第二百三十六阶:有了内识,我将知道该做什么
STEP 236 WITH KNOWLEDGE I WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO.
With Knowledge you will know what to do, and your certainty will be so strong that it will be difficult for you to doubt it or to argue against it. Here you must be prepared to act and act boldly. If your predominant concern is protecting your ideas and your physical body, then you will be afraid of Knowledge, fearing that it will lead you to do something that will be dangerous or harmful for you. Knowledge can only be demonstrated. Its beneficence must be experienced. It can only be experienced by accepting its presence and carrying out its direction.
有了内识,你会知道该做什么,你的确定性将如此强烈,以至于你很难对此产生怀疑或提出异议。在这里,你必须准备好行动,并且大胆地行动。如果你主要关心的是保护你的想法和你的身体,那你就会害怕内识,担心它会引导你去做一些对你来说危险或有害的事情。内识只能通过体验来展示。它的恩惠必须通过体验才能感受到。只有接受它的存在并执行它的指引,才能体验到它。
With Knowledge you will know what to do, and your certainty will far exceed all of the pretenses you have made about certainty thus far. Self-doubt may continue in the face of Knowledge, but Knowledge is so much greater because your whole being will be engaged in the activity. Only the littleness of your self-doubt, born of your own false beliefs, can argue against it. Yet its arguments are pathetic and pitiful and lack depth and conviction.
有了内识,你将知道该做什么,而你的确定性将远远超越你迄今为止关于确定性的所有伪装。尽管面对内识时,内心的自我怀疑可能会继续存在,但内识的伟大超越了这一切,因为你的整个存在都会参与到这项活动中。只有源于你自己错误信念的渺小的自我怀疑,才会对此提出质疑。然而,这些质疑是可怜且微不足道的,缺乏深度和信服力。
Knowledge will move within you at certain times, for in stillness it observes all things until it is ready to act, and when it acts, it acts! Thus it is that you will learn with Knowledge to be at peace in the world, and yet when you act, you will act with true efficacy and with great result. In this way, you may be a person of action and contemplation all at once, for your contemplation will be deep and meaningful, and your action will be deep and meaningful as well.
内识会在某些时候在你内心运作,因为在静止中它观察一切,直到准备好行动,而一旦它行动,就会付诸行动。因此,你将在内识的引导下学习在世界上保持和平,而当你采取行动时,你的行动将真实有效,并取得伟大的成果。通过这种方式,你可以同时成为一个行动者和沉思者,因为你的沉思将是深刻而有意义的,你的行动也将是深刻而有意义的。
With Knowledge you will know what to do. Do not think that you know what to do unless you are with Knowledge and Knowledge is indicating for you to do something with great power. Do not make small attempts at resolving your problems, for without Knowledge your attempts will be meaningless and will compound your frustration.
有了内识,你将知道该做什么。不要认为你知道该做什么,除非你与内识同在,并且内识正以伟大的力量指示你去做某些事情。不要做一些小尝试来解决你的问题,因为没有内识的指引,你的尝试将毫无意义,并且会加重你的挫败感。
Upon the hour repeat today’s idea and consider it. In the depth of your longer practices, utilize the skills that you have cultivated thus far to engage yourself with stillness. If Knowledge is still, you may be still as well. Thus, when Knowledge stimulates action, you will be able to act, and in so doing, the resolution that you bring will be greater than anything you could conceive of.
每小时重复今天的想法并思考它。在更长时间的练习中,运用你迄今为止培养的技能,使你自己进入静止状态。如果内识是静止的,你也可以是静止的。这样,当内识激发行动时,你将能够采取行动,而在此过程中,你所带来的解决方案将超越你所能想象的一切。
