最终，如果你足够努力地修炼自我，你会发现自己的心灵如同浮在水面般安然栖息。
Eventually, if you work enough on yourself, You'll find that what's happening is that you are resting on your mind like you would float on water.
我想象一只落水的鸟儿，翅膀湿透却仍在竭力保持漂浮。
I imagine a bird who's fallen into the water and the wings are wet, and it's trying to stay afloat.
它已经在那里挣扎了太久。
It's been there long enough.
当然，这不过是鸟儿的脑子忘记了飞翔的本能。
Of course, it's just a bird brain that it forgot about flying.
它只知道它想要生存。
It just knows it wants to survive.
那只躺在水中的鸟，如果水面平静、安宁且宜人，那鸟儿就是在晒太阳。
That bird lying in that water, if the water is still and calm and pleasant, the bird is sunbathing.
鸟儿漂浮着。
The bird is floating.
鸟儿甚至享受在水中的体验。
The bird is even enjoying the experience of being in the water.
如果水面开始变得波涛汹涌，泛起涟漪，出现扰动，水漫过鸟儿的头部进入嘴里，情况就变得艰难。
If the water begins to become choppy, wavelets, disturbances, water gets over the head of the bird and into the mouth and it's hard.
于是鸟儿挣扎着要浮在涟漪之上。
And so the bird struggles to stay above the ripples.
当然，如果变得动荡不安，暴风雨来临，对那只鸟来说就非常非常困难了。
And of course, if it becomes tumultuous, stormy, it's very, very difficult, very, very difficult for that bird.
它经历过无数次这样的情况，几乎完全被淹死。
It's been through that numerous times and it's almost drowned completely.
它甚至已经沉下去过好几次了。
It's even gone down a few times.
所以，鸟的一生都取决于水的状态。
So, the bird's entire life is the state of the water.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
对那只鸟来说，生命就是水的状态。
That's what life is to that bird is the state of the water.
因此，如果鸟儿能随心所欲，它会保持水面平静，让它舒适安宁。
And so the bird, if it had its way, would keep the water calm, would have it be comfortable and have it be peaceful.
所以它尽其所能地尝试找到实现这一目标的方法。
So it tries, however it can, to find ways to do this.
当然，现在你我都知道——这部分你可能不爱听——这只鸟根本不可能决定水的状态，对吧？
Now, of course, you and I know and this is a part you're not going to like that the bird don't have a chance in the world to determine what the water is doing, does it?
但它以为自己可以。
But it thinks it can.
为什么？
Why?
因为它必须这么认为。
Because it has to think that.
因为它需要水面保持平静。
Because it needs the water to be still.
它无法接受自己对这一切毫无掌控的想法。
And it can't exist thinking it has no control over this.
于是它甚至陷入——我知道这听起来很傻——它陷入了一种状态，曾有一次它发现因为水面平静而轻轻鸣叫，对吧？
So somehow it even gets in I know it sounds so silly it gets into the spot where it found out once that it was chirping a little bit because the water was nice, right?
然后水面就一直保持平静。
And the water stayed nice.
明白吗？
Okay?
而当它没注意，稍微往右边看时，水面就变得波涛汹涌。
And that when it wasn't paying attention and looking a little bit to the right, the water got choppy.
于是它在脑海中形成了所有这些概念、观点、意见和偏好：如果我往右看，千万别那样做，因为水面会变得波涛汹涌。
And so it developed all these concepts and views and opinions and preferences in its head that if I look to the right, don't do that because the water will get choppy.
如果我这样做，偶尔恰到好处地绊一下，有时还真能奏效，你明白这个道理吧？
And if I do this and trip just right and every once in a while it works, you understand that, okay?
而你来和这只鸟讨论事情，其实你根本不想和它讨论。
And you come to discuss things with this bird, you don't want to have a discussion with this bird.
这只鸟脑子里想的都是：哇，你是怎么得出这个结论的？
What this bird's got going on in their mind is like, Wow, where did you get there?
答案其实非常简单。
And the answer is very straightforward.
我必须做点什么。
I had to do something.
我不能感到无助。
I couldn't feel helpless.
我不能觉得自己无能为力。
I couldn't feel like there was nothing I could do.
我不会再沉溺了。
I ain't drowning anymore.
我不想沉下去。
I don't want to go under.
天啊，当我做错事时，整个汹涌的海洋和水变得可怕又令人窒息。
My God, when I do these things wrong, the whole tumultuous ocean and water gets amazing and drowning.
我最好确保再也不犯那种错，否则我会彻底崩溃。
I better make sure I never do that again, cause I'll get completely freaked out.
而当我做对事情时，当我想得对、叫得对、看得对、一切都做对时，水面就会变得平静——我必须那么做，对吧？
And when I do things right, when I think right and chirp right and look right and do everything right, the water gets calm and still and I needed to do that, right?
现在我成了一只神经质的鸟。
And I now am one neurotic bird.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
好吧。
All right.
因为我总是搞不明白，为什么如果我这次鸣叫的方式和上次完全一样，那肯定还是不对的。
Because I can't always figure out why if I chirped exactly the way I chirped last time, I must not have it right.
一定是有什么原因，前世或是什么影响了这件事。
There must have been something, past life or something that has affected this.
好吧。
All right.
这就发展出了整套关于业力、关于前世行为的理论。
It developed this whole thing about karma, about things it did before.
这非常复杂。
It's very complicated.
它前世做过什么，所以即使现在叫对了也没用，会被前世那些事抵消掉之类的。
It did something before so that even if it chirps, right, it doesn't matter now because it was offset by these past things and all that kind of stuff.
然后这整套前世理论，其实是另一只漂过的鸟告诉她的。
Then really this whole past life thing, somebody came along, another bird that was floating along told her about that.
那根本不是你这次做的事。
That's not even what you did this time.
可能是你上次做的事。
It could be what you did last time.
所以现在你要去弄清楚。
So now you're going figure that out.
对这只鸟来说确实非常困难。
And it really is very difficult for this bird.
这只鸟正经历着非常、非常艰难的时期。
This bird is having a very, very hard time.
特别是当水面变得汹涌时，鸟儿要挣扎着保持漂浮已经够难了，现在它还感到内疚。
Especially, it's hard enough that when the water gets tumultuous that the bird has to struggle to stay afloat, now he feels guilty.
现在鸟儿在想，我做错了什么？
Now the bird feels, What did I do wrong?
这真是最令人惊叹的事。
It's just the most amazing thing.
最后鸟儿终于明白，我靠自己是想不通的。
And the bird finally figures, I can't figure this out by myself.
这简直难以置信。
It's unbelievable.
我知道是我造成的，但我就是搞不明白。
I know I'm causing this, but I can't figure it out.
对吧？
Right?
也许有另一种力量能帮我控制这个局面。
Maybe there's another force that can control this for me.
我听说过有更高级的力量存在。
I've heard rumors that there was a higher force.
对吧？
Right?
我要向它祈祷。
I'll pray to that.
他们请求那股力量让我所做之事奏效，让水面恢复平静。
And they ask that force to make it so that what I'm doing works and makes the water right.
