1.Seeker: Sadhguru, as I walk this path I am becoming aware of the many fears and insecurities I have within me. How do I leave these behind and move ahead?
慕道者：萨古鲁，走在这条路上，我开始意识到自己内心的许多恐惧和不安全感。我如何才能把这些甩到身后，继续前行呢？
Sadhguru: You don't have to leave your fears and insecurities because they don't really exist. You keep creating them unconsciously. If you don't create them, they don't really exist. Why you create them and how to stop creating them, that's your question. The fundamental reason why fear has arisen in you is one way of looking at it is--in this vast existence of which you don't know the beginning or the end you're just a little human being. Being the small entity that you are right now, naturally fear is there. It's overwhelming; there is fear and insecurity about what will happen to you. 萨古鲁：不必丢掉你的恐惧和不安全感，因为它们并不真实存在。你一直在无意识地创造它们。如果不创造它们，它们就不存在。为什么要创造它们, 如何停止创造它们，这是你的问题。面对这个巨大的存在，你不知道她的起点与终点，你只是一个小小的人类，自然升起恐惧。——这种看待它的方式是恐惧发生在你身上的根本原因。你会无法抗拒，产生恐惧和不安全感。
As long as you're identified as a physical body, as long as your experience of life is limited to your physical and mental faculties, fear and insecurity are inevitable. It's just that different people may be at different levels of fear and insecurity. Today, if your life is happening well, you might have forgotten your insecurity. Tomorrow, if your life is turned upside down, you will be reminded because it's always within you. Only when a person begins to experience himself beyond the limitations of his physical body and mind, then this person can become free from insecurity and fear.
只要你认同自己是这个身体，只要你的生命体验局限于你的身体与心智，恐惧和不安全感是不可避免的。只是不同的人可能有不同程度的恐惧和不安全感。今天，如果你的生活进展顺利，你可能已经忘记了你的不安全感。明天，如果你的生活是颠倒的，你会被提醒，因为它总是在你的内心。只有一个人体验开始超越了身体和心灵界限，这个人才能摆脱不安全感和恐惧。
Experiencing yourself beyond the physical is what we're referring to as spiritual. When I say spiritual, don't think it is about going to a temple. Don't think it is about praying for this or that. If you look at your prayers, ninety-five per cent of the prayers in the world are all about either asking for something, fundamentally asking for protection, or for being taken care of. There's nothing spiritual about it; it is plain basic survival. In most people, the very basis of prayer is fear and insecurity. If prayer exists in your life as an act only, it is obscene, being reverential towards one aspect and not being so to everything else. If you become prayerful, that's wonderful, and if you're using an act of prayer towards becoming that quality, that's fine. Now if you're routing your survival through the heavens, that's very stupid: even worms and insects take care of their own survival. So when I say 'spiritual’, I am talking about you beginning to experience that which is not physical. Once this spiritual dimension is alive once you start experiencing yourself beyond the limitations of the physical and the mental, only then there's no such thing as fear. Fear is just the creation of an overactive and out-of control-mind.
超越肉体的体验是我们所说的灵性的。当我说灵性的时候，不要以为是去寺庙。不要以为是为了这个或那个祈祷。如果你看看你的祈祷，世界上 95%的祈祷要么是寻求一些东西(基本上都是寻求庇护)，要么是希望被照顾。这与灵性毫不相干，它是赤裸裸的基本生存。对在大多数人而言，祈祷的基础就是恐惧和不安全。如果祈祷只作为一种行为存在于你的生活中，那是污秽的，只对一个方面是虔诚的，对其他所有的都不会。如果你变得虔诚，那就太好了，如果你在用祈祷的方式来达到这种品质，那就好了。现在，如果你要通过追寻天堂来解决生存问题，那是非常愚蠢的：即使蠕虫和昆虫能解决它们自己的生存。所以当我说“灵性”的时候，我说的是你开始体验那非物质的东西。一旦这个维度鲜活起来，一旦你开始体验到自己超越生理和心理的部分，只有到这时，才没有恐惧。思想过度活跃并失去控制，恐惧就产生了。
