Spirituality is about losing yourself.

Sadhguru: The word “seek” tends to create a wrong notion in people’s minds. When we say “seek”, that means we are seeking to find. Seeking and finding are connected in language. But when it comes to spiritual process, they are not connected.

萨古鲁：“追寻”一词往往让人产生错误的概念。我们平时说到“追寻”，指的是设法去寻找。追寻和寻找在语言层面是相通的，然而论及灵性进程，则两者并无关联。

A seeker is not seeking to find anything – especially not anything in particular. He does not know, so he is seeking. This is one fundamental correction that needs to happen in most spiritual seekers.
一个追寻者并不是在试图寻找什么，更不是要去找到某种具体的事物。正因为不知道，所以他才在追寻。这是大部分灵性追寻者需要厘清的一个基本观念。

The idea or notion that you have to find the purpose of your life, or the source or the goal of your life has caused immense damage to spiritual seekers and set them up on an empty, endless run. Ignorant people have constantly goaded spiritual seekers to somehow find themselves.
觉得必须去找到人生的意义和目的，必须去发现生命的源头，这种想法或观念给灵性追寻者带来了极大的损害，让他们陷入漫无目的、永无休止的徒劳无功。那些愚昧无知的人，总在唆使灵性追寻者想方设法找到自己。

Maybe to start off on the path, you need a fruit to attract you because you only work with temptation – so something needs to be set up. But spirituality is not about finding yourself, it is about losing yourself. You are willing to lose everything that you call as “myself”.
也许刚踏上这条道路时，需要有个果子来吸引你，毕竟得有某个诱饵，对你而言才会起效。但是灵性并非关于找到你自己，而是关于放下你自己。你要自愿放下所有被你视为“自己”的一切。

If one can just sit and lose themselves into meditation, wonderful. If such a thing is not possible, play a game or dance and lose yourself into that. If you cannot do that, lose yourself into work. It doesn’t matter what, somehow learn to lose yourself.
如果一个人能在静坐冥想中达到忘我的状态，那太棒了。若尚且办不到，可以沉醉在游戏或舞蹈里，以此来忘掉自我。要是这样也不行，就专心致志工作，沉浸其中。无论用什么方式，想办法学着放下你自己。

If you try to find yourself, you will be on an endless run. A human being is constantly longing to be something more than what he is right now. If he knows only money, he is thinking of a little more money; if he knows power, a little more power; if he knows love, a little more love.
如果你试图去寻找自己，必将无功而返。人类总是渴望不断超越现在的自己。倘若一个人眼里只有钱，他惦记的就是更多金钱；若他深谙权力，牵挂的就是更多权力；若他了解爱，就想要再多一些爱。

There is something within him which will not settle for who he is. In whatever way you know best, you are trying to be a little more because there is something within you which does not like boundaries, which is looking for a boundless experience.
人内心深处一定不会满足于当下的自己。无论你最了解什么，总会试图想要再多一点，因为你的内在不喜欢限制，而是渴求无限的体验。

Just think about this: if you have to find the boundless, when and how long and where do you think you will find it?It will be an endless run. But you can lose yourself. That’s easy because you are a limited entity. If you completely lose yourself, everything that needs to be found is found.
试想一下：如果必须要找到无限，你认为自己在何时、何地，会花多久时间才能找到呢？这将是一场永无止尽的追寻。而你可以选择放下自我。这样比较容易，因为你只是一个有限的存在。如果你全然忘记自我，就能找到一切值得追寻之物。