这只鸟的全部生命、每一刻，甚至对更高力量的祈祷，都是为了控制水。
And this entire bird, every life, every moment, even the prayers to the higher force are about controlling the water.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
那只鸟所做的每一件事都与我被困住的事实有关。
Every single thing that bird is doing is about the fact that I'm stuck.
他甚至不知道自己被困在水中，因为他不知道自己可以脱身。
He doesn't even know he's stuck in the water because he doesn't know he can get out.
记得吗？
Remember?
我开始写他告诉你他忘记自己曾经飞翔的视频。
I started writing the video he told you forgot that he ever flew.
那是很久以前的事了。
That's so long ago.
不。
Nope.
我太忙了，有其他事情要处理。
I'm too busy with other things.
我太忙于思考如何让水面平静、把事情做对等等这些事。
I'm too busy thinking about how to make the water calm and do things right and all that.
我的脑海里没有一丝念头认为除了待在这水里还有其他可能。
There's not one part of my mind that has any idea that there's something other than being in this water.
我就是这水。
I am this water.
我就在这水里。
I am in this water.
这就是我的生活。
That is what my life is.
我能感受到。
I feel it.
你不能说我不是——每次水动，我就漂浮。
You can't tell me I'm not every time it moves, I float.
这就是我。
This is me.
你明白了。
You got it.
这种处境。
This situation.
我向你发誓，这毫不夸张地正是一个人如何依托其心灵的状态。
I swear to you that is exactly with no exaggeration how a human being rests on their mind.
心灵从来就不是你的本质。
The mind is not who you are ever.
就像水从来不是那只鸟的本质一样。
Just like that water is not who that bird is ever.
无论那水如何变化，平静还是汹涌，它都不比任何其他东西更代表那只鸟。
No matter what that water is doing, whether it's calm or there's tumultuous, it is no more that bird than any other.
你明白这一点。
You understand that.
那只鸟独立于水面，与水分离。
The bird is independent and separate from that water.
它漂浮在水上，但并不属于水的一部分。
It is floating on it, but it is not part of it.
它与水毫无关联。
It has nothing to do with it.
你的意识，你的存在觉知，正漂浮在心灵的涟漪之上。
Your consciousness, your awareness of being is floating on the rippets of the mind.
在瑜伽中，我们称之为‘心绪波动’。
In yoga we call them vrittis.
如果你深入且足够静默，你会看到心中确有‘心绪波动’。
Will if you go deep enough and quiet enough, you'll see there are 'Vrittis' in the mind.
当一个念头产生时，它始于微小的振动，随后如同细浪般涌起，但这些念头、这些细浪会对你说话。
When a thought gets created, it starts as a tiny vibration and then it's like a wavelet, it comes up and it but those thoughts, those wavelets talk to you.
你不该那样做的。
You shouldn't have done that.
也许如果我...但作为一个真正的冥想者，深入足够的人，每个念头都有其种子、开始、高峰和终结。
Maybe if I But you literally a meditator, somebody who's gone deep enough, every single thought has a seed, a start, a peak, and a finish.
而你就在那里，就像你看到湖面上的涟漪一样。
And you're right there just like you would see the wavelets on a lake.
你看到了吗？
Do you see them?
对吧？
Right?
它们有开始，有结束，如此等等。
They have start, finish, and so on.
它们升起，又落下。
They come up, they go down.
对吧？
Right?
这就是你思绪的运行方式。
That is what your thoughts do.
它们存在于平静的心境中。
They are in a calm mind.
心境是平静的。
The mind is calm.
心境是平静的。
The mind is calm.
水面是平静的。
The water is calm.
如果没有外力作用，没有任何影响水面的因素，它就是平静的。
If there are no forces, none influencing the water, it's calm.
如果没有落叶飘入，没有风吹过，没有雨滴落下，你能理解吗？
If there are no leaves falling in, if there's no wind blowing over it, if there's no rain falling into it, do you understand that?
水的自然状态是平静的，除非有外力使其改变。
The natural state of the water is calm unless there are forces that are causing it to be otherwise.
这样讲清楚了吗？
Fair enough?
你的心智完全一样。
Your mind is exactly the same.
完全一样。
Exactly the same.
它是平静的。
It is calm.
它不是别的，它就是平静的。
It is it's not it's just calm.
这就是佛教所说的空性。
It's what Buddhists mean void.
空心并不意味着愚钝。
The empty mind doesn't mean it's stupid.
水不会因为平静就变得愚钝。
The water is not stupid because it's calm.
它并非不是水。
It's not not water.
它具备产生波浪的所有潜质。
All the potentials are there for it to create waves.
只是目前没有外力促使这种情况发生。
It's just there are no forces causing that to happen.
你心灵的天然状态是完全的平静。
The natural state of your mind is complete peace.
绝对的、彻底的宁静。
Absolute, total calm.
平静。
Calm.
不是在想美好的事物。
Not thinking nice things.
它远超越积极思维。
It's way beyond positive thought.
积极思维不过是一朵美丽的浪花。
Positive thought is just a nice wave.
消极的念头是汹涌的波浪。
Negative thought is a tumultuous wave.
它是空的。
It's empty.
这就是佛教所说的。
That's the Buddhist.
这就是禅宗所讲的。
That's what Zen talks of.
空心，空钟，虚空。
Empty mind, the empty bell, the void.
这并不意味着那里什么都没有，而是指里面什么都没有。
It doesn't mean there's nothing there, it means there's nothing in there.
所以心灵的自然状态是平静的水面。
So the natural state of the mind is the calm water.
它只是绝对的静止。
It's just absolutely still.
虽然有点跑题，但伟大的导师罗摩克里希那曾说过：纯净的心智与自我并无二致。
Want to get off subject but Ramakrishna, the great master, once said, The purified mind is no different than the self.
这个道理非常非常深刻。
It's very, very deep.
当心智平静时，就像空集一样。
When the mind is calm, it's like empty set.
那里除了自我觉知的意识外空无一物。
There's nothing there but the consciousness aware of itself.
如果你凝视绝对静止的水面，就能看见自己的倒影。
If you look into the absolute still water, you will see your reflection.
当水面泛起涟漪时就不会出现这种情况。
It doesn't happen when there's ripples.
那时所有影像都是扭曲的。
It's all distorted.
所以他们用这个例子来说明。
So they use that example.
当你处于深度冥想时，当你真正深入冥想，你不会意识到自己在冥想，直到你回过神来，那时你才知道自己刚才在深度冥想。
When you are in deep meditation, when you're in deep meditation, you don't know you are, not till you come back, then you knew you're in deep meditation.
但如果你处于深度冥想中，那时是没有心念活动的。
But if you're in deep meditation, there is no mind.
它不会产生任何念头。
It's not creating thoughts.
你不会坐在那里想着'哦，我正在深度冥想'。
You're not sitting there thinking, Oh, I'm in deep meditation.
那样的话你就不是在深度冥想了。
Then you're not in deep meditation.
存在的只有纯粹的存在感。
There's only the sense of being.
而我在想，我正在存在着。
And I'm thinking, I'm being ing.
不，你只是存在着。
No, you're just being.
