STEP 117 IT IS BETTER TO BE SIMPLE THAN TO BE POOR.

Simplicity allows you to gain access to life and to enjoy its beneficence in every moment. Complexity is a state of self-disassociation which renders you incapable of enjoying life and perceiving your role within it. This is the source of all great poverty, for no worldly accomplishment and no worldly possession can banish the sense of isolation and destitution that accompanies such a disassociation.

简单使你能够进入生命并在每一刻享受其恩惠。复杂是一种自我分离的状态，使你无法享受生活并意识到自己在其中的角色。这是所有极度贫穷的根源，因为没有世俗的成就和财富可以驱散伴随这种分离的孤立感和贫困感。

Therefore, today practice stillness more deeply than before so that you may experience the power of Knowledge that is with you. Allow yourself to be simple, for in simplicity all things may be given to you. If you are considering yourself to be complex, or your problems to be complex, it is because you are viewing yourself and your problems without Knowledge and are thus lost in your evaluations. Here you are confusing things of greater value with things of lesser value, things of greater priority with things of lesser priority. Truth must always bring simplicity, for simplicity brings resolution and right understanding and establishes peace and confidence in those who can receive it.

因此，今天更深入地练习静止，以便你可以经历与你同在的内识的力量。让自己保持简单，因为在简单中一切都可以赋予你。如果你认为自己很复杂，或者你的问题很复杂，那是因为你在没有内识的情况下看待自己和你的问题，因此在评估中迷失了方向。在这里，你混淆了更有价值的关系与较低价值的关系，更重要的关系与次要的关系。真理必须总是带来简单，因为简单带来解决和正确的理解，并能够在接收它的人心中建立和平与信心。

Practice deeply today. Repeat today’s idea upon the hour, and in your two deep meditation practices, remind yourself that Knowledge is with you and then enter into stillness. Allow yourself to be simple and trust that Knowledge will guide you in all ways.

今天深入练习。每小时重复今天的想法，在你的两次深度冥想练习中，提醒自己内识与你同在，然后进入静止。让自己保持简单，并相信内识会在所有方面指导你。
