A：Guruji, How do I keep my spirit high all the time?
問題:Guruji，如何保持整天都精力旺盛呢？
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Just remember why you are disturbed, it is because of small things and know that it will all be alright. So when you see all these things come and go, everything will be alright, then you say, ‘I am not going to be disturbed by this. I am bigger than this.’ Yes! Just that thought in the mind – I am bigger than this. Then the spirit is uplifted higher.
古儒吉:
記住你為什麼會感到不安，這些都是小事情,並明白這一切都會好轉的。所以，當你看到所有的事情來來去去，一切都會變好的，然後你就會說：我不會因為這些小事情而感到不安。我比這些事情來的大(重要)多了。是啊！只要記住這個念頭— 我比這些更重要。然後，就會提昇變得精力旺盛。
So I am not the body; body is undergoing so many changes all the time. Sometimes I feel tired, sometimes I feel strong. I am much bigger than the body. People think mind is inside the body, this is wrong, body is inside the mind.
因此, 我不等於這個身體；一直以來身體正在經歷這麼多的變化。有時我感到累了，有時我感到強壯。我比身體大得多了。一般人認為心智是藏在身體裡面，這是不對的，而是身體藏在心智裡面。
The mind is like a candle, there is a wick and there is flame above the wick. If you close the candle with a lid, it will burn only as long as there is oxygen. In the same way, if you put somebody in the room and close it, they will be alive only till oxygen is there in the room. So the mind is like the glow that lives on oxygen, on consciousness. So first there is the body and then there is the mind, so the mind is much bigger. When you remember this, that the mind is like a flame, it is much bigger then there is peace. Still if something bothers you then breathe (Sudarshan Kriya). With fast breathing and Bhastrika, it becomes better.
心智就像一支蠟燭，有燈芯，燈芯上頭有火焰。如果您把蠟燭蓋起來燃燒，只要有氧氣，它就會燃燒。相同的方式，如果你把人放在房間裡然後關起來，他們仍會活著，直到房間裡沒有氧氣。所以心智對生命而言就像是在氧氣裡面，意識裡面的光芒。所以首先有身體，然後有心智，所以我們的心智是大得多了。你要記住這一點，當你的心智像火焰，而且是更大，如此就會存在著安詳。如果你仍覺得困擾不安，那麼你就深呼吸 (淨化呼吸(Sudarshan Kriya).。做快速的呼吸和巴式呼吸(Bhastrika-風箱式呼吸法)，它就會變好。
