1978年7月20日


0:27 What shall we talk about? If I may, I would like to go into the question of what does it mean, not merely words or ideas, that a human being, as we are, should bring about a deep, profound change in himself. What does that mean? We are using the word ‘change,’ not from this to that but, rather, bringing about a transformation or a mutation in the very structure of our consciousness. That I would like to talk about, if you will permit me. Because we human beings seem to remain in our traditions, culture, social, economic structure, and psychologically, inwardly follow a certain pattern for the rest of our life, whether it be sexual, imaginary, fanciful, mythological, or a very matter-of-fact, worldly life. 3:10 That seems to be the pattern of our existence. Either, we are very worldly – I mean by that word ‘worldly,’ very superficial, living only at the level of the senses, with money, position, freedom, casual freedom, indulgence and so on – superficially. And recognising what society is, what the economic structure is, there are those who want a bloody revolution along a certain ideology, a physical upsetting of the whole apple-cart. You know what I mean by the apple-cart? Yes. Not actually apples, but the idea of it. 4:17 And they have tried every kind of physical, economic revolution. And, apparently, that hasn’t brought about a change in man – control the environment, impose certain economic laws, impose according to totalitarian beliefs and ideologies and so on. They have tried every form, every means, or every structure, economic, social, cultural, to bring about a fundamental change in man. Religions have tried it. Right? They say, ‘Forget yourself and give yourself over to Christ’ – or this person or that person. Or, surrender yourself to some guru – which is very convenient for the guru. 5:42 And so on. And, apparently, from everything one observes, and this observation is not casual, or according to one’s desire, but if one has observed very closely, deep down, fundamentally, man has not changed for millennia upon millennia. 0:27 我们应该来谈点什么呢? 如果可以的话, 我想要来探讨一下这个问题: 那就是「改变」是什么意思 ——不仅仅是字面上或概念上的意思, 也就是:作为人类,我们应该 为自己的内在带来一种深刻的、 巨大的「改变」。 而这意味着什么呢? 我们正在使用的「改变」这个词 ——它并不是指:从这个东西变成那个东西, 而是指:为我们意识的结构 带来一种「转变」或「突变」。 这就是我想要探讨的东西 ——如果你们也允许的话。 因为我们人类似乎一直受困于我们传统、 文化、社会和经济的结构中, 而心理上、内心层面, 我们则会在余生中去遵从某种模式 ——无论它是性爱的模式, 还是想象、幻想、神话的模式, 抑或是讲求实际的模式, 那种世俗生活。 3:10 这似乎就是我们生活的方式。 我们要么是非常世俗的 ——我所说的“世俗”这个词的意思是: 非常肤浅表面, 只生活于感官感觉的层面, 金钱、地位、自由——偶尔的自由, 放纵沉迷,等等——肤浅表面的生活。 而在认识到了社会是什么、 经济结构是什么以后, 有那么一些人,他们会想要一场血腥的革命, 遵循某种意识形态的革命, 从外在物理层面颠覆全部的秩序。 你们应该知道我所说的“秩序(apple-cart:苹果车)” 是什么意思吧? 很好。 不是真的苹果,只是它的引申含义。 4:17 这些人已经尝试过了各种外在物理层面的、 经济上的革命。 然而很显然,这也未能带来人类内在的改变 ——控制「环境」, 强制实行某些经济法规, 强行灌输极权主义者的信仰、 意识形态 等等。 他们已经尝试过了每一种形式、 每一种方法, 或者每一种结构 ——经济的、社会的、文化的结构—— 希望由此能够带来人心的根本性改变。 各种宗教已经尝试过它了。 是吧? 它们说,“忘掉你自己吧,把自己交托给基督” ——或者交托给这个人或那个人。 又或者,让自己臣服于某个古鲁 ——对于古鲁来说,这样就会方便很多。 5:42 等等此类事情。 而很显然,从我们所观察到的一切来看 ——这种观察并不是随意的, 或者是依据个人的渴望而来的, 如果我们已经非常密切地观察过了它, (就会发现)从根本上而言,从内心深处来说, 虽然经历了数千年,但人类并没有什么改变。
6:14 Now, we are asking, is it possible to bring about a fundamental, psychological revolution? Not just trimming the tree here and there, but deep, abiding, enduring, irrevocable change, transformation? Because we are not happy as we are. I don’t know why we live the way we do. We are, generally, miserable, in conflict, jealousy, anxiety, fear – we have been through all that. We accept all that. We are conditioned according to that. If you live in a totalitarian state, after a certain time you get used to it. You accept all the restraints and the compulsions and the terror and all that. So, is it possible for a human being to bring about an enduring transformation? That’s what we’re going to – if I may – we’re going to talk about that. 6:14 所以,我们就要问了:我们是否可能 带来一场根本性的、心理上的革命? 不只是对那棵树的某些枝节修修剪剪。 而是一种深刻的、持久的、持续的、 不可撤销的改变、转变? 因为就我们的现状来说,我们并不幸福。 我不知道为什么我们要这样子生活。 通常来说,我们都是很痛苦的, 陷入于冲突、嫉妒、焦虑、恐惧之中 ——我们已经经历了所有这些东西。 我们接受了所有这一切,并被它们所制约。 如果你生活在一个极权国家, 那么在经过一段时间以后, 你就会习惯它了。 你会接受所有那些限制、强制、 恐怖活动,等等这一切。 所以,对于人类来说,他是否可能 带来一次持久的「转变」呢? 这就是我们将要来……——如果可以的话—— 我们将会来讨论它。
8:08 One should ask this question of oneself: why we human beings live the way we are doing? And can we live in this world, bringing about this fundamental, psychological revolution or transformation and yet live in this world, sanely, rationally, with an occupation and all the rest of it? May we go into that – if you’re interested in it, and I hope you are. 8:08 我们应该问问自己这个问题: 为什么我们人类要像现在这样子生活? 而我们能否生活在这个世界上, 带来这种根本性的、 心理上的革命或转变, 同时也能够心智健全地、 理性地、带着职业工作等等 而生活于俗世呢? 我们可以来探讨一下它吗 ——如果你们对此感兴趣的话, 我希望你们有兴趣。
9:00 First of all, the Western world has divided consciousness, the unconscious, deeper, and the superficial, conscious. And one may, temporarily, bring about a modified change in the obvious, superficial consciousness. That superficial consciousness can adjust itself to anything, to terror, to wars, to all the travail of human beings, superficially. And the unconscious, the deeper, the hidden layers of the mind – the mind being consciousness and we are using that word ‘mind’ which we have explained, carefully, which we won’t go into further – and that deep, unconscious entity is part of the race, part of the deep, unconscious demands, fears and a sense of deep sorrow. 11:09 I think it is a great mistake to divide consciousness into these departments: conscious and the unconscious. Consciousness is whole. You may divide it for convenience, for exploration, for investigation, but as long as one maintains this divisive consciousness, the consciousness which is broken up into the deeper and the higher, there is not only conflict but also, if one goes into it, a sense of the abiding past, always controlling, shaping the present. You’re following? 9:00 首先,西方世界已经对「意识」进行了划分, 把它分成“潜意识”——那种更深层的意识—— 和肤浅表面的“显意识”。 而我们也许可以暂时带来一种 “修正后”的改变 ——给肤浅表面的意识带来一种改变。 那种表层意识可以调整自己 去适应于任何事物, 适应恐怖活动、战争 以及人类所有的艰难困苦——表面上适应它。 而潜意识,那种更深层的意识, 那些头脑隐藏着的层面 ——「头脑」就是意识, 我们只是在这里使用“头脑”这个词。 我们已经仔细解释过了「头脑」的意思, 这里就不展开讲了—— 而那个深层次的、无意识的存在体 则是种族(遗传)的一部分, 是那种深层的、潜意识里的需求、恐惧, 以及深重苦难的一部分。 11:09 但我认为这种划分是一个巨大的错误 ——也就是将「意识」划分为不同的部分: 显意识和潜意识。 因为「意识」是一个整体。 你也许可以为了方便、 为了便于探索和研究而划分它, 然而只要我们还是维持着这种意识的分裂 ——「意识」已经分裂为了低级意识和高级意识—— 那么我们不但会有冲突, 此外,如果你探究一下它的话, 你还会有一种感觉:那个“永久存在”的「过去」 总是在控制和塑造着「当下」。 你们跟上了吗?
