瑜伽八支分法之不欺骗 Yama : Satya (Truthfulness)

2010-11-15

　

        Before we discussed Ashtanga Yoga Yama’s first part Ahumsa(Non-Voilence) and now the second Yama is Satya (sut-ya) or truthfulness. This is far beyond not telling lies. Satya settles in the very core, the very essence of who we are as human beings. Before we can be truthful with anyone else, we must be honest and truthful with ourselves. This is definitely under the “hard to do” list. But if we have strong will power and we are confident then we can do it.
       之前，我们已经讨论过非暴力--阿斯汤加八支分第一部分Yama（内制）的内容。现在我们来讲讲Yama中的第二项Satya--不欺骗。这绝不局限于不说谎。Satya源自人类本质与核心。在我们向他人坦诚之前，必须学会诚实面对自我。毋庸置疑，这是“艰难任务”之一。但是，坚强的意志和自信可以让你做到这一点。

       To be truthful with yourself you must set aside the ego mind that works so diligently to control your thoughts and actions. How many times have you believed yourself when you said, “I have to do headstand or I’m not really doing yoga”? It’s not wrong to try and expand your practice and visit your edge time and again. You have to in order to grow. However, how you talk to yourself about the reason that is what Satya is all about.
        诚实面对自我，你必须抛弃自负的念头，因为它常常控制你的想法，影响你的行为。有多少次你真的相信自己，当你说，“我必须完成头倒立，不然我就不是在练瑜伽”？尝试拓展你的练习，探寻自己的极限，这没什么不对。但是，循序渐进。 Satya引导的是如何客观认识自己，而非武断。             

        If you’re not feeling well, don’t tell yourself you still need to do a regular, aggressive practice. If you know you have too many things on your plate to do today, don’t tell yourself you can do one more. If you didn’t get the answers you were looking for, don’t trick yourself into believing it doesn’t matter. All of these examples are forms of not practicing Satya.
        如果你状态不佳，就不要命令自己做挑战性的练习。如果今天你的日程表已经满满，就不要强迫自己再多做一件事。如果你没有得到问题的答案，不要欺骗自己接受“这无所谓”。诸如此类，就是Satya不欺骗的表现。

        The most wonderful gift you can give yourself is the truth. As your yoga practice continues, the growth and change will happen because you have the awareness to be honest with the decisions you make whether it’s more challenging postures, changing your eating habits, doing community work or just how you interact with those around you. Let your practice be adaptive and expressive to what you need. Practice Satya throughout your practice on and off the mat.
        给自己最美好的礼物莫过于诚实坦白。随着练习的进行，进步和改变会自然发生，不管是完成难度动作，改变饮食习惯，参加社区工作，还是与身边人更融洽的互动，这都是基于你诚实面对后所做的决定之上。让你的练习更适合自己，提现自己的需要。坚持不欺骗，不论瑜伽还是生活。
