Step 148 My practice is my gift to God.

Your practice is your gift to God, for God wills that you receive Knowledge so that you may give it to the world. Thus, you are honored as the recipient and as the vehicle for Knowledge, God is honored as the source of Knowledge, and all who receive it will be honored as well. This is your gift now—to undertake the true preparation that you are involved in currently.

你的练习是你献给上帝的礼物,因为上帝希望你能够获得内识,以便你可以将其传递给世界。因此,作为内识的接收者和传播者,你将受到尊敬,上帝作为内识的源头也将受到尊敬,而所有收到内识的人也将受到尊敬。这是你现在的礼物——参与你当前正在进行的真实准备。

Therefore, treat each practice period today as a form of giving. Upon the hour, give yourself in each circumstance in which you find yourself. In your two deep meditation practices, give yourself completely. Do not come begging for ideas or information, but come to receive and come to give. As you give yourself, you will receive and in this you will learn the ancient law that to give is to receive. This must be born completely in your experience so that you may fully comprehend its meaning and its application in the world.

因此,今天要把每个练习时段视为一种给予的形式。在每个整点,给出你自己,在你所处的每个情境中。在两次深入冥想的练习中,完全地给予你自己。不要来乞求想法或信息,而是来接收和给予。当你给予你自己时,你就会收到,在此过程中你将学习到古老的法则——给予即是收到。这必须完全在你的体验中得以印证,以便你能够充分理解它的意义及其在世界中的应用。

Your practice is your gift to God. Your practice is your gift to yourself. Come to your practice today to give, for in your giving you will realize the depth of your own resources.

你的练习是你献给上帝的礼物。你的练习也是你给自己的礼物。今天带着给予的心态来进行练习,因为在你的给予中,你将认识到自己资源的深度。
