Sadhguru speaks about what kundalini is, and looks at the process of Kundalini Yoga. He explores how this powerful spiritual process should be approached with utmost responsibility and reverence.
在這篇文章中，薩古魯解釋了何為昆達(dá)里尼以及昆達(dá)里尼瑜伽修習(xí)法，并闡述了人們應(yīng)該如何以最強(qiáng)的責(zé)任感和最深的敬意來對待這個(gè)強(qiáng)大的靈性練習(xí)。

Sadhguru
In the yogic culture, the snake is a symbolism for kundalini – the unmanifest energy within you. The nature of kundalini is such that when it is still, you do not even know it exists. Only when it moves, you realize there is so much power within you. Till it moves it is almost non-existent. Because of this, kundalini is symbolized as a snake because a coiled-up snake is so hard to see unless it moves. Similarly, you do not see this coiled-up energy unless it moves. If your kundalini is aroused, miraculous things that you cannot believe possible will happen with you. An unleashing of a completely new level of energy begins and your body and everything behaves in a completely different way.
在瑜伽文化中，蛇象征著昆達(dá)里尼——你內(nèi)在未開啟的能量。昆達(dá)里尼的本質(zhì)就是如此：在它靜止時(shí)，你甚至無法察覺到它的存在。只有在它流動(dòng)時(shí)，你才會(huì)覺察到自己的內(nèi)在蘊(yùn)含如此強(qiáng)大的能量。這種能量若不流動(dòng)，就幾乎如同不存在。正因如此，人們用蛇象征昆達(dá)里尼。你無法發(fā)現(xiàn)一條盤蜷的蛇，直到它游動(dòng)起來，同樣的，你無法察覺到這股能量，直到它在你體內(nèi)流動(dòng)。如果你的昆達(dá)里尼被喚醒，你身上會(huì)發(fā)生奇跡般的難以置信的事情。隨著這種全新層級的能量的釋放，你的身體、你的一切都會(huì)進(jìn)入一個(gè)全然不同的世界。
昆達(dá)里尼與感知力
Kundalini and perception
能量的提升也意味著感知力的提升。整個(gè)瑜伽體系的唯一目的就在于提高感知力。靈修在本質(zhì)上意味著提升你的感知力，因?yàn)槿藗冎荒芰宋蜃约核兄氖挛?。這也是為什么濕婆(Shiva) 有蛇作為象征，暗示他的能量已經(jīng)到達(dá)頂峰。他的能量已經(jīng)到頭頂，于是第三眼打開了。
昆達(dá)里尼和第三眼
Kundalini and the Third Eyes
The third eye does not mean someone’s forehead has cracked and something came out. It simply means another dimension of perception has opened up. The two eyes can see only that which is physical. If I just cover them with my hand, they cannot look beyond that. That is how limited they are. If the third eye has opened, it means another dimension of perception which is inward looking, which looks at life completely differently, has opened up and everything that can be perceived is perceived.
第三眼不是說一個(gè)人的前額裂開了縫，有什么東西從里面冒出來。它只是意味著你開啟了感知的新維度。人們的兩只肉眼只能看到物質(zhì)維度的事物。如果我用手遮住一個(gè)人的眼睛，那他就什么也看不到了。肉眼就是如此局限。你如果打開了第三眼，就意味著你向內(nèi)看的感知維度已打開，你可以以全然不同的方式看待生命，你會(huì)感知到一切可感知的事物。
昆達(dá)里尼瑜伽：請先做好準(zhǔn)備
Kundalini Yoga: Preparation first
Nowadays, a lot of books and yoga studios talk about Kundalini Yoga and its benefits, though they don’t know anything about it. Even to utter the word “kundalini” we always bring a sense of reverence and then utter the word because it is so enormous. If you have to activate the kundalini, the necessary preparation in your body, mind and emotion should happen, because if you pump energy into a system which is not ready for that kind of voltage or volume, things will fuse out. So many people have come to me who have lost their mental balance and physical capabilities because they tried to do Kundalini Yoga without the necessary guidance and assistance. If the necessary supportive atmosphere is not there, simply attempting to raise kundalini could be very irresponsible and dangerous.
如今，很多書和瑜伽館都在談?wù)摾ミ_(dá)里尼瑜伽以及修習(xí)它的好處，盡管他們對昆達(dá)里尼一無所知。我們甚至只是念及“昆達(dá)里尼”這四個(gè)字，都要帶著崇敬之心，因?yàn)樗侨绱藦?qiáng)大。你如果一定要練習(xí)昆達(dá)里尼，必須做好身體、頭腦和情緒三方面的準(zhǔn)備。就如同給一個(gè)系統(tǒng)通入電能，這個(gè)系統(tǒng)卻沒有準(zhǔn)備好接收電壓如此強(qiáng)或流量如此大的電，那么就會(huì)熔斷保險(xiǎn)絲。許多人在沒有接受必要的指導(dǎo)和幫助的情況下，試圖去練習(xí)昆達(dá)里尼，于是就有很多精神紊亂或身體失調(diào)的人過來找我。如果缺乏必要的利于練習(xí)昆達(dá)里尼的氛圍，卻試圖去喚醒它，這是十分不負(fù)責(zé)任和危險(xiǎn)的行為。
昆達(dá)里尼瑜伽：一種最危險(xiǎn)的瑜伽形式
Kundalini Yoga is the most dangerous form
Kundalini Yoga in its essence is the most dangerous form of yoga. I am saying dangerous because it is the most potent also. What is most potent is always the most dangerous if improperly handled. For example, there are various kinds of ways in which electricity is being produced. One of the ways we do it is through nuclear reactors. It is the most efficient way of producing energy that we know right now but it is also the most dangerous way, isn’t it? When things are going right, it is the easiest and best way to produce energy on the planet. When things go wrong, they go seriously wrong in ways that you can’t fix it. Similarly with Kundalini Yoga, it is the most potent and it is the most dangerous. Without the necessary preparation, without constant, expert guidance and observation, no one should ever attempt it. But the problem is books have been written about it and everybody wants to do the highest yoga. Nobody wants to start with “A”, everybody wants to start the alphabet with “Z”. This attitude itself is dangerous.
