So many things are being said about attachment being bad and how we should not get attached to anything. Because of these teachings and misunderstandings, and because of the pain that people go through with attachment, there are a lot of questions and hesitation within people.
這些關於放下以及無慾的教導源自對糾纏的恐懼。糾纏總是產生痛苦和折磨，所以有人給了這個愚蠢的解決方法—超脫。根據他們的說法，意味著生存的解法就是避免生存。想要避免生存，只有死去，很簡單。但活著卻一直想死—可是還沒死，真是酷刑啊！
These teachings of detachment and being desire-less have come because of the fear of entanglement. Entanglement always creates pain and suffering within a person. So, somebody gave this foolish solution – be detached. This means that according to them, the solution for life is to avoid life. If someone want to avoid life, they must die; it is very simple. But being alive here and wanting to die – and not dying, is a big torture.
假如你想活著，你需要參與。人們認為靈性意味著你必須離棄你的家庭。離棄他人並不會讓你變得有靈性。也許你還未完全察覺到這點，但在很多方面你的防禦機制和生存本能已慢慢地將你的執著轉移到意識形態、哲學、喜惡和情緒等，然後再發展出你身邊的事物。這才是真正的累積物、最大的執著—你的個性，這才是你需要拋棄的；不是你的妻子、孩子、銀行存款或其它東西。
If you want to live, you need involvement. People think spirituality means you should drop your family. By dropping someone, you will not become spiritual. You may not be fully aware of it, but in so many ways your defense mechanisms and survival techniques are slowly trying to shift your attachment to your ideologies, philosophies, likes, dislikes, and your emotions, which then grow to things around you. This is the real accumulation, the biggest attachment – your personality. And this is what you need to throw; not your wife, child, bank balance or something else.
當你年輕時，你追求肉體的自由，當你35或40歲時，你開始覺得，”喔～這真是太愚蠢了，重要的是我們之間的分享與情感交流。“當你再年長點，你可能會瞭解到感情太容易造成糾纏而不再喜歡這樣，於是你轉而執著於神。
When you are young, you seek physical freedom. When you become 35 or 40 years of age, you start saying, “Oh, that was foolish. Emotions and what we share between us is important.” As you get older, you will see these emotions are too entangling and you will not like that. You will want to shift your attachment to God.
你必須了解你最深的執著不是你的金錢、房屋、妻子或孩子，你最深的執著是你的思想與情感。你可能會覺得你的妻子、工作和孩子對你而言都很珍貴，但請看看，當你的妻子、孩子或你周遭情況都與你的想法、感受作對時，你會離棄他們。你不會離棄你的思考、感受方式，但你會離棄他人因為他們不再契合你的生活。他們能存在你的生命中僅是因為他們為了符合你的想法和感受而作了讓步。
It must be understood that your deepest sense of attachment is not to your money, house, wife or child. Your deepest sense of attachment is to your own thought and emotion. You may feel your wife, job and child are dear to you, but please see, when your wife, child or the situations around you really go against the way you think and feel, you will drop all of them. You will not drop your ways of thinking and feeling, but you will drop the other person because the other person has stopped fitting into your life. They are in your life only because they have made the compromise to agree with whatever you think and feel.
你只是將他人當作工具或使其變成受害者，那是因為你是如此深地執著在你的肉身才導致你執著於某人。假如你不執著於你的肉身，你可以全心地投入卻不附著於任何人事物。所以你並不需要處理你對你身旁的人的執著，你需要處理的是你對你肉身的執著，假如你將自己從這裡釋放出來，你就能從一切中解脫。
You are just using someone as a means or as a victim. It is because you are deeply attached to your body that you get attached to somebody. If you are not attached to your own body, you can be deeply involved but unattached. So, you do not have to work on your attachments with people around you. You really need to work with your attachment to your own body. If you release yourself from this, you are free from everything.
那些說“不要執著’的教導不會起作用，除非你內在清楚地體驗到“這個身體不是我“，否則你無法變得不執著於肉身。
Teachings that say “Do not get attached” are not going to work. Unless experientially it is clearly within you that, “this body is not me”, there is no way you can become unattached from the body.
豬豬Indra!
Indra the Pig!
有一個很不錯的故事跟對肉身的執著有關。有一次，眾神之王Indra來到地球找樂子，他選擇化身為豬，因為就肉體享樂層面，投生為豬被公認是最好的。他幫自己找了一隻美麗的母豬，娶了她並和她生了一打小豬，隨著時間過去，他深陷其中並開始依戀於此。
There is a nice story about this. Once, Indra, the king of all gods, came to earth seeking pleasure. He chose the form of a pig because generally, in terms of physical pleasure the form of a pig is considered best. He found himself a beautiful female pig, married her and produced dozens of piglets with her. Over time, he got very deeply involved and attached to them.
