Building a Solid Stage for Your Life

为你的人生搭建坚实的舞台

Sadhguru: In life, the most important thing is that you are well. If you are not well, doing well is out of the question. What does “well” mean? Being physically healthy is important because only when you are healthy can you think of life beyond the body, and what you can do in the world and within yourself. If your health deteriorates, then your entire focus will be on the body. If your little finger gets smashed, can I talk to you about enlightenment? The only thing on your mind will be your little finger.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：在人生中，最重要的事情是，你是好的。如果你不好，成功就无从谈起。“好”是什么意思呢？保持身体健康很重要，因为只有当你健康时，你才能考虑超越身体的生活，以及你能在世上和自己内在做点什么。如果你的健康状况恶化，那么你所有注意力都会集中在身体上。如果你的小指受伤了，我还能跟你谈论开悟吗？你脑子里唯一的事情就是你的小指。

Once physical suffering manifests itself, it will not allow you to focus on anything else. The body will keep you busy for the rest of your life. Your body and mind are just platforms upon which you live. If they are the foundation of your life, it is okay. But if they become the very orientation of your life, you are lost.

在人生中，最重要的事情是，你是好的。如果你不好，成功就无从谈起。

一旦身体上的痛苦出现，它将不会允许你专注于其他任何事情。身体会让你在余生中一直忙忙碌碌。你的身体和头脑只是你生存的平台。如果它们是你生命的基础，那没问题。但如果它们成了你人生的方向，你就迷失了。

There is a stage to sit on, play on, and dance upon. But if you sink into this stage, it becomes your grave – a living coffin. So, it is important to keep the body and mind in such a way that they always serve as a firm stage for you, never letting you down.

你有一个可以在上面坐着、表演和起舞的舞台。但如果你陷入这个舞台，它就变成了你的坟墓—一个活着的棺材。所以，重要的是保持身体和头脑的状态，让它们作为坚实的舞台时刻服务于你，永远不拖你的后腿。

The Art of Peak Performance

巅峰表现的艺术

Keeping yourself physically and mentally at your best is essential for whatever you wish to do in your life. My concern is notwhat someone does but if they do it well. Otherwise, what is the point?

无论你想在人生中做些什么，保持身体和心理在最佳状态是至关重要的。我关心的不是某人做什么，而是他们是否做得好。否则，那有什么意义呢？

Someone just hitting a ball might seem like child’s play. But if they hit it so well that people say, “Wow, they are a cricketing god,” they can even become a Bharat Ratna. A few hundred years ago, no one would have believed that hitting a ball well could make you the most important person in the country or the world. It is all a question ofhow well you do it.

有人只是打个球，可能看起来像孩童游戏。但是如果他们打得足够好，以至于人们说“哇，他们是板球之神”，他们甚至可以成为Bharat Ratna（印度国宝勋章）。几百年前，没人会相信，打好一个球能让你成为这个国家或者世界上最重要的人。它完全取决于你做得有多好。

The question is not about what you choose to do but whether you have prepared yourself in such a way that your body, mind, and emotions do not become impediments in what you are doing. If your body is an impediment, where will you go? If your own thoughts and emotions are impediments, what will you do in your life? You do not need any trouble because you are enough trouble yourself.

问题不在于你选择做什么，而在于你是否已做好准备，让你的身体、头脑和情绪不会成为你做事的障碍。如果你的身体是个障碍，你能去哪儿呢？如果你的想法和情绪成为障碍，你在人生中能做什么呢？你不需要任何麻烦，因为你本身就是足够的麻烦了。

Be the Solution, Not the Problem

成为解决方案，而不是问题

The problem with most human beings is that they themselves are a big issue. This is why the real issues in the world have not been addressed – each individual is an industry of issues, constantly coming up with new problems. Only a small percentage of people are always looking for solutions to everything. Because of them, the world still functions.

大多数人的问题在于他们自己就是一个大问题。这就是为什么世界上真正的问题还没得到解决——每个人都是一个问题工厂，不停地制造新的问题。只有一小部分人总是在寻找一切的解决办法。因为有他们，世界仍然还在运转。

It is important that we increase that percentage of people who are always a solution wherever they go. Whatever the issue, they sort it out and do not become an issue themselves. The best thing you can do for everyone around you is to make sure that you are not a problem, regardless of the situation. A whole lot of people think being difficult will make them important. They simply make themselves difficult so that everyone has to pay attention.

一部分人不管走到哪儿，始终都是“解决方案”，增加这部分人的比例非常重要。不管是什么问题，他们都能解决，而他们自己不会成为问题。你能为你周围每个人做的最好的事情就是确保自己不成为问题，无论情况如何。很多人认为，做一个难以相处的人会让他们显得重要。他们只是让自己变得难以相处，这样每个人都不得不关注他们。

If you are driving a really good car, you do not have to think about the car because it is running well, and you enjoy driving it. If it is a troublesome car that stops every few minutes, you have to pay a lot of attention to the car. Do you want to get attention because you are constantly breaking down?

如果你驾驶着一辆很好的车，你不需要去担心车，因为它运行良好，你享受驾驶它。如果它是一辆问题不断的车，每隔几分钟就熄火，你就得花很多注意力在车上。你想因为不断出问题而获得关注吗？

A journalist once asked me, “Sadhguru, how would you like to be remembered after you are gone?” They seem to be planning for my departure. I am disappointing them a little bit. I replied, “I do not want to be remembered.” If I have been successful in what I am doing, people should be living so happily that they do not even think about me. That would mean I have done well. If they are thinking, “Oh no, Sadhguru is not here. What should we do?” then obviously, we have not done well.