而心智不会干扰或将你从那种状态中拉离。
And the mind is not disturbing or pulling you away from that.
这就是其含义。
That's what's meant.
纯净的心智与自我并无二致。
The purified mind is no different than the self.
并非自我在观察一个纯净的心智。
It's not like the self is watching a pure mind.
没有任何事物将你的意识从存在的觉知中抽离。
There's nothing pulling your consciousness away from your awareness of being.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
即使你通过心智休息，你也只是觉知着存在本身。
You're just aware of being even though you're resting through the mind.
那是空寂的，空无的心智。
It's empty, empty mind.
因此，禅宗所说的空心、空铃与虚空与其他传统并无不同，这很美妙。
So it's beautiful that the Zen stuff of empty mind and empty bell and void is no different than any of the other traditions.
他们只是用了不同的词汇。
They just use different words.
关键在于你就是你。
The key is you are you.
你是那只鸟，是自我，是意识，是存在的觉知，你正栖息于心念之上。
You are the bird, the self, the consciousness, the awareness of being and you are resting on mind.
问题在于你的心从未静止，从未停歇。
The problem is your mind is never still, never still.
倘若你难得进入一次深度冥想，或许能理解何为静止的心。
If you go maybe once in a blue moon into a deep meditation, you understand what still mind is.
否则我要告诉你，只要你留心观察，就会发现心念总在泛起涟漪。
Otherwise, I am telling you if you will pay attention your mind is always creating ripples.
总在泛起涟漪。
Always creating ripples.
这真是难以置信。
That's unbelievable.
就像我说的，除非你体验过绝对静止的心境，否则你无法意识到心其实从未静止——因为你已经习以为常了。
Like I said, not until you've experienced absolute still mind can you experience the fact that the mind is not still Because you're so used to it.
你就像那只鸟一样。
You're just like that bird.
你正在栖息。
You're resting.
心总是在说：'嗯，我没事。'
The mind is always saying, Well, I'm okay.
现在没什么困扰我的。
There's nothing bothering me now.
那是我的。
That's mine.
那些都是涟漪。
Those are ripples.
天啊，我喜欢这种状态。
God, I like this situation.
我感觉棒极了。
I feel so good.
这是我生命中最快乐的时光。
This is the happiest time I've ever been alive.
那是我的。
That's mine.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
千万别把心智想成负面的东西。
Don't you dare think of mind as the negative.
对吧？
Right?
心智就是这些思绪，这些从湖面泛起的涟漪。
Mind are these thoughts, these wavelets that are coming out of this lake.
我喜欢观察你的心灵，你的内在状态。
I like to see your psyche, your inner state.
我所说的心灵指的是思想与情感。
What I mean by psyche is the mind and the emotions.
那种内在状态。
That inner state.
我希望你把它看作水。
I like you to see it as water.
它是一个湖。
It's a lake.
它是一个湖。
It's a lake.
它可曾静止过？
Is it ever still?
饶了我吧。
Give me a break.
好吗？
All right?
你必须努力让它平静下来。
You have to work to make it still.
你得去冥想、做瑜伽、念咒语，做各种事情，对吧？
You have to go meditate and do yoga and do mantras and do all kinds of things, right?
即使是像咒语这样的技巧。
Even the techniques like mantra.
咒语是静止的心吗？
Is mantra a still mind?
不是。
No.
咒语不是静止的心。
Mantra is not a still mind.
咒语是什么？
What is mantra?
一个波动平稳的心智。
A mind whose waves are steady.
它总是说着同样的话，因为总是说着同样的话，所以它们性情相同，内容一致。
It's always saying the same thing and because it's always saying the same thing they're of the same temperament, same thing.
这样更容易漂浮其上。
It's easier to float on.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
如果你的心智始终在底层默念'上帝，上帝'，这就是它的全部活动，那可比'天啊我为什么要说那句话？'更适合休憩。
If your mind is sitting underneath saying, God, God or, that's all it's doing, that's a lot nicer place to rest than Oh my god, why did I say that?
哦我不该说那句话的。
Oh I shouldn't have said that.
天啊，太尴尬了。
Oh my god, so embarrassed.
这太荒谬了。
This is ridiculous.
我应该给她打电话吗？
Should I call her?
不，别打给她。
No, don't call her.
这只是我内心的想法吗？
Is that just my mind?
你的大脑也会这样吗？
Does your mind do that too?
我想或许是的。
I thought maybe it did.
所以你的大脑总是在制造这些小波动。
So your mind is always creating these riplets.
我们慢慢来。
Let's just go slow on this.
你明白了吗？
Do you see that?
我现在就告诉你，事情不必是那样的。
I'm gonna tell you right now it does not have to be that way.
本不该是那样的。
It was not meant to be that way.
不应该那样。
It should not be that way.
当生活变成那样时，会非常非常艰难。
It is very, very difficult to live life when it is like that.
就像鸟儿在噪音不断、波浪起伏时非常艰难，更不用说那些艰难时刻了。
Just like the bird has a very hard time when there's all this noise going on and the ripples in the waves, not to mention the tough times.
我们明白艰难时期有多难熬。
We understand how tough the tough times are.
有人去世，茉莉离开你，生病的人生病，孩子生病。
Somebody dies, Jasmine leaves you, the sick gets sick, kid gets sick.
各种事情都会发生，不是吗？
All kinds of stuff goes on, doesn't it?
突然间就出现了这种巨大的动荡。
And all of a sudden there's this tremendous turmoil.
它能变得混乱不堪吗？
Can it get tumultuous?
回答我。
Answer me.
那里曾经变得混乱过吗？
Has it ever gotten tumultuous in there?
我是说，真的非常混乱的那种。
I mean, really tumultuous in there.
你能理解那种混乱程度吗？在1929年，高级主管们纷纷从华尔街20层高的建筑上跳下。
Can you understand that it could get so tumultuous that in 1929, senior executives were throwing themselves off the 20th Floor of Wall Street buildings?
我不是在问你会不会这么做？
I'm not saying would you do it?
请别这样做。
Please don't.
但你明白那就是自杀的根源吗？
But do you understand that that's where suicide comes from?
情况会变得艰难。
It gets tough in there.
我们来谈谈这个。
Let's talk about that.
它会达到飓风级别。
It gets hurricane level.
它会达到海啸级别。
It gets tsunami level.
它会变得难以置信且难以忍受，无论对错。
It gets unbelievable and unbearable, right or wrong.
那只是漂浮在完全相同思维之上的那只鸟。
That is just that bird floating on top of the exact same mind.
你明白吗？
You understand that?
但心灵已变得如此动荡，以至于被拖入水下，正在溺水，感觉就是这样，不是吗？
But the mind has become so tumultuous that it's being pulled under, it's drowning and it feels like, doesn't it?
我要淹死了。
I'm drowning.
我要死了。
I'm dying.
这正在杀死我。
It's killing me.
所以我告诉你们，你们每一个人以及其他所有人都能应对这种情况，能够平静心灵。
So I am telling you that you, every one of you and everyone else are capable of dealing with this, of of calming the mind.
