(For) Participant 1: Sadhguru, it is said that Adi Shankara entered the body of a king and inhabited it for a length of time. Is this actually possible? If so how? What kind of yogic mastery makes such a feat possible? 

Sadhguru，据说Adi Shankara进入了一个国王的身体并停留了一段时间。这是可能的吗？如果是，那是怎么做到的？要达到什么样的瑜伽境界才能掌握这种本领？


Sadhguru: It is not really such a feat. Adi Shankara got into an argument with a man. He won the argument. Then, that man's wife maneuvered herself into the argument, you know women (Laughter)? And, Adi Shankara is a certain level of logic. You shouldn't argue with a man like that.But she started… she negotiated herself into the argument, saying, “You defeated my husband, but he is not whole. We are two halves of the same thing. So you must also argue with me.” How can you beat this logic (Laughter)? So, arguments started with a woman. Then she saw she is losing. Then she started asking him questions about human sexuality.  

这其实不算什么本领。Adi Shankara陷入了一场和一个男人的争辩。他赢了。然后，那个男人的妻子想办法介入了其中，你懂的，女人们……Adi Shankara的逻辑是达到了一定层次的。你不应该和这样的人争论。但是她介入到了争辩之中，说：“你赢了我的丈夫，但他还不是全部，他只是一半，我是那另一半。所以你也必须和我角逐。”谁能打倒这个逻辑？所以，一场和女人的争辩开始了。后来，她发现她快输了。于是她开始问他有关性的问题。


Shankara said whatever he said. Then she went into more details and then she asked, “What do you know by experience?” Well, Shankara is a Brahmachari. Then he knew that this is a trick to defeat him. So he said, “I need a months’ break. We will hold the argument at this level. We’ll start from here after a month. Just give me a month.” So he went to a place where there was a cave. He went inside the cave and told his disciples, no matter what happens. Do not allow anybody into this cave because I'm going to leave my body and look for another possibility for some time. Whatever happens, don't let anybody enter this cave. Then it so happened, a king was bitten by a cobra and he died. When a man dies or even a woman when she dies… we have told you about the pancha pranas? If I go into this detail (Laughs) it’s a very technical question. Are you interested in all this?

Shankara说了他能说的。但是她继续紧咬不放：“那么凭经验你又知道什么？”你知道，Shankara是个出家人。现在他知道，她是想用这个伎俩打败他。所以他说：“我需要停一个月。我们的争辩就此先告一段落。一个月后我们再接着来。给我一个月。”然后他去到了一个洞穴。他走进洞穴，并告诉他的弟子：“不管发生什么事，不要让任何人进入这个洞穴，因为这段时间我要离开身体，去发掘另一种可能性。不管发生什么事，不要让任何人进入这个洞穴。”后来，刚好一个国王被眼镜蛇咬而身亡。当一个人死时……我有和你们提过pancha pranas吗？如果我再深入解释，这是一个非常技术性的问题。你们对这些都感兴趣吗？


Participants: Yes.



Sadhguru: Oh! Then we have told you about how the life energies manifest in five qualities. The prana is happening in five different dimensions. It is called prana vayu, samana vayu, apana vayu, udhana and vyana. These five manifestations of prana have distinct… distinct functions to it. Prana vayu is in charge of respiratory action and thought process and the sensation of touch. When someone dies, how do you… how do you check, whether someone is alive or dead? You check his breath has stopped. When one’s breath has stopped, you say he is dead. The breath has stopped because the prana vayu has begin to… begun to exit. After the breath has stopped, it will take up to one-and-a-half hours for the pranayu… prana vayu to leave completely. But still the other four dimensions will be there. This is why it was set up after the breath stops, you must wait for one-and-a-half hours minimum before you cremate someone because he is still alive in many other ways.

