STEP 245 WHEN OTHERS FAIL, I AM REMINDED OF THE NEED FOR KNOWLEDGE.

When others fail, let this remind you of your need for Knowledge. Let your need for Knowledge not be underestimated. Thus, you need not respond with condemnation or judgment upon those who fail, but realize their great need and your great need. This will only confirm, then, the depth with which you must now prepare yourself. For you prepare yourself not only for your own advancement and fulfillment, but for the advancement and fulfillment of humanity. This is no idle claim or statement. It is absolutely the truth. For every step you take towards Knowledge, you give your accomplishment to the world, and you lessen the burden of all who struggle with their own fantasies and sense of failure.

当他人失败时，让这提醒你对内识的需求。不要低估你对内识的需求。因此，你不需要以谴责或评判的方式回应那些失败的人，而是要认识到他们的伟大需求以及你自己的伟大需求。这将进一步确认你现在必须如何深入地准备你自己。因为你不仅是为你自己的进步和成就而准备你自己的，也是为了整个人类的进步和成就。这不是一个空洞的声明，它是绝对的真理。因为你每迈向内识的一步，你的成就都会给予整个世界，并减轻所有为幻想和失败感而挣扎的人们的负担。

Your life, then, becomes your teaching, for it is a life of Knowledge. It demonstrates the presence of Knowledge in the world, which is the presence of God. This happens as a result of your serving as an advanced vehicle for Knowledge. In your advancement all human capabilities are furthered, all human liabilities are dissipated and that which is most true and genuine in individual human life in the world is exalted. And that which is beyond all human life, but which contains human life, is affirmed as well. Therefore, another’s failure is a call for your involvement with Knowledge. It is a call for your advancement and strengthening because you have come into the world to give.

因此，你的生命就成了你的教导，因为这是一种有内识的生命。它体现了内识在世界上的存在，也就是上帝的存在。这是通过你作为一个内识的先进载体而实现的。在你的进步中，所有人类的能力都会得到加强，所有人类的弱点都会被削弱，个人生命中最真实和最真诚的部分会被提升。而超越所有人类生命但又包含人类生命的内识也会因此被肯定。因此，他人的失败是对你与内识参与的召唤。这是对你成长和加强的召唤，因为你来到这个世界是为了给予。

Remind yourself of this upon the hour and in your two longer practice periods, actively engage your mind in comprehending this idea. Think of every individual that you think has failed and realize the meaning of today’s lesson in light of those individuals serving you. Realize the need for Knowledge within their lives and within your life. They are committing errors to spark your commitment to Knowledge. They are serving you in this regard, and this calls for your gratitude not your condemnation. They are teaching you to value the valuable and to release the meaningless. Think not they are not saving you time. They are saving you time. They are demonstrating that which you need to learn and to accept. Therefore, commit yourself to their well-being for teaching you to value Knowledge. As you value Knowledge, the result of your value will be given back to them in return, and they will be strengthened and honored by your accomplishment.

每小时提醒你自己这一点，并在两个较长的练习时段中，积极地让你的心灵理解这个想法。想想每一个你认为失败的个人，并在今天课程的启发下，认识到这些人对你的帮助。意识到他们生命中以及你生命中对内识的需求。他们通过错误来激发你对内识的承诺。在这方面，他们在为你服务，这要求你的感激而非谴责。他们在教你重视有价值的内识，并放下无意义的事物。不要认为他们没有为你节省时间。他们正在为你节省时间。他们在向你展示你需要学习和接受的内识。因此，感谢他们为教导你内识的价值而承诺他们的福祉。当你重视内识时，这种价值的结果会以回馈的方式给予他们，他们会因你的成就而得到力量并受到尊重。
