《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
（109-116）
艾揚格箴言109：
The serenity in the body is the sign of spiritual tranquility. As long as you do not feel the serenity in the body, in each and every joint, there is no chance for emancipation.
身體平靜是精神安寧的顯現。如果你不能感覺到平靜在你的身體裡，在每一關節處，那就沒有機會獲得解脫。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言110：
Many people try to think their way into an asana, but you must instead feel your way into it through love and devotion. In this way, you work from your heart, not your brain, to create harmony.
很多人試圖通過思考進入體式，但是相反你必須通過愛與奉獻並感受進入體式。通過這種方法，你是用心而非用腦進入體式，以此創造和諧。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言111：
In asana and pranayama practice, we should have the impression we are working on the outer to get closer to the inner reality of our existence. This is true.
在體式與調息的練習中，我們應該有這種印象：我們修煉外層來接近我們身心存在的內層現實。的確如此。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言112：
It responds to the exercise of our willpower, so that an intense aspirant will receive higher benefits than a mild one. There is a saying that "God helps those who help themselves."This is also true of nature.
我們充滿意志力的練習會引發天地之心的回應，所以熱情的修行者比溫吞的收益更大。俗話說：「自助者天助。」自然亦如是。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言113：
When you do the asana correctly, the Self opens by itself; this is divine yoga. Here the Self is doing the asana, not the body or brain.
當你體式做正確時，自性自然展開；這是神性的瑜伽。這裏做瑜伽的是自性，而不是身體或者大腦。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言114：
The Self involves each and every pore of skin. It is when the rivers of the mind and the body get submerged in the sea of the core that the spiritual discipline commences.
自性包括肌膚的每一毛孔。此時身心之河匯入精神修煉的靈性之海。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言115：
There is no special spiritual discipline. When there is passivity, pensiveness, and tranquility of body and mind, do not stick, but proceed.Here the spiritual experience in yoga commences.
精神修煉並沒有特殊之處。但身心順應、沈靜和安寧，沒有執著，但持續精進。這樣瑜伽的精神體驗得以開始。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言116：
Asanas, when done with the right intention, will help to transform an individual by taking the person away from an awareness of just the body toward the consciousness of the soul.
體式，當以純正之心去做時，將幫助他焕然一新，引領他從僅僅是身體的意識走向靈魂的意識——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言117：
Indeed, as I often say, body is the bow, asana the arrow, and soul is the target.
的確如我常說的，身體為弓，體式為箭，靈性是靶心。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言118：
As asana must be righteous and virtuous. By righteous I mean that it must be true.You must not cheat or pretend.By virtuous I mean that it must be done with the right intention,not for ego or to impress but for the Self and to move closer to God.
一個體式必需正直和貞潔的。正直的意思是體式必須真實，不能欺騙或者偽裝。貞潔的意思是體式必須有正確目的，不是為了自我或者炫耀，而是為了本我和趨於上帝。——《艾揚格箴言》第二輯（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言119：
You must feel your intelligence, your awareness, and your consciousness in every inch of your body.
在身體的每一個地方你必須覺知你的智力、意識和覺悟。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言120：
You must fill every inch of your body with the asana from your chest and arms and legs to the tips of your fingers and toes so that the asana radiates from the core of your body and fills the entire diameter and circumference of your limbs.
體式必須充滿你身體的每一處，從胸腔、手臂和腿到手指尖和腳趾尖，於是體式從身體的核心擴展開來，遍佈身體內部和肢體的周圍。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言121：
It must not be your mind or even your body that is doing the asana. You must be in it. You must do the asana with your soul.
做體式不應該是你的思維，甚至不是你的身體。你必須融入其中，你必須以你的靈性來做體式。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言122：
How can you do an asana with your soul?We can only do it with the organ of the body that is closest to the soul--the heart.
如何以靈性來做體式呢？我們只能以離靈性最近的身體器官——心臟來做體式。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言123：
So a virtuous asana is done from the heart and not from the head. Then you are not just doing it, but you are in it.
因此一個貞潔的體式必須由心臟完成，而非由頭腦完成。那麼你不僅是在做這個體式，你還沈浸在這個體式之中。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言124：
So while you are sweating and aching, let your heart be light and let it fill your body with gladness.
所以當你在流汗和疼痛的時候，讓你的心放鬆下來，讓快樂充滿你的身體。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言125：
You are not only becoming free, but you are also being free. What is not be glad about? The pain is temporary. The freedom is permanent.
你不僅要變得自由，你本身也要成為自由。為什麼不快樂呢？疼痛是暫時的，自由是永遠的。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言126：
The young, the old, the extremely aged, even the sick and the infirm obtain in yoga by constant practice.
老弱病殘甚至耄耋之年都可以通過持續的練習在瑜伽中有所得。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言127：
Success will come to the person who practice. Success in yoga is not obtained by the mere reading of sacred texts.
成功屬於練習者。瑜伽的成功是不能僅靠閱讀神聖經典獲得。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言128：
These are increasingly essential aides but without practice remain simply theoretical.
這些經典越來越成為基本的助力，但沒有練習，經典僅具備理論意義。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言129：
Even Patanjali, who was born a spiritual genius, said that yoga is mastered only by long persistent nonstop practice, with zeal and determination.
甚至像帕坦伽利這樣生為靈性天才的人，也說瑜伽只有通過長期的持續的不間斷的練習，並伴隨著熱情與決心才能掌握。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）

