『还初』Sadhguru answers a series of question on whether someone can be dissolved at the moment of death, even if they were not at the point of liberation.
萨古鲁回答了一系列关于一个人在死亡时即使没有达到解脱，是否也能被消融的问题。
Q: Can you do anything at the moment of death to help someone who has not completely reached the point of liberation?
问：如果一个人在死亡时尚未完全达到解脱，你能做点什么帮助他吗？
Sadhguru: If someone has run their full course of prarabdha karma – which is not true for most people – we can help him die consciouslyrather than in an unconscious state because there is a conducive atmosphere. Dissolution is possible and he is liberated. When they die of disease before the prarabdha is complete, it is not going to work. All we can do is help him to die with awareness. Then he will have a little enhanced life somewhere else.
萨古鲁：如果一个人已经完全消化了定业（译者注：藏业（Sanchita karma）是指我们积累下来的总业力。定业（Prarabdha karm)是分配给此生的业力。）—这点对大多数人还达不到—我们会帮助他有觉知地而不是在无意识状态下死去，因为这时情形是有利的。消融是可能的，他可以得到解脱。如果一个人在定业完成前死于疾病，消融就不太可能了。我们能做的只是帮助他有觉知地死去。这样他可以在死后在其他地方过得好一些。为什么你会觉得如此宏大如此美妙的创造—还不够好呢？这是出于一种自保的本能。这种本能渗入了我们身体里的每个细胞。每条虫子、每只昆虫以及每种动物都有这种本能，人类也有。问题在于，我们不知道何处使用这种自保的本能，而是任由其扩散，于是你创造出了一个小我，这个小我永远都只会自我防护。
If one is approaching death because of a broken body, either because of injury or disease or whatever else, such a person we can help him to die in better awareness so that he has a little enhanced life elsewhere.
如果他因为受伤或疾病等因素导致身体残缺而接近死亡，我们可以帮助他带着更好的觉知死去，这样他死后在其他地方可以过得好一些。
When someone has run the full course of prarabdha, now everything is over. He is in a certain space where there is a karmic break. There are many people who may have lived as utter fools, but the final few days, suddenly there is a new sense of wisdom and awareness within them, because their karma allotment has finished. Just the minor things are left and the next quota of karma has not come in yet, so that is a blessed period.
当一个人完全消化了定业时，所有一切都结束了。他将处在业力间歇期。有很多人可能在世时活得像个彻头彻尾的傻瓜，但是在死前的一些日子，突然在他们内在有了新的智慧和觉知，因为派给他们的业力已经消完了。只剩下一点点小事情，而下一拨业力又还没派给他们，所以是个恩泽期。
Even for a person who lived an ignorant life, you will see that suddenly he knows, “In the next three days I will die.” Aged people, who are perfectly healthy, they will just know. We can dissolve such people very easily because they have come to that blessed state where there is no karmic bondage. There is a stock somewhere else, but here, there is a little space of no karma. No karma means no individuality. There is no substance for the individual process to happen. It has come to a point where you are almost like dissolving, because the next quota has not been released yet. The current quota is over and in that space, dissolution is very simple. If one has not reached that space, if one is approaching death because of a broken body, either because of injury or disease or whatever else, such a person we can help him to die in better awareness so that he has a little enhanced life elsewhere.
甚至对于一个一辈子活在无知中的人来说，你会发现他突然明白：“三天内我会死去。”上了年纪但依旧十分健康的人，他们就是知道。我们可以很容易地消融这类人，因为他们已经到了一种没有业力束缚的恩泽期。过去贮藏的业力还存在，但目前则处于无业力的小空档。无业力意味着没有个性。不存在使个性产生的物质。你已经到了几乎要消融的一个点，因为下一拨业力还没派发，而这一拨业力已经完成，在这个空档期，消融是很简单的。而如果一个人还没达到这个业力空档期，如果他因为受伤或疾病等因素导致身体残缺而接近死亡，我们可以帮助他带着更好的觉知死去，这样他死后在其他地方可以过得好一些。
Q: So Sadhguru, every time someone is born he just gets a pack of karma to work out in this lifetime?
