Isha編者按：薩古魯探討了為什麼在練習體式時保持沉默和專註是至關重要的。

Questioner:Why should we not speak when doing an asana or correct others while they are in an asana?

Sadhguru:An asana is a dynamic way of meditating. Because you cannot sit still, you do something else to become meditative. To take you back to the Yoga Sutras – Patanjali said sthiram sukham asanam. That which is absolutely stable and comfortable is an asana. This means your body is at ease, your mind is at ease, and your energy is vibrant and balanced. Asanas are a preparatory step to come to a state of being naturally meditative.

薩古魯：體式是一種動態冥想。因為你沒辦法靜止不動地坐著，所以你就做點別的讓自己進入冥想狀態。正如帕坦伽利（Patanjiali）在《瑜伽經》里所說，sthiram ukham asanam，那種絕對安穩和舒適的姿勢就是體式。這意味著你的身體是自在的，你的頭腦是自在的，而你的能量是活躍而平衡的。體式是一種為了讓你達到自然冥想狀態而進行的準備步驟。

In a way, asanas are a dynamic way of meditating. To think that when you are meditating, you can have a conversation is ridiculous. The same goes for asanas. Speaking triggers a number of changes in your system. You could check this yourself. First sit quietly and check your pulse rate. Then speak intensely and check your pulse rate – it will be very different. The pulse is just one example. Speaking not only changes the physiological parameters – even the energy parameters change dramatically. Above all, without focus, how to do an asana?

從某個方面來說，體式是一種動態冥想。認為冥想時還可與人交談是荒謬的。做體式時也是一樣。說話會觸發你系統的一系列變化。這點你可以自己來驗證。首先安靜的坐著，檢查你脈搏頻率。接著激烈的說話，再度檢查你的脈搏頻率——你會發現脈搏頻率會非常不同。脈搏的變化只是一個例子。說話不僅僅改變了生理參數——甚至能量參數也會發生巨大變化。首先，如果沒有專註，又何談進行體式呢？

Once, I was invited to speak in a yoga studio in the US. This lady is an Isha meditator and she had been a yoga teacher for many years. When I came to her yoga studio, music was playing, and she was in ardha matsyendrasana, talking non-stop into a microphone to the group. When I saw this, I wanted to leave, but she recognized me, said 「Hi,」 jumped up out of the asana, and came towards me. I took her aside and told her this is not the way to teach yoga because it brings serious imbalances to one』s system, and it turned out that she actually was suffering from them. She gave up teaching after some time, and these issues disappeared.

一次，我被美國某瑜伽工作室邀請去做演講。邀請我的這位女士是Isha瑜伽練習者並且做了多年的瑜伽老師。當我到達她的瑜伽中心時，我發現那裡正播放著音樂，而她一邊進行著ardha matsyendrasana（半脊柱扭動體式)一邊通過麥克風不停地解說。看見這場景後我馬上就想掉頭離開，但她認出我來，和我打招呼，停止了體式並跳起身向我走來。我將她拉到一旁對她說，不能這樣教瑜伽，因為它會給一個人的系統帶來嚴重失衡，而後來知道她確實如此。在一段時間後她停止了教課，而這些問題就都消失了。

There should be no talking while doing an asana, and no going into any asana whenever you feel like it. I have seen people doing some asana during a bathroom break, because they want the world to know that they are doing yoga. This is silly. If you are able to sit without the need to run to the bathroom, without the need to talk to anyone, without the need to drink anything – that is a good advertisement for you if you are doing yoga. You do not have to get into a posture to tell everyone that you are doing yoga.

在進行體式時不應該說話，或按你的喜好進入任何體式。我看到有人在中間廁所休息時間裡都不忘做個體式，因為他們想要全世界人都知道他們在做瑜伽。這很愚蠢。如果你做了瑜伽，能夠只是坐著，不再需要跑去洗手間，不再需要和任何人說話，也不再需要喝任何東西——這對你就是很好的宣傳。你並不需要擺出某種姿勢來告訴別人你在練習瑜伽。

As a rule, you never ever speak in postures because focus, breath, and what happens to your energy system are most important. And above all, asanas are a preliminary meditative state. You cannot talk in your meditation. If you speak while doing an asana, you will disturb the breath, the mental focus, and the stability of your energy system.

一個準則就是，在做體式時永遠都不要說話，因為專註力、呼吸以及能量系統的運行是非常重要的。根本的是，體式是一種初級冥想狀態。冥想時不能說話。如果你在做體式時說話，你的呼吸、精神集中力和能量系統的穩定性會大受干擾。

To the question of corrections – in a way, physically correcting someone would amount to using props. If the teacher makes the corrections clear, people should be able to consciously correct the asana. Otherwise, later, they will make the same mistakes again. Another aspect is, if they are already in a certain state and you try to physically correct the posture by touching them, you could cause damage.

關於糾正別人的問題——從某個方面來說，在身體上糾正別人等同於使用道具。如果老師將糾正說清楚，人們就應該能有意識地進行自我矯正。否則過後他們依舊會重複同樣的錯誤。另一方面，如果他們已經處於某一狀態而你試圖通過碰觸他們來從身體上進行姿勢矯正，你會造成傷害。

To give an example – just moving my finger involves so many things. My muscles, ligaments, skeletal system, mind, and energy have to work in a certain way. Suppose you hold my finger and move it, it is a completely different matter. So the teacher should tell you until you understand how it should be done, but you should make the effort to do the correction from within.

舉個例子——僅僅是移動我的手指也會牽涉到很多東西；我的肌肉、韌帶、骨骼系統、頭腦和能量必須要以某種方式運作。假設你握住我的手指移動它，那是完全不同的一回事。所以老師應該通過言語來告訴你，直至你了解應該如何做為止，但你應該努力從內在進行自我矯正。
