萨古鲁：生命如何结束，死亡如何开始？(9)

在瑜伽的有些体系中，我们想要这五种vayu在1到1.5小时内，差不多同时消失。在正常死亡中，取决于这个人的年龄，这个身体有多活跃，vyana可能需要14天才能离开。这就是为什么在这一文化中，你们有长达14天的仪式——因为他们觉得vyana或许依旧存在。当你埋葬一个人的时候，vyana或许还萦绕在那儿。
That is the reason why in this culture, that was the rule – if somebody dies, within an hour-and a-half, you must cremate them. But then mistakes happened – when they were still alive, somebody put them on the funeral pyre. So they stretched it to four hours – within four hours, you must cremate the body. But today, there are all kinds of issues, so people are waiting for one, two, or three days. The daughter is in America and she has to come, so they are waiting – things like that.
这正是为什么在这一文化中，规矩是——如果一个人死了，在1到1.5小时内，你必须火化他们。但这么一来错误发生了——当他们还活着的时候，有人就把他们放到火葬堆里。所以他们把期限延长到了四小时——在四小时内，你必须火化这个躯体。但如今，有各种各样的问题，所以人们要等1、2天或者3天。女儿人在美国，而她必须到场，所以他们就等着她——诸如此类的事。
The Rationale of Quick Cremation
快速火化的原理
We must understand this – you don’t diagnose people as dead, you declare them dead – there is a difference. So when you declare them dead, for you, they’re dead. As far as that person is concerned, in a way, all that has happened is he has lost his body. All his life, he lived thinking he is a body, never realizing the physical mass that he carries is just an accumulation from this planet. When he suddenly slips out of the body, he tends to hover around the body, because he has lost his discriminatory intelligence. Once he leaves the body, the discriminatory intellect is gone, so he tends to hover around that body.