12:19 Now, please, as I said, as we said, the speaker is not here. You’re asking these questions yourselves. And we are using words that are common. And we are not being driven by the words. You may have read psychological books and have certain jargons, certain ideas, and those ideas, those words, drive you, control you, control your thinking, control your reactions and so on. If you do that, our communication with each other becomes extremely difficult. Whereas, if we use the word without all its associations, which our education, our reading has brought about, emotionally or not, if we can use the word plainly, simply then we are in communication with each other. Right? And I hope you will do this while we are talking, together. 12:19 现在,请注意,就如我说过的——就如我们说过的—— 这里并没有什么“演讲者”。 你们是在向自己提出这些问题。 我们所使用的文字词语都是很平常的。 所以我们并不会被语言文字所驱使操纵。 你也许读过了那些心理学书籍, 因而了解了某些术语和特定概念, 因此这些概念、这些词语就会“驱使操纵”你, 它们会控制你,控制你的思考, 控制你的反应 等等。 如果你是这样做的话,那我们彼此之间的交流 就会变得极其困难了。 然而,如果我们可以使用词语文字 而不要带着它所有关联引申的含义 ——这些关联引申的含义是我们的教育和阅读 通过情感的方式、或非情感的方式所带来的, 如果我们可以简单地、朴素地使用这些词语, 我们彼此之间就会产生交流。 好吧?我希望在我们一起交谈的过程中, 你们可以这样去做。
13:45 Now, can the unconscious, the deeper, be revealed? Or revealed totally, completely, exposed to the bright light of perception? Or must it be investigated through dreams, through occasional hunch, occasional intimation, or some form of intuition? I, personally, don’t like that word ‘intuition’ because you can have an intuition about anything, it may be your own desire, prompting you to have certain feeling about something. So, we are not using that word at all. So, is it possible to investigate without analysis the whole content of the deeper layers of one’s mind? Do you understand my question? Please, follow! It’s your life, not mine. 13:45 现在来看,潜意识、深层意识 可以被揭示出来吗? 或者说完全地、完整地被揭示出来, 暴露在洞察的“聚光灯”下? 还是说,我们一定要通过梦境来研究它? 通过偶尔闪现的“预感”、偶尔获得的暗示, 或者某种形式的“直觉”来探究它? 就我个人而言, 我并不喜欢“直觉”这个词, 因为对于任何事物, 你都可以拥有某种“直觉”, 但这种“直觉”可能是你自己的欲望, 这种欲望促使你对于某个事物 拥有了“某种感觉”。 所以,我们是绝不会使用这个词语的。 那么,我们是否可能 不借助「分析」去探究 自己头脑深层意识中的全部内容呢? 你们理解我的问题了吗? 请跟上我的思路!这是你的生活,而不是我的。
15:28 Since the psychologists have divided this, the conscious mind thinks it can investigate into the unconscious. It can then proceed to analyse its dreams, its superficial activities, its reactions, always from the superficial, from the conscious delve into the unconscious. Right? And in that there’s a great deal of danger because the conscious mind is full of imaginary, sensory demands, beliefs and so on. With all that, it is trying to investigate something which is hidden. You are following this? And there are those people who try to investigate their reactions, their actions and so on in a group, telling each other, which is the same as talking to oneself. 17:07 You are following all this? And this division is always maintained. So, there is always conflict between the outer and the inner: the outer being conscious, the superficial, and the deeper. I do not know if you have not noticed all this. You don’t have to go to any psychologist, philosopher or any professional specialist in psychology, you can observe all this in yourself, if you know how to read yourself. And most of us haven’t got either the energy or the interest, or the demand that says, ‘I must find out.’ But when there is a crisis, then we go to some specialist, hoping he will solve our problems. 18:29 So, we are always dependent on somebody. And he on whom you depend is equally conditioned, perhaps much more divisive, a little more neurotic and has to be analysed by another analyser and so on, the game goes on. This is what we are doing: depending on somebody to tell us what to do, how to think, how to move out of our own problems, out of our own desperate crises. 15:28 由于心理学家已经划分了意识, 于是「显意识头脑」认为 自己能够去研究「潜意识」。 然后它还可以更进一步地 去分析自己的梦境、 自己肤浅表面的活动以及各种反应, 我们永远都是经由表层意识、 经由显意识去探究「潜意识」。 对吧? 然而在这之中存在着巨大的危险, 因为「显意识头脑」 它充满了各种幻想的、感官上的欲求 信仰 等等。 它带着所有这些东西, 试图去探究某种深藏着的事物。 你们跟上这些了吗? 然后还有一些人,他们试图在一个团体中 去探究自己的各种「反应」、 各种行为 等等——团体中的成员互相倾述, 但这和一个人自言自语并没有什么区别。 17:07 你们理解所有这些了吗? 而我们始终保持着这种分裂。 所以,「外在」和「内在」之间总是会有冲突: 「外在」就是显意识、表层意识…… 它和深层意识会有冲突。 我不知道你们是否也注意到了这一切。 你并不需要去找某个心理医生、 哲学家或任何心理学领域的专家, 你可以在自己内心 就观察到所有这些东西 ——如果你知道如何“阅读”你自己这本书的话。 然而我们大多数人既没有能量或兴趣, 也没有那种强烈需求,说,“我必须要发现它”。 而当危机出现的时候,我们便会去找某个“专家”, 希望他可以解决我们的问题。 18:29 所以,我们总是在依赖于某人。 而你所依赖的那个人, 他同样也是局限的, 也许还比你更加……分裂,比你更神经质一点, 他也需要去找另一个分析者 来分析一下自己。 以此类推,这个游戏就这样继续下去了。 这就是我们正在做的事情: 依赖于别人来告诉我们该怎么做, 该如何去思考,如何摆脱掉我们自己的各种问题, 摆脱掉我们自身极其严重的危机。
19:55 Now, is it possible to observe our consciousness, not at two broken levels, but totally? You understand my question? Can I observe my consciousness, not as the unconscious and the conscious but as a total unit, not divided, but a thing that is intrinsically whole? Right? Is it possible to so observe? You understand my question? It is only possible when I understand, very clearly, that this division is artificial, perhaps convenient and perhaps it might explain certain neurotic activities but, actually, it is totally brought about by man, by thought. I don’t know if I’m… Right? Are we following each other? You’re asking these questions, yourself, I’m not asking you to ask them. 19:55 所以,我们是否可能 去观察自己的「意识」 ——不是在两个割裂的层面上去观察,而是整体性地去观察它? 你们明白我的问题吗? 我能否以这样的方式去观察我的意识: 也就是不要把它分成“潜意识”和“显意识”, 而是将其作为一个整体性的单位。 不是分裂的事物,而是一个内在本质上 完整一体的事物? 好吗? 我们是否可能这样子去观察呢? 你们理解我的问题了吗? 要让这种观察成为可能, 只有当我非常清楚地明白 那种划分是人为的——它也许只是为了方便起见, 它或许解释了某些神经病患者的行为, 但实际上,它(这种划分)也完全是由 人自己、由思想所带来的。 我不知道我是否已经……对吧? 我们彼此理解对方了吗? 是你在问这些问题——向你自己提问, 而不是我在要求你去问它们。
