STEP 293 I DO NOT WISH TO SUFFER TODAY.

Strengthen your resolve not to suffer today by being a student of Knowledge, by adhering to Knowledge and by devoting yourself to Knowledge. Do not let the world draw you into its meaningless pursuits, into its hopeless endeavors or into its incensed conflicts. All these things still hold attraction for you, yet do not allow yourself to give into them today, for the persuasions of the world are born of the world’s great anxiety and fear. Anxiety and fear are like diseases that affect minds. Do not allow your mind to be so affected today. You do not want to suffer today, and suffer you will if you follow the world’s persuasions. Participate in the world and fulfill your mundane responsibilities, but strengthen your resolve to be a student of Knowledge, for this will free you from all suffering and will give you the greatness that you are intended to give to the world.

通过成为内识的学生,遵循内识并将你自己奉献给内识,来增强你不想受苦的决心。不要让世界将你引入它那无意义的追求中,进入那些无望的努力或充满怒火的冲突。所有这些追求依然对你有吸引力,但今天不要让你自己屈服于它们,因为世界的诱惑源自世界的巨大焦虑和恐惧。焦虑和恐惧就像疾病一样影响着心灵。今天不要让你的心灵被这些影响。你不想要受苦,然而如果你试图在没有内识的情况下投入到世界中,你必然会受苦。参与世界并履行你日常的责任,但要增强你作为内识学生的决心,因为这将使你脱离一切痛苦,并赋予你可以给世界带来的伟大。

Upon the hour confirm that you do not want to suffer today and realize the inevitability of your suffering if you attempt to engage yourself in the world without Knowledge. The world can only remind you of your one great purpose and responsibility now, which is to become a student of Knowledge. Be grateful that the world will support you in the only way that it can, and be grateful that from your Ancient Home, God has extended Grace into the world for you to receive and to learn to give.

每到整点时确认你今天不想要受苦,并意识到如果你试图在没有内识的情况下让你自己融入世界,你的痛苦是不可避免的。世界现在只能提醒你,你唯一伟大的目的和责任,那就是成为内识的学生。感谢这个世界将以它唯一能做的方式支持你,感谢上帝从你古老的家园将恩典延伸到这个世界,让你去接受并学习如何给予。