昆達(dá)里尼瑜伽本質(zhì)上是最危險(xiǎn)的一種瑜伽。我說它最危險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)樗彩亲顝?qiáng)大的。強(qiáng)大的東西，如果不妥當(dāng)處理，往往是最危險(xiǎn)的東西。舉例來說，有各種各樣產(chǎn)生電能的方式，其中一種就是利用核反應(yīng)堆發(fā)電。這是我們目前所知的最高效的發(fā)電方式，但也是最危險(xiǎn)的方式，不是嗎？如果不出問題，這是在地球上最簡單也是最好的產(chǎn)生電能的方式。一旦出意外，事情就會(huì)變得如此嚴(yán)重以至于人們無法解決。昆達(dá)里尼就像這樣，它是最強(qiáng)大也是最危險(xiǎn)的。如果沒有做好必要的準(zhǔn)備，沒有接受持續(xù)的指導(dǎo)和進(jìn)行專業(yè)的學(xué)習(xí)，那么，任何人都絕不應(yīng)該試圖嘗試它。但是，問題在于很多書里總提到昆達(dá)里尼，人們就會(huì)想要去做這種最高級的瑜伽。沒有人想從字母表基礎(chǔ)的“A”開始，人人都想從最后的“Z”開始。這種態(tài)度本身就是危險(xiǎn)的。
In classical yogic traditions, there is a certain type of yoga we teach for people who live in family situations. There is a certain other type of yoga we teach for ascetics. We never teach those in family situations the ascetic form. That is the most potent way to do it but it will demand a certain dimension of discipline and focus, which your regular lives will not allow. If you do that kind of yoga, it will dismantle your outside life instantly.
在古典瑜伽傳統(tǒng)里，我們有專門傳授給生活在家中的人的瑜伽，也有其他專門傳授給修習(xí)苦行的人的瑜伽。我們決不會(huì)將苦行僧修習(xí)的瑜伽傳授給生活在家中的人。苦行瑜伽是潛能最大的一種，但是要求你的自律性它需要訓(xùn)練強(qiáng)度和專注力都到達(dá)一定的維度，而這是你的在日常的生活不允許如此。你若修行這種瑜伽，會(huì)立刻讓你的日常生活土崩瓦解。
This doesn’t mean there is something wrong with Kundalini Yoga. It is a very fantastic process but it needs to be done properly because energy has no discretion of its own. You can make your life out of it or you can burn your life out of it. Electricity is making our life. But if you stick your little finger into it, you know what will happen! Energy has no discretion. How you use it is how it is. Kundalini is also like that. You are using it right now but in a minimal way. If you maximize it you can raise beyond your limitations of existence.
這不是說昆達(dá)里尼有什么不對的地方。昆達(dá)里尼的修習(xí)是很棒的，但是你要以正確的方式修習(xí)，因?yàn)槟芰孔陨硎菦]有辨別力秩序的。你可以利用它成就你的生命，也可能因?yàn)樗鼩У裟愕纳?。電改變了人類的生活，但是你也知道的，如果你把小拇指伸到插頭里會(huì)發(fā)生什么！能量自身是沒有辨別力秩序的，你怎樣用它，它就會(huì)成為怎樣。昆達(dá)里尼也是這樣的，其實(shí)你現(xiàn)在也在運(yùn)用它，不過是以最小程度。你如果最大化地運(yùn)用它，就可以喚醒超越你的存在限制的能量。
昆達(dá)里尼瑜伽：打破限制的科學(xué)
Kundalini Yoga: The science of breaking limitations
All yoga in one way is towards that but Kundalini Yoga is particularly towards that. In fact, all life is towards that. In some way, people want to experience life more intensely than they are experiencing it right now. Someone wants to sing, someone else wants to dance, someone wants to drink alcohol, someone else wants to pray – why are they doing all this? They want to experience life more intensely. Everyone is trying to raise their kundalini but they are doing it haphazardly. When you approach it scientifically with a proper method, we say it is yoga.
所有的瑜伽某種程度上都是為了在某種程度上都會(huì)超越限制，但是昆達(dá)里尼瑜伽尤其如此是專注于超越限制的瑜伽。事實(shí)上，所有的生命都是要在超越限制。在某種程度上，每個(gè)人都人們想要體驗(yàn)比起現(xiàn)在更加強(qiáng)烈刺激地去的體驗(yàn)生活。有的人唱歌，有的人跳舞，有的人喝酒，有的人禱告——他們?yōu)槭裁丛谧鲞@些事呢？因?yàn)樗麄兿胍鼜?qiáng)烈地感受生活。每個(gè)人都在試圖喚醒體內(nèi)的昆達(dá)里尼，然而卻是以盲目的、混亂隨意的方式。如果你以人們以合理適的方式去科學(xué)地完成昆達(dá)里尼的喚醒，則稱之為瑜伽。