21:57 So, we are asking: is it possible to observe without any direction, without any distortion, this whole movement of consciousness? It is possible only when you have no direction. Which means the moment you have a motive you give it a direction. Right? The moment you want to get something out of it, it becomes distorted. If you say, ‘Well, I must go beyond this limited entity’ – the very desire that wants to go beyond this limit is born out of its own conditioning, therefore, it is still distorted. I hope you’re following all this. 23:17 So, is it possible to observe, without direction, without motive, without reward and punishment is that possible? Don’t say, ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ One has to find that out for oneself, for yourself. Can you observe your wife, your girl, whatever it is you’re observing, without a motive, without a direction, without wanting something out of it? Which means, then your whole attention is there because there’s no deviation. You’re following this? Then you are completely alert and aware. And then, only, it is possible to observe this whole phenomenon of consciousness in action. 24:58 And can you observe without all that? So, we say, ‘As it is not possible to do it, instantly, I will practise, I’ll gradually, day after day, cultivate attention.’ Right? Practise a sense of awareness which is the essence of sensitivity. To be so tremendously sensitive. If you’re not sensitive, you can’t be attentive, so you practise sensitivity, a kind of – you know. We are monkeys, really. Which means, we haven’t basically understood that wherever there is an intention, a desire, a cultivation in order to do something then, that kind of mentality is devoid, entirely, of sensitivity, attention. 26:42 I hope you are doing all this. Are we doing this as we’re talking to each other? Not tomorrow or another day but, actually, as you’re sitting there, talking together, will you do this? Are you doing it? No direction, no motive, no desire for reward for doing something, if you don’t do it, punishment, to be totally out of that field, altogether. 21:57 所以,我们正在问:我们是否可能 没有任何方向、没有任何扭曲地去观察 意识的全部运动? 只有当你没有了方向的时候, 它才是可能的。 这意味着,一旦你有了一个动机, 你就赋予了它一个方向。 对吧? 一旦你想要从中获得某些东西, 你的观察就扭曲了。 如果你说,“啊,我必须超越这个局限的实体” ——那么这种想要超越局限的渴望本身 它也是源自于个体自身的局限的, 因此,这种渴望仍然是扭曲的。 我希望你们跟上了这一切。 23:17 所以,我们是否可能没有方向、 没有动机、没有奖励和惩罚地去观察? 这可能吗? 不要说“可能”或者“不可能”。 你必须要亲自去发现它,为自己去发现它。 你能否以这样的方式去观察你的妻子、 你的女朋友——无论你在观察的是什么—— 那就是不带动机、没有方向, 也不渴望“从中获得什么”地去观察? 这意味着:那时你全部的注意力都在那上面, 因为你不再会偏离了。 你们理解它了吗? 那时你是完全警觉和觉察的。 也只有那时,你才可能在行动中去观察 意识的全部现象。 24:58 所以你能够去除掉所有这些东西而去观察吗? 于是我们就会说,“由于我不可能立即做到它, 所以我将会去练习,我会日复一日地、 逐步地培养起这种「注意」”。 对吧? 去练习“觉察力”——这种觉察 就是「敏感」的本质。 对吧? 去变得如此高度地敏感。 如果你不敏感,你就无法保持「注意」, 于是你们又会去“练习”敏感, 这就像是一种……你懂的。 我们其实就和猴子一样。 这意味着,我们并没有从根本上理解这一点: 那就是每当有了意图、有了渴望, 想要去“培养练习”以便能够做某事, 那么,这种心态就会 完全地扼杀那种「敏感」与「注意」了。 26:42 我希望你们正在这么做。 在我们彼此交谈的时候, 我们在这样做吗? 不是在明天或者未来某一天, 而是此刻当你坐在那儿的时候、 在我们一起交谈的时候,就切实地去这样做, 你会这么做吗? 你正在这样做吗? 没有方向、没有动机、 也不渴望通过做某事而获得奖励, 或者如果你不做某事就会受到惩罚, 而是完全彻底地脱离这个范畴。
27:24 Then, is there an observation of the whole nature and the structure, the complex movement of consciousness, as a whole? Then, only, it is possible to bring about real, deep, fundamental transformation, because in that, there is no positive action. We explained that, what we mean by positive action. That is, try to do something about your consciousness, try to force it, try to control it, try to expand it, suppress it. Consciousness means all its contents, your angers, your desires, your sexual demands, your beliefs, dogmas, belonging to a certain culture, all that is part of consciousness. 28:40 To observe it, as most people are, if they do observe, try to do something about it. That is, ‘I must be free of the Church’ and in freeing themselves from a particular, organised religious body, they topple into another religious body and think they have changed, tremendously. It’s the same pattern, repeated over and over again. 27:24 所以,是否存在着这样一种观察: 它可以将「意识」复杂的活动视为一个整体, 并看到它的全部本质和结构? 只有那时,我们才有可能带来一种 真正的、深刻的、根本性的「转变」, 因为在它之中是没有“积极行动”的。 我们已经解释过了 我们所说的“积极行动”是什么意思。 也就是:努力对你的「意识」去做一些事情, 努力去强迫它,努力去控制它, 努力去膨胀它、压抑它。 「意识」指的就是所有意识的内容: 你的愤怒、你的渴望、你的性需求、 你的信仰、教条,你所归属于的文化, 所有这些都是意识的一部分。 28:40 去观察「意识」,然而就如大多数人所做的那样, 如果他们真的去观察了, 他们便会试图对「意识」“做一些事情”。 也就是,他会说“我必须要摆脱教会”, 而在让自己脱离了某个特定的、 组织化的宗教团体后, 他们转而又会加入另一个宗教团体, 然后认为自己已经有了翻天覆地的改变。 这种同样的模式 已经重复了一遍又一遍。
