萨古鲁：什么是好，什么是坏？

萨古鲁探讨了好与坏如何不是存在层面的现实，它是关于特定时代的特定社会的。他解释说最好的做出行为的方式不是基于道德，而是基于人性，力求为最多的人创造出好的结果。

Questioner: Most of the things that we can control ourselves, within ourselves, within our body we can control ourselves. Then inherently everyone of us would like to do good things in life. But why is that somebody does bad things and somebody does good things? Is there spiritually a solution to see that every one of us do good things but not bad things?

提问者：对大多数事情，我们能控制自己，在我们内在，在我们身体里，我们能控制自己。那么与生俱来，我们每个人都想在人生里做些好事。但为何有人做坏事，有人做好事呢？灵性上是否有一个解决方案，去确保我们每个人都做好事，而不是坏事呢？

Sadhguru: See, there are no bad things and good things. If you really look at it carefully, there are no bad things and good things; people perform actions, some actions produce miserable consequences, some produce wonderful consequences, that's all it is. Every human being is in pursuit of his happiness. In pursuit of your happiness, we are doing so many things on this planet. We think right now India is developing or the world is developing, whatever, but if you ask the insects - Indian insects I am talking about, they are also citizens of this nation, they think we’re doing the most horrible things to them. If you ask the birds, they will think we’re doing the most horrible things to them. If you ask any creature on this planet, they will all say we are the most miserable creatures on the planet. Yes or no? At the same time, most people around the world say they believe in God and all God’s creations are equal and this and that and all those, you know, you heard all these stuff.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：看，并没有什么好事和坏事。如果你真的仔细去看，并没有什么坏事和好事。人们做出各种行为，有些行为会造成悲惨的结果，有些则带来美好的结果，仅此而已。每个人都在追求自己的幸福。为了追求你的幸福，我们在这星球上做着许许多多的事情。我们认为现在印度正在发展，或者世界正在发展，不管是什么，但如果你问昆虫——我说的是印度的昆虫，它们也是这个国家的居民，它们会认为，我们正在对它们做最糟糕的事情。如果你问那些鸟儿，它们也会觉得我们正在对它们做最糟糕的事。如果你问地球上任何生物，它们都会说我们是地球上最不友好的生物。对不对？同时，这世上大多数人说他们相信上帝，上帝的一切造物皆平等，诸如此类的，你知道的，你听过所有这些东西。

Now what is the good thing? There is no such thing; everybody is in pursuit of their happiness. You must understand. Do you know what is the highest title for a man in Tamil Nadu in ancient times? What is the greatest man in Tamil culture means, “Aayiram Yanai Konnavan”, that means ‘one who has slain a thousand elephants is the greatest man’. Veerappan got half way there but we said he is a criminal and we shot him dead.

那么，什么是好事？没有这回事。每个人都在追求他们的幸福。你必须明白，你知道古时候在泰米尔纳德邦，人的最高头衔是什么吗？在泰米尔文化中，最伟大的人意味着‘Aayiram Yanai Konnavan’，意思是“杀了一千头大象的人是最伟大的人”。Veerappan已在半途，但我们说他是罪犯，击毙了他。（注：Veerappan是一名印度土匪、通缉犯，涉嫌参与偷猎大象等犯罪活动，偷猎大象数目超过500头。）

So what is good, is bad is only contextual for those times and those societies at a certain time, because good and bad is judged by what consequences it generates. It is not by the action. You people are cutting people’s bodies; this is like murder but with good intention. If the consequence is good it's called a surgery, if consequence is bad it's called a murder, isn't it? Same knife. Yes or no? With what intention and what consequence you create it.

所以什么是好，什么是坏，仅仅与那些时代和处于特定时代的社会有关，因为好坏是由它产生的结果判定的，而不是根据行为。你们切割人们的身体，这看起来像谋杀，却带着良好的意图。如果结果是好的，就称之为手术，如果结果是坏的，就称之为谋杀，不是吗？同一把刀，对不对？带着何种意图，以及你创造了什么结果。

So, you know about twenty percent of our time, resource and energy is spent in the prisons in South India and also in United States. People keep telling me, ‘Sadhguru, why are you spending so much time with these criminals? We are all waiting, we barely get to see you’ and all these stuff. I don’t see any criminals. All I see is, every human being is in pursuit of his happiness. The man whom you call as a criminal is also in pursuit of his happiness. Only thing is he is pursuing his happiness far more vigorously than you and you cannot blame him, he is also giving business to you.

因此，你知道，我们大约有20%的时间、资源和能量是用在南印度和美国的监狱中的。人们一直跟我说：“萨古鲁，为什么你花这么多时间与这些罪犯在一起？我们都在等待，我们几乎见不到你。”诸如此类的话。但我没看见任何罪犯，我所见的是，每个人都在追求他的幸福。你称之为罪犯的人，也是在追求他自己的幸福。只是他以比你们更为激烈的方式在追求他的幸福，而你不能责怪他，他也在给你们一些生意。

So it is the consequence of the action. That’s why I said, ‘If you function with your humanity, not fixing your actions but only looking for a consequence, that is best for everybody’ whatever is needed you will do and that’s how it should be, isn't it? So instead of fixing your actions as good and bad, if you operate out of your humanity, you are always looking for a good consequence for the maximum number of people. In that your actions will come out of your intelligence, not out of your morality.

所以，是行为的结果。这就是为什么我说，“如果你基于人性来运作，不固定你的行为，而只是寻求一个对所有人都最好的结果”，无论需要做什么，你都会去做，那就是它应有的样子，不是吗？所以别再把你的行为固定为好的和坏的，如果你基于你的人性来行事，你就总是在力求为最多的人创造出好的结果。如此，你的行为将出于你的智慧，而非你的道德。
