Step 158 I am rich so I can give.

Only the rich can give, for they are not destitute. Only the rich can give, for they are not comfortable with a possession unless it is given. Only the rich can give, for they cannot understand their possession until it is given. Only the rich can give, for they wish to experience gratitude as their only reward.

只有富人才能给予，因为他们不会一无所有。只有富人才能给予，因为除非给予，否则他们不会对自己的财产感到舒适。只有富人才能给予，因为只有给予，他们才能理解自己的财产。只有富人才能给予，因为他们希望把感恩作为唯一的回报。

You are rich and you can give. You possess a wealth of Knowledge already, and this is the greatest possible gift. Any other action, any other favor, any other object that is a gift is only meaningful insofar as it is imbued with Knowledge. This is the unseen essence of all true gifts and all true giving. You have a great storehouse of this essence, which you must learn to receive. You are rich beyond your own awareness. Even if you are financially poor, even if you think you are alone, you are rich. Your giving will demonstrate this today. Your giving will demonstrate the source, the depth and the meaning of your wealth and will imbue all of your giving with the essence of giving itself. You will find in time that you will give without trying and that your life itself will be a gift. Then your life will demonstrate the wealth that each person possesses but which they have not yet learned to receive.

你很富有，你可以给予。你已经拥有了健康的内识，这就是最大的礼物。任何其他行动、任何其他恩惠、任何其他作为礼物的物品，只有在被内识所浸润的情况下才是有意义的。这是所有真实的礼物和所有真实的给予所看不到的实质。你拥有一个伟大的宝库，你必须学会打开它。你的富有超出了自己的觉知。即使你经济拮据，即使你认为自己孤身一人，你也是富有的。今天，你的捐赠将证明这一点。你的给予将证明你财富的来源、深度和意义，并将使你的所有给予都充满给予本身的实质。久而久之，你就会发现，你会不遗余力地给予，你的生命本身就是一份礼物。这样，你的生命就会展现出每个人都拥有但尚未学会收到的财富。

Repeat this idea upon the hour, and in your two longer meditation practices, experience your own wealth. Experience the presence and the depth of Knowledge. Be the recipient of Knowledge and give yourself to Knowledge, for in giving yourself to your practice, you affirm your own wealth already, which only needs to be affirmed to be fully realized.

每小时重复这个想法，在两次较长时间的冥想练习中，体验自己的财富。体验内识的存在和深度。成为内识的接纳者，把自己交给内识，因为在把自己交给你的练习时，你就已经肯定了自己的财富，而这种财富只需要得到肯定就能完全实现。
