清晰地思考
And what is clear thinking? is it possible to think very clearly if you want to get something out of your thinking?
什么是清晰的思考？如果你想从你的思考中得到一些东西，是否有可能非常清晰地思考？
If your mind is concerned with a result, can you think very clearly?
如果你在意一个结果，你能不能清晰地思考？
Or can you think very clearly only when you are not seeking an end, a result, not trying to gain something?
或者只有当你不寻求目标，不寻求结果，不试图获得某些东西时，你才能清晰地思考？
And can you think clearly if you have a prejudice, a particular belief - that is, if you think as a Hindu, a communist, or a Christian?
如果你有偏见、特定的信仰——也就是说，如果你以印度教徒、gczy者或基督徒的身份思考，您能否清晰地思考？
Surely, you can think very clearly only when your mind is not tethered to a belief as a monkey might be tethered to a stake; you can think very clearly only when you are not seeking a result; you can think very clearly only when you have no prejudice - all of which means, really, that you can think clearly, simply and directly only when your mind is no longer pursuing any form of security and is therefore free of fear.
当然，只有当你的思想不受信念束缚时，你才能非常清晰地思考，就像猴子可能被拴在木桩上一样；只有当你不寻求结果时，你才能非常清晰地思考；只有当你没有偏见时，你才能非常清晰地思考——所有这一切都意味着，实际上，只有当你不再追求任何形式的安全，因此没有恐惧时，你才能清晰、简单和直接地思考。
