Step 160 The world is poor, but I am not.

The world is poor, but you are not poor. Regardless of your circumstances, this is true because you are reclaiming the wealth of Knowledge. Understand, then, the meaning of impoverishment. Understand, then, the meaning of wealth. Do not think that those who possess more objects than you are in any way wealthier than you are, for without Knowledge they are impoverished and will acquire things only to offset their misery and uncertainty. Thus, their impoverishment is compounded by their acquisition.

世界是贫穷的，但你并不贫穷。无论你的境遇如何，这都是真实的，因为你正在开垦内识的财富。因此，请理解贫穷的含义。然后，请理解财富的含义。不要认为那些比你拥有更多物品的人在任何方面都比你富有，因为没有内识，他们是贫穷的，获得物品只是为了抵消他们的痛苦和不确定性。因此，他们的贫穷会因为他们的获取而加剧。

The world is poor, but you are not, for you have brought Knowledge with you into the world where Knowledge has been forgotten and denied. Thus, in the reclamation of your own wealth, the world will reclaim its wealth as well, for you shall stimulate Knowledge in all, and their wealth will begin to reveal itself in your presence and in the presence of Knowledge which guides you.

世界是贫穷的，但你不是，因为你把内识带入了这个内识被遗忘和否认的世界。因此，在开垦你自己的财富时，世界也将开垦它的财富，因为你将激发所有人的内识，他们的财富将在你和引导你的内识面前开始显现。

Therefore, do not ask anything of the world save what few material things you need to fulfill your function. This is a small request in light of what you have come to give. And if your demands are not in excess of what you need, the world will gladly render them to you in exchange for a greater gift which you possess.

因此，除了履行职责所需的一些物质条件外，不要向世界索取任何东西。与你所要付出的相比，这是微不足道的要求。如果你的要求没有超出你的需求，世界会很乐意将它们提供给你，以换取你所拥有的更伟大的礼物。

Consider the idea for the day upon each hour. Do not let any hour pass without this recognition. Strengthen your resolution to use each practice in all circumstances of the day so that your life may be meaningful in all of its events. In your two longer practice periods today, enter into stillness and peace to learn more of the wealth that you possess.

每个小时都要考虑今天的想法。不要让任何一个小时在没有认识到这一点的情况下流逝。加强你的决心，在一天中的所有情况下运用每一次练习，这样你的生活就会在所有事件中变得有意义。在今天两次较长时间的练习中，进入静止与和平，更多地学习你所拥有的财富。
