伟大的存在
我想告诉你
你不必在仰望星空时自认渺小
你不必在面临死亡时惶恐不安
因你不是这个表面上看到的人
你的本质璀璨无边，苍穹不及你的辽阔，星河不及你的浩瀚
你是比你看到的一切都更伟大的存在。
我们想要的一切都可以在我们自身中找到。
我们在这个世界上寻找的所有真正永恒的事物——真正的幸福，
喜悦，平静，光明，空寂——都存在于我们的真实本质之内。
它们一刻都不曾离开过我们，但我们却总是难以企及，
因为我们总是在短暂的、变化无常的事物中寻求满足感。
只有最终在外面找不到了，我们才会转向自身。
尽管这么做并不明智，但几乎每个人都在拖延面对自己的时间。
几千年来，在这个星球上，人类一直在探索，
我们本质上是谁，我们为何存在于此。
许多人找到了他们寻找的，但是无数过去曾经在地球上生活的
被称作“人类”的生命已经不在这里了。
他们离去，现在轮到我们面对这一问题了。
我们是充满活力的生命，我们进入了在这颗星球上用行动表达自己的时代，
我们有机会去发现自己不朽的本质。
所有人都拥有获得真正自由的机会，没有人是例外的，
无论好人坏人，穷人富人，无恶不作者，乐善好施者...
任何人都不会被拒之门外，因这意识之光，已在每个人的心中燃起
社会鼓励我们去从受限的角度看人性——这就像我们总是试图在很不稳定的地基上建立平衡，
因此我们得到了一系列非常不靠谱的观点。
所以你必须从你的内在源头去看。
你是那无限的璀璨，你的浩瀚胜于星空，你的辽阔甚于苍穹——世间的一切都存在于你之内。
透过你内在的宁静去看，而不是从纷乱中去看。
你甚至不必一点一滴去积累，一次前进一点点缓慢的到达终极真理，
你此刻就可以发现你存在之中的空旷和宁静。
在宁静中你将观察到把你的注意力拉向外面世界的各种噪音和人类活动构成的心智流，
生命正因遭到人类毒害而受苦，这毒即是小我之毒。
你选择了这本书，你内在的力量给你带来了，
比你已知的任何事物都更深远的，而且它是如此的简单！
从你静止的地方开始做起，你会看到你寻求的早已经在这里了。
不要把你自己和任何的概念或心智模式联系在一起，
你会发现自己瞬间变的客观，敞开，寂静。
甚至连心智之树都会被这平静中升起的纯粹觉知猛烈摇动。
学着培养这个习惯:把更多注意力放在稳定存在的感觉,
而不是放在想要成为什么的焦虑不安的感觉，因为欲望是无穷无尽的。
开始了解你是永恒的存在。去习惯空虚的感觉，它并不会伤害你。
事实上，通过尊重你的小我，你将进入充满巨大喜悦、平静、爱、信任、活力的境界。
这是真正的自尊，你不会从物质世界失去任何东西，相反它会变的更好，
因为你不再浪费能量，错误的观念离你而去，这是双赢的局面。
我想知道如此简单的事，为什么花费了我们这么多的时间？
世上最甜美的水果难道会比你存在的本质更加美妙吗？
存在本身拥有雷霆万钧之力，它潜藏的能量远远超越了我们所能理解的范畴。
仅仅是这个把注意力转向寂静空旷的空间的简单步骤，就有可能
让我们触碰到这气势磅礴的生命潜能。
是时候丢掉过去的幼稚观念了，现在你要用更多精力去探索什么是真实存在、恒常不易的。
我们的身体受制于时间，总有死去的一天，
但这身体背后却是一个不生不灭，游离于时间之外的存在。
趁着身体还未归于尘土，好好利用这余下的生命重新去发现你那永恒不灭的本质。
The Greatness of Being
I WOULD LIKE to remind you of the greatness of Being,
that all we ever need is to be found in the Self.
All that we seek in this world that is truly lasting — true happiness,
joy, peace, light,space — are inside of us.
They are ever present, but for a while we don’t see them
because we search for fulfillment in the field of the ephemeral, the changeful.
Only at the eleventh hour do we turn to the Self.
Such procrastination is not wise, though it is common
For thousands of years, human beings have been exploring the nature
of who we are and the purpose of our being here on this planet.
Many found what they were searching for, but billions of forms
who were once called “people” are no longer here.
They are gone. And now it is our turn — we are the living wave.
We entered into manifestation to walk on this planet as contemporaries
and to take our chance at finding that which is imperishable in us.
All of us have this opportunity to find true freedom, and no one is exempt,
no one is disqualified, because the light of consciousness burns in everyone.
The world encourages us to look from the limited sense of personhood — a very unstable standpoint from which we arealways trying to find balance on very shaky ground.
But you must learn to look from your source Being.
Your Being is vaster than sky, greater than space — and it is already here.
Look from your stillness, not from your agitation.
You don’t have to go even a fraction of an inch away from where
you are right now to find the silence and stillness of your Being.
And from here you can observe the energetic streams that are pulling your attention to
go out into the field of noise and personhood, where beings are
suffering from person-poison, from the toxicity of ego.
You have picked up this book, and some power within you
has brought you to find something deeper than you have found
so far. And it is so simple! Begin by looking from the place of
your stillness: it is already here. Don’t combine yourself with any
mode of time or any concept, and immediately you will find
yourself in a realm of neutrality, spaciousness, and silence. Even
if the tree of the mind is shaking furiously, that movement is
watched from the place of stillness.
Learn to cultivate this habit of paying more attention to
the stable sense of Being rather than to the agitated sense
of becoming, because the becomings are unending. Get
acquainted with the stability of Being; get used to the feeling
of emptiness. It will not harm you. In fact, by so honoring
your Self, you will come into a field of great joy, peace, love,
trustworthiness, and aliveness. This is true self-respect. You
will lose nothing from the world of activity — it will go better
because you will no longer be wasting energy, and misconceptions
will fall away. It is win-win all the way. I wonder why it
takes us so long? Are the fruits of the world so sweet that they
could compete with the beauty of your own Self?
This is a mighty existence, and it is beyond our human capacities
to comprehend its full potential. But in the simple steps that
are being pointed to here — of reverting the attention back to the
place of stillness and silence within — we may realize that potential.
It is time to leave behind childish attitudes and begin to pay a
little more attention to what is really here. This is a time-body,
a mortal body, but an immortal presence is moving in it.
While the body is still warm, use this bodily life to rediscover your
timeless Being.
