STEP 291 I AM GRATEFUL TO MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS WHO ERR AGAINST ME.

Be grateful to those who demonstrate the need for Knowledge. Be grateful to those who teach you that it is hopeless to engage in any pursuit in the world without Knowledge. Be grateful to those who save you time by demonstrating the results of things you are contemplating for yourself even now. Be grateful to those who show you your own great need in the world. Be grateful to those who demonstrate what you must give to the world. Be grateful to all those who seem to err against you, for they will show you what is necessary in your life, and they will remind you that Knowledge is your one true purpose, your one true goal and your one true expression.

感谢那些让你意识到内识需求的人。感谢那些教会你没有内识，在世界上追求的任何事情都是徒劳的人。感谢那些为你节省时间的人，他们向你展示了你现在正在考虑的事情的结果。感谢那些向你展示你自身在世界上伟大需求的人。感谢那些展示你必须为世界贡献内识的人。感谢所有那些似乎对你犯错的人，因为他们会向你展示你生命中必须具备的内识，并提醒你，内识是你唯一真正的目的、唯一真正的目标和唯一真正的表达。

In this, all who err against you become your friends, for even in their misery they serve you and will call upon you to serve them. Here all folly, error, confusion, ambivalence, conflict and war in the world can lead you to the conviction of Knowledge. In this way, the world serves you, supports you and prepares you to serve it in its great need. Here you become a recipient of the world’s accomplishments and are given a reminder of the world’s errors. In this way, your love and compassion for the world will be engendered.

在这一点上，所有对你犯错的人都会成为你的朋友，因为即使在他们的痛苦中，他们也在为你服务，并将召唤你去服务他们。在这里，所有的愚昧、错误、混乱、矛盾、冲突和战争都能引导你坚定信念，追随内识。通过这种方式，世界为你服务，支持你，并准备你在其伟大的需求中为世界服务。在这里，你成为世界成就的接受者，并获得对世界错误的提醒。通过这种方式，你对世界的爱与同情将得到培养。

Today remind yourself upon the hour of this message and attempt to realize its meaning in the context of all of your activities so that everything that happens today will demonstrate the meaning of today’s idea. In your deeper practice periods, actively engage your mind in attempting to penetrate today’s idea. Recall every person who you think has erred against you. See how that person has served you and will continue to serve you as a reminder. This can save you great amounts of time and energy by bringing you closer to Knowledge, by increasing your resolve for Knowledge and by reminding you that there is no alternative to Knowledge. In your longer practice periods think of every person who you feel has erred against you and realize their tremendous service to you from this point of view.

今天，每时每刻都要提醒你自己这条讯息，并尝试在你所有的活动中意识到它的意义，以便今天发生的每一件事都能展示今天想法的意义。在你更深入的练习期间，积极地运用你的心灵去渗透今天的想法。回忆每一个你认为对你犯错的人。看看那个人是如何为你服务的，并将继续作为提醒为你服务。从这个角度来看，这可以为你节省大量的时间和精力，让你更接近内识，增强你对内识的决心，并提醒你没有任何替代选择可以取代内识。在你较长的练习时间中，思考每一个你认为对你犯下错误的人，并从这个角度意识到他们为你提供的巨大服务。

Allow this day to be a day of forgiveness and a day of acceptance where you recognize and extend your gratitude to those who have erred against you. Life is conspiring to bring you to Knowledge. As you enter Knowledge, you will realize the great service that life is rendering unto you, both from its accomplishments and from its failures. Be a recipient of this gift, for in love and gratitude you will turn to the world and wish to contribute that which is the greatest of all contributions. Here you will give Knowledge in gratitude and in service to the world which has served you.

让今天成为宽恕和接受的一天，在这一天里，你认识并扩展你的感激之情，感谢那些对你犯错的人。生命正在策划让你进入内识。当你进入内识时，你将意识到生命对你所做的伟大服务，无论是从它的成就还是它的失败中。成为这个礼物的接受者，因为在爱与感恩中，你将转向世界，并希望做出最伟大的贡献。在这里，你将以感恩和服务的心态将内识献给曾为你服务的世界。
