『还初』Runanubandha is the physical memory that you carry within you. This memory can be acquired due to blood relationships or sexual relationships. When it comes to sexual relationships, a woman’s body has much more memory. When it comes to genetic material, a man’s body has much more memory. Generally, over eighteen to twenty-one years of age, a woman’s body carries less physical memory than a man’s body. The main reason why nature has done this is because a woman has to bear a child from a man who is not genetically connected with her. For her to carry the child to term, it is very important that her genetic memory is less.
Runanubandha就是你在内在所携带的物理记忆。这个记忆可以通过血缘或者性关系而获得。就性关系而言，女性身体的记忆多得多。就遗传基因而言，男性身体的记忆多得多。总体而言，过了18-21岁，女性身体里所携带的物理记忆要少于男性。为什么自然是这样的——主要原因是，一个女人得从一个与她没有基因联系的男人那里孕育孩子。要让她怀胎十月，很重要的一点是她的基因记忆要少一些。
Many women can vouch for this – the moment you get pregnant, without knowing why, your emotions for your parents and other blood relatives will fade to some extent. At least in India, when you are pregnant, you go back to your mother to seek her support, for practical reasons. But the emotional connection will decrease dramatically. This is part of nature’s system to enable a mother to comfortably accommodate the genetic material of the child’s father within her system. Otherwise, if the mother’s body has too much memory of her own parentage, the unborn child, which carries different genetic material, will struggle.
很多女性都可以为此作证——一旦怀孕了，不知为何，你对父亲和其他有血缘关系的亲人的感情就会淡一些。在印度，如果你怀孕了，你会回到娘家去寻求母亲的支持，这是为了实际需要。但情感角度上的连结会变淡很多。这是大自然设计的一部分——让一个母亲能够轻松地将孩子父亲的基因容纳在自己的系统内。否则，如果一个准母亲的身体里有太多来自自身父母的记忆，这个未出生的孩子会因为携带太多不同的基因而挣扎。
It is just that even if you as much as hold someone’s hand, you develop runanubandha. This is why in India, people greet you with folded hands.
即使你只是去握另一个人的手，你都会沾上runanubandha。这就是为什么在印度，人们以双手合十表示问候。
Runanubandha cannot be equated with the genetic factors that are being transmitted from parent to child. It is a physical memory of where you came from – not necessarily in terms of color of your skin, shape of your nose, how you are built, and so on. It is just that even if you as much as hold someone’s hand, you develop runanubandha. This is why in India, people greet you with folded hands. They do not want to acquire runanubandha. The same applies for passing on certain substances, like salt, sesame seeds, or soil – people never take them from somebody else’s hands, to avoid developing runanubandha. Since this culture is essentially oriented towards liberation, this awareness and these sensitivities are there not to build bondage in life, but to keep it only to the extent that is absolutely necessary.
Runanubandha不可与父母传给孩子的基因等同。Runanubandha是你的物理记忆——不一定只是肤色、鼻子的形状、身体的构造等等。即使你只是去握另一个人的手，你都会沾上runanubandha。这就是为什么在印度，人们以双手合十表示问候。他们不想要runanubandha。同理，递盐、芝麻或者土这些也会带来runanubandha——所以人们绝不会从另一个人手中直接接过这些东西，就是为了避免产生runanubandha。由于这个文化本质上是以解脱为导向，这种觉知和敏感性不是为了建立束缚，而只是在绝对必要的范围内去践行。
The body remembers any kind of intimacy – not only with another physical body, but with any physical substance. Certain types of substances have more of an impact than others. You will see, if a yogi comes to sit somewhere, he will walk up and down, look here and there, feel different places, and then settle down in a particular place. Because they are sensitive to what is suitable for their system.
这个身体记得一切亲密举动——不仅是和另一个身体之间的，而且是和任何物质之间的。某一些物质相比之下影响更大。你会看到，如果一个瑜伽士过来，他会先到处走走，看看，感觉一下不同的地方，然后在某个地方安顿下来。因为他们对于什么适合自己的系统，是非常敏锐的。
You will only be conscious about these things if you are working in a certain way with your system. Otherwise, if every day you are eating all kinds of things that you have no control about; if you are travelling a lot, you cannot maintain all this. But generally, for long periods of time, people did not move anywhere. Even just two generations ago, most people would be born, live, and die in the same house. Today, you come in touch with many more people and substances, and it has become all-the-more relevant to be conscious of not developing too much runanubandha.
