Sadhguru talks about how hopelessness is not to be shunned. In fact, being con-sciously hopeless is the way to go beyond one’s psychological madness.
萨古鲁谈到不要去躲避无望。实际上，有意识地感到无望是超越一个人心理疯狂的方法。
Questioner: Namaskaram Sadhguru. My question is, is it okay to be hopelessly devoted to something even if your logical mind is saying that, "No. It's… nothing going to happen?" Is it okay to be hopelessly devoted to something? As you say, it is a very sweet thing to happen to somebody, if he is devoted, really devoted.
提问者：Namaskaram 萨古鲁。我的问题是，是否可以无可救药地奉爱于某件事情？尽管你的逻辑头脑在说：“不。这是……什么都不会发生？”是否可以无可救药地奉爱于某件事情？就像您说的。如果一个人能够奉爱，真正地奉爱，那对他来说是一件非常美好的事。
Sadhguru: To something? Chocolates? You are also (Laughter)?
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：奉爱于什么？巧克力？你也是吗（笑声）？
Questioner: Maybe to something or somebody or like anything.
提问者：也许是奉爱于某件事、某个人或任何东西。
Sadhguru: Okay, okay, okay (Laughs). Devotees… Right from ancient times, if you look at the more famous devotees – there've been many who're unheard-of – more famous devotees, if you take... You take Mirabai, you take the Nayanmars and many, many well-known devotees of today, whether Akka Mahadevi or many of them... Any number of well-known devotees, historically you know, they've made their name in history, even those – unheard-of ones, let's not talk about their life, it's different – within themselves, they were in a great space. But in their lives, they always attracted too much trouble – always; because as you're saying, "Hopelessly devoted (Laughs)." That's a very, very bad word – hopelessly devoted.
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：好的，好的，好的（笑）。奉爱者们……自古以来，如果你看那些更有名的奉爱者们——有很多是默默无闻的——看更著名的奉爱者们……你去看Mirabai，你去看Nayanmars，以及许多如今众所周知的奉爱者们，无论是Akka Mahadevi，还是其他很多人……历史上有很多著名的奉爱者们，他们在历史上留下了自己的名声，甚至是那些默默无闻的人，我们不去谈论他们的生命，那是不一样的。在他们内在，他们处于很美好的空间。但在他们的生命中，总是招惹了太多的麻烦——总是这样；因为正如你所说，“无可救药地奉爱” （笑）。那是个非常非常糟糕的词——无可救药地奉爱。
But hopelessness is a good thing. I know everybody is selling hope. That's a psychological game. You (Laughs)… You can experiment. I'm not talking about devotion to you, but let me talk about hopelessness (Laughs). Every day… One day suddenly if you feel it's hopeless, maybe you will feel depressed. Just every day, you see it's hopeless actually. What is the damn hope? Anyway, you're going to die. Where is the hope for you (Laughter)? It's a hopeless life. Come to terms with the hopelessness, you will see life is really wonderful without any hope. When there is no hope, there is no expectation. When there's no expectation, there's no disappointment. You just learn to enjoy.
但是没有希望是个好事。我知道每个人都在兜售希望。那是一种心理游戏。你（笑）……你可以实验一下。我不是在跟你说奉爱，但让我来谈谈无望（笑）。每一天……如果有一天你突然觉得无望了，可能你会感觉沮丧。但是每一天，你看到实际上它是无望的。这该死的希望是什么？无论如何，你会死去。对你来说希望在哪（笑声）？这是一个无望的人生。接受无望。你会发现不抱任何希望的生命真的棒极了。没有希望，就没有期待。没有期待，就没有失望。你只需学会享受。
Spring is happening. This is not like Europe or America – spring means all bright colors will glare in your face. No. Subtle things will happen on the tree. You have to look for it. Tch, like jewel it is sitting on the tree right now. You have to look for it, it'll not blast in your face; because this is tropical climate, it does things to you like that. You don't even know when it changed from winter to spring, tch, you know. It's not like in a cold country, where it's really cold and then sunlight came up and… Changes are dramatic there. Here it's subtle. You have to pay attention. If you are hopeless you would pay attention to everything. Goddamn hope gets you on a hallucinatory mode all the time. So, practice hopelessness; devotion, don't worry about it (Laughs). Hmm? Come to terms with hopelessness. Don't hope (Laughter).
春天来了。这里不像欧洲或者美国——春天意味着所有鲜艳的颜色会在你面前闪耀。不是的。树上会发生微妙的变化。你得仔细观察。啧。就像宝石一样，它现在正静静地待在树上。你得去寻找它，它不会扑面而来；因为这里是热带气候，它就是这样对待你的。你甚至不知道什么时候它从冬天变到春天，啧，你知道的。它不像在寒冷的国家，那里真的很冷，然后阳光出来了……那里的变化是戏剧性的。这里的变化很细微。你得留心观察。如果你是无望的，你就会关注一切。该死的希望总是让你处于幻觉状态。所以，练习无望；至于奉爱，别去管它（笑）。嗯？接受无望。不要抱有希望（笑声）。
You are looking very disappointed now (Laughter). Practice hopelessness conscious hopelessness. Really it's hopeless. You will see, you will be in a fine place in your life. Hope is a trick. It's a psychological trick. It's a bone in front of you, that you'll never catch (Laughs). If you put a contraption for a dog with a bone, it'll run for its lifetime – this is hope. Become hopeless. Where is the hope for you? Believe me. At the best thing that can happen to you is Isha Crematorium (Laughter). Otherwise, I don't know where you will die (Laughter). So, there's no hope. You think you will escape? You think you'll escape? No. So, no hope.
你现在看起来很失望（笑声）。练习无望有意识地感到无望。真的，是无望的。你会发现，你的生命会处于一个好的状态。希望是一种诡计。这是一种心理诡计。它是你面前那根你永远抓不到的骨头（笑）。如果你给狗放一个里面有骨头的装置，它会追逐一辈子——这就是希望。变得无望吧。你的希望在哪里？相信我。能发生在你身上最好的事就是Isha火葬场。（笑声）否则，我不知道你会死在哪。（笑声）所以，不存在希望。你觉得你能逃脱吗？你觉得你能逃脱吗？不。所以，没有希望。
Come to terms with your hopelessness. You will see you will become so beautiful. This goddamn hope is making you so unrealistic. All kinds of explosions in your mind which has got nothing to do with reality. If you become hopeless, you will simply do what you can do. What you can do, you will do. What you cannot do, you will not do. This is how life should be, isn't it? Whatever we can do must happen; what we cannot do, no problem about it. Hope is not like that. It's a madness which won't let you rest for a moment (Laughs). You can't close your eyes. When you're very hopeful, I will say Shoonya meditation (Gestures) (Laughter). Too much hope won't let you close your eyes (Laughter). Hopeless (Gestures) – no problem (Laughs). Practice hopelessness; don't worry about devotion, because what you're talking about is not devotion (Laughs).
接受你的无望。你会发现你会变得如此美好。这该死的希望让你变得那么不切实际。你脑海中的各种爆发与现实毫无关系。如果你变得无望，你只会做你能做的。你能做的，你就会去做。你不能做的，你就不会去做。生命就应该是这样，不是吗？我们能做的必须去做；我们做不到的，没问题。而希望不是那样的。它是一种疯狂，它不会让你有片刻的休息（笑）。你甚至无法闭上眼睛。当你满怀希望时，我会说Shoonya冥想（手势）（笑声）。太多希望让你没法闭上眼睛（笑声）。无望（手势）——没问题（笑）。练习无望；别去管奉爱。因为你在谈论的不是奉爱（笑）。