29:18 So, can you observe this whole movement? Or must you take each reaction, bit by bit? You understand my question? I think it’s clear. I’m making it clear. If I am sexual, I’m concerned about that. If I am worried about my relationship to my wife, not only sexually but in other ways, I’m concerned about that. I’m concerned about my health. We lay emphasis on one thing and neglect the others. Right? We must have perfect health and, therefore, you become a vegetarian and God knows what else and become neurotic about it. 30:34 This is what we’re doing, all the time. Go to India to find God, or enlightenment. You know, there’s a lovely story from India: a young man leaves his family, goes to various teachers, all over India, and asks them to teach him truth. He wanders about thirty, forty, fifty years and doesn’t find it. And, ultimately, as an old man, he comes back to his house. And he knocks on the door and the door is opened by somebody and just then, he sees the truth! You understand? It’s there, not over there. 29:18 所以,你能否去观察这整个运动? 还是说,你一定要一点一点地 去观察研究每一个反应? 你们明白我的问题了吗? 我认为这个问题是很清楚的。 我已经把它说清楚了。 如果我是充满性欲的, 那我就会关心这个东西。 如果我担忧我和我妻子的关系 ——不只是性方面的关系,也包括其他方面的关系, 那我就会很关注它。 我很关注我的健康。 我们会强调某个东西 而忽略掉其他的东西。 对吧? 我们必须要拥有完美的健康, 于是你就变成了一名素食者 或者天知道什么别的东西, 然后我会为此而变得神经质。 30:34 这就是我们一直在做的事情。 前往印度去寻找神明或者“开悟”。 你瞧,印度有这么一个有趣的故事: 一个年轻人弃绝了他的家庭, 去印度各地寻访不同的老师, 并请求这些老师教导他“真理”。 他就这样四处拜访,过了大约三十年、 四十年或五十年,但他仍旧没有找到“真理”。 最后,已经年老的他回到了自己的家中。 他敲了敲家门,然后有人把门打开了, 就在那时,他看到了「真理」! 你们理解了吗? 真理就在这里,而不是在远处。
31:43 We were talking, the day before yesterday, about the whole question of what love is. And can this totality of consciousness, which is made up of the incidents, accidents, knowledge, practice, beliefs, anxiety, and so on, so on, so on, can this consciousness live or understand what love is? You understand? Our consciousness, obviously, is put together by thought. And thought, if you have gone into it, is limited, time-binding, and so can this consciousness, which is the result of centuries of various reactions and dangers and so on and so on, pleasure, fears and so on, can that consciousness contain the thing that we call love? 33:09 You understand my question? Or love lies beyond that consciousness? Which means, thought has no relationship, whatsoever, with love. Right? Do you see the truth of it, not the idea of it, the actuality of it? Therefore, it becomes extraordinarily important if you want to find out what that extraordinary thing called love is, that there must be a transformation in our consciousness. How is this possible? Without effort, that means motive, without any strain, without any exercising of thought in order to go beyond itself – is this possible? 31:43 我们前天讨论了 关于“什么是「爱」”的整个问题。 以及整个意识是否能够 ——「意识」是由各种事件、意外、 知识、练习、信仰、焦虑 等等 等等 所组成的—— 那么这个「意识」能否经历体验「爱」, 或者了解什么是「爱」呢? 你们明白了吗? 我们的「意识」很显然 就是由「思想」所拼凑起来的。 而如果你深入探究一下「思想」, (你就会发现)思想是局限的、是被「时间」所束缚的, 所以,这种「意识」是否能够 ——这种「意识」就是无数世纪以来的 各种反应、各种危险、 等等……各种快感、恐惧 等等的产物, 那么这样的「意识」,它可能会包含 那个我们称之为「爱」的东西吗? 33:09 你们听懂我的问题了吗? 还是说,「爱」是超越那种「意识」的? 这意味着,「思想」和「爱」是没有任何关系的。 对吗? 你是否看到了这其中的真相, 不是关于它的观点理念,而是它的事实性? 因此,这件事就变得无比重要了 ——如果你想要发现 那个被称为「爱」的非凡之物是什么的话—— 那重要的事情就是 我们的意识必须要有一次「转变」。 那么这种「转变」要如何才可能实现呢? 没有努力——努力意味着动机、 没有任何紧张压力、 也不动用思想试图去超越它自身 ——这可能吗?
35:00 You know, to find this out is part of meditation. That is, can this consciousness become completely empty, except in the area where knowledge is necessary? Do you understand what I’m talking? Will you come? Are we meeting each other, some of us, at least? That is, can thought, with all its activity, end, except in that limited area? That is the art of perception. The art of perception, the seeing, is to give everything its place. 35:00 你瞧,去发现这一点便是「冥想」的一部分。 换句话说,这种意识能否完全“清空” ——而只在需要知识的情况下运作? 你们理解我在说什么吗? 你们会这么做吗? 我们是否达成共识了 ——至少我们中的一些人有了共识? 换句话说,思想及其所有的活动能否消停 ——而只在有限的范围里运作? 这就是「洞察的艺术」。 洞察的艺术、看的艺术, 就是赋予每一样事物它正确合理的位置。
36:23 From this arises another question, which is: consciousness contains mankind’s sorrow. That is, you, as a human being, are part of the world. You are the world. Not an idea, not something that has intellectually been put together by reason and you say, ‘Yes, quite right,’ but the reality, the truth of it, that you represent, as a human being, the rest of humanity because you suffer, you’re anxious, you are uncertain, confused, miserable, fearful, hurt, everything, and every human being has this. 37:45 So, your consciousness is the consciousness of mankind. If that is the truth to you, not an idea, then what takes place? You understand my question? One has lived as an individual, fighting, struggling to express oneself, demanding – you follow? – as a limited, contained, narrow individual. And it is very, very difficult to see the truth that you are the rest of mankind, that in you is the whole of man and, therefore, his fears, his anxieties, his mischief, his arrogance, his pride, his violence, all that, and his sorrow. Right? 