打开你自己
求道者： 萨古鲁，曾有人告诉我：“坚持你的练习，因为古鲁触及你的方式就是通过你的练习。”这到底是什么意思？
萨古鲁： 不管这话是谁说的，或者是你听来的、甚至是你想象出来的——无论如何，它很有意义，让我们聊聊它。做练习和古鲁的触及有什么关系？
你所学的这个简单练习，有一点你肯定清楚看到了：它绝对会让你变得更加敏锐和可被触及（Available）。如果你的能量没有打开、没有处在可接收的状态，那么任何人都无法触及你，不仅是古鲁，连生命本身都无法触及你。因为当你的能量被卡住、被固定在某些模式中时——这些模式来自于你的生活方式、你的业力结构，以及许多其他因素——你会错过一切。所以，如果有人要触达你，你的系统必须足够开放（Open）。而要让你的生理和心理真正开放，你的能量系统必须处在某种程度的准备状态和开放状态之中。
所以，坚持练习绝对会让你变得更具接收性（Receptive）。否则，就像你的手机现在没电了，而我想给你打电话。我能怎么办？我会一直拨号，但你根本接不到。所以，最好保持你的手机有电！同样地，让你的系统保持“充电”和开放状态，它才能轻易地接收。
而且这也是你表达自己对所选道路之投入（Dedication）的一种简单方式。如果没有这份投入，就不会有真正的专注，也不会有真正的接收性。我希望你明白，生命的本质是这样的：只有你真正专注的东西（尤其是在能量层面；在头脑层面和身体层面也是如此，但能量层面尤为重要），只有你能量所朝向的那个方向，才会在你生命中发生。所以，练习就是一种将你的能量导向更高可能性的简单方式。
假如你的能量真正是开放的，你的古鲁，甚至Shiva，都必须触及你；他不得不这样做。假如你的能量已经真正变成了一份对神性的邀请，即便是神性也无法拒绝你，不可能拒绝。即使古鲁不想触达你，如果你的能量如此具有吸引力，他也不得不这么做。所以，你在练习中所做的一切，在某个维度上（还有其他维度，比如健康、幸福等等），就是你正在成为对神性的邀请。所以是的，这句话没错，坚持练习与你能在多大程度上可被触及确实息息相关。

Seeker: Sadhguru, I was once told, ‘Do your practices consistently because the way your guru can reach out to you is through your practices.’ What does that really mean?
Sadhguru: Now, whether it was said by somebody, or you just overheard it, or you just imagined it – whichever way, it’s relevant, so let’s talk about it. What has doing your practice got to do with guru reaching out? This simple practice that you have learned – one thing that you have clearly seen is that definitely it makes you much more sensitive and available. If your energies are not open and available, there is not much room for anybody reaching out to you, not just the guru. Even life cannot reach out to you, because you miss everything when your energies are stuck and in certain patterns, which have happened because of certain ways of living and certain karmic structures, and so many things. So, if anybody has to reach out to you, it’s important that you have an open enough system. And for your physiology and your psychology to be open, it’s very important that your energy system is in a certain level of preparedness and openness.
So doing the practices definitely makes you so much more receptive. Otherwise it’s like your cell phone is right now not charged, but I want to call you. What to do? I will go on dialing, but you won’t receive it. So it’s better to keep your cell phone charged! Similarly, it’s better to keep your system charged and open, so that it can easily receive.
And it is also one simple way of you expressing your dedication to the path that you have taken. If that is not there, then there is no focus and there is no receptivity again. I want you to understand, the nature of life is such that only what you are truly focused on (energy-wise especially; mind-wise, body-wise, also it is true, but especially energy-wise), whichever direction you are oriented towards, only that will happen to you. So the practices are a simple way of orienting your energy to a higher possibility.
If your energies are truly open, your guru – even Shiva – has to reach out; he cannot help it. If your energies have really become an invitation to the divine, even the divine cannot refuse you; it’s impossible. Even if the guru does not want to reach out, he cannot help it if your energies are so inviting. So all that you are doing with your practices, on one dimension – there are other dimensions of health, well-being, all that – is that you are becoming an invitation to the Divine. So yes, it’s very true; keeping your practices going has a lot to do with how much you are available.
