STEP 237 I AM ONLY BEGINNING TO COMPREHEND THE MEANING OF MY LIFE.

You are only beginning to comprehend the meaning of your life. This will naturally arise in your understanding without your efforts in attempting to conceptualize it. The meaning and purpose of your life will simply arise and be expressed today and tomorrow and in the days to come, for Knowledge is that simple and fundamental. Thus, your intellect can be used to deal with the physical necessities of your life, the particulars of your life and the mechanism of your life, for this is the application of the intellect. Yet the greatness of Knowledge provides purpose, meaning and direction, which the intellect can never provide. Therefore, the intellect is a faculty that has a true function here, for it serves the greatness of Knowledge.

你只是刚刚开始理解你生命的意义。这将自然地在你的理解中出现，而不是通过你的努力去概念化它。你生命的意义和目的将自然而然地在今天、明天以及未来的日子里显现，因为内识是如此简单而根本。因此，你的智力可以用来处理你生命中的物质需求、生命的细节以及生命的机制，因为这就是智力的应用。然而，内识的伟大提供了目的、意义和方向，这些是智力永远无法提供的。因此，智力在这里有一种真实的功能，因为它服务于内识的伟大。

You are only beginning to comprehend the meaning of Knowledge and the nature of Knowledge. Think not that your conclusions thus far are adequate to your needs, for you are a beginning student of Knowledge and as a beginning student, you will not make the mistake of relying upon your assumptions alone. For beginning students make few assumptions and are eager to learn all that is necessary for them. Be a beginning student today. Recognize how little you know and how much you must learn. You have a lifetime to learn this, and yet your lifetime must be activated and strengthened beyond what you have realized thus far. In time, the greatness that you carry will express itself through you in actions both great and small.

你只是开始理解内识的意义和内识的自然。不要认为你迄今为止的结论就足够满足你的需求，因为你是内识的初学者，作为初学者，你不能仅仅依赖于你的假设。因为初学者不会做出太多的假设，而是渴望学习所有对他们来说必要的事情。今天就做一名初学者。认识到你知道的如此之少，以及你必须学习的是如此之多。你有一生的时间来学习这一切，但你的生命必须超越你迄今为止所意识到的，得到激活和增强。随着时间的推移，你所携带的伟大将通过你的小事和大事表现出来。

Today, in your deeper practice periods where you enter stillness, allow your awareness of Knowledge to be cultivated further. Attend to your practice like a patient gardener who does not demand that all plants bear fruit today, but who understands the seasons of growth and change. Allow yourself to have this comprehension, for in time you will understand objectively how human beings develop and grow and what they carry within them. When you leave this world, if you are successful in cultivating Knowledge and in allowing it to give all of its gifts into the world, you will then be able to become one of the Teachers of those who remain behind. In this way, you will fulfill your learning in the world by contributing all that you have acquired in the world to others. In this, your gift is fulfilled and theirs is furthered.

今天，在你进入静止状态的深入练习阶段，允许你进一步培养对内识的觉知。像一位耐心的园丁一样，照顾你的练习，不要求今天所有的植物都结出果实，但理解成长和变化的季节。允许你自己拥有这种理解，因为随着时间的推移，你将客观地理解人类是如何发展和成长的，以及他们内心中携带的内识。当你离开这个世界时，如果你成功地培养了内识，并允许内识将所有的礼物带入世界，那你将能够成为那些留下来的人们的老师之一。这样，你将在世界上通过将你所获得的一切贡献给他人，来完成你在世界上的学习。在这一点上，你的礼物得以圆满，他们的礼物也得到了进一步的扩展。

You are only beginning to comprehend these words. Today strengthen your experience of Knowledge so that the comprehension of these words may deepen within you. Upon the hour repeat today’s idea so that all of your activities and all of your engagements, in whatever environment you find yourself, are conducive to your practice. For there is no event or interaction which Knowledge cannot bless and harmonize.

你只是开始理解这些话语。今天，加强你对内识的体验，以便这些话语的理解能够在你内心加深。每小时重复今天的想法，使你的一切活动和参与，不论你身处何种环境，都有助于你的练习。因为没有任何事件或参与是内识无法祝福并使其和谐的。