39:26 And mankind has lived with this sorrow. Right? Lived with sorrow, has accepted sorrow as part of his life, and if he doesn’t accept it, he runs away from it, through every form of entertainment, religious and otherwise. Or he personifies this sorrow into an image, which the Christians have done, and think they have solved this problem. 36:23 从这之中又产生出了另一个问题,也就是: 「意识」中包含了「人类的苦」。 换句话说,你作为人类的一员, 你就是这个世界的一部分。 你就是这个世界。 这不是一个“观点”,这不是某种 思维理性在智力层面上 拼凑出来的东西,然后你说,“是的,非常正确”, 它是一个实际的事实,它是真相 ——也就是:你作为一个人, 你就代表了世界上其他的人, 因为你会受苦,你会焦虑,你会感到不确定、 困惑、痛苦、恐惧,受到伤害,等等, 而世界上的每一个人也都是这样。 37:45 所以你的意识就是人类的意识。 如果这对你来说是一个真理, 而不是一个观点理念, 那时会发生什么呢? 你们理解我的问题吗? 我们作为“个体”而活着:斗争、努力、 表达自我、各种欲求 ——你们跟上了吗? —— 我们每个人都是局限的、 受控制的、狭隘的个体。 而要看到这个真相是非常非常困难的 ——这个真相就是:你就是世界上其他的人, 「你」已经包含了全人类, 从而也包含了人类的恐惧、焦虑、伤害、 傲慢、自负、暴力等等这些, 还有人类的「苦」。对吧? 39:26 人类是在苦难中生活的。 对吧? 人类生活在苦难中,他已经接受了 「苦难」就是自己生活的一部分, 而如果他不接受苦难,那他就会逃离苦难 ——通过各种形式的娱乐、宗教等等来逃避它。 或者他会将这种「苦」化为某个人物形象 ——这就是基督教徒所做的事情—— 然后认为他们已经解决了这个问题。
40:24 Now, our question is, can this sorrow, not only your particular little sorrow, you’re the sorrow of mankind. You understand? What an enormous perception that is, if you see it. That your sorrow is not yours, it’s the whole of mankind’s. Then, you don’t cry. Then you don’t shed tears about your little wounds, your little failures, your little anxieties and so on. But when you realise you are the representative of all mankind it brings about an enormous sense of vitality, energy. It’s only when you are thinking about yourself, your sorrow, that vast energy is limited into a small, little channel, and it becomes rather dirty. 42:13 Now, is it possible for sorrow to end? If there is an ending in one human being – please, go with me for a little while – if there is the ending of sorrow in one human being, who is the representative of all humanity, that ending affects the whole of consciousness of man. You understand? Stalin has affected the whole of consciousness of man – No? – Hitler, all the rest of those world people, national people. Through the priest, the idea of Jesus Christ has affected mankind. Right? You’ll accept that, more easily. 43:28 So, when there is a fundamental ending of sorrow in a human being who is the representative of all humanity, then, that brings about an action in the totality of mankind – I wonder if I’m making...? Capito? Have you understood something, sirs? Not what I’m saying. Do you see the truth of this, the fact of this? 40:24 而现在,我们的问题是:这种「苦」 ——它不只是你个人渺小的痛苦, 因为你代表了全人类的「苦」。 你们能理解吗? 如果你能看到这一点——这将是一种多么惊人的洞察。 那就是:你的苦难并不是“你的”, 它是全人类的苦难。 那时你就不会再哭泣了。 那时你就不会再会为你自己那点小小的伤痛、 你那微不足道的失败、渺小的焦虑等等而流泪了。 当你认识到你就代表了全人类, 这就会带来一种巨大惊人的活力感与能量感。 而当你关心思考你自己和你的痛苦时, 这股巨大的能量便会被限制约束至 一条细小狭窄的通道中, 由此它就会变得相当肮脏了。 42:13 所以,我们是否可能让「苦难」止息呢? 如果有一个人结束了这种「苦难」 ——请暂时先跟上我的思路—— 如果有一个人结束了这种「苦难」, 那么由于这个人代表了全人类, 所以他苦难的结束就会影响全人类的整体意识。 你们理解了吗? 斯大林已经影响了人类的整体意识 ——没有影响吗? —— 还有希特勒……以及所有其他那些 世界知名人士、民族人物。 经由那些牧师,耶稣基督的思想理念 已经影响了全人类。 对吧?你们会更容易接受同意这一点。 43:28 所以,当一个人从根本上结束了「苦」, 那么由于这个人就代表了全人类, 因此,这件事就会影响作用于人类整体 ——我不知道我是否把它……? (意大利语)明白了吗? 你们是否已经 了解了一些东西,先生们? 不是了解我所说的东西。 而是:你是否看到了这个真相、 这个事实?
44:14 That is, most of us have some kind of sorrow, either we are unhealthy, or our children are not what they should be and so on, or we can never reach the other side of the river, or we can never be as intelligent as somebody else, or there is the love of someone who dies – the sorrow of thousands of people who have been killed during the wars. Now, what can a human being, you, do or not do, to end this? Take an ordinary, everyday incident of death. Someone whom you so-call love dies: old age, disease, accident and so on, dies. 46:11 And you have lost him or her, and you shed tears of loneliness, shed tears of sudden loss, irrevocable loss, nothing can bring him back, or her. You are left completely, suddenly isolated because you are so attached, given yourself over to that person, so completely, and when that person ends, you suddenly discover how empty you are. There are tears of self-pity, tears of loss, tears of loneliness – right? – which we call ‘sorrow.’ And can that sorrow end? It doesn’t mean that you’re callous, that you are indifferent, that you become totally isolated from everything and, therefore, self-protected. 47:54 Is it possible to end sorrow? – not the sorrow of somebody whom you lose but the whole meaning of that word ‘grief,’ the depth of it, the enormity, the weight of it. It is possible only when you, as a human being who are, etc., when you observe without action, without doing something about it, just be entirely with it. You understand? Your wife or your girlfriend has left you. You are jealous, angry, vicious, hating and you realise that, if you’re at all intelligent, aware, then you say, ‘I must get out of this.’ 49:37 But to remain with it – understand? – to remain totally, without any movement, with your jealousy, with your anger, with your hate – you understand? – completely one with it. Not identify yourself with it, because you are that, but to remain with it, without any movement. I wonder if you’re capturing something, at all. 44:14 换句话说,我们大多数人都有着某种「苦」, 我们要么身体不健康, 要么我们的孩子没有达到理想中的模样,等等, 或者我们永远无法抵达“彼岸”, 要么我们永远无法像别人那样聪明, 要么我们所爱的人去世了 ——那种苦难……成千上万的人在战争中被杀害。 