只有放下已知，进入未知，才能产生真正的变化；而从一个已知跳到另一个已知，不是真变化。请与我一起领会。

从已知到已知的所谓变化中，存在着权威，存在等级观——你多知，而我无知，所以我崇拜你，我新开体系，我追逐导师，我追随你，因为你能把我所渴求的东西加持给我，给我明确的指引，从而产生结果，取得成功。其实成功是一种已知，我知道什么是成功，我对成功梦寐以求。所以我们从一个已知迈进另一个已知，在这过程中，必然存在权威，比如规条权威、领袖权威、上师、森严等级、知者与惑者，多知的权威必须保证我的努力成功，获得变化，这样我将梦寐成真，欢天喜地。这不正是多数人追求变化的动机吗？

请观察你的思维，你会看清自己的生活方式、行为方式，那是真正的变化吗？真正的变化、变革，是放下已知，进入未知，这其中没有权威，可能会彻底失败。但，如果哪位权威保佑你如愿、成功、快乐、永生，保佑你万事大吉，那么你是在追逐一条世人熟知的修行路，这其实是一条自我中心之路。

Real Change

A change is possible only from the known to the unknown, not from the known to the known. Do please think this over with me.

In the change from the known to the known, there is authority, there is a hierarchical outlook of life—You know, I do not know. Therefore, I worship you, I create a system, I go after a guru, I follow you because you are giving me what I want to know, you are giving me a certainty of conduct that will produce the result, the success and the result. Success is the known. I know what it is to be successful. That is what I want. So we proceed from the known to the known, in which authority must exist—the authority of sanction, the authority of the leader, the guru, the hierarchy, the one who knows and the other who does not know—and the one who knows must guarantee me the success, the success in my endeavor, in change, so that I will be happy, I will have what I want. Is that not the motive for most of us to change?

, and you will see the ways of your own life and conduct…. When you look at it, is that change? Change, revolution, is something from the known to the unknown, in which there is no authority, in which there may be total failure. But if you are assured that you will achieve, you will succeed, you will be happy, you will have everlasting life, then there is no problem. Then you pursue the well-known course of action, which is, yourself being always at the center of things.