你们有能力让它变得如此稳定，以至于太阳晒干翅膀，你会发现你可以飞翔，再也不会遇到那个问题了。
You are capable of it becoming so steady that the sun dries the wings and you find out you can fly and you never ever ever have that problem ever again.
你甚至不记得自己曾经在水中，曾经做过那些事。
You don't even remember when you used to be in the water and you used to do all that.
这就是解脱。
That's liberation.
这就是所谓的'解脱的灵魂'（Jivanmukta）的含义。
That's what's meant by Jivanmukta, the liberated soul.
他们已经解脱自我，超越了。
They have extricated themselves, transcended.
这就是所谓的超越，你明白吗？
That's what's called transcended, you understand that?
你已经把自己从这种依赖心智的状态中拉了出来。
You have pulled yourself out of this resting on the mind.
现在我想谈谈为什么你会依赖心智，以及我之前提到的——当你面对湖泊和水时，有力量会导致它产生涟漪。
Now I want to talk about why you're resting on the mind and what I said before when you deal with the lake, the water, there are forces that cause it to get that make wavelets.
这是它的自然状态。
It's natural state.
我告诉你，任何物理学家都会说，不去干扰水，不用任何外力触碰它，它会怎样？
I'm telling you, any physicist will tell you, leave water alone, don't touch it with any other force, what will it do?
变得平静。
Become stable.
它会直接平静下来，就此停止，再也不会有任何动静。
It would just settle right down and that's the end of it and never make another move.
它的自然状态就是平衡。
Its natural state is equilibrium.
它的自然状态需要外力作用才能改变。
Its natural state is it takes energy force to cause it to be other than that.
对不对？
Right or wrong?
所以牛顿说，每个作用力都有其相等的反作用力。
So Newton, every action is the equal and opposite reaction.
换句话说，如果雨滴落下产生一个作用力，就会有一个相等且相反的反作用力。
In other words, if a raindrop falls and there's an action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
把你的手伸进水里作为一个作用力，水会分散的程度正好与你手的质量相当。
Stick your hand in the water as an action and water will disperse exactly to the extent of the mass of your hand.
这就是正在发生的情况。
That's what's going on.
那么这如何应用到心智上呢？
So how does that translate to the mind?
为什么心智本该是、能够是、也本应是一处美丽、空灵、宁静的存在，直到你开始使用它？
Why is the mind that is supposed to be and can be and was meant to be a beautiful empty quiet thing until you go to use it.
在水面上漂浮并没有什么错。
There's nothing wrong with floating on the water.
如果鸟儿飞得高，我们下方就有一片美丽的湿地。
If the bird is flying high, we have a beautiful, wetland down there.
我看到鸟儿高飞，然后俯冲捕鱼，或者在水面漂浮。
I see birds flying high and they dive down to catch fish or they they float on them.
它们确实如此。
They do.
它们确实会晾干翅膀。
They literally dry their wings.
明白了吗？
Alright?
蓝鹭就是这样的。
Blue herons do that.
漂浮在水面上。
Floating on the water.
所以你可以和水玩得开心。
So you can have fun with the water.
欢迎你使用你的心智。
You're welcome to use your mind.
欢迎你根据你试图做的事情、试图达成的目标，在脑海中激起涟漪、产生思绪。
You're welcome to create riplets, thoughts in the mind in accordance to what you're trying to do, what you're trying to accomplish.
如果我坐在那里试图弄清楚为什么电流能通过电线，也许我应该产生一些想法。
If I'm sitting there trying to figure out why electricity flows through a wire, maybe I should create some thoughts.
我要创造一些想法来思考这个问题。
I'm going to create some thoughts to think about that.
这没什么不对的。
There's nothing wrong with that.
心灵是一个美丽的游乐场。
The mind is a beautiful playpen.
但当它自身不断制造这些涟漪与噪音，有时甚至走向极端将你拖垮时，它就不再是游乐场了。
But it's not a playpen when in and of itself it's creating all these ripples and all this noise and sometimes going way south and pulling you under.
你明白吗？
You understand that?
那时你将彻底迷失自我。
And you no longer have any idea of who you are.
你的本质变成了一个动荡不安的心灵，它渴望平静，竭力避免被打扰。
Who you are is this just tumultuous disturbed mind who's trying to come to peace, who's trying to not be disturbed.
你总是在试图避免被打扰。
You're always trying to not be disturbed.
我们能谈谈这个吗？
Can we talk about that?
我非常细致地描绘了那只鸟的画面。
I painted the picture very carefully about that bird.
明白吗？
All right?
我说的每个字都是正在发生的实情。
Every word I said was exactly what's happening.
我没有丝毫夸张。
I didn't do any exaggeration.
所以我刚才说，你的鸟儿浮在水面上，它发现如果水面波涛汹涌，就会很麻烦。
So I said, your bird is floating on the water and it noticed that if the water is tumultuous, it has trouble.
这可不妙。
It's not good.
因此它试图让水面恢复平静。
Therefore, it's trying to have the water not be tumultuous.
这就是你生命每分每秒在做的事。
That is what you're doing every single second of your life.
不，我只是想找份更好的工作。
No, I'm trying to get a better job.
我想找个女朋友或男朋友。
I'm trying to find a girlfriend or a boyfriend.
我想这样那样。
I'm trying to blah, blah, blah.
我想让人们接受并喜欢我。
I'm trying to get people to accept me and like me.
你试图通过找个女朋友或男朋友来安抚内心。
You are trying to quiet your mind by getting a girlfriend or a boyfriend.
你希望因为别人对你说好话，而让内心对你说好话。
You're trying to have your mind say nice things to you because other people say nice things to you.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
你根本不在乎。
You couldn't care less.
听说过'反话日'吗？
Ever hear of opposite day?
我们可以玩'相反日'吗？
Can we play opposite day?
好吧。
All right.
我们要玩'相反日'了。
We're gonna play opposite day.
对吧？
Right?
开始了。
Here it goes.
听我说。
Listen to me.
当我按下这个开关时，真希望我知道它在哪。
When I hit this switch, I wish I knew where it was.
当我按下这个开关时，如果有人走过来对你说，天哪。
When I hit this switch, right, if somebody walks up to you and says, oh my god.
展开剩余字幕（还有 480 条）
你比我上次见你时看起来好多了。
You look much better last time I saw you.
你看上去像是老了六万岁。
You look like you've aged 60,000 years.
明白吗？
Alright?
你是远古生物吗？
Are you ancient?
你经历了什么？
What happened to you?
你整个大脑都在尖叫'我的天啊'。
Your whole mind went, oh my god.
我太喜欢这样了。
I love that.
哦，再多说点。
Oh, talk more.
来吧。
Come on.
继续。
Keep going.
哦，这太美了。
Oh, that is so beautiful.
你是怎么想到这些话的？
How did you come up with those words?
它们太完美了。
They're perfect.
哇。
Wow.
谢谢。
Thank you.
如果你的意识这么说呢？
What if your mind said that?
现在是什么情况？
What what now?
你会喜欢的。
You'd love it.
你试图让人们对你和你说好话的原因是因为当他们这样做时，你的心会平静下来。
The reason you are trying to get people to say nice things about you and to you is because your mind gets quiet when they do it.
