完整的理解

要把握生活中复杂的问题及其冲突和悲伤,必须要有完整的理解

I am laying emphasis on relationship because in comprehending deeply its complexity we are creating understanding, an understanding that transcends reason and emotion.

我强调关系,因为在深入理解它的复杂性时,我们正在创造理解,一种超越理性和感性的理解。

If we base our understanding merely on reason then in it there is isolation, pride, and lack of love, and if we base our understanding merely on emotion, then in it there is no depth, there is only a sentimentality which soon evaporates, and no love.

如果我们的理解仅仅基于理性,那么其中就有孤立、骄傲和缺乏爱;如果我们仅仅基于感性来理解,那么其中就没有深度,只有很快就会蒸发的多愁善感,也没有爱。

From this understanding only can there be completeness of action.

只有这样的理解才能有完整的行动。

This understanding is impersonal and cannot be destroyed.

这种理解是非个人的,不能被破坏。

It is no longer at the behest of time.

它不再是时间的命令。

If we cannot bring forth understanding from the everyday problems of greed and of our relationship, then to seek such understanding and love in other realms of consciousness is to live in ignorance and illusion.

如果我们不能从贪婪和我们关系的日常问题中获得理解,那么在其他意识领域寻求这种理解和爱就是生活在无知和幻想中。

Without fully understanding the process of greed, merely to cultivate kindliness, generosity, is to perpetuate ignorance and cruelty; without integrally understanding relationship, merely to cultivate compassion, forgiveness, is to bring about self-isolation and to indulge in subtle forms of pride.

没有充分了解贪婪的过程,仅仅培养仁慈、慷慨,就是使无知和残忍永存;没有完整的理解关系,仅仅培养同情心、宽恕,就会导致自我孤立并沉迷于微妙的骄傲。

In understanding craving fully, there is compassion, forgiveness.

在完全理解渴望中,有慈悲、宽恕。

Cultivated virtues are not virtues.

培养的美德不是美德。

This understanding requires constant and alert awareness, a strenuousness that is pliable; mere control with its peculiar training has its dangers, as it is one-sided, incomplete, and therefore shallow.

这种理解需要持续警觉的觉知,大量的柔忍;仅仅通过特殊训练进行控制有其危险,因为它是片面的、不完整的,因此是肤浅的。

Interest brings its own natural, spontaneous concentration in which there is the flowering of understanding.

兴趣带来了它自己自然的、自发的专注,其中有理解的绽放。

This interest is awakened by observing, questioning the actions and reactions of everyday existence.

这种兴趣是通过观察、质疑日常生活的行为和反应而唤醒的。

To grasp the complex problem of life with its conflicts and sorrows one must bring about integral understanding.

要把握生活中复杂的问题及其冲突和悲伤,必须要有完整的理解。
