Fearlessness Through Awareness
无畏来自觉醒
The ancient wisdom literature of India teaches that all embodied beings, not only humans, share four common activities, namely – eating, sleeping, reproduction or mating, and fearing or defending. Of these four, the strongest force is fearing.
印度古代的智慧文献教导我们，不仅仅只有人类，所有具有肉身的生物，都有四种共同的活动，即吃，睡，生殖或交配，以及恐惧或防御，在这四种活动中，最强的驱力是恐惧。
At the same time, the unique feature of the human form of life is that we alone can become fearless! The yoga system is designed to progressively elevate human beings to the platform of awareness of our true self; the byproduct of this attainment is fearlessness.
同时，人类生命形式的独特之处在于，我们独自就能变得无所畏惧！瑜伽体系是为了将人类逐渐提升到觉悟真正自我的层面而设计的，这种成就的副产品就是无畏。
One of the triggers that provokes fear is uncertainty of the future. Something dangerous may unexpectedly happen. When that occurs, or even anticipating that such misfortune may occur in the near future, fear naturally arises.
引发恐惧的诱因之一是对未来的不确定性，危险的事情可能会意外地发生。当这种情况出现时，或者甚至预见到这种不幸可能会在不久的将来发生，恐惧自然就产生了。Fear and anxiety arise when we forget the nature of Reality.
当我们遗忘真相的本来（nature of Reality 实在的本质)时，恐惧和焦虑就出现了。
What is the antidote? Become aware that you are “Life” – a spark of life within, that exists beyond the temporary – rather than identifying with the details of today’s “life experience.”Awareness of the real self generates fearlessness as a byproduct.解药是什么？意识到你是“生命”——超越短暂之上的内在生命的火花，而不是去认同今天的“生命体验”的细节。意识到真正的自我会产生无所畏惧这一副产品。Another key to awareness is the popular saying “All Things Must Pass”, coined by one of the famous Beatles, George Harrison. Both good fortune and misfortune are temporary. When we become rooted in this understanding, awareness of who we really are is greatly enhanced.
另一个觉悟自我的关键是一句流行的说法：“一切必将逝去”——这由著名披头士乐队成员乔治哈里森所打造（他灌录了《All Things Must Pass》专辑）。好运和不幸都是暂时的，当我们根植于这种理解时，对我们真正是谁的觉知就会大大的增强。
Our attachment to temporary things causes pain within our minds. By changing our attachment from the temporary to that which is eternal, we free ourselves from unnecessary anguish.
我们对短暂事物的依恋会导致内心的痛苦。通过将我们对短暂事物的依恋转变为对永恒的依恋，我们将从不必要的痛苦中释放出来。
Everyone should find an awareness program that works for themselves; allot sufficient time and invest energy in your awareness program daily.
每个人都应找一个适合自己的自我觉悟程序；为你每天的觉醒计划分配充足的时间并且为之投入精力。