有人坐在那里说，我一生中从未像爱你这样爱过任何人。
Somebody sits there and says, I've never loved anyone in my life as much as I love you.
我甚至...我甚至说不出话来。
I don't even I can't even talk.
只是看着你。
Was just looking at you.
融化了我整个人。
Melts my whole.
你最近怎么样？
How are you doing?
对吧？
Right?
这不是因为他们说了什么。
That is not because of what they are saying.
而是因为它能让你的心静下来。
It is because it quiets your mind.
如果他们是个站在你卧室窗外的跟踪狂说这些话呢？
What if they were saying that and they were a stalker standing outside your bedroom window saying that?
你还好吗？
How you doing?
我就说到这里。
I rest my case.
好的。
Okay.
很高兴你理解了。
I'm glad you understand.
我告诉你，你对这个世界毫不在意。
I'm telling you, you don't care one iota about this world.
并不是说你已经冥想得足够超脱尘世了。
Not you've meditated enough that you've gotten beyond the world.
你对这个世界一点兴趣都没有。
You don't care one iota about this world.
没人在乎这个世界。
Nobody cares one iota about this world.
没有人。
Nobody.
世界上最贪婪、拼命敛财的富豪，对金钱和这个世界都漠不关心。
The richest person in the world who's greedy and trying to get more money couldn't care less about money and couldn't care less about this world.
当他们成为福布斯榜首富豪，看到自己的照片登上封面时，心里只会想'啊'。
It is that when they're the one who has the most money and they become Forbes number one billionaire and they see their picture on the cover of Forbes, right, their mind goes, Ah.
明白了吗？
All right?
因为我敢保证，如果前一天晚上他们做了一个梦，那种非常生动的梦，你知道的，就像神的启示或灵性之梦，对吧？
Because I guarantee you if the night before they had a dream, one of those really vivid dreams, you know, like a God dream, a spiritual dream, right?
而这个梦基本上告诉他们：如果你不幸成为世界首富并登上《福布斯》封面，你的余生将永无宁日与快乐。
And it basically said to them, If you ever have the misfortune of getting your picture on the cover of Forbes as the richest person in this world, you will never have another moment of peace and joy in your life.
人们会骚扰你、窃取你的财富、向你乞讨。
They will pick on you and steal from you and beg you.
你会成为地球上最可悲的人。
You'll be the sorriest person who ever walked the face of the earth.
你会希望自己只是第二名。
You will wish you were number two.
有人在听我说话吗，对吧？
Anybody listen to me, right?
你喜欢那些能让心灵平静的事物。
You like things because they quiet your mind.
当事情扰乱你的心神时，你就不喜欢它们了。
You don't like things when they disturb your mind.
事实并非相反。
It's not the other way around.
正是因为事物让心灵变得平静、安宁或舒适，你才感到舒适。
It's because the thing made the mind get still or quieter or comfortable that you became comfortable.
这就是你喜欢它的原因。
That's why you like it.
正是因为事物平息了混乱，比如站在一幅画前。
It is because the thing called turmoil stand in front of a painting.
看，美丽的莫奈、雷诺阿，我喜欢他们的画作。
Here, beautiful Monet, Renoir, I like them, painting.
明白吗？
Alright?
站在那里告诉我，天啊，这太美了。
Stand there and tell me, Oh my God, it's so beautiful.
那是因为你的心灵变得宁静了。
That is because your mind became quiet.
如果有人告诉你那是一幅被纳粹偷走的画作，还说了些乱七八糟的，你的心绪可能会因此大受影响。
If you had been told that that was a stolen Nazi painting that they had and blah blah blah, then your mind could get very disturbed about it.
你不会再说它美了。
You're not going to say it's beautiful.
这就是为什么人们说美在观者眼中。
That's why they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
错了。
Wrong.
美在观者心中。
Beauty is in the mind of the beholder.
只要稍微改变一下你的想法，它就不再美了，不是吗？
Just change your mind one little thing and it's not going be beautiful, is it?
花点时间体会一下这句话。
Sit with that for a second.
因为你就像那只鸟一样。
Because you are like that bird.
从那一刻起，你已经忘记了自己没有在专注。
From that point forward, you have forgotten that you're not paying attention.
而你现在试图做的，因为水对你的生活影响如此之大，你正想办法让水面平静下来。
And what you're trying to do now, because the water is affecting your life so much, you're trying to figure out how to get the water to be quiet.
你不明白。
You don't understand.
你甚至已经忘记了问题根源在于水这个概念。
You've left even the concept that it's the water.
你现在坐在这里说是因为我的思维方式、我的视线角度或是我之前做过什么。
You're sitting here saying it's how I'm thinking and how my eyes are looking and whether I did something before.
这是我的业力。
It's my karma.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
你试图把原因归结于你能控制的事物上。
You've tried to attribute it to things that are under your control.
水并不在鸟的控制之下，但水的状态决定了鸟的状态，因为鸟栖息其上。
The water is not under the bird's control, but the state of the water determines the state of the bird because he's resting on it.
鸟无法掌控它。
The bird can't handle it.
这不是我能控制的。
It's not under my control.
你无法掌控它。
You can't handle it.
这不是你能控制的。
It's not under your control.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
我不快乐。
I'm not happy.
我以为我会快乐的。
I thought I would be happy.
我们已经结婚五年了。
We've been married five years.
这段婚姻已经无法满足我了。
It's just not doing it for me anymore.
我不快乐，对吗？
I'm not happy, right?
你都做了些什么？
What have you done?
里面的水并不好。
The water's not nice inside.
不像我们初次相遇在蜜月期时那般舒适，现在你失业的事实让我很困扰。
It's not comfortable like it was when we first met in our honeymoon stage, Now the fact that you lost your job is disturbing me.
无论什么原因我们都不能有孩子，对吧？
The fact that we can't have children for whatever reason, right?
天啊，这段关系真的不适合我了。
Oh my God, it's just not working for me.
换句话说，我的内心不喜欢这样。
In other words, my mind doesn't like this.
有人能理解吗？
Does anybody understand that?
你甚至没有权利说，我不喜欢这样。
You don't even the right to say, I don't like this.
你正依赖着一个不愉快的思维。
You're resting on a mind that doesn't like it.
这就是你不喜欢的原因。
That's why you don't like it.
你明白吗？
You understand that?
你就是那个依附在烦恼意识上的意识体，●●●正在说些不●●●不愉快的话。
You are the consciousness that is resting on a disturbed mind that is saying not nice things.
对吗？
Correct?
我不想回家。
I don't want to come home.
我不想回家。
I don't want to come home.
他会在那里。
He'll be there.
和他相处让我不舒服，我不想和他说话。
I'm uncomfortable with him and I don't want to talk to him.
甚至连上帝都不懂我的感受。
Don't even God, he doesn't even understand how I feel.
哦，如果我现在告诉他，会伤害到他。
Oh, if I ever told him now I would hurt him.
我不想那样做。
I don't want to do that.
就这样。
There.
那个心思怎么样？
How's that mind?
有趣吗？
Fun?
