Sadhguru（萨古鲁）： 我们教授的哈他瑜伽并不是现在才有的，哈他瑜伽已经以这种形式存在了上千年了。在这一支脉中，没有人留下过自己的印记。

Speaker: I think what makes this program different and unique from any other program is that the asanas here are very much a live process. It’s a classical Hatha yoga and so I am noticing that everyday it’s something that’s living within you, that something that is growing. Something is evolving within you. All of the asanas, the postures are done with eyes closed and that makes the world of a difference. It’s not a performance anymore. It’s the fact that we close our eyes during most of the postures makes it so that, it’s much more of an inward process.

学员： 我觉得这个课程之所以跟其它课程比起来与众不同且独一无二，是因为这里教的体式在很大程度上是一个活生生的过程。这是古典的哈他瑜伽，我注意到每天它都是活在你内在的东西、一个在生长的东西、一个在进化的东西。所有的体式、所有的姿势都是闭着眼睛做的，这带来非常大的不同。这不再是单纯地做动作了，正是因为我们在大多数姿势中都闭着眼睛，所以这更是一个内在的过程。

Sadhguru: So what makes something classical is, one thing is the period of its existence which definitely all yoga has. In a specific form if it has existed for a period. And another thing for a language is that it must have a substantial body of literature, that is it is not just people are speaking it, many people have written many things about it, explored various dimensions of life using that language. There is a substantial body of literature and it has existed for a sufficient amount of time where you really can’t pin the exact date when it started.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）： 某个东西之所以会成为古典，一方面是由于其存在的时间，所有的瑜伽无疑都符合这一点，它已经以一种特定形式存在了一段时间了。另外，从语言方面来讲就是它必须有大量的文献，人们不光是说这门语言，还得有许多人用该语言写了许多东西，用这门语言探索了生命的各种维度。它的确有大量的文献并已经存在了一段足够长的时间，长到你无法确定它起源的确切时间。

The Hatha yoga, as we are teaching, this is not happening now. This is happened for millennia in this form because the significance of this lineage is. This is a lineage which clearly understands we are dumb idiots. When you know you are a dumb idiot, you will not try to change anything. That’s the significance of being stupid. Hello? When you think you’re stupid, you don’t think you’ll have to innovate, isn’t it? People who think they are smart, they always have to make something of their own. They have to leave a signature.

我们教授的哈他瑜伽并不是现在才有的，哈他瑜伽已经以这种形式存在了上千年了，因为这派瑜伽的要义在于，大家都清楚地知道自己是无知的蠢蛋。当你知道自己是无知的蠢蛋的时候，你就不会去尝试改变任何东西，这就是愚蠢的意义。对吗？当你觉着自己很蠢的时候，你就不觉着你自己必须要创新点什么，是不是？那些觉得自己很聪明的人，他们总是觉得必须创造点自己的东西，他们必须要留下点印记。

So this is a lineage where nobody left a signature on the yoga. I even feel within myself, I shouldn’t tell you this but now you asked I am telling you, I don’t feel right to even call it Isha classical Hatha yoga. Within me it’s not okay. Classical Hatha yoga that’s all it is. Isha is added because today’s world functions with brand and you must understand the brand of Isha has been built with blood and sweat.

所以在这一支脉里没有人在瑜伽上留下任何东西。甚至我在内心里——我不该告诉你这个，但既然你现在问了，我就告诉你——我连把它称之为Isha古典哈他瑜伽都觉着不合适。在我心里这是不可以的，叫古典哈他瑜伽就够了。之所以加上Isha是因为今天的世界要靠品牌才能运作，而且要知道Isha这个品牌是靠血汗才建立起来的。

Classical Hatha yoga, that’s all because no frills, no addition from us, just the way it was and its potential is limitless. Here it sits we can codify it in many ways. We can teach it to you. We can put it in the form of energy. We can make it so many ways. So in this context, yoga, the application of yoga is limitless. So it has a body and its age is also quite timeless, at least in human perspective. So that qualifies for classical Hatha yoga.

就是古典哈他瑜伽，因为没有来自我们的什么点缀和添加，就是它原来的样子，它的潜力是无穷的。它就在那里，我们可以用多种方式来呈现它，我们可以把它教授给你，我们可以用能量的方式表现它，我们可以用太多太多的方式来实现它。所以从这一意义上，瑜伽、瑜伽的应用是无限的，所以它有一个实体，而且它的年龄是永恒的，至少从人类的角度看是这样。因此它配得上被称作古典哈他瑜伽。

Speaker: It starts in a very traditional way like you know how the gurukuls in India. It’s like that. It’s not like a school or college or a university though it’s international. People from all over the world come here but still the sanctity of the process, the sacredness of the process and you know tradition in which it has to be taught, that is maintained and that’s what makes a whole lot of difference here.

学员： 它是以一种很传统的方式开始的，你知道在印度有古鲁古拉，就像那样子，它不是学校或学院或大学，虽然它很国际化。世界各地的人都来到这里，但过程依然很神圣、神圣，你知道要以传统的方式来教，这一点保留了下来，这使得它十分与众不同。