而现在,你作为一个人,你能够通过做些什么 或者不做什么来结束苦难呢? 就拿日常生活中很普通的事情「去世」来说。 某个所谓的“你爱的人”去世了: 他(她)因为年老、疾病、意外 等等原因而去世了 46:11 于是你便失去了他(她), 你流下了孤独的泪水, 你因为这种突然的「失去」、 无法换回的「失去」而痛哭流涕, 没有任何事物可以将他(她)带回来了。 你被彻底地抛弃了, 突然陷入于孤立无援的境地, 因为此前你是如此的执著依恋, 你是如此完全地将自己交给了那个人, 因此当那个人死去以后, 你突然发现自己是多么的空虚。 于是你流下了「自怜」的泪水、「失去」的泪水 和「孤独」的泪水 ——是这样吧? ——而我们就把这称为“苦”。 那么这种「苦」可以结束吗? 这并不意味着你是冷酷无情的、你是冷漠的, 你要变得和一切事物完全隔绝、 由此便可以自我保护了。 47:54 而是:我们是否可能终结「苦难」? ——不是那种失去某人的痛苦, 而是关于「苦」这个字的全部含义, 那种深刻的痛苦、巨大的痛苦、 沉重的痛苦。 要让这件事成为可能,只有当你作为人类的一员 ——你有着那些痛苦等等—— 当你能够没有「行动」地去观察, 不去对那个「苦」做某些事情, 而只是完全地和「苦」在一起。 你们理解了吗? 你的妻子或你的女朋友抛弃了你。 你感到嫉妒、愤怒、心怀恶意、憎恨, 如果你真的聪明且有所觉察的话, 你就会意识到这些情绪, 于是你说,“我必须要摆脱掉这些东西”。 49:37 然而你需要和它「共处」 ——明白了吗?—— 完全地与之共处,没有任何行为活动 ——去和你的嫉妒、 你的愤怒、你的憎恨待在一起 ——你们理解了吗? —— 完全地与之融为一体。 不要把自己认同于它 ——因为你就是它—— 而是和它待在一起,而没有任何举动。 我不知道你们是否真的领会到了一些东西。
50:15 Then you will see that there comes an extraordinary transformation. The transformation that comes about with the ending of sorrow, is passion, not lust. Passion is something entirely different. If you have no passion, you’re non-existent. So, you will find, if you, actually, without moving away from that thing called sorrow, a totally different movement takes place. And that movement is this extraordinary, endless passion. Right? And that passion is compassion. You understand? 51:37 The word ‘compassion’ means passion for all things: for birds, trees, for human beings, for the rock, for the stray animal. But when there is compassion for one person, then it is limitless because in its very nature it includes all things. Right? Don’t go to sleep, please. Or don’t go off into some kind of imaginary, mystical, romantic idea. Compassion is not romantic. It’s not intellectual. It’s not sentimental. 50:15 那时你就会看到一种非凡的「转变」发生了。 伴随着「苦」的止息,「转变」就会降临, 而这种「转变」就是「热情」——它不是「激情」。 「热情」是某种和「激情」完全不同的事物。 如果你没有「热情」,你便失去了「存在」。 所以如果你真的 没有离开那个被称为“苦”的东西, 那你就会发现 一种截然不同的运动发生了。 而这种运动就是那种非凡的、 永无止境的「热情」。 好吧? 那种「热情」便是「慈悲」。你们能理解吗? 51:37 「慈悲」这个词(compassion)就意味着 对万事万物的热情(passion): 对鸟儿、对树木、对人类、 对石头、对流浪小动物的热情。 而只要你对某一个人有了慈悲之情, 那这种慈悲就是无限的, 因为在这种慈悲的本质之中, 就包含了万事万物。 对吧? 请你们不要睡着了。 也不要陷入于某种想象的、神秘的、 浪漫化的想法中。 「慈悲」并不是浪漫空想。 它并不是智力层面的东西,也不是多愁善感的东西。
53:06 From that – quelle heure est-il? Bien. From that we ought, also, to talk over together the common factor of all mankind, which touches every human being, young and old, which is the ending of life, which is called death. Right? We should go into that. It’s really a very complex question, like all human problems, it’s very complex. And man, every human being, or woman in the world, has tried to find a way out of it, tried to immortalise himself, or her, through some action, through some book, through some way of life. So that this idea of ending has become a terror, has become something which man must avoid at all costs, postpone it as long as possible. 55:04 And there have been a thousand explanations – rational, irrational, based on belief, conclusion and hope. Because man doesn’t want to end, because he says, ‘I have gathered so much experience. I have cultivated my house and my garden, so carefully, inwardly, and outwardly. I’ve accumulated so much knowledge. I’ve lived so clearly and why should I, who have gathered so much, end all this, what for? And if that is all, then I might just as well live very superficially, enjoy myself, do whatever I want and call the whole business a jolly good life. You understand? The two extremes: 56:37 the one who doesn’t care, the one who has had many experiences of every kind, sensuous, otherwise, and he says at the end, ‘All right, dust to dust.’ The other says, ‘Why should I die?’ – you follow all this? ‘I have loved, I’ve known beauty, I’ve swam against the current, I follow nobody, and I have lived, tried to live as a human being who is not second-hand.’ And, unfortunately, most of us are second-hand. 53:06 而从这之中……(法语)现在几点了? (法语)好的。 在谈了这个话题后, 我们同样也应该一起来探讨一下 全人类所具有的共同要素, 这个「要素」涉及到每一个人 ——不管是年轻人还是老人—— 它就是生命的结束——也就是所谓的“死亡”。 对吧? 我们应该来探究一下它。 这其实是一个非常复杂的问题 ——就像所有人类的问题一样,它很复杂。 每一个人,这个世界上的男人或女人 都试图找到一条摆脱死亡的途径, 试图通过某种行为、 某些书籍、某种生活方式 来让他(她)自己变得永恒不朽。 因此(死亡)这个涉及到「结束」的概念 就引发了恐惧, 它变成了某个人类必须不惜一切代价 去避免的东西, 去尽可能地推迟它。 55:04 对于「死亡」,我们已经有了上千种解释 ——理性的或者非理性的解释, 还有基于信仰、结论与希望的解释。 因为人类并不想要「结束」, 因为有人会说,“我已经积累了如此多的经验, 我如此精心地建造打理好了 我的房子和我的花园, 打理好了内在和外在的事物。 我已经积累了那么多的知识。 我过着如此清醒明智的生活, 作为一个积累了如此多事物的人, 为什么要我结束掉这一切,这是为了什么呢? 而如果这一切终将结束,那么我还不如 去过肤浅表面的生活,去享乐,去为所欲为, 然后我会把这整件事情称为“快乐美满的生活”。 你们理解了吗?这是两个极端: 56:37 一个是满不在乎, 而另一个则是拥有了无数各类经验 ——感官层面的经验以及其他经验, 到了最后,一个人会说, “没事儿,反正都是尘归尘、土归土。 ” 而另一个人则会说,“为什么要让我死去? ” ——你们跟上所有这些了吗? “我曾经爱过,我已经知晓了「美」, 我曾经逆流而上, 我不跟从任何人,我曾经这样活过 我试图不做一个‘二手人类’而生活。 ” 可遗憾的是,我们大多数人都是“二手人类”。
