STEP 36 MY LIFE IS A MYSTERY TO EXPLORE.

TRULY YOUR LIFE IS A MYSTERY and, yes, truly it requires that you explore it if you wish to comprehend its purpose, its meaning and its true direction. This is essential for your happiness and fulfillment in the world, for if you have been looking carefully at your life, you will realize you have not been satisfied by little things. For you who seek Knowledge, something greater must be given. You must penetrate the mere surface of things, which seems to adequately stimulate most people. You must accept your deeper yearning or you will cause yourself unnecessary grief and conflict. It is not important what other people value. It is important what you value. If you are seeking for greater meaning, which is true meaning, you must penetrate the surface of your mind.

确实，你的生命是一个谜，如果你希望理解其目的、其意义和真实的方向，你需要探索它。这对你在世界上的幸福和满足至关重要，因为如果你仔细观察你的生活，你会意识到小事并不能满足你。对于寻求内识的你，必须给予更大的满足。你必须穿透生活的表面，这表面似乎足以刺激大多数人。你必须接受你更深的渴望，否则你将给自己带来不必要的痛苦和冲突。他人重视什么并不重要。重要的是你重视什么。如果你在寻求更大的意义，即真实的意义，你必须穿透你心智的表面。

IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, again concentrate in meditation upon feeling the presence of your Spiritual Teachers. This is not something you have to try to do. It simply means relaxing, breathing and allowing your mind to open. The quality of your relationship with your Teachers is essential to give you strength and encouragement, for you may justly doubt your own skills, but you have good cause to fully trust the skills of your Teachers, who have passed this way before on their way to Knowledge. They know the way, which they are seeking now to share with you.

在今天的两次练习时期中，再次集中冥想，感受你精神老师的存在。这不是你必须尝试去做的事情。这仅仅意味着放松，呼吸并让你的心灵开放。你与导师的关系质量对于给予你力量和鼓励至关重要，因为你可能正当地怀疑自己的技能，但你完全有理由信任你老师的技能，他们之前已经走过这条路，现在正试图与你分享这条路。他们知道前行的道路。