艾揚格箴言132：
You must always animate and create interest in what you are doing.
你必須在你的習練中總是要充滿活力並創造出興趣。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言133：
The role of memory in asana practice is to allow us to compare yesterday's practice with today's so we can see if we are progressing in the right direction.
記憶的功能在體式練習中是讓我們比較昨天的練習與今天的不同，這樣我們可以確定我們是否在正確的方向上精進。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言134：
But many people repeat what they have learned in the past, and their presentation of asanas becomes mechanical, which causes the body and mind to stagnate.
但是很多人只是重複過去他們的所學，他們的體式表現變得機械，這會造成身體與心靈的淤滯。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言135：
An asana is not a posture that can ever be assumed mechanically. It involves thought and therefore innovation and improvisation, at the end of which a balance is achieved between movement and resistance.
一個體式不是可以機械性的擺樣子的姿勢，它包括思想、創新與即興發揮，最後在運動與阻力間獲得平衡。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言136：
Never repeat: A reception makes the mind dull.
千萬別重複：重複讓心智遲鈍。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）

当我问“和我昨天做的有什么不同？”那么就有进步了。我是进步了还是退步了？然后你就明白如何在静止的体式中创造活力。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言138：
Usually when a person has mastered an asana, it becomes uninteresting. That is why you can see many people mechanically doing the same thing over and over again, but their minds are elsewhere.
通常當一個人掌握了一個體式，就變得乏味。這是為什麼你看到很多人機械的重複的做同樣的事情，但他們心不在焉。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言139：
You must always see if you cross the line of past experiences.You have to create within yourself the feeling of beauty, liberation, and infinity. These can be experienced only in the present.
你必須時時檢查是否超越過去經驗的限度。你不得不在內心創造出美好、解脫和無限的感覺。這些僅能在當下經歷。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言140：
No longer do we employ the mirror of reflective intelligence to seek out and correct imperfections; we use it for the purpose of self-regarding vanity.The yogic journey is becalmed in the doldrums.
當我們不再使用反省的心智之鏡向外追尋和改正瑕疵，我們把瑜珈當作滿足利己主義的虛榮目的，這樣瑜珈之旅將駐足不前。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言141：
If there is no wind in our sails, the only way out is to row. This means to reapply ourselves to zealous, effortful, sustained practice, to lay down a new challenge.

艾揚格箴言144：
You must purge yourself before finding faults in others. When you see a mistake in somebody else, try to find if you are making the same mistake.
在發現別人錯誤之前必須要淨化自己。當你在其他人身上發現一個錯誤時，試著去發現你自己是否做出同樣的錯誤。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言145：
Mild practice is not bad practice, and it is better to sustain what we do than to collapse and give up.

我們都收到上帝賦予的才能，積極發揮這些才能並實現全部的潛能是我們的責任，否則就是唾棄生命的禮物。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）

同樣瑜珈的練習可以表明我們的身體能忍受多少痛苦，我們的精神能承擔多少憂傷。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言148:
Since pain is inevitable， asana is a laboratory in which we discover how to tolerate the pain that cannot be avoided and how to transform the pain that can.

如果你在動蕩不安的世界上能適應與平衡，你就能學會如何接受永無寧日的無常與差異。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言153:
We have already seen how one must create repose in the pose; one must create relaxation even as there is the right amount of tension.
我們已經明白在體式中必須創造安寧；甚至在壓力適當的時候我們必須進行放鬆。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）

為了獲得自由解脫，你必須要忍受痛苦。生活中亦如此。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言155:
t is about awareness, and awareness leads us to notice and understand both the pleasure and pain. So practice is not just about pleasurable sensations.

我們必須意識到疼痛的存在及其重要性，但我們也不要讚美疼痛。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言160:

正確的疼痛通常是逐漸的伸展與加強的感覺，它不同於錯誤的疼痛，通常是尖銳的，突然的警告性的感覺，我們的身體用此來告訴我們已經走得太於超出現有的能力。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言164:
There is always relaxation in the right position, even though you are fully stretching.
