STEP 123 I WILL NOT PITY MYSELF TODAY.

How can you pity yourself when Knowledge is with you? Pity must only reassert an old idea of yourself, which is bereft of truth, bereft of hope and bereft of any meaningful foundation. Do not pity yourself today, for you are not pitiful. If this day is sad or confused, it is only because you have lost contact with Knowledge, which you may practice today to regain.

当内识与你同在时，你怎么能可怜自己呢？自怜只能让你重新认识自己的旧观念，而这种观念是没有真理、没有希望、没有任何意义的。今天，不要可怜自己，因为你并不可怜。如果你今天感到悲伤或困惑，那只是因为你失去了与内识的连接，而你今天可以通过练习来重新获得内识。

As you practice today, be aware of the many subtle forms of self-pity that you entertain. Be aware of the many subtle forms of manipulation of others as you attempt to make them like or accept you according to a view of yourself that you are attempting to claim. When you are with Knowledge, you do not need to proclaim yourself; you do not need to show yourself; you do not need to control others to like or accept you, for Knowledge is with you.

在今天的练习过程中，要注意自己许多微妙的自怜形式。注意你操纵他人的许多微妙形式，因为你试图按照自己的观点让他人喜欢或接受你。当你与内识同在时，你不需要宣扬自己；你不需要展示自己；你不需要控制他人来喜欢或接受你，因为内识与你同在。

Therefore, do not pity yourself, for you are not pitiful. Today be a beginning student of Knowledge, for that is anything but pitiful. A greater vantage point you cannot imagine.

因此，不要可怜自己，因为你并不可怜。今天，做一名内识的初学者吧，因为这并不可怜。你无法想象更高的境界。

Upon the hour, then, repeat this idea. Allow it to enter your mind and consider it for a moment. In your two practice periods, repeat this affirmation and then enter into stillness. No being who is pitiful can enter into silence, for silence is the experience of profound relationship, and stillness is the acceptance of profound love. Who can be pitiful under such circumstances?

因此，在这个时刻，重复这个想法。让它进入你的心灵，并思考片刻。在你的两次练习中，重复这句话，然后进入静止状态。没有一个可怜的人可以进入静止，因为静止是对深刻关系的体验，静止是对深刻爱的接纳。在这种情况下，谁还会可怜呢？