57:46 So, we must find out, for ourselves, what it means to end, not the ending of death – you understand? – that’s one of the things, but what does it mean to end? The ending of my anxiety, ending, not what happens after I end, we’ll find out. Ending my desire, my longing, my frustrations, ending my hurts, ending the desire to fulfil, ending it. Right? You understand what I’m…? The ending of something, psychologically, and even physiologically. The ending of your attachment to another. 59:05 The ending of your belief, the ending of – not belonging to any institution, the ending of it. What happens? You follow what I’m saying? If we understand one thing, then we can move to the ending which we call life, which is death. The ending of attachment, because most of us are attached to something or other. Right? To our bodies, to our looks, to our husband, to our girl, to our belief, to our gods, something or other – attachment. Now, can you end attachment, not say, ‘I’ll get something out of it,’ just cut it, surgically, rationally, seeing all the causes of attachment, what is implied, which we went into, I won’t go into all that, and to end it, completely? 1:00:29 Have you ever done anything, ending something completely? Especially attachment, if do it now, as we are talking. Become aware of your attachment, end it, and see, observe. Then, what takes place? You cannot observe very clearly if you don’t end something. What happens? Right? 57:46 所以,我们必须亲自去搞清楚: 「结束」意味着什么, 不是那种死亡的结束。 ——你们能理解吗? —— 那只是其中一种“结束”, 而是:「结束」是什么意思? 去结束我的焦虑,结束它, 而不是当我结束它以后会发生什么, 我们将会来发现它。 去结束我的欲望、我的渴望、我的挫败沮丧, 结束我的伤痛, 结束那种想要实现成就的渴望,去结束掉它。 好吧? 你们理解我在说的……? 终结某个事物, 在心理层面——甚至也包括在生理层面——终结它。 去结束你对另一个人的执著依恋。 59:05 去结束你的信仰,去结束 ——不再属于任何机构团体,告别它。 然后会发生什么呢? 你们跟上我说的东西了吗? 如果我们了解了某个事物, 那我们就可以达到这种「结束」了, 而这才是我们所说的「生活」——「生活」即死亡。 去结束「执著」, 因为我们大多数人都执著于 这样或那样的事物。 是吧? 执著于我们的身体、我们的相貌、我们的丈夫、 我们的女朋友、我们的信仰、我们的神明, 执著于这个或那个东西 ——那种执著依恋。 那么,你能否结束掉「执著」呢? 不要说,“我将会从结束执著中获得某些东西”, 只是去切断它,如外科手术般地、理性地 看到导致「执著」的所有原因,看到它的暗示意义 ——这个我们已经讲过了,我就不详细说了—— 然后完全彻底地结束它(执著)? 1:00:29 你是否曾经做过任何事情 来彻底地结束掉一个东西? 尤其是结束「执著」——如果你可以此刻 在我们谈话的时候就这样去做的话。 去觉察你的「执著依恋」,然后结束掉它, 去看、去观察。 而那时,会发生什么呢? 如果你不去结束掉某个东西, 你就无法非常清楚地去观察了。 那时会发生什么? 对吧?
1:01:24 Say, for instance, you’re attached to nicotine, smoking. I’m taking that very ordinary, rather stupid example. What happens, without fear, you end it because it’s irrational, why waste money and all the rest of it. If you end it because it affects your heart, your lungs, then you’re not ending it, you’re ending it out of fear. But being aware of all the results and so on, the cause of smoking, say, drop it completely, today, now. 1:02:21 Then, what has taken place? Isn’t there not only freedom from smoking, but isn’t there a new sense of freedom, a new beginning? You’re following this? If you end your attachment to the country, you know, attachment, to a piece of furniture, if you end it, completely, then there is a new beginning, isn’t there? No? There’s no new beginning if you do it out of fear, if you do it out of rationalised, careful analysis. 1:03:27 But if you see the whole nature of attachment, what is involved in it, completely, and end it, then you will see there is, totally, a new beginning. Because the ending is the past, and when you are ending the past, then, there is not only a new observation but a sense of extraordinary freedom and movement not born of the past. I wonder if you get all this! Do it and you will discover this, for yourself. 1:01:24 比如说……举个例子, 你执著依恋于「尼古丁」,喜欢抽烟。 我就举这个非常普通 且相当无聊的例子来说吧。 那时会发生什么呢,不是出于恐惧, 如果你戒烟是因为它并不理智, 为什么要在它上面浪费钱,等等这些。 如果你戒烟是因为它影响了 你的心脏、你的肺, 那你就没有在结束它,你戒烟只是出于恐惧。 然而,当你觉察到了 抽烟所有的后果等等, 比如你去抽烟的原因,然后就在今天, 就在此刻彻底抛弃它。 1:02:21 那么会发生什么呢? 那时,你是不是不仅戒掉了烟, 而且还会有一种全新的「自由感」、 一个全新的开始? 你们理解它了吗? 如果你们结束了自己对于国家的执著, 你们知道的,那种执著依恋, 执著于一件家具, 如果你完全彻底地结束了它, 那么就会有一个崭新的开始了,不是吗? 没有吗? 而如果你是出于恐惧而这么做, 如果你是经过理性仔细的分析以后才这样做, 那就不会有全新的开始了。 1:03:27 但如果你看清了「执著依恋」的全部本质, 它所蕴含的内容意义,完整地看到了它, 然后结束了它, 那时你就将看到会有一个 完全崭新的开始。 因为「结束」就是「过去」, 而当你在结束「过去」的时候, 那时不仅会有一种崭新的观察, 还会有一种超乎寻常的自由感, 以及一种并非源自于「过去」的运动。 我不知道你们是否领会了所有这些东西! 请这样去做一下,然后你就能自己发现它了。
1:04:25 And death: we’re all going to die, one day or another. If everyone of us lived for ever, and ever, amen, think of what the earth would be like. Filled with ghastly, old, decrepit – you follow? So, I’m asking myself, and you’re asking yourself, why shouldn’t I die? Not commit suicide, that’s too silly. Why shouldn’t I die, what’s wrong with death? Why is there this colossal fear about it? I know very well what it means to end smoking. Right? I took that silly example. 1:05:50 I know, there’s an awareness of ending attachment to a guru, to ideas, to a pattern – ending. What happens when I end? There’s such a great sense of freedom and beauty in it. So, why shouldn’t there be an ending, ending to what? You understand my question? I know I can end smoking, ending attachment, but ending which is death, what is this ending? You’re following this? Does it interest you, all this? Bene. Allora. 1:04:25 而关于「死亡」: 我们总有一天都会死去。 如果我们每个人都能 永远永远地活下去,阿门, 想想这个地球会变成什么样子吧。 那时到处都会是吓人的、苍老的、 老态龙钟的家伙——你们明白了吗? 所以,我正在问自己,而你也在问自己, 为什么我不应该死去? 不是让你去自杀,那就太蠢了。 而是,为什么我不该死去呢, 死亡难道有什么问题吗? 为什么要对死亡有如此巨大的恐惧? 我非常清楚戒烟意味着什么。 对吧?我还是要举这个有点蠢的例子。 1:05:50 我知道,我能意识到…… 意识到那种「执著」的结束, 结束对于古鲁、对于理念、对于模式的执著 ——结束掉它。 而当我结束掉它后,会发生什么呢? 在那之中有着如此巨大的自由与美的感觉。 所以为什么不该有「结束」呢, 结束的是什么东西呢? 你们理解我的问题吗? 我知道我可以结束抽烟, 结束掉这种执著依恋, 然而结束……它就是死亡, 这种「结束」又是什么呢? 你们跟上它了吗? 你们对所有这些东西有兴趣吗? (意大利语)很好,那我继续讲。
