This is what retirement is. You have earned the bread today, now retire.

这就是退休的含义。今天你已经赚到了面包钱，现在退休。

But you don't know how to retire: you go on earning the bread in your dreams also. You lie down and you plan for tomorrow, and nobody knows whether the tomorrow is going to come or not. In fact it never comes. It is always today.

但是你并不知道如何退休。你也继续在你的梦里赚面包钱。你躺下来，你计划着未来，而没有人知道明天是否会来到。事实上它永远也不会来。它始终是今天。

You are planning for the future, not knowing that death will destroy all future. Be wise. Remain in the moment. Live it as totally as possible and then you will know no death.

你在计划着未来，却不知道死亡会摧毁所有的未来。聪明点。保持在当下。尽可能全然的活过当下，然后你就会知道并没有死亡。

A man who is not worried about tomorrow, knows no death. He becomes deathless, because death is tomorrow—life is today.

一个不担心明天的人，知道没有死亡。他变成了永恒的，因为死亡是明天——生命是今天。

Death is in the future, life is always in the present—this is the meaning of retire. If you would like me to translate this word "retire", I will call it sannyas. You don't retire in the end of life, you retire every day, retire every moment.

死亡是在未来，生命则始终在当下——这就是退休的含义。如果你想要我翻译“退休”这个词，我会称之为门徒/修行。你不在生命的尽头退休，你每天都在退休，每一刻都在退休。

When you have enjoyed a moment it is retirement, it is through retirement, it is sannyas. When you come back from the office to your house, leave the office in the office. Don't carry it in your head, otherwise the head will have a headache, bound to have, such a big thing, the office, you carry in your head! It is heavy! The whole market in your head is heavy!

当你已经享受过一个片刻，它是退休，它是通过退休，它是门徒/修行。当你从办公室回到家，把办公室（工作）放在办公室里。不要在脑袋里装着它，否则你脑袋会疼，注定会头疼，这么大的东西，办公室，你脑袋里装着它！它很沉！你脑袋里的整个市场很沉重！

Retirement every day, retirement every moment ... The very word "retirement" does not look good to us because it gives a feeling of old age, inability. Somewhere beyond sixty-five, when death comes near, one retires. No, the word "retire" is very beautiful. It is the meaning of sannyas. Retire means rest. The work is done, now retire, enjoy it.

在每一天退休，在每一刻退休……“退休”这个词不怎么好听，因为它给人一种老了、没能力的感觉。在某些地方，当人们过了65岁，当死亡临近，一个人才退休。不，“退休”这个词非常美。它意味着门徒/修行。退休意味着休息。工作已经完成了，现在退休，享受它。

Don't postpone enjoyment, that is the meaning of the word "retire". Enjoy here and now.

不要把享受延后，这就是“退休”这个词的含义。享受此时此地。