对吧？
Right?
你曾经历过那种状态。
You've been there.
那是个非常混乱的心思。
That's a very disturbed mind.
你正依赖着那个心思。
You're resting on that mind.
因为你根本不知道如何修复你的心思。
Because you don't know anything about fixing your mind.
那并不是说'天啊，我该怎么修复我的心思？'
That's not it's like, Oh my God, how would I fix my mind?
这就是我，对吧？
It's who I am, right?
你需要改变世界，这样当它来临时，你的心才会喜欢它。
You need to fix the world so that when it comes in, your mind likes it.
现在，如果你从未听过我说过的任何话，你能理解这一点吗？
Now you if you never heard anything I ever said, do you understand that?
你不知道如何调整自己的心态。
You don't know how to fix your mind.
如果你的心在困扰你，就去调整它。
If your mind's bothering, you fix it.
如果你的心在说，我不知道是否还爱他，那就说你爱。
If your mind's saying, I don't know if I love him anymore, say that you do.
这样容易多了。
It's much easier.
如果你回到家，你可能会说，我迫不及待想回家。
What if you came home and you might say, I can't wait to come home.
天啊，这太棒了。
Oh my God, this is great.
我等不及要见到他了。
I can't wait to see him.
他丢了工作。
He lost his job.
他真的很需要我。
He really needs me.
这太棒了。
This is great.
我喜欢被需要的感觉。
I love to be needed.
有些人的想法就是这样的。
Some people's minds say that.
为什么你的不能呢？
Why can't yours?
换句话说，问题出在你的心态上。
In other words, the problem is your mind.
问题在于心态是紊乱的还是平静的。
The problem is that the mind is disturbed or that the mind is calm.
当你与丈夫产生矛盾时，你去上高尔夫或网球课，而那位高尔夫教练相当有趣，突然当他教你如何挥杆并轻轻拥抱你时，你的心就平静下来了。
When you go and you're having this trouble with your husband and you go take golf or tennis lessons and the golf pro is really kind of interesting and all of a sudden your mind becomes quiet when he shows you how to hit the forearm and hugs you a little bit.
你明白吗？
You understand that?
你遇到问题了。
You got a problem.
所以，你既为紊乱的心态所困扰，也为平静的心态所困扰。
So you got a problem with the disturbed mind, got a problem with the quiet mind.
突然间，你因为高尔夫球之类的事要离开家人。
All of a sudden you're leaving your family because of the golf ball or something.
你依赖着那种心态，却迷失了自我。
Are resting on that mind and you have lost your sense of self.
无论心境如何，你就如同那只鸟一般。
However the mind is, is how you are just like that bird.
甚至没有其他出路的概念，除非水面恢复平静。
There's not even any concept that there's any way out other than the water becoming quiet.
因此，你试图操控周围的世界，使其影响内心时能感到舒适安宁，或是避免心绪被扰乱。
Therefore, you try to manipulate the world around you so that when it comes in, the mind will become comfortable and calm and manipulate the world around you so that when it comes in, the mind will not become disturbed.
你明白了吗？
Do you see that?
你理解这一点吗？
Do you understand that?
这就是所有人都在做的事。
That's all everybody's doing.
对吧？
Right?
你是心灵的奴仆。
You are a servant of the mind.
无论你的心境如何，都会驱使你在外部世界采取行动。
Whatever your state of mind is will drive you to do things outside.
你会试图改变外部环境，操控外界，控制外界，这样当它反映到内心时，心智会说：哦，我喜欢这样。
You will try to change the outside, to manipulate the outside, to control the outside so that when it comes in the mind will go, Oh, I like that.
而不是：不，不，我不喜欢那样。
Instead of, No, no, I don't like that.
不。
No.
对还是错？
Right or wrong?
可曾有过这样的时刻，你的心智说：不，我不想去那里。
Has there ever been a time that your mind said, No, I don't want to go there.
我不喜欢那样。
I don't like that.
而你却感觉良好地去了？
That you felt good going?
你在嘲笑我。
You're laughing at me.
我是在嘲笑你。
I'm laughing at you.
我是说，这太荒谬了。
I mean, that's ridiculous.
它只是一个心智。
It's just a mind.
那里面不过是一潭水，可以泛起涟漪，也可以波澜不惊。
It's just a body of water in there that can make ripples or not make ripples.
对还是错。
Right or wrong.
那里可以变得很美好，不是吗？
It can get nice in there, can it?
那里也可能变得非常混乱，不是吗？
And it can get really disturbed in there, can it?
就像水一样。
Just like the water.
那与你无关。
That has nothing to do with you.
你才是那个正在经历这一切的人。
You are the one who's experiencing that.
如果你坐在那里对我说，天啊。
If you sit there and tell me, oh my god.
我的心好痛。
My heart's hurting me.
它在痛。
It's hurting.
自从他离开后，我的思绪让我发狂。
My mind's driving me crazy since he left.
我要问你一个非常简单的问题。
I'm gonna ask you a very simple question.
你不会喜欢的。
You won't like it.
我要问你，你怎么知道？
I'm gonna ask you, how do you know?
我在问你，你怎么知道？
I'm asking you, how do you know?
你怎么知道你的心在痛？
How do you know your heart hurts?
你从未问过自己这个问题。
You never ask yourself that question.
你说，我该如何停止它？
You said, how do I stop it?
别人能做些什么？
How can somebody do something?
我该怎么办？
What do I do?
你只关心如何让心不再疼痛。
All you care about is stopping your heart from hurting.
我问你怎么知道心在痛，因为答案是我正漂浮其中感受着它。
I'm asking you how you know it hurts because the answer is I'm in here floating on it.
哇哦。
Woah.
我在这里面。
I'm in here.
你是谁？
Who are you?
那个注意到心痛的你，究竟是谁？
Who are you who's in there that notices that the heart hurts?
因为你并非那颗疼痛的心。
Because you are not the hurting heart.
你说过'我的心在痛'。
You said my heart hurts.
谁的？
Whose?
‘我的’是一个所有格代词。
My is a possessive pronoun.
你的话其实是对的。
Your words are actually correct.
这才真是好笑的地方。
That's what's hilarious.
你的话非常、非常有灵性，你描述事物的方式，对吧？
Your words are very, very spiritual, the way you describe things, right?
哦，我的手好痛。
Oh, my hand hurts.
我不明白。
I don't understand.
我以为你就是你的身体。
I thought you were your body.
你说，'这是我的手。'
You said, It's my hand.
谁的？
Whose?
这是谁的手？
Whose hand is it?
我的钱包。
My purse.
我的钢琴。
My piano.
我的手。
My hand.
我不是一个拥有钢琴的身份。
I'm not an identity with a piano.
我不是一个拥有钱包的身份。
I'm not an identity with a purse.
我不是一个拥有汽车的身份。
I'm not an identity with a car.
我不是一个拥有手部的身份。
I'm not an identity with a hand.
我是那个注意到手并称其为我的存在。
I am the one who's noticing the hand and calling it mine.
你知道'我的'这个概念有多脆弱吗？
You know how tenuous mine is?
看着。
Watch this.
