Question:What is the role of scriptures for a spiritual seeker?
问：经文对于灵性修行者有什么作用？
Sadhguru:There is something called knowledge, which is an accumulated mass of memory, and there is something called knowing, which is sheer perception of life. Knowledge is just your conclusion about life. If you come to a conclusion about life from accumulated knowledge, it becomes prejudiced knowledge. It will not allow you to experience anything afresh. Nothing new will ever happen to you. Knowledge is useful for your survival process but it never liberates you.
Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：有一种东西叫知识，它是大量记忆的累积；有一种东西叫了悟，那是对生命纯粹的感知。知识只是你对生命下的结论。如果你从累积的知识中总结生命，它就成为了一种带偏见的知识。它不会让你以全新的视角去体验任何事物。在你身上不会发生任何新的事情。知识能让你生存，但是绝不能让你得到解脱。
With all due respect to the scriptures, it is accumulated knowledge...You are a book written by the creator himself. It is best to read this if you want to know about this life.
恕我直言，经文就是知识的累积......你是造物主亲自写的一本书。如果你想了解生命，那么最好就读读你自己。
Should you not take care of your survival? You definitely should, but when a little worm with a minuscule fraction of the brain you have, can survive pretty well on this planet, should you spend your whole life on survival when you have such a big brain? In the yogic systems, we look at the mind as having sixteen parts. They say just one of these sixteen parts is enough to be super-successful in the material world. The remaining fifteen should be focused on your inner wellbeing because that is a much vaster space than the material world. Even scientists today say that just four percent of the universe is creation, and the rest is dark matter and dark energy. So, four percent of your mind is enough but the ancient yogis were a little more generous. They gave you a little more than six percent to very successfully conduct your material life!
难道你不该照顾好自己的生存吗？当然应该。但是你看，一只小小的蠕虫，它的脑子只是你的几万分之一，就能在地球上生存得相当好了，你拥有如此巨大的一颗大脑，难道应该把一生都用在维持生计上吗？在瑜伽系统中，我们把头脑视为16个部分。他们说，这16个部分中的一个部分就足以让一个人在物质世界极其成功。剩余的15个部分应当用来关注你的内在幸福，因为比起物质世界，那是个广袤得多的空间。今天，甚至科学家也说宇宙的4%是造物，剩余的都是暗物质和暗能量。因此，你头脑的4%就很足够了，但是古代的瑜伽士们比较慷慨，他们给予你比6%还多一点的部分，让你能够非常成功地打理你的物质生活。
So, with all due respect to the scriptures, it is accumulated knowledge. If it was a book of engineering or literature or history, I would say read it. If it is a book of knowledge of the self, if you are here and alive, it is better to read this book that is yourself than to read some other book. You are a book written by the creator himself. It is best to read this if you want to know about this life. Whatever other books you take, even if they happened to be God’s own words, if it is written in some language obviously it was written by human beings. Human minds are given to enormous distortion. If you see something today with your own eyes and tell your neighbor, he goes and tells someone else. If it goes through twenty-five people in twenty-four hours and comes back to you, can you recognize that story? It is very obvious that human beings are capable of enormous distortion. When something has come down for thousands of years, you can imagine how much could have happened to it on the way.
所以，恕我直言，经文就是知识的累积。如果这是一本关于工程学，或者文学，或者历史的书，我会说，你可以读。如果这是一本关于了悟自己的书，而如果你就在这里，并且活着，那么，与其读其它书，不如去读你自己这本书吧。你是造物主亲自写的一本书。如果你想了解生命，那么最好就读读你自己。其它任何书——即便书中写的是上帝的话语——如果那书是用某种语言写下的，显然它就是人类写下的。人的头脑可以造成极大的扭曲。假如你把你今天用双眼看到的事情讲给你的邻居听，邻居又讲给其他人听。假如24小时之内那个故事经过了25个人再传回到你这里来，你还能辨别出那是你最初讲的故事吗？很明显，人类有能力极大地扭曲事实。那些千万年前流传下来的东西，你能想象这期间在它身上都发生了什么吗？
When the flood has come, what meaning does a tank full of water have? When the creator is throbbing within you every moment, you must look within.
当洪水来临时，一罐水有何意义？造物主每时每刻都在你的内在跳动时，你必须向内看。
If you want to know yourself, don’t read a book written by someone else. If you read about yourself in a book, you are not real, you are just a story. You need to look within. You must have the necessary instruments to turn around and look at this. I am not trying to trash everything that has ever been written but if you learn to go into the deeper dimensions of who you are, you will see, all scriptures will be stale.
如果你想了解你自己，不要去读别人写的书。如果你在一本书里去读你自己，书中的你不是真实的你，你只是一个故事而已。你需要看向你的内在，你必须拥有能向内的必要工具。我不是在否定所有书写下来的东西，但是如果你想学着走进你自己更深的维度中，你会发现，所有的经文都太过陈旧了。
When Krishna was giving the Gita to Arjuna, every time Krishna said something, Arjuna who received the best education in those days because he was a prince, would say, “But no. This scripture says something else.” He was referring to all the books he had read. Krishna laughed and said, “When the light has risen within a human being, all your scriptures are like a tank full of water when the flood has come.”
当Krishna（克里希那）把《薄伽梵歌》交给了Arjuna（阿诸那）时，每一次克里希那说什么，接受了那个年代最好教育的阿诸那都会说：“不过，这个经书里讲的不是这样的。”他在对照所有他读过的书。克里希那哈哈大笑说：“当一个人内在升起光时，你的所有经书就像是洪水来临时那个装满水的罐子一般。”
If you are living in a desert, a tank full of water may feel like an ocean to you. When the flood has come, what meaning does a tank full of water have? When the creator is throbbing within you every moment, you must look within.
如果你在沙漠中，一个装满水的罐子于你就如同一片海洋。当洪水来临时，一罐水有何意义？造物主每时每刻都在你的内在跳动时，你必须向内看。