噢，那么我有和你们提过，生命能量如何以五种特性显现的吧。Prana在五个不同的维度发生，分别为prana vayu, samana vayu, apana vayu, udhana 和 vyana. Prana的这五种表现形式具有明显不同的功能。Prana vayu负责呼吸活动、思维过程以及触觉。当一个人死时，你如何判断那个人是否已经死了？你检查他的呼吸。当他的呼吸停止时，你说他死了。呼吸停止是因为prana vayu开始退出。呼吸停止至少一个半小时后，prana vayu才会完全退出。但其他四个维度仍然存在。这就是为什么在呼吸停止后，你必须等待至少一个半小时才能开始火化，因为从很多层面上来看，他还是活的。


Only thing is we want to wait till his sensation is gone, so that he doesn't feel the burn. See we are very compassionate (Few laugh). We wait for one-and-a-half hours so that his thought process, his respiratory action and his sensations are gone. That’s not the guy (A participant screams) we are talking about (Laughter). Now the remaining part of the prana will still be there. And the vyana, the last dimension of the prana could last up to twelve to fourteen days. Wherever there is no sensation, whichever part of your body, where there is no sensation, you must understand, that part of the body has no prana vayu in it. Right now, if you take your hair, if you do this, there is no sensation. Only if you pull it this way, there is sensation. Because here there is no prana vayu but still it grows. This is the reason why even after somebody is dead, even for a corpse, after few days still the hair growth happens, nail growth happens. Do you know? Are there any undertakers (Few laugh)?

这么做的唯一原因是，我们想要等到他的知觉消失了才将他火化，这样他就感觉不到被火烧。看，我们多仁慈。我们等一个半小时，等到他的思维过程、呼吸和感觉都消失。现在Prana的其他维度仍在那里。而Vanya，prana的最后一个维度可以持续12-14天。哪里没有感觉，你的身体的哪个部位没有感觉，就说明那个部位没有prana vayu。现在，如果你像这样碰你的头发，你没有感觉。只有像这样扯，你才有感觉。因为这里没有Prana Vayu，但它仍然会长。这就是为什么，即使一个人死后，甚至是尸体，几天之后他的毛发和指甲仍会继续长。你们知道吗？这里有没有殡葬业从业人员？


I'm just asking if it's your profession. After one is dead, up to twelve to fourteen days, hair growth will happen, simply because this can grow just with vyana, with simple maintenance of the system, it will happen. Though other parts of the body may begin to rot, still vyana functions. So when Shankara left his body, he left his vyana in the system because his body should be maintained. And the king who died, died of a cobra venom.  When cobra venom enters your system, what is happening to the system is, your blood begins to coagulate.When blood becomes thicker than what it is, the (Talks aside: speaks in Tamil - not transcribed) When blood begins to coagulate, breath becomes hard because (Audio Cut) Hello? (Audio Cut) Breathing and circulation are very directly connected. When circulation becomes difficult, it becomes hard to breath. So you… oh… (Talks aside: please give me a just give me a gooseneck microphone). Your breath will stop well before your prana vayu has exited. In many ways, this is an ideal condition for one who wants to… when somebody wants to enter that body, it’s ideal. Normally, it would give you only one-and-a-half hours’ time. But in…when a person has got cobra’s venom in the system, it will give up to four-and-a-half hours’ time.

我只是问有没有人从事这个职业。一个人死后12-14天内，毛发仍会生长，仅仅因为vyana还在。只需要简单的系统维护，它就能发生。虽然身体的其他部位可能开始腐烂，但Vyana还在运作着。所以当Shankara离开他的身体时，他把Vyana留在了他的系统中，以维持住他的身体。而国王死于眼镜蛇毒液。当眼镜蛇毒液进入你的系统时，你的血液会开始凝固。当血液变得浓稠时，当血液开始凝固时，呼吸会变得困难，因为呼吸和血液循环是息息相关的。当血液循环变得困难时，呼吸就会变得困难。而呼吸的停止要远早于prana vayu的退出。从很多方面来看，如果有人想进入那个身体，这是个理想的时机。通常，你只有一个半小时的时间（从呼吸停止到prana vayu完全退出需一个半小时）来做这件事。但是当人体系统中有眼镜蛇毒液时，这个间隔可以长达四个半小时。


So Shankara got this opportunity that there was four-and-a-half hours’ time. So he very easily entered that body and he was there to answer these questions experientially. So, he went through that process. But the king's people, there were some wise people there. When they saw a man who they had declared dead, suddenly sits up and full of energy and they could recognize by his behavior, it is not the same person. This is someone else in the same body. 



So what they did (Laughs) they sent soldiers all over the city, saying whoever is dead, whoever, wherever you see a body, burn it immediately. Because now the king has come alive, he should not leave and go back. So soldiers went looking everywhere. Anybody, anywhere just burn it quickly. So that, if that is the person, who has come here, cannot go back. So we still have our king, a different guy but he looks the same, so what (Laughter). 