问：那么，萨古鲁，每当一个人出生时就会派给他一部分业力让他在此生承担吗？
Sadhguru: The warehouse is there. One truckload has been taken out to be worked out now. The warehouse is always sitting there in your head. What we are doing with Samyama is, you are not going into the prarabdha. You are going into the sanchita aspect of your karma. You are opening up the warehouse. That’s the reason why, when a person walks the spiritual path, if they don’t handle the situation properly they will suffer much more than someone else because they are bringing up large volumes of it. Others are just handling what is allotted to them. You are trying to take up the whole portion – you want to get your Ph.D. today – so you are not going step-by-step. That is the reason why so much discipline was always brought into yogic practices, so that when things overwhelm you, you are able to handle that situation. Otherwise, if you open up things for which you are not ready, karma can just smother you completely.
萨古鲁：有一个存业力的货仓。一部分被取出来由你在此生承担。这个业力货仓一直是在你脑子里的。我们在山姆亚玛（Samyama）的课程上所做的是，你不仅承担定业，还要把更多藏业也释放出来。你是在打开业力货仓。这就是为什么一个走上灵修道路的人，如果处理不得当，会比其他人受更多的苦，因为大量的业力被带出来。其他人只是在面对派给他们的那部分业力。你是试图把所有贮藏的业力取出来—你想现在就拿到博士学位—所以你不是在循序渐进。在瑜伽练习中总有如此多的戒律，就是为了使你在被太多事情淹没时还能处理得当。否则，如果你尚未准备好就打开那些业力，它们会使你窒息。
Q: In many cases you have said to your disciples, “I can only show you the path. I cannot liberate you.” Does that mean you will not dissolve their karma?
问：很多时候你都会对你的弟子说：“我只能给你指明道路。我不能使你得到解脱。”这是不是意味着你不会消融他们的业力？
Sadhguru: I am not talking about death when I talk to you about these things. I am talking about your present life so that you can live this life fruitfully. Do not wait for me to pull the plug, living a stupid life until then. I am teaching you practices and asking you to take your life into your hands so that you live gracefully and sensibly. Take care of your own life, work towards realization so that you live an elevated life here.
萨古鲁：我在讲那些话时不是指的死亡。我是在讲你的现世，要让你充实地度过此生。不要等着我拔掉插头，而在那之前一直过着愚蠢的生活。我把练习教给你，让你把生命掌握在自己手中，从而优雅而明智地活着。照顾好自己的生活，向了悟的方向努力，从而在此生过得美好。
Sadhana is done so that you create a certain sense of awareness, and you are hastening the process of the dissolution of karma so that your prarabdha gets finished faster and faster.
做灵性练习（sadhana）可以使你创造某种觉知，加速业力的消融过程，从而可以越来越快地完成你的定业。
Those who have given themselves totally to me, even for a single moment, they do not have to worry about their liberation. Liberation is assured. To live gracefully or not, that is not assured. That is something that you have to earn. There is no other way.
那些把自己完全交付于我的人–在任何时候，你们都不必担心解脱的问题。解脱是保证的。但是能否优雅地活在世上，这点不能保证。这点你必须努力去实现。没有别的途径。
The reason why sadhana is done is that life is not 100% in your hands. Many people may not run their full prarabdha, either because of injury, accident, disease or for any reason. Most people die in hospitals today because they are not running their full prarabdha. How many people die every day, without any ill health, just out of old age? It is a small percentage.
之所以有灵性练习（sadhana）是因为生命不是100%地掌握在你手中。很多人可能由于受伤、意外和疾病等原因不能完成他们的定业。很多人如今死在医院，而没有完成他们的整个定业。每天有多少人只是因为年老体衰而非健康问题而死去呢？只有一小部分。
Sadhana is done so that you create a certain sense of awareness, and you are hastening the process of the dissolution of karma so that your prarabdha gets finished faster and faster. If you dissolve some aspects of your prarabdha – generally you are working towards the mental and emotional dimensions of your prarabdha – you can live in a blessed state for a longer period of your life. If you dissolve them, your physical prarabdha is still there, so you continue to live, but without the struggles of the mind and the emotions. That is a blessed state. When physical prarabdha is over, the body will drop itself. The possibility of liberation is so much higher.
做灵性练习（sadhana）可以使你创造某种觉知，加速业力的消融过程，从而可以越来越快地完成你的定业。如果你消融了你定业的某些方面—一般来说是头脑和情绪层面—你的恩泽期会更长。如果你消融了这些方面，你的身体定业还在，因而你还继续活着，但没有了头脑和情绪的困扰。那是一种受恩泽的状态。当身体定业完成时，身体会停止运作。这样获得解脱的可能性会高很多。
