《终极自由之路》21.态度和行动

星空

翻译：小粒子儿大天体

Attitude and action in our daily life should be consciously used for growth all the time. When so used there is no time when you are not growing. It is an excellent way of constant and continual growth. Remember, when you are not growing, you are regressing.
我们日常生活中的态度和行动应该一直有意识地被用于成长。那样的话你无时无刻不在成长。记住，当你不成长的时候，就是在倒退。

***

All attitude and action should be in the direction of helping yourself and others toward Realization.
所有的态度和行动都应该指向开悟，以自助和助人的方式。

***

Have an attitude of harmlessness toward all beings and do not want them to behave as you would like. The same thing said positively would be: Have an attitude of love toward all beings and allow them to be the way they are.
对一切存在抱持无害的态度，不要求他们像你希望的那样行动。用正面的说辞就是：对一切存在抱持爱的态度，允许他们按照他们自己的方式行动。

***

To every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. This is the law of compensation, also called karma.
每一个行动都会产生一个相等但相反的反应。这就是回偿法则，也称业力。

***

Daily toil is a waste of time unless you continuously use it to learn what you need to know from the resistances of it. Square it with love, take full responsibility and the resistance melts. The less toil and more quest and realization of Self, the righter the direction and the easier becomes living.
每日的辛劳只是浪费时间，除非你能从对它的抗拒中学会什么。带着爱去做，并负起全责，抗拒就会消散。越少地忙碌奔波，转而更多地寻求并看到真我，就是越正确的方向，生活也会因此变得越容易。

***

Every act and every attitude is a step forward or a step backward.
每一个行动和每一个态度不是前进就是倒退。

***

不要评价他人，让他们评价他们自己。

***

Ill try means I think I can't. That's why trying doesn't accomplish anything but trying. Rather than try, do it!
“我会试试看”意思是“我认为我不能”。这就是为什么试试看只会达成试试看（无法达成其它事）。不要试试看了，直接去做！

If you can't do it yourself, how can you tell someone else how to do it?
如果你连自己都做不到，你还能告诉他人怎么做吗？

***

每一件发生在我们身上的事，都是由我们自己导致的。

***

Spend your time in search of ever-new joy or bliss. Then rest in the eternal serenity of bliss, night and day.
将时间用在对喜悦或极乐的寻求上。剩下的则是待在永恒的宁静中，不分昼夜。

***

Dependency is deadly for growth.
依赖对成长而言是致命的。

***

A dependency relationship does not allow you to think for yourself, admits you are dependent on another human being, and prevents you from seeing your infinity. Conformity is dependency, is having to do what others do, wanting their approval. An independent person is always an oddball, not understood by society.
依赖关系不允许你为自己考虑，承认你对其他人的依赖，并阻止你看到你的无限性。顺从就是依赖，为了想要获得认同，不得不做他人所做的。一个独立的人总是古怪的，无法被社会所理解。

生活应该只由两种事构成，一种是能帮助我们成长的，另一种是能帮助他人成长的。

***

Crying is motivated by a feeling that we cannot do. If we feel that we can do something about it we have no grief. Our thought goes to doing it rather than thinking, Oh, I can't. I'm helpless. If you thought you could do, you wouldn't cry. If you have the determination that you can do, you won't cry. It's good not to give in to grief. Cancel grief when it comes by affirming that you can do.
哭是由做不到的感觉所驱动。如果我们感觉自己能做点什么，就不会有悲哀，因为我们的念头更倾向于去做而不是只想着“哦，我做不到，我很无助”。如果你认为你能做到，你就不会哭泣。如果你下定决心去做，你就不会哭泣。不向悲哀屈服。让悲哀终止吧，在它到来时告诉自己“你能做到”。

***

没有什么事是不好的，只是在回家的路上会犯点错。

***

Advice is ego playing God.

***

Outlook differs according to the sight of the person. In gross eyes, all is gross. In mental eyes, all is mental. If the eye (1) becomes the Self, the eye is infinite and all is seen as your infinite Self.
视角不同，看到的世界也就不同。在粗钝的眼中，一切都是粗钝的。在心智的眼中，一切都是心智的。在真我的眼中，亦是在无限的眼中，一切都被看成是你无限的真我。

***

对待儿童和对待成年人的态度应该是一致的。

***

Behavior is general. We don't behave one way with one person and another way with another.
我们的行为应该是一致的，而不是对一个人一种方式，对另一个人却是另一种方式。

***

Everything one does is motivated from one's basic motivation, therefore one behaves similarly in all situations. Only a freed person doesn't. That is why a freed person is an enigma to others.
一个人所做的每件事都是由他基本的动机所驱动，因此他在所有情境中的表现都会比较类似。只有自由的人不是这样的，这也是为什么自由的人让人难于理解。

Sympathy is something we should never feel as sympathy is supporting the other one in his misery. Compassion is understanding him and wanting the best for him.
我们不应该同情，因为同情是在他人痛苦时给予支持。我们要的是慈悲，因为慈悲是理解他人，为他人着想。

***

If they think that sympathy is love, you have to grant them their right to think that. When they want sympathy there is nothing you should do. You can't join them, so you just let them be.

