理解之门

The door to understanding 

3月24日

若没有任何理解，没有真正深入看见时间的本质即思想和语言，你就无法消除恐惧。由此而产生的问题是：存在没有语言的思想吗？亦或存在没有言词也就是记忆的思想吗？先生，如果没有看到心智的本质、心智的运动，若不经过自我了解的过程，只是说“我必须摆脱它”，没有多大意义。你必须去整个心智的来龙去脉中把握恐惧。要观察、深入探究这一切，你需要能量。能量不是通过吃饭而来——吃饭只是身体需要的一部分。但是，看到——在我说的那种意义上的“看到”——需要巨大的能量；而当你利用言词争论，当你在抵触、谴责，当你心中充满阻碍你观察、看见的意见时，那种能量就被耗费掉了——你的能量完全用于了那种事情。因此，在对这种感知、这种看见的关注中，你再次打开了通向理解的大门。

You cannot wipe away fear without understanding, without actually seeing into the nature of time, which means thought, which means word. From that arises the question: Is there a thought without word, is there a thinking without the word which is memory? Sir, without seeing the nature of the mind, the movement of the mind, the process of self-knowing, merely saying that I must be free of it, has very little meaning. You have to take fear in the context of the whole of the mind. To see, to go into all this, you need energy. Energy does not come through eating food—that is a part of physical necessity. But to see, in the sense I am using that word, requires an enormous energy; and that energy is dissipated when you are battling with words, when you are resisting, condemning, when you are full of opinions which are preventing you from looking, seeing—your energy is all gone in that. So in the consideration of this perception, this seeing, again you open the door.
