第一百五十一阶:我不会用恐惧来支持自己的判断
Step 151 I will not use fear to support my judgments.
Do not use fear to support your judgments of yourself and the world, for these judgments are born of your uncertainty and anxiety. Thus, they lack the foundation of Knowledge. Thus, they lack the meaning and value that only Knowledge can bestow. Do not rely upon your judgments of yourself and the world. As you withdraw from them, you will realize that their source is fear, for you have only been trying to comfort yourself with your judgments, to provide a false security, stability and identity which you feel you are lacking. Therefore, be without a substitute for Wisdom and Knowledge, and allow Wisdom and Knowledge to arise naturally.
不要用恐惧来支持你对自己和世界的判断,因为这些判断源于你的不确定和焦虑。因此,它们缺乏内识的基础。因此,它们缺乏只有内识才能赋予的意义和价值。不要依赖你对自己和世界的判断。当你从这些判断中抽身出来时,你就会认识到它们的根源是恐惧,因为你只是试图用你的判断来安慰自己,为自己提供一种虚假的安全感、稳定感和认同感,而这正是你所缺乏的。因此,不要让智慧和内识代替你,让智慧和内识自然产生。
Upon the hour repeat your statement, and consider it in light of all things that are occurring today. In your two deeper practices, consider the meaning of today’s idea as you think about it carefully. Apply your mind in a state of work as you attempt to penetrate the meaning of today’s lesson. Do not be comforted by premature conclusions. Investigate deeply with your mind in your practice periods. Use your mind actively. Consider many things within yourself while maintaining a concentration on today’s idea. If you do this, you will understand many things about wisdom and ignorance, and your understanding will be born of compassion and true selfappreciation. For only from a place of self-love can you offer correction to yourself and to others.
每小时重复一次你的陈述,并结合今天发生的所有事情进行思考。在你的两次深入练习中,仔细思考今天的想法的意义。当你试图深入理解今天课程的意义时,将你的心灵运用到工作状态中。不要过早下结论。在练习期间用心深入探究。积极运用你的心灵。在专注于今天所学内容的同时,考虑自己内心的许多事情。如果你这样做了,你就会明白许多关于智慧和无知的事情,你的理解将源于同情和真正的自我欣赏。因为只有从自爱的角度出发,你才能修正自己和他人。