你走进一家汽车经销商。
You walk into a car dealership.
你恰好没有车。
You don't happen to own a car.
之前有人问过你：'你的车在哪？'
Somebody asked you before, Where's your car?
我没有车。
I don't have one.
你付了一些钱。
You put down some money.
你坐进车里。
You get into a car.
它是我的了。
It's mine.
这真有意思。
That's really funny.
它是我的了。
It's mine.
它怎么就成了你的？
How did it become yours?
对吧？
Right?
不是你。
It's not you.
你明白吗？
You understand?
这是你所拥有的物品。
It's a possession that you have.
车里的你在拥有车之前就已经存在。
You in there were in there before you had the car.
拥有车的你和现在的你是同一个人，不是吗？
You're the same you who has the car, are you not?
不过我告诉你，你不会喜欢这样的。
I am telling you though, you will not like it.
我其实在课程里讲过这个。
I actually said this in the course.
我觉得很滑稽，你站在那里盯着手看，当手被砍掉后，你还在那里盯着不再是手的位置看。
I feel funny about you are standing there staring at the hand and it gets chopped off, you're still there staring at the not hand.
是或不是？
Yes or no?
你一点都没变。
You have not changed one iota.
你内在的意识体完全相同，说着：这是我的手。
You are the exact same conscious being inside saying, This is my hand.
我的手怎么了？
What happened to my hand?
我的手在哪？
Where's my hand?
是同一个人。
It's the same person.
对还是错？
Right or wrong?
那就是你。
That is you.
那就是意识，存在的觉知。
That is the consciousness, the awareness of being.
这与你的内在状态完全相同。
It is the exact same thing with your inner state.
我的心在痛。
My heart hurts.
谁的心？
Whose heart?
那个注意到这里有个东西正在成为'心痛体验者'的存在。
The one who's noticing that there's a thing in here that's going am the Experiencer of the Hurting Heart.
它一直痛吗？
Has it always hurt?
没有。
No.
你怎么知道？
How do you know?
因为我那时在那里，而现在在这里。
Because I was in there then and I'm in here now.
我一直都在这里。
I've always been in here.
你在那里待了多久？
How long have been in there?
你12岁时心脏疼过吗？
Did your heart ever hurt when you were 12?
你知道吗？
Did you know?
当时知道的还是同一个你吗？
Was it the same you who knew?
你是那只鸟，是意识，是自我，漂浮在心灵的海洋上。
You are the bird, the consciousness, self, floating on the ocean of mind.
当心灵平静时，你就安然无恙。
When the mind is calm, you are fine.
当内心纷乱时，你便不复存在。
When the mind is tumultuous, you are not.
既然你明白这点，这便是你所知的根本。
Since you know this, this is the core of what you know.
对吧？
Right?
就像穴居人一样。
It's like cave people.
像是，又不像。
Like, not like.
我喜欢精液。
Me like cum.
我不喜欢混乱。
Me no like turmoil.
对还是错？
Right or wrong?
是谁教你这些的？
Who taught you that?
你的父母吗？
Your parents?
你需要上学才能学到这些吗？
Do you have to go to school to learn that?
不需要。
No.
这是最直观不过的了，不是吗？
That's as intuitive as it comes, isn't it?
明白了吗？
Alright?
我不想被淹没。
I don't wanna be drowning.
好吗？
Okay?
我喜欢这里舒适的感觉。
I like it being comfortable in here.
你当然喜欢。
Of course you do.
你当然喜欢。
Of course you do.
这样不是很棒吗？
Isn't that nice?
这话该由我来说。
I get to say that.
别放弃这个权利。
Don't give that up.
你永远不可能放弃这个。
You could never give that up.
你明白吗？
You understand that?
这是你天性的一部分。
That's part of your nature.
所以你的存在就在其中。
So your being is in there.
你正栖息在这片湖上。
You're resting on this lake.
你没有意识到这一点，因为你已深陷其中。
You don't realize that because you're so lost in it.
你栖息在这片湖上，只有当湖水平静时你才会感到安宁。
You're resting on this lake and you're only okay when the lake is okay.
当湖水汹涌时，你永远无法平静。
You're never okay when the lake is tumultuous.
明白了吗？
All right?
现在，你还不理解这一点。
Now, you don't understand that.
这就是瑜伽试图教给你的，我刚才告诉你的那些。
That's what yoga is trying to teach you, what I just told you.
就是我刚才告诉你的那个非常简单的道理。
That very simple thing I just told you.
你不是你的思想。
You are not your mind.
你正栖息于你的思想之上。
You are resting on your mind.
因此你正在经历你思想的状态。
Therefore you are experiencing the state of your mind.
你对此毫无办法，除了你注意到当外界事物对你说话时，有时你的思想会喜欢它并变得平静。
You have no idea what to do about it other than you have noticed that if something outside of you says something to you sometimes your mind likes it and it gets quiet.
而当外界事物对你说话时，有时你的思想不喜欢它就会变得动荡。
And if something outside of you says something to you sometimes your mind doesn't like it and it comes tumultuous.
你注意到这一点了吗？
Have you noticed that?
你有没有注意到，有时候你在建房子，某天你选了墙的颜色，但刷出来并不完全是你想象中的样子。
Sometimes have you noticed if you're building a house, someday you'll do that and they paint the wall with the color you picked, it doesn't always look exactly the way you thought it was going to.
注意‘想象’这个词，那其实是你的心念在运作——你以为会是什么样，现在每次走进房间，心念就会干扰你。
Notice the word thought, that's mind by the way that you thought it was going to and now every time you walk into the room the mind disturbs you.
有人对此有同感吗？
Who knows anything about that?
这一点都不好笑，对吧？
It's not funny, right?
就像你走进房间，心念突然说：天啊，真不敢相信我选了这种颜色。
It's like you walked into a room and the mind said, Oh my God, I can't believe I picked that color.
每个人都会这样。
Every single one.
真不敢相信我选了这种颜色。
I can't believe I picked that color.
我本该选另一个颜色的。
I should have picked the other one.
天啊。
Oh my God.
没想到会这样。
Didn't think that.
我该重新粉刷吗？
Should I paint it?
不，对他来说不值得再刷一遍。
No, it's not worth painting it to him.
不知道该怎么做。
Don't what to do.
你感到困扰。
You're disturbed.
你注意到了吗？
Have you noticed?
而有时候，你却刚好做对了。
And other times, you get it just right.
你说'恰到好处'是什么意思？
What does it mean you got it just right?
你的大脑认为这是对的。
Your mind says it's right.
是什么决定了是否恰到好处？
What determines whether it's just right?
你的大脑。
Your mind.

现在回到迈克尔·辛格关于停止陷入心念之水的讨论。
Now back to Michael Singer on ceasing to be caught in the waters of mind.
好的。
Alright.
既然你经历过这个，我就给你这个模型。
Since you have experienced this, I'm giving you the model.
你正漂浮在思绪之上。
You're floating on the mind.
当心绪平静时，你感觉良好，至少好一些。
When the mind is calm, you're fine, at least better.
而当心绪翻腾时，你就非常不好，明白吗？
And when the mind is tumultuous you're very not, okay?