眾神在天上耐心地等著，認為這只不過是個短暫的找樂子之旅，但當Indra過了很久都沒回來時，他們下凡觀看了這個發展中的養豬大業。他們試著說服他放棄豬的生活並返回天上，但Indra是如此的深陷其中並執著於一切，他只是嘓了幾聲就走了。
The gods waited patiently in heaven thinking it was a short pleasure trip but when Indra did not return for a long time, they came down and saw this whole pig-business in progress. They tried to reason with him to give up the pig’s life and return to the heaven. But Indra was so deeply involved and attached to all this, he just grunted and left!
眾神決定殺死一隻小豬，希望這個悲劇能讓 Indra意識到他的真實本質並回歸天界。但，假設你有五個孩子，卻突然失去其中一個，你會用力地抓緊剩下的四個，依此類推，假如你再失去一個，你會更用力地抓緊剩下的三個，不是嗎？每當一隻小豬被殺死， Indra就會更用力地抓緊剩下的小豬，最後，眾神殺光了所有的小豬。
The gods then decided to kill one piglet hoping that the tragedy would make Indra realize his true nature and return. But, suppose you have five children, and you suddenly lose one, you will cling to the remaining four harder. That is the way. If you lose one more you cling to the remaining three even harder, isn’t it? For every piglet killed, Indra clung to the remaining ones harder. Eventually, the gods killed all the piglets.
但 Indra卻開始忙著生更多的孩子。最後，眾神認為Indra真正執著的是他的老婆，所以他們殺了她。現在他變得非常哀傷。但很快地，他的豬朋友和親戚建議他再娶一個老婆，接著整個養豬大業又捲土重來。
But Indra got busy producing more children. Then the gods thought that Indra’s real attachment was his wife so they killed her. Now he was greatly distressed. Soon, his pig friends and relatives suggested he take another wife. And the whole pig-business started again.
眾神現在不知道該怎麼辦才好。這時智慧的聖人Narada剛好經過目睹一切，說，“為什麼你們要殺死他的妻子和孩子呢？他執著的是他的身體，摧毀他的身體吧！”所以眾神將他的身體砍成兩半，然後Indra走了出來，說，“我到底是在這裡搞什麼啊？“然後就返回天界。
The gods were now completely at a loss with this and Narada, the wise sage who was passing by and happened to see all this said, “Why did you kill his wife and kids? His attachment is to his body. Destroy the body”. So, the gods cut his body into two halves and Indra came out and said, “What the hell am I doing here?” and returned to heaven.
身體對你的束縛是很深的，這是所有執著的來源。假如你能真的執著於另一個存在，那是很棒且美妙的，但當你執著於你的肉體，你將變得很狹隘侷限。所以你不需要到處尋找可以讓你不生執著的地方或在生活中特意與這個或那個保持距離，你只需要知道如何與你的身體保持距離。瑜伽是一門完整的科學、一項從肉身的累積中抽離獲得自由的工具和技術。
The bondage with the body is deep. That is the source of all attachments. If you can truly get attached to another being, it is wonderful and fantastic but when you get attached to your own body you become so limited. So, you do not have to go on searching for non-attachment somewhere else or distancing this and that in your life. You simply need to know how to distance yourself from your own body. Yoga is a whole complete science, a tool and technology to bring about this sense of separation and freedom from the accumulation of the body.
不論你喜歡與否，就你的呼吸、身體和存在而言，你都與整體深深地連結，無法分割。所以不用對連結產生抗拒，也不要聽從那些關於放下的教導，現在，因為那些”執著是不好”的教導，讓你很保留地參與生命，但自由不會到來，因為你將自己排除在整體外了。只有你將萬物包容成你的一部分時，自由才會來臨。假如你將萬物包容成你的一部分，你將失去個體意識，這就是瑜伽。
Whether you like it or not, in your breath, body and being, you are in an inseparable attachment with the whole. So do not hesitate about attachment; do not listen to all those teachings about detachment. Right now, with all these teachings that attachment is bad, you are hesitating to be involved. Freedom will not come because you make yourself exclusive. Freedom comes only by including everything as a part of yourself. If you include everything as a part of yourself, then you will have no identity left; that is yoga.
瑜伽意味著連結。當你與整個存在連結時，你就是處於瑜伽中。或，當你覺悟到你與整體存在的連結是無法被分離時，你亦察覺到自己無所不在、遍布宇宙。讓你的執著不分喜惡、不撿擇，這樣的執著將帶來極樂。當執著是選擇性的、有偏好的，只會導致痛苦。
Yoga means attachment. When you get attached to the whole Existence, you are in yoga. Or, when you realize how inseparably you are attached with the Existence, that is your Vishwaroopa – Universality. Let your attachment be indiscriminate; it will lead to bliss. It is selective, prejudiced attachment that causes pain.
只有全然且不加選擇地投入一切的人才能了知生命的美麗與偉大，這不但讓你與一切連結而且能消融你所創造出來的自我認同。
The beauty and the grandeur of life is known only to one who is indiscriminately and absolutely involved with all that is. This will not only make you attached to everything, but also dissolve the small self that you have created.
愛與恩典