只有当你以某种方式对你的系统下功夫时，你才会对这些保持意识。不然，如果你无法控制你每天的饮食，或者如果你经常外出旅行，你也无法照顾到所有这些。但总体而言，很长一段时间，人们都尽量不搬去其它地方。即使只是两代人以前，大部分人都会在同一所房子里出生、生活，然后死去。今天，你所接触的人和事物要多得多，因此，如何保持意识，避免产生太多runanubandha就尤为重要。
Washing off Runanubandha
洗去runanubandha
There are certain festivals like Pongal or Bhogi that are about clearing up your mental baggage, your emotional baggage, and your runanubandha. At Linga Bhairavi, we are doing Klesha Nashana Kriya. You could consider it as a ritual fire wash, which you can make use of if a regular shower is not sufficient to get you clean. Klesha Nashana Kriya is a way of burning physical memories that you have picked up – not necessarily because of relationships. Just by coming in touch with people, situations, atmospheres, so many things, the body picks up memory.
有一些节日，像Pongal或者说Bhogi就是为了清除你的精神负担、情感负担，以及你的runanubandha。在Linga Bhairavi，我们做Klesha Nashana Kriya，你可以将它视为一种火浴仪式。如果平时的沐浴还不能让你得到足够净化的话，你可以利用这个仪式。Klesha Nashana Kriya是一种烧掉你所累积的物理记忆的方式，这些物理记忆不一定是因为关系而产生的，只是暴露于不同的人、环境、氛围中等等，身体就会获取记忆。

There is fire wash, and of course, water wash every day. At the time in my life when I was into a lot of sadhana, I would have somewhere between five and seven showers a day, because your system becomes so sensitive. For example, you sit on a particular cushion, and you are conscious what this cushion is doing to you, so you want to wash it off by at least letting water run over your body. I did not calculate that I must take a shower five or seven times a day – whenever I felt like it. Most yogis have bath at least twice a day, at the minimum. Usually, it is a dip in the river – you dip in flowing water so that you are washed clean.
有火浴，当然，每天还有水浴。早年我进行很多灵性练习时，我一天会洗澡5-7次，因为你的系统会变得非常敏感。比如，你坐在某一个垫子上，你能意识到这个垫子对你产生的影响，所以你会想要清洗掉这种影响，至少让水流过你的身体，来冲刷掉它。我不是在数一天要至少洗5-7次，我只是想洗就去洗。大多数瑜伽士一天至少洗两次，这是至少的。通常，都是到河里浸泡——在一条流动的河水中冲洗，这样会冲刷得更干净。
During certain seasons, like the shift of the Sun from the southern hemisphere to northern hemisphere, and again, from north to south, the winds are strong on the Indian subcontinent. One simple process is to go and stand in the wind so that you get a proper air wash. It will do wonders to you. Try this – when there is a strong breeze, just wear something loose and simply stand there for half an hour, with your eyes closed, being conscious of it. Turn both ways, so that the breeze flows over you from front and back. You will feel so much lighter and better.
在一些季节到来时，比如太阳从南半球到北半球，继而又从北到南，在这些转换期间，印度半岛的风比较强劲。一个简单的方法是，站在风中，来一次充分的“空气浴”。它会对你有神奇的效果。试试看——每当风比较强劲的时候，穿着宽松的衣服，然后站在那里半个小时，眼睛闭着，保持觉知。先正对着它，然后背对着它，这样风可以从你的正面和背面流过。你会感到轻盈舒服很多。
In the ashram, all the brahmacharis wash their clothes separately. This is because all of them are doing sadhana and everyone has their own specific characteristic – we do not want it all mixed up. Another way to prevent a mix-up is to coat the clothes with soil in every wash. Sadhus and sanyasis always use finely sieved red earth to dye their clothes. The clothes are originally white, but because they are constantly washed with filtered earth, they turn mud color.
在静修中心，所有的出家人都是分开洗衣服的。这是因为他们都在进行灵性修行，而每个人都有各自的特征，我们不想让他们都搅混在一起。还有一种避免搅混的方法是，每次洗衣服的时候，在衣服上面裹一层土。Sadhus（苦行者）和sanyasis（出家人）都是用红滤泥来染衣服。他们的衣服原本是白色的，但是因为他们一直用滤泥来洗衣服，就变得像土的颜色。
Similarly, the buildings in the ashram are painted with soil and a certain adhesive for it to stick like paint. Those who are doing intense sadhana must either wash separately, or coat your clothes with some soil material every time you wash them, so that the only runanubandha that you have is with the earth – not with people or things around you. Apart from that, if you wear clothes that are dipped in red earth, in some way, it is a reminder for the body as to where it comes from and where it will go. Another way of doing it is to have a mud bath, like we do at the Isha Rejuvenation Center. The idea of a mud bath is to clear everything.
类似的，修行中心的建筑都是用泥土来粉刷——用某种粘合剂让土可以像涂料一样粘在上面。那些正在进行高强度的灵性修行的人必须分开洗衣服，或者裹一层土在衣服上，这样你只是和土地产生runanubandha——而不是周围的人和物。除此之外，如果你穿的衣服是浸泡在红土里的，某种程度上，这也是对身体的一个提醒——它是从何而来，又将去往何处。还有另一种方式，就是来一次土浴，就像我们在Isha康复中心做的那样。土浴就是为了清除一切。