So is such a thing possible? Yes, very much possible. Is it a feat? It is not really such a feat. A little bit of understanding of the mechanics of how life happens within you. Now, if one wants to enter a living body, someone was alive, to enter that, that would take a lot more. To enter one who has just exited, that's much simpler. Within first one-and-a-half hours it's ideal because the necessary vacuum has happened at the same time everything else is on. This was (Laughs) this used to be common, not very common, but almost everybody would've heard that something like this happened somewhere. So, this is the reason why when somebody's breath begins to become recede, in India, they always keep them just outside the house. They will put Samrani (Referring to a kind of incense used in religious activities) and they will start chanting something. This is one thing is to comfort the one who is departing. Another thing is to ensure that somebody else doesn't usurp the body. 



So many methods and many protections were created so that these things don't happen. There are many ways to see that such things don't happen. But today, it is such a rare occurrence that now you started referring to it as a feat. So maybe, you would like to see it happen. But most people are dying with tubes and needles stuck all over them. So I don't think that will offer much of an opportunity. Because their breath is not theirs, the machines are breathing for them. So we should go and check and see whether still prana is still on or prana is gone, they’re just keeping the breath on through a machine. This is something we can check. I think it's very much possible. Even after prana vayu is completely gone, they're keeping the breath going on and extending it by a few days or hours because it adds up into nice fat bills. It's good for the economy (Few laugh).

人们创造了很多方法和保护措施，来确保这种事情不会发生。很多方法可以做到这一点。但如今，这种事情变得如此稀有，以至于你们开始称它为一种本领。也许，你想要看到这种事情发生。但大多数人死去的时候，他们全身上下都被插满了各种针管。这就不能提供那样的机会，因为他们的呼吸都不是自己的，而是机器在替他们呼吸。所以，我们得去检查他的prana到底还在不在。他们的呼吸是通过机器来维持的。我们可以检查一下。我认为这是很有可能的。即使在prana vayu完全离开后，他们的呼吸都还被延长几天或几个小时，这样一来，医疗账单就会更加壮观，这对经济有好处。


(For) Participant 2: Sadhguru, could you tell us something about Runanubandha or physical memory? Can we avoid this? Is this a curse or a blessing for a spiritual seeker?  



Sadhguru: Today, lot of sport coaches, people who coach sports persons are all talking about muscle memory. People understand that if you go by your mental memory, many things cannot be done. So you've to build muscle memory about doing a particular action with a certain level of perfection that unthinkingly, you can just do it. So we are conscious that we can build memory into the body. Well, but this need not be discovered now. We know very well the body is full of memory. Every cell in your body, carries enormous memory. That's how you've a form and a shape. Depending upon the kind of memory that our parents gave us accordingly everything is formed. 



But now we are talking about imparting memory to the body from outside. Yes. You will see by memory, by muscle memory or by body, physical memory, if you go on sitting in one place as you get older, this will get stronger in you, that even in your home, if you start sitting in one particular place, somehow you go round and round and settle down in the same place. This your dogs do, cats do, other animals do. It's okay for them. A human being is not supposed to be like this but they have built Runanubandha with even, you know, a pillow. So they can build that physical memory which comforts them, which gives them some sense of belonging. 



This Runanubandha what it means is, it gives you a certain level of belonging, certain level of being at home, with certain kind of memory, if you build in the system, with that kind of person with that kind of situation, you feel at home. This is what you call as home. Your home is Runanubandha. Why one who is on the spiritual path, always wanders or moves away from home and keeps minimal contact with those things is because even inanimate things can bind you big time. So Runanubandha means body develops a certain memory with things that it’s come in touch with. It can be a thing. It can be a place. It can be another person. More and more of this kind of memory means these are all good, if you want to be anchored to one place. 



A ship throws anchor when it doesn't want to sail anywhere. But when it wants to sail, it has to pull up its anchor. Otherwise, it's not going to go anywhere. Even if the winds are great, it will not sail because the anchor is down. So Runanubandha is like anchor. If you don't pull it up, you can flutter your sail as much as you want, but the anchor won't let you travel anywhere. It won't let you be a sea-farer. You will be docked. That's a right word. You are docked.