仅仅是行动，但不关注结果。结果是怎样并不重要。如果是好的，OK；如果是坏的，也OK。不管做什么，都不要对它执着或厌恶，这样你就能超越这个世界。

***

Action does not cause bondage, but the sense of doership does. It is the wrong identifying of yourself as the doer of the action that causes bondage.
行动本身并不会带来束缚，带来束缚的是想要作为的感觉，也就是错误地把自己看成是行动的作为者。

***

It doesn't matter what we do in the world so long as we remember what we are.
只要我们记住我们是什么，那么无论做什么都不重要。

***

If your interest is in God you should talk only God. If one is on the path one should never talk about anything but God or the things necessary in living. Other than that the lips should be sealed. Talking not about God sends you in a downward direction. Anytime you are not talking about God, you are actually talking about the opposite.
如果你的兴趣是上帝，那么你只应该谈论上帝。如果你是走在觉醒之路上，那么永远都只谈论上帝，或者生存所必需的事，其它一概不谈。谈论上帝之外的事只会拖你后腿。任何时候你不是在谈论上帝，就是在谈论跟上帝相反的事。

There is one thing we cannot do and that is to give up our mastership. We only blindly believe we can. We blindly give our power to others to hurt us.
有一件事我们不能做，那就是放弃我们的主人身份。我们只是盲目地相信我们能放弃，盲目地将我们的力量交予他人来伤自己。

***

Discussing good actions and bad actions is discussing whether you should be good in the illusion or bad in the illusion. Realize that there is no illusion!

Escape, by moving away from problems, is not quietude. It's momentarily escaping the disturbance only to meet it again.

你能做的最好的两件事是：持续地问自己“我是什么”，以及成为见证者而非作为者。

***

The greatest act is to only be.
最好的行动就是只是存在。

***

Beingness is higher than doingness, and doingness is higher than havingness.
存在高于作为，作为高于拥有。

***

The more you just be, the more you realize that you are the world, everyone and every thing. The more active you are, the more you are being limited by the particular act you are involved in. You are that personality involved in that act doing that particular thing which is quite infinitesimal in the realm of infinity! The greatest action is in the realm of inaction, being the All. A master is aiding every being on this planet. By his seeing every person as a master he is supporting them as being a master. So seeing and supporting nearly four billion people as masters is quite an activity, isn't it?
你越多地只是存在，你就越能意识到你是整个世界，所有人以及所有一切。你越行动，就越被行动所限，因为你所做的事相对无限的层次是极其微小的！最好的行动是待在无为的层次里，作为整体而存在。大师协助着这个星球上的每一个存在，将所有人都视为大师，以此来支持他们成为大师。所以把70亿人都看成是大师，以此作为对他们的支持，难道不是最佳行动吗？

***

A contented person needs no action. One who is not content must do.
一个感到满足的人不需要行动，不满足的人才会行动。

***

In Reality, there's nothing to be done, nothing to be achieved. If you can realize that, you've got it made!
在实相中，没有什么需要做，没有什么需要达成。如果你能意识到这点，你就圆满了。

***

The best behavior is that which is in accordance with the way a master would act, dispassion, seeing all as equals, being the witness, being not the doer. Maintain the state which is natural in the realized state!
最好的行为方式是像大师一样行为，视一切为平等，成为见证者而非作为者。保持这种状态，你就自然地进入开悟的状态。

***

Be what you really are! Be your Self!
成为你所是！成为你的真我！

***

You can be, - when there is no striving!
当你不再努力时，你就成为了真我！

***

All behavior should be that which is characteristic of the egoless state or the state of the Self: changelessness, equal mindedness; seeing only the Self, seeing only perfection; having the same attitude toward good and bad fortune, identifying with all, indifference to praise or censure; having joy only in your Self, having complete passivity, complete humbleness; being not the doer, having desirelessness, dispassion, non-attachment, forbearance.
所有行为都应该反映无我或真我的特性：恒定的，视一切为平等，只看到真我，只看到完美，对好运坏运无分别心，认同一切，对褒贬漠不关心，只在真我中幸福，完全被动，不再作为，彻底臣服，无欲无求，冷静，不执著，包容一切。