有记者曾经问过我：“萨古鲁，您希望人们在您走后如何记住您？”他们似乎在为我的离去做计划。我有点让他们失望了。我回答：“我不想被人记住。”如果我在我做的事情上成功了，人们应该过得很幸福，以至于甚至想不起我来。那意味着我做得很好。如果他们想，“噢不，萨古鲁不在了，我们该怎么办？”那么很显然，我们没有做好。

Becoming the Unseen Hero

成为幕后英雄

Your existence should be such that everyone benefits from it, but no one even notices what you are doing. That is when you are truly free.

你的存在应该是让每个人都受益，但甚至没人注意到你在做什么。那时，你才是真正自由的。

To reach this state, everyone must do a little bit of work. Unfortunately, many people think that once they finish their education, the learning process is over. After that, they are getting dumber and dumber by the day. That is not the nature of life. If you are not constantly upgrading yourself, you will struggle when life demands an upgrade of activity.

要达到这种状态，每个人必须做点工作。不幸的是，很多人认为一旦完成学业，学习过程就结束了。从那以后，他们就日益变得越来越迟钝。这不是生命的本质。如果你不持续提升自己，在生活要求你升级活动时，你就会很挣扎。

Imagine a clerk in an office handling a single task. He always wanted to become a manager, and he eventually got promoted. Being a manager means having a ten-fold responsibility. Initially, he might have swaggered, but soon he is full of stress, anxiety, and tension. Why? Simply because he upgraded his activity without upgrading himself – and now he suffers.

想象一下，有个职员在办公室里处理单一任务。他一直想成为经理，终于，他得到了晋升。成为经理意味着承担十倍的责任。最初，他可能会趾高气昂，但很快他就会充满压力、焦虑和紧张。为什么？仅仅是因为他升级了自己的工作任务，却没有升级自己——现在他痛苦不堪。

If you constantly upgrade yourself, the world will offer you many opportunities. With capability, you will not need to search for activity; people will come to you. Instead of trying to upgrade your activities and surroundings, upgrade yourself. If you substantially upgrade yourself, everything you do will naturally be upgraded.

如果你不断提升自己，这个世界会给你许多机会。有了能力，你无需寻找事情做；人们会来找你。与其试图提升你的活动和环境，不如升级你自己。如果你充分提升自己，你所做的每一件事自然都会提升。

Lessons from the Fast Lane

来自快车道的启示

Once, I attended the Singapore F1 races. After the races concluded, I was in the Ferrari paddock when someone offered me to drive their sports sedan on the track. I accepted the offer, but after pushing it hard for one and a half laps, the car overheated, and we had to stop.

有一次，我去了新加坡F1赛。比赛结束后，我在法拉利围场里，当时有人邀请我在赛道上驾驶他们的运动型轿车。我接受了邀请，但是在全速跑了一圈半后，车过热了，我们不得不停下来。

The Ferrari team, having seen me drive, invited me to participate in a Ferrari cavalcade in Italy. They provided me with a factory Ferrari for five days. On the highway, the car reached speeds of 345 kilometers per hour, generally maintaining over 300. On mountain roads, we hit speeds of over 200 to 220 kilometers per hour, with the car remaining absolutely in control and demonstrating incredible power.

法拉利队看到我驾驶后，邀请我参加在意大利的法拉利车队活动。他们提供了一辆工厂法拉利让我开五天。在高速路上，这辆车时速达到了345公里，通常保持在300公里以上。在山路上，我们的时速也达到200-220公里，而车仍然完全可控，表现出令人难以置信的动力。

This reminded me of some incidents decades ago when the entire gearbox of my motorcycle broke while changing gears at high speeds in the mountains. In contrast, with this Ferrari, I could drive at over 200 kilometers per hour on slopes and shift down to second gear seamlessly.

这让我想起几十年前的一些事情，当时我在山间高速换挡时，我摩托车的整个变速箱都坏了。相比之下，开这辆法拉利时，我能以每小时200公里以上的速度在坡道上行驶，顺畅地向下换到二挡。

After this experience, I told the Ferrari technical managers, “This is absolutely fantastic. I have never driven a car like this in my life.” If you try to upgrade your performance without upgrading the machine, something will break. This is what you see in the world – so many people feel stressed or burned out because they have upgraded their activity without upgrading themselves. It is like taking a Maruti, which is a good car for commuting to your office, and trying to drive it on a Formula 1 track – it is not made for that.

这次经历后，我告诉法拉利技术经理，“这真是太棒了。我在人生中从没开过这样的车。”如果在没有升级机器的情况下，你试图提升自己的表现，有些东西会崩溃。这就是你在世界上看到的——许多人感受到压力或精疲力尽，因为他们升级了活动，却没有提升自己。这就像开着一辆适合日常通勤的Maruti去跑F1赛道——它就不是为此设计的。

The Truth of a Successful Life

成功人生的真谛

The most important thing in life is to constantly upgrade yourself as quickly as possible because without it, you will suffer even if success comes. Most successful people are suffering for this reason. This is why it is vital to keep upgrading yourself.

人生中最重要的事就是尽可能快地不断提升自己，因为不这样的话，即使成功来临，你也会痛苦。大多数成功人士因为这个原因遭受痛苦。这就是为什么不断提升自己是至关重要的。