1:07:07 So, I enquire into what is living. You understand, you’re following? Not what is ending, what is living? It’s odd that you all should be listening to this man, isn’t it? So, we are asking, what is living? Can there be an ending to this thing called living? Right? Then I’m asking, what is this living? The living, daily, monotonous routine, with all the problems, that’s my life, your life – not mine, sorry. It’s your life. Not that I’m separate, I don’t enter into it. What is this ending? Ending to what? Ending to my attachment to my husband, wife, girl, boy, ending knowledge, ending experience, ending all the sensations, ending sex – right? – 1:09:19 ending this constant battle in oneself and with others. Right? This thing is what we call living. Right? It’s not my idea, this is what you’re doing. Now, is there an ending to all that? Ending to your sorrow, ending to your ambition, your pride, your vanity, your arrogance, violence, can you end all that? Of course, you can. As you have ended smoking, as you have ended attachment, you can end your ambition, your vanity, your hurts, you know, the whole thing, I don’t have to go into it, you can end it. Right? 1:07:07 所以,我要去探询什么是「生活」。 你们懂了吗? 你们跟上了吗? 不是:什么是「结束」,而是:什么是「生活」? 你们都需要聆听眼前这个家伙的讲话 ——这很奇怪,不是吗? 所以我们正在问:什么是「生活」? 这个被称为“生活”的事物能否结束呢? 对吧? 于是我就要问了:这种「生活」是什么? 我们单调乏味、例行公事、 充满各种问题的日常生活, 这就是我的生活,是你的生活 ——不是我的生活,不好意思。 这是你的生活。 不是我要跳脱出来, 我压根儿就没进入过这种生活。 所以这种「结束」是什么呢? 结束什么东西呢? 结束我对于丈夫、妻子、 女朋友、男朋友的执著依恋, 结束知识、结束经验、结束所有的感官感觉、 结束「性爱」——对吧?—— 1:09:19 结束自己内心那种持续不断的斗争, 也结束自己和他人的持续斗争。 对吧? 我们就把这个东西称为“生活”。 是吧? 这并不是我的观点理念, 这是你们正在做的事情。 那么,所有这一切是否结束了呢? 结束你的痛苦、结束你的野心、 结束你的自负、虚荣、傲慢、暴力, 你能够结束所有这一切吗? 当然了,你可以。 就像你已经结束了抽烟, 就像你已经结束了这种执著依恋, 你也可以结束掉你的野心、 你的虚荣、你的伤痛, 你知道的,所有这些东西,我就不展开讲了, 你是可以结束掉它的。对吧?
1:10:39 If you have ended it, actually, not theoretically, in daily life, then, what is death? Death is, then, the ending of sensation, ending of the brain cells. You understand? Ending. Like a leaf in the autumn. That leaf in the autumn has beautiful colour, it’s full of colour, there’s in that leaf, the whole universe is, not theoretically but actually. So, if we end the way we are living, then there is a totally different beginning, not I begin totally differently, because when you left attachment, completely, there was no ‘I’ beginning, there was a state of total freedom from a particular thing, and in that freedom there was a great sense of release, a great sense of freedom, a totally new beginning without the anchors of attachment. 1:10:39 如果你已经在日常生活中切实地结束了它 ——而不是理论上结束了它 那时「死亡」是什么呢? 那时死亡就是感官感觉的终结, 大脑细胞的终结。 你明白了吗? 「终结」。 就像秋天的一片落叶。 那片秋天的落叶有着美丽的色彩, 它是五彩缤纷的, 在那片落叶中,就有着整个宇宙 ——不是理论上有,而是的确有。 所以,如果我们结束了现在的生活方式, 那么就会有一个截然不同的开始, 不是“我”有了一个截然不同的开始, 因为当你完全地舍弃了执著, 那时并没有一个“我”有了某种开始, 那时只有一种彻底脱离了某个事物的状态, 在那种自由中,有着一种强烈的解脱感、 一种巨大的自由感、 它是一个完全崭新的开始 ——没有了「执著依恋」的羁绊。
1:12:47 So, can you end what you call the living: the worries, the problems – ending the problem, never to carry it a single minute over, because if you have a problem and you carry it over, over and over and over, day after day, for another year, that deteriorates the brain. So, we’re asking if you end the way one lives, now, there is a new beginning, without the ‘me.’ And then, death has no meaning. Then, you don’t ask what happens after my life. Right? Because you have ended the thing that you call living, which is ‘me,’ with all my problems, my anxieties, my worries, my pride. You follow? Will you do it? Or say, ‘Yes, marvellous idea,’ and carry on our daily, monotonous, useless life? 1:12:47 所以,你能否结束你所谓的“生活”: 结束那些忧虑、那些问题 ——终结那个问题, 永远不要再携带着它哪怕一分钟时间, 因为如果你有了一个问题, 然后就这样一直一直地携带着它, 持续不断,日复一日,年复一年, 这就会让大脑堕落退化。 所以我们正在问,如果你结束了 自己现有的生活方式, 那么就会有一个没有“我”的、 崭新的开始。 那时,「死亡」就没有意义了。 那时你就不再会问: 我死了以后会发生什么。 对吧? 因为你已经终结了那个 你称之为“生活”的东西——也就是那个“我”, 终结了所有“我的问题”、“我的焦虑”、 “我的担忧”、“我的自负” ——你们跟上了吗? 你们会这么做吗? 还是会说,“是的,真是个绝妙的想法”, 然后继续过着自己单调乏味、 毫无价值的日常生活?
1:14:41 When you understand the full meaning of death and the ending of what it signifies, time, as such, has come to an end. I’m just talking to myself, unless you do it. Time in the sense of non-movement of thought. And this whole enquiry is, really, a profound meditation, not sitting cross-legged and doing all kinds of silly stuff. Because then, in the total ending, creation takes place. Then, there is really an extraordinary sense of tremendous passion and energy, which is not a reward. 1:14:41 当你理解了死亡的全部意义, 以及它所象征的那种「终结」, 那么诸如「时间」这样的东西 便会结束了。 我只是在跟我自己说话 ——除非你自己也这样去做。 时间(结束)的意思是:思想不再活动了。 而这整个探询其实就是一种深度的冥想, 冥想并不是盘腿打坐, 然后去做所有那些蠢事。 因为那时,就在那种完全彻底的「结束」之中, 「创造」便会发生了。 那时就会有一种真正的、 充满巨大热情与能量的非凡感觉 ——但这种感觉并不是奖励回报。
1:16:07 Bene, finito. Basta. 1:16:07 (意大利语)好了,到此为止吧。够了。
