20210702 普尚吉说:“不是我在强调呼吸, 而是瑜伽基于呼吸。”

2021年6月10至13日,普尚吉为艾扬格大师的故乡百勒尔基金会开设公益网课,主题是“艾扬格瑜伽”,让我们分享其中的精彩片段。
这部分课程的主要来源是,
普尚吉的著作《呼吸之歌》(Pranayama)第四章的内容,
标题是:“呼吸的起源、基因和基本属性”
(The Source, Origin and Essential Nature of Breath)

精选内容

Let us find out in Trikonasana now,
if your breath is better doing than you doing it…
Associated breath is taking a lead-role,
so can you find out if you have better access,
steadiness, firmness on your physical body?

让我们在这个三角式里进行探寻,
是否你的呼吸比你做的更好…
整合性的呼吸正在担当领导的角色,
你能发现,
你是否达成了更好的体式?
身体上是否出现稳定、坚实?

Associated breath is more potent force 
to be doing various asanas.
So at some stage,
it should be breath-led dynamics,
the breath should be the captain of the team,
rather than your ‘ego’ and your‘I’-ness
——the captain of the team.
You have done that in the 20, 30,40, 50 years,
and you know that you miserably have failed.
So it is not a good captain;
not a good leader.

整合性的呼吸,
在做各类体式时都是更有潜能的力量,
所以在体式的某个阶段,
应该是呼吸引领的动态,
呼吸应该成为这个团队的队长,
而非你的“小我”
以及你的那个“我”去做队长,
你已经那么做了20、30、40、50年了,
而且你深知你搞砸了,很是沮丧,
所以那不是一个好队长;
      不是一个好领导。

You only have the same team,
but you only change the leadership
and you are giving it to breath,
and find out, 

how it is a different process;
how it is different potencies;
different actualizations;
different manifestations;

你自身只有这么一个团队,
但你只要更换领导权,
并且把它交给呼吸,
你就会发现,

那会是怎样不同的过程;
不同的潜力;
不同的达成;
不同的表现;

So if you want to know,
how breath is unique force in us,
it is something not ours,
but for us.
The mind is yours,
the body is yours,
breath is not yours.

所以如果你想知道
呼吸如何是我们内在一股独特的力量,
它是某种不属于我们的东西,
但又在为我们所用。
头脑是你的,
身体是你的,
但呼吸却不是你的。

So read that chapter 
in <18 Maha Kriyas of Yogasanas>,
“the Breathly Acts.”

–The breath is for you;
breath is not of you;
Body is of you; 
mind is of you;
Body is yours;
mind is yours;

所以去阅读《瑜伽体式十八行为》那本书
里的一章:“呼吸行为”

–呼吸是为了你;
呼吸不是你的;
但身体属于你;
 头脑属于你;
身体是你的;
头脑是你的;

So these are first your siblings,
If you are ‘I’, 
your body is your sibling,
mind is your sibling, 
because they had been born with you;
but breath is not your sibling.

身体/头脑首先是你的兄弟姐妹,
如果你即那个“我”,
那么你的身体就是你的兄弟姐妹,
头脑就是你的兄弟姐妹,
因为它们随着你一起出生,
但呼吸却不是你的兄弟姐妹。

Because 

breath comes from outside;
and goes outside;

因为

呼吸从外面而来;
还要回到外面去;

The body has genic background;
genealogical background;
karmic background;

Mind too has all that;
breath does not have.

身体有遗传性的背景;
家族性背景;
业力性背景;

头脑也有那些,
但呼吸却没有。

And we are all using the tools 
which are karmic shackles,
which has genealogical background;
         genic background;
         delimitations;
because of 

class;
caste;
gender;
creed;
race;
genealogy;
ancestral background;

they are all influencing you!

我们全都在运用着
相当于业力性手铐的这些“载体”,
这些“载体”有家族基因;
            有遗传基因;
            有各种界定;
它们之所以存在,也恰是因为这些界定:

阶级;
种姓;
性别;
信仰;
种族;
家族;
祖传;

它们全都在影响着你!

You may not like your ancestors,
but still they are in you;
they are really material in you,
they are material aspect in you.

