Most of you dont realize that every day you are presented with wonderful opportunities to make major steps in your growth. Were you to look at and see this, the Goal that seems so difficult and elusive would soon be in your possession. A waken to this fact and be done with worldly miseries!
你们很多人都没有意识到每一天都可以是成长的机会。如果你能看到这一点，那么看起来像是困难重重的觉醒目标，你也可以很快达成，尘世的痛苦也能因此很快结束。

To do this, you must accept the worldly happenings as they relate to you, your means of growth, even as your teacher. You must look at all the unpleasantries; you must face them squarely with an objective eye and you must seek and find their cause.
为能做到这一点，你必须接受世俗所发生的一切都与你和你的成长有关，把它们看成是你的老师。你必须直面所有不愉快的事件，以客观的眼光看待它们，必须找出导致这些事件的根源所在。

The method should be either or both of two approaches. Whenever someone or something bothers you and you 'are unhappy, or whenever you react to someone or something, ask yourself, How and wherein did I cause this? Look within your mind to find the past thought, now subconscious, that caused the event. Discover the originating thought in you and you discover your mastership over the event.
以下两种方法，你可以采用其一，也可以双管齐下。每当某人或某事让你烦心时，或者你对它们起反应时，问问自己：我是如何导致它们的？深入你的头脑，去找出潜意识中你过去的相关念头，看看它们是如何导致该事件的。发现最初的那个念头，你会发现自己就是该事件的罪魁祸首。

The second approach is more readily available to you. Every time you react or experience something unpleasant, it is always because of some ego motivation. Ask yourself, What is my ego (selfish) motivation behind this? What in this situation do I want to be different from what it is? When you discover it, drop it and be freer. Use your daily unpleasantries for growing freer every day. The more you do this, the faster and easier it is to do.
第二个方法对你更加有用。每次你经历不愉快的事件或对不愉快的事件起反应时，往往是因为小我的驱动。问问自己，背后小我的动机是什么？我到底想要怎么样？当你发现那是什么时，释放它，你会更自由。利用每天的不愉快事件来成长。你做得越多，就会越快越容易。

Either or both of the above methods will free you and return to you your mastership in a relatively short time. Make it a habit of using both, or one or the other, every day.
以上两种方法，会让你在较短的时间内得到解脱，重新坐回你的主人位置。每天都做练习，让它或它们成为你的习惯。

Whenever you're unhappy do not look for escape from it via distraction, doing something else, or seeking entertainment. This is the worst thing you can do. You will never be able to let go of or eliminate unhappiness. Either discover your mastership of the event or see the ego motivation behind the misery and there by undo that particular unhappiness. Almost everyone, when unhappy, looks for escape and calls the escape or relief from the misery, happiness. This allows the unhappiness pattern to continue in the future. It postpones the time indefinitely as to when one will have to eliminate the unhappiness. Escape is the worst palliative in the world, worse than drugs. Every escape is a complete waste of time and a further continuing and holding onto misery. The more you feel misery, the deeper it becomes ingrained. Therefore one should not escape from nor remain in misery, but should use one of the above two methods to get out of it permanently.
每当你不开心时，不要通过转移注意力来寻求逃避，不要通过做其它事或是娱乐来逃避。这是你能做的最糟糕的事情，因为你永远无法借此释放或消除不愉快。发现你是事件的主人，或者看清痛苦背后小我的动机，如此便能解除那份不愉快。几乎每个人在不开心的时候都会寻求逃避来缓解，这让痛苦得以延续到未来，让消除痛苦的时机无限期滞后。逃避是这世界最糟糕的缓和剂，比毒品还糟。每一次逃避都是浪费时间，让痛苦更进一步。逃避只会让痛苦更加根深蒂固。因此你不应该逃避痛苦，或是继续待在痛苦中，而是利用以上两种方法来永久地摆脱痛苦。

All unhappiness is caused by our trying to be limited, an ego. The more we are our Self, the happier we are. We will never be completely happy until we are completely being our Self.
所有的不愉快都来自你想要成为有限制的小我。我们越是我们的真我，就越幸福。完全地成为真我，就能彻底幸福。

***

Why waste time in entertainment, escape? Looking to entertainment each time delays and pushes the Goal a bit further away. Only a realized non-attached being can enjoy things in the world without creating bondages and miseries.
为什么把时间浪费在娱乐上？每次寻求娱乐消遣，都把觉醒往后推延。只有完全开悟的存在才能在不制造束缚和痛苦的同时享受这世界上的东西。

A person cannot be happy if he has inner anxieties. Anxieties are expecting to happen that which you do not want to happen. Expect only that which you do want.

The more miserable you get, the less you should look for an escape (socializing, entertainment). Rather isolate until you see and let go of the reason for it, or move into your real Self. Never let go of, through escape from misery, a good opportunity to grow.
你越痛苦，就越不应该逃避（通过社交或娱乐）。反而要独处，直到你看清痛苦的根源并释放它，或者进入了你的真我。永远不要通过逃避来解除痛苦，痛苦是成长的契机。

***

Misery is just the whip we set up to whip ourselves into happiness.
痛苦就是我们手持的鞭子，为了鞭笞自己进入幸福。

The more we move away from our Self, the more miserable we become until finally we get so miserable that we cannot take it any more and then we begin to move back into our Self.

Every time you feel restless or unhappy, there is ego desire behind it. If you can get it up into view, you'll let go of it with a chuckle.
