萨古鲁：为什么起床时要从右侧起身？

When you wake up in the morning you never roll to the left because you could cause some minor damage to the system.

当你在早晨醒来时，永远不要向左边翻身，因为你可能会对系统造成一些轻微的损害。

Right side is more stable; left side is more vulnerable.

右边更稳定；左边更脆弱。

There are studies... If you're left-handed, then you could live less.

有研究表明……如果你是左撇子，你可能寿命更短。

Speaker: In hatha yoga, whether surya namaskar or asanas, why do we always begin with the right side first?

发言人：在哈他瑜伽中，无论是surya namaskar（拜日式）还是asanas（体式），为什么我们总是先从右边开始？

Sadhguru: Because it's right. You want to do it on the wrong side? Because it's masculine (Says in a grumpy voice). Both physiologically, energy-wise and psychologically, right is the more stable side. Stability also comes with rigidity. This is an inevitable factor. Whatever is stable is also rigid. To make yourself very fluid and still be stable takes work.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：因为那是对的。（注：此处为双关，right既指“右边”，也指“正确”）你想在错误的一边做？因为它很阳刚（用粗犷的声音说）。在生理上、能量上和心理上，右边都是更稳定的一边。稳定也伴随着僵硬。这是一个不可避免的因素。凡是稳定的也是僵硬的。要使自己非常灵动同时又保持稳定是需要付出努力的。

This is why the yogis fell in love with mercury – fluid but super stable. It's the only thing like that. So we love mercury because so fluid and so stable. Right side is more stable and also somewhat more rigid. Physiologically, if you go... start with the body physiologically, left side is little more fragile because left has the responsibility of having your heart, which has many layered significance in the physiology – not just of pumping blood, it has a many layered significance and you don't start that side.

这就是为什么瑜伽士爱上了水银——灵动但相当稳定。只有水银这样。所以我们爱水银，因为它如此灵动且如此稳定。右边更稳定，同时也有些僵硬。生理上，如果你……从身体的生理层面开始，左边是更脆弱的，因为左边担负着承载心脏的责任，这在生理上有多层意义——不仅仅是泵送血液，它有许多层次的重要性，所以你不从左边开始。

In India, we told you, even when you wake up in the morning, you roll to the right and get up, you never roll to the left, because the first movement that you make, if you make to the left, you could cause some minor damage to the system. You always roll right. And also, as large part of the landmass on the planet is largely in the northern hemisphere and human populations... Eighty-eight percent of human population is in the northern hemisphere. And in the northern hemisphere, there are many forces within the system which function like this, so this is why always right.

在印度，我们会告诉你，甚至当你在早上醒来的时候，你向右边翻身起床，永远不要向左边翻身，因为你做的第一个动作，如果你转向左边，你可能会对系统造成一些轻微的损害。你总是向右边翻身。还有，由于地球上的大部分陆地大都在北半球，而且人口……88%的人口是在北半球。而在北半球， 系统内的许多力量是像这样运作的，所以这就是为什么总是右边。

So, immediately people from Australia will ask this question, 'Should I start with left?' No. Just because you're going the wrong way, you don't have to continue that way. You must start with right because physiologically it is so, psychologically it is so, energy-wise it is so, that right side is more stable, left side is more vulnerable. So, always with the right – even if you wake up in the morning, on the right. First movement should happen on the right side, not on the left side.

那么，澳洲人立即就会问这个问题：“我应该从左边开始吗？” 不。虽然你方向错了，但没必要继续错下去。你必须从右边开始，因为生理上是如此，心理上是如此，能量上是如此，右边更稳定，左边更脆弱。所以，总是从右边——即使你在早上醒来，也是从右边。第一个动作应该发生在右边，而不是在左边。

There is... There are studies, which clearly say that those who are left-handed, they tend to live, less than right-handed people. Do you know this? You're left-handed? If you're left-handed, if you're constantly using your left hand more than your right hand, then you could live less on an average, compared to right-handed people. Of course, life and death has so many other factors involved, but this could reduce one's life span because left is a vulnerable space. It needs to follow, it should not be the up front. So, always on the right.

有一些研究明确表明，左撇子的人，他们往往比右撇子的人寿命短。你知道这个吗？你是左撇子？如果你是左撇子，如果你经常使用左手比右手多，那么你的平均寿命会比右撇子短。当然，生与死涉及许多其他因素，但这会减损一个人的寿命，因为左边是一个脆弱的空间。它需要跟随，它不应该是先行的。所以，总是在右边。
