第二百二十阶:今天我会使用克制,让伟大在我心中成长
STEP 220 I WILL USE RESTRAINT TODAY SO THAT GREATNESS MAY GROW WITHIN ME.
Use restraint regarding those faculties that you recognize to be harmful or debilitating to the reclamation of Knowledge. Hold yourself back intentionally so that Knowledge may grow within you. This is no limitation that you place upon yourself. Instead, it is the meaningful use of your mind and strength to cultivate an awareness of the Greater Power within you and to allow it to emerge, to guide and to direct you.
克制那些你认为对内识的开垦有害或有损的能力。有意克制你自己,让内识在你内心深处成长。这不是你对你自己的限制。相反,这是有意义地使用你的心灵和力量,培养你对内心深处更伟大力量的觉知,并让它出现、引导和指引你。
In today’s lesson, as in lessons past, you are learning to recognize the source of Knowledge and the vehicle of Knowledge and not to confuse the two. Learn restraint today so that Knowledge may grow within you. Do not think that restraint merely refers to past behavior where you limited what was genuine within yourself. No, your focus today is to learn the form of intentional restraint that represents an expression of your power and self-discipline. Your power and self-discipline must now be exercised to become strong, for your mind and body are vehicles of Knowledge, and as vehicles, they must be developed and strengthened.
在今天的课程中,和过去的课程一样,你要学会认识内识的来源和内识的载体,不要混淆两者。今天,你要学会克制,让内识在你的内心深处成长。不要认为克制仅仅是指过去你限制你自己内心真实想法的行为。不,你今天的重点是学习有意克制的形式,它代表了你的力量和自律。你的力量和自律现在必须得到锻炼才能变得强大,因为你的心灵和身体是内识的载体,作为载体,它们必须得到发展和加强。
In your deeper practices today, as in your hourly practices, restrain those forms of thinking and behavior that betray your Knowledge so that you may enter Knowledge in stillness and in peace. With this restraint, freedom will be discovered, for freedom is found beyond this world and is brought into this world, for freedom is the gift of Knowledge.
在你今天的深入练习中,就像在你每小时的练习中一样,克制那些背叛你内识的思维和行为方式,这样你才能在静止和安宁中进入内识。有了这种克制,自由就会被发现,因为自由是在这个世界之外被发现的,也是被带入这个世界的,因为自由是内识的礼物。
