STEP 219 I WILL NOT LET AMBITION DECEIVE ME TODAY.

As Knowledge is now beginning to germinate within you, do not allow your own ambition to deceive you. Your ambition is born of your personal need for recognition and reassurance. It is an attempt to counteract fear by controlling the opinions of others. Your ambition here is destructive, but like all other faculties of mind that are now misappropriated, in time it can serve the greatness of Knowledge. You have not achieved this state yet; therefore, do not attempt to do anything with your Knowledge, for it is not for you to use Knowledge but to receive Knowledge. It is in your receptivity to Knowledge that you will find Knowledge to be of the greatest service and usefulness to you.

随着内识在你内心深处开始萌芽，不要让你自己的野心欺骗你。你的野心源于个人对认可和保证的需求。这是试图通过控制他人的看法来抵消恐惧。这里的野心是破坏性的，但就像所有现在被挪用的心灵功能一样，随着时间的推移，它可以服务于内识的伟大。你还没有达到这个状态；因此，不要试图对内识做任何事情，因为你的任务不是使用内识，而是接收内识。你对内识的接收将使内识对你产生最大的帮助和效用。

Do not let ambition pull you where you cannot go. Do not let it misappropriate your vitality and your energy. Learn to become patient and calm with Knowledge, for Knowledge has its own goal and direction in life, which you are now learning to follow.

不要让野心将你拉向无法到达的地方。不要让野心挪用你的活力和能量。学会在内识面前保持耐心与平静，因为内识在生命中有它自己的目标和方向，而你现在正在学习跟随它。

Throughout today in your hourly practices and in your deeper meditations as well, allow yourself to be without ambition, for you do not know what to do with Knowledge. In your longer meditations, allow this to free you so that you may enter stillness and leave the world of physical things.

在你今天的每小时练习和更深层次的冥想中，允许你自己没有野心，因为你不知道该如何处理内识。在更长的冥想中，允许内识使你自由，以便你可以进入静止，离开物质世界的事情。
