Stop Worrying!

Gurudev: Suppose we live for 80 years. 40 years from that 80 years we spend sleeping, half the time. 8 years we spend in eating and drinking and all that. And same amount we spend in the bathrooms. 10 to 15 years we spend in working, and most of the time we spend worrying.
We worry about what? So when we have a bigger context to life, small things will stop bothering us and we'll be able to smile more, number one. Second, "C" is commitment in life. We all have commitments. We have smaller commitments; we have commitment to our children, we have commitment to our family, we have commitment to our job. But do we also have a larger commitment in life? For our planet, for bringing peace, for environment, of a greater cause. A larger commitment also will bring enormous satisfaction to our life. So, larger commitment, number two.
Third is compassion. And compassion not just for others, also to ourselves. Sometimes we are very compassionate to others and we are so hard on ourselves. So when I say here "compassion," we need to be compassionate on our own body as well. We strain our body, we don't give our body enough rest, we don't give enough rest to our digestive system. We keep stuffing in things all the time. I'm not talking about everybody—especially young people when they feel lonely, the only thing they know is to stuff more things. And then you keep putting on weight and then you have all sorts of problems—physical, mental, emotional. All these issues come up. So, compassion on ourselves and compassion to others.
These 3 Cs can help us to rise out of conflict, confusion.

停止担忧！

古儒吉 (Gurudev)： 假设我们活 80 年。在这 80 年中，我们有 40 年 在睡觉，占了一半的时间。8 年 用于饮食等杂事。在浴室里度过的时间也差不多。10 到 15 年 用于工作，而大部分时间我们都在 担忧。

我们在担忧什么呢？所以，当我们对生活有了更宏观的认知（context to life），小事就不会再困扰我们，我们就能笑得更多，这是第一点。第二，“C” 代表生活中的承诺（Commitment）。我们都有承诺。我们有较小的承诺；我们对孩子有承诺，对家庭有承诺，对工作有承诺。但我们在生活中是否也有更远大的承诺？为了我们的星球，为了带来和平，为了环境，或者为了更伟大的事业。更远大的承诺也会给我们的生活带来巨大的满足感。所以，更远大的承诺是第二点。

第三是 慈悲（Compassion）。慈悲不仅是对他人，也是对自己。有时我们对他人都很慈悲，对自己却很苛刻。所以当我在这里提到“慈悲”时，我们也需要对自己的身体慈悲。我们让身体过度劳累，不给身体足够的休息，不给我们的消化系统足够的休息。我们总是在不停地塞东西。我不是说所有人——尤其是年轻人感到孤独时，他们唯一知道的就是往肚子里塞更多东西。然后体重不断增加，接着就会出现各种问题——身体上的、心理上的、情绪上的。所有这些问题都会接踵而至。所以，对自己慈悲，也对他人慈悲。

这 3 个 C 可以帮助我们走出冲突和困惑。 http://t.cn/AXM9epAe
