STEP 113 I WILL NOT BE PERSUADED BY OTHERS.

Any mind that is more resolved than yours can persuade you and cast an influence upon you. There is nothing very mysterious about this. It is simply the result of one mind being more concentrated or focused than another. Minds have relative degrees of influence upon one another, depending upon their concentration and depending upon the kind of influence they exert. Let Knowledge persuade you, for that is the greatness that you carry. Let not the opinions or will of others persuade you. Let only their Knowledge influence you, for only this can influence your Knowledge. This will be quite different from feeling dominated, manipulated or persuaded by others.

任何一个比你更坚定的心灵都可以说服你，对你施加影响。这并不神秘。这只是一个心灵比另一个更集中或更专注的结果。心灵在彼此之间具有相对程度的影响力，这取决于它们的集中程度和它们施加的影响种类。让内识说服你，因为这是你的伟大之处。不要让他人的观点或意愿说服你。只让他们的内识影响你，因为只有他们的内识才能影响你的内识。这与被他人支配、操纵或说服的感觉截然不同。

Therefore, keep to yourself. Follow Knowledge. If another stimulates your Knowledge, then give that individual your attention so that you may learn of the true powers of persuasion. Yet let not the persuasions of this world—its grievances, its cherished ideals, its morality, its demands or its compromises—influence you, for you are following Knowledge, and you need not follow the persuasions of the world.

因此，保持自己。跟随内识。如果另一个人激发了你的内识，那么给予那个人你的关注，以便你能够学习到真实的说服力量。但不要让这个世界的说服力量——它的不满、它珍视的理想、它的道德、它的要求或它的妥协——影响你，因为你正在跟随内识，你无需追随世界的说服力量。

Remind yourself of today’s idea upon the hour and practice stillness deeply in your two meditation practices today. Allow only Knowledge to persuade you, for this is all that you need to follow in the world.

在整点的时候提醒自己今天的这个观念，并且今天在你的两次冥想实践中深度实践静心。只允许内识来说服你，因为这是你在世界上需要跟随的一切。
