第43章 心灵的平静(2)

    When one is really free from thoughts he becomes free from the mind as both are one and the same thing.One comes to see and understand the illusiveness of the mind.When the clouds hide the sun，it is still there，beyond the clouds.Our Essence，our Inner Self，is always here.We only need to remove the sheets and covers that envelope it in order to experience peace and calmness.These sheets and covers are our thoughts，ideas，habits and beliefs.I do not mean to tell you that you have to stop using your mind.You need it in order to carry on your life.I mean that it has to be under the control of the Self.It should be your servant to serve you fight，and not your master.

    当一个人真正摆脱了思想的束缚，心灵也就不再受禁锢，一个人才能认清并懂得心灵的幻觉，因为两者是合二为一并且本质相同的东西。当乌云蔽日时，太阳还在．只不过被云遮住了。我们的本质，内心的真我也一直存在，只是需要除去包裹和封套，才能体会到平静和安宁。这些包裹和封套就是我们的思想、观念、习惯和信仰。我并不是让你停止思考，你需要思考来延续自己的生命。我的意思是，你必须控制自己的思考．它必须是你的仆人，为你服务，而不是你的主人。

    Advice for You don‘t

    You don’t have to fell uncomfortable with words such as Self，Inner Self Essence，Universal Consciousness etc.They may now seem to you meaningless“high”words，but they are not.They symbolize something very real，not hazy concepts.Concentration and meditation make these words meaningful.Advancing on the spiritual path is not something hazy，imaginative and unpractical as some may imagine.By personal experience you will come to really know what I mean.

    Everyone can learn a new language，but not everyone can reach the same level of expertise.Everyone can engage in bodybuilding，painting or writing，but each will reach a different level.It depends on the inner aptitude，the earnestness，and the time devoted to this activity.Yet，everyone can benefit from these activities.So it is with training towards freedom from thoughts.

    达到心灵平静的忠告

    你不必对这些诸如自我、内在本质、普遍意识等词汇反感，现在，它们对于你来说．也许是些“高深莫测”的词，但其实不是。它们象征着一些非常实际的东西，而不是一些朦胧的概念。集中精力和冥思苦想会让它们意味深长。精神之路的探索并不是某些人想像中的那些模糊、虚幻和不切实际的东西。通过亲身经历，你就会明白我的意思。

    每个人都能学会一种新的语言，但不是每个人都能达到相同的专业水平。每个人都可以塑造体型、画画或者写作，但每个人所达到的水平都会有所不同。这取决于内在的才能、认真的程度和从事这项活动投入的时间。然而，从这些活动中，每个人都会有所收获。所以，关于解放思想的培训也是如此。

    Try to calm your mind when you feel agitated.Take a step back in your mind and watch it.This has the tendency to calm and relax the mind.Develop concentration power and meditate.All these actions calm the mind and make it serene.

    Following the suggestions and using the techniques mentioned above will start you on a marvelous journey.Practice，read articles and books on the subject and persevere in your training.One day you may meet someone who may teach you personally，as the saying goes：“When the student is ready，the teacher appears.”

    Try to watch your thoughts during the day，as if they are not yours，without being sucked into them.Become conscious of the fact that you are watching your thoughts.Then this awareness of watching will increase.

    You will have to remind yourself incessantly to practice watching your thoughts，as your mind will probably make you forget.Do not give up and you will succeed.If you practice as often as you can，you will be on the way to success.It may take some time，but the effort is more than worthwhile.