你也许不喜欢你的祖先,
但他们依然在你的里面;
他们真真切切地存在于你的里面,
他们在你里面是真切存在的层面。

There is no way to escape,
there is no operation available,
like you have gas/hip/pelvic-‘ectomy’,
‘ectomy’ is to remove and throw away,
remove something from the body and throw away,

你无处可逃,
无手术可做,
不像你可以做个摘除胃/髋/骨盆的手术,
摘除术就是移除和扔掉你身体里的某个部位。

You cannot say
‘have my operation, 
and remove all the ancestral background from me’,
not possible;
‘remove the genic background from me’,
not possible.
There is no genic/genealogical-ectomy.

但你不能说:
“我要做个手术,
摘除掉我里面所有的祖传基因”,
那不可能;
“把基因从我里面切除掉”,
那不可能;
根本不存在遗传/祖传基因的摘除术。

Your body/mind material is made of all that,
therefore,
their delimitation,
their gravity,
their shackles are bound there,
you cannot break those shackles.

你的身体/头脑全都是那些基因组成的,
因此,
它们的界定,
它们的引力,
它们的镣铐
全都绑在那里,
你无法打破那些手铐锁链。

The breath does not have 
origin;
genic background;
genealogical background;
ancestral background;
karmic background;
呼吸却没有
身世;
基因;
家族;
祖传;
业力的背景;

It is independent force
which every time coming from outside and going back.

它是独立存在的力量,
它每次都从外而来,
并且还回到外面去。

Breath comes from nature,
      goes back to nature.
呼吸,来自于自然;
      回归于自然;

So it has no karmic background,
So Yog says, 
if karmas are shackles for you, 
why not use that instrument which has no karmic background?

所以它没有业力背景,
因此瑜伽说:
如果业力对你而言是手铐、锁链,
那为何不去使用毫无业力的载体?

That is why:
Yog is based on breath! 

那就是为何:
瑜伽是基于呼吸之上的!

So breath is an enormous entity in you,
it is not yours,
but 
it is for you…

所以呼吸是你里面一个了不起的存在体,
它不是你的,

它又为了你…

If something is yours,
you have to do a lot for it,
and then it becomes yours.

如果某件东西是你的,
你就必须为它做很多,
然后它才会变成你的。

If you don’t do anything for your people,
your people are not doing anything for you.
So for them to be your people,
obligations are there;
there are obligations for your parents, families,
first circle, 
second circle;
society,
first circle, 
second circle.

如果你不为你的人去做任何事,
你的人也不会为了你做任何事,
所以为了让他们成为你的人,
就要对他们付出、担责,
为了你的父母、家庭付出、担责,
第一层责任,
第二层责任;
社会责任,
第一层责任,
第二层责任。

But the breath is not at all anything out of it…
That is why: 
Yog is based on breath…

但这里面的东西,
呼吸什么都不是…
那就是为何:
瑜伽基于呼吸之上…

Don’t say that I stress on breath.
It is Yog Philosophy,
    Yog Technology,
because you have to identify

that breath has no delimitation,
no genic background,
no genealogical background,
no karmic background,
no shackles,
no class, creed, caste, gender, age.

不要说我总强调呼吸,
因为那是瑜伽的哲理,
那是瑜伽的技术。
因为,你必须认识到:
呼吸没有任何界定条件;
不讲任何遗传基因;
不讲任何家族背景;
不带任何业力轮回;
不被任何锁链束缚;

呼吸不分阶级;
信仰;
种姓;
性别;
年龄;

Breath has no age!

呼吸没有年龄!

Every new second is a new breath!

每一秒都是崭新的呼吸!

your body/mind gets aged,
your breath does not get aged.
It is every time fresh.

你的身体头脑会老,
但你的呼吸不会老,
它每次都是新鲜的。

Why are you all depending on the body 
which are growing old,
or which have grown old?
For some of you, 
the mind is already old,
or it will become old sooner or later…
How long will you be depending on it?

那你们为何全都依赖这个正在变老的身体上?
或许它都已经老了;
对于你们当中某些人而言,
头脑早已老去、或迟早会老…
你们还要在它上面依赖多久?

The breath is ageless!

但呼吸不老!

That is why 
Yog has enormous inquiry into: 
breath matter;
breath aspect;
breath facet;
substance of breath; 
property of breath;
potential of breath;
functions of breath;
activity process of breath;

那就是为何瑜伽对它有如此大的探求:
呼吸物质;
呼吸层面;
呼吸方面;
呼吸的物质;
呼吸的属性;
呼吸的职能;
呼吸动态的过程;