以及介于两者之间的所有状态。
And everything in between.
所以现在你注意到外部世界的状态会影响你的心绪。
And so now you've noticed that states of the outside world affect your mind.
你注意到这一点了吗？
Have you noticed that yet?
明白吗？
Okay?
因此你在外界试图操控世界，这样当它进入时，你的心就能保持平静。
Therefore you are out there attempting to manipulate the world so that when it comes in, your mind becomes quiet.
你在外界试图操控世界，这样当它进入时，你的心就不会陷入混乱。
And you're out there attempting to manipulate the world so that when it comes in, your mind does not go into turmoil.
这样合理吗？
Fair enough?
有人想承认这点吗？
Anybody want to own that?
好的。
Okay.
祝你好运。
Good luck.
因为我告诉你，这完全就像鸟儿决定如何让水面平静一样。
Because I'm telling you that it's exactly the same as the bird deciding how to make the water quiet.
好吗？
All right?
所以你基本上觉得自己别无选择。
And so basically you feel you have no choice.
我别无选择。
I have no choice.
我不开心。
I'm not happy.
那是什么意思？
What does that mean?
你的状态不对劲。
Your mind is not okay.
所以我需要寻找另一段关系。
Therefore I need to find another relationship.
所以我需要换工作。
Therefore I need to change my job.
因此我需要这么做。
Therefore I need to do this.
因此我需要那么做。
Therefore I need to do that.
它简直在操控你。
It literally runs you.
它试图找出那是最有趣的部分。
It tries to figure out that that's the most funny part.
你准备好了吗？
Are you ready?
你的头脑在做这一切。
Your mind is doing all this.
当你想修复它时，你却去找同一个头脑。
When you want to fix it you go to the exact same mind.
你听我说。
You listen to me.
我在训斥你。
I'm scolding you.
你去问那个同样不正常的头脑，外面需要发生什么才能让我好起来。
You go to the exact same mind that isn't okay and ask it what needs to happen outside so that I am okay.
这样你就没事了。
So you are okay.
天啊。
Oh my god.
这简直难以置信。
That's unbelievable.
对吧？
Right?
如果某件事不对劲，就不知道如何恢复正常。
If something is not okay, doesn't know how to be okay.
这不对劲。
It's not okay.
不要嫉妒然后去问嫉妒如何不嫉妒。
Don't be jealous and then ask jealousy about how to not be jealous.
嫉妒不知道如何不嫉妒。
Jealousy does not know how not to be jealous.
为什么？
Why?
因为嫉妒就是嫉妒的。
Because jealousy is jealous.
你明白吗？
Do you understand that?
你必须从陷入那种状态中抽离出来，才能获得清晰。
You have to abstract from being caught in that state to where you get clarity.
现在你可以观察并考虑改变事情了。
Now you can look and see about changing things.
但这不是你该做的。
But that's not what you do.
我已经告诉你终极答案了。
I've told you the ultimate.
我的头脑完全混乱了。
I have a totally disturbed mind.
我正在戒断中。
I'm on withdrawal.
我之前上瘾了，你知道的，对任何东西。
I was hooked on, you know, whatever.
而我正试图戒除瘾症。
And I'm trying to go through withdrawal.
我的思绪很混乱。
My mind's disturbed.
你觉得你的大脑在告诉你做什么？
What do you think your mind's telling you to do?
再来一剂。
Get a hit.
就再来一次。
Just once more.
你会没事的。
You'll be okay.
如果你能再来一次，就能冷静下来，然后就能继续做事了。
If if you can get a hit, you'll calm down, then you can get off to stuff.
什么？
What?
你听到了吗？
Do you do you hear it?
你在床上想要什么才会说那种话？
What do you want in bed that says that?
如果你能再来一次，就一次，我就能恢复体力。
If you can just just once more, alright, I can get my strength back.
如果我恢复体力，就能挺过这次戒断。
If I have my strength back, I'll be able to go through this draw.
这在那种思维模式下确实说得通。
It literally makes sense to that mind.
它还会说这样的话。
And it says stuff like this.
我认识一些试图戒烟的人。
I know people that try to stop smoking.
他们戒不掉。
They can't.
他们尝试过很多次。
They tried many times.
所以现在我看见他们在店里抽烟。
So now I see them smoking in store.
你在干什么？
What are you doing?
唉，我就是戒不掉烟，对吧？
Well, I had trouble not smoking, right?
所以我考虑了一下。
So I thought about it.
我说，如果我一天抽两包烟而不是一包，我就会抽到恶心，这样就能戒烟了。
I said, If I smoke two packs a day instead of one, I'll get so sick of it that that'll stop me from smoking.
还真有人这么干。
And people actually do that.
我是认真的。
I'm serious.
你根本想不到心智受扰时会说出什么话。
You have no idea what the mind's gonna say when it's disturbed.
是不是？
Yes or no?
我们这是在交流吗？
Are we having a communication here?
好吧。
Alright.
所以你依赖自己的心智已经够糟糕了。
So it's bad enough that you rest on your mind.
心智完全受影响已经够糟了，我们稍后再谈为什么心智会被外界影响。
It's bad enough that the mind is totally we'll talk about why the mind is affected by the outside world in a minute.
但它告诉你它正在受影响，你却不知道该怎么办，于是你在心智紊乱时去问它：我该怎么做才能改变外界？
But it told that it's being affected by it but you don't know what to do anything so what you do is go to the disturbed mind while it's disturbed and say, What should I do to change the outside?
对吧？
Right?
我不喜欢她对我说的话。
I don't like what she's saying to me.
说她要离开我。
Says, She's going to leave me.
明白吗？
All right?
她说她要离开我。
She says, She's to leave me.
我该怎么办？
What should I do?
打她。
Hit her.
它不就是这么告诉他们的吗？
Isn't that what it tells them?
对吧？
Right?
我在监狱工作了三十年。
I did thirty years of prison work.
你别想让我难堪。
You're not going to embarrass me.
明白吗？
All right?
我曾进入过终身监禁的最高安全级别监狱。
I went in maximum security prison in for life.
三十年来我打过交道的每一个人。
Everybody I dealt with for thirty years.
对吧？
Right?
每一个都是这样，如果我们有过这样的对话，我们就是这样交谈的，就像我和你说话一样，每一个都笑着说过：这就是我进来的原因。
Every single one, if we ever had a conversation like this, and that's how we talk like this, just like I talked to you, every single one smiled and said, That's why I'm in here.
你进来没有别的原因，对吧？
There ain't no other reason you're in here, right?
你爱上了某人想结婚，想订婚，却身无分文。
You fell in love with somebody and you want to get married, you want to engage, you have absolutely no money.
对吧？
Right?
你看到那边有家珠宝店就走进去偷东西。
And you see a jewelry store over there and you walk and steal the thing.
是谁给你出的这个主意？
Who gave you that idea?
我的想法。
My mind.
你当时的表情让人觉得这是个好主意。
Your expression seemed like a good idea at the time.
这正是我在说的。
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
这太真实了。
This is so real.
我希望你能承认它。
I want you to own it.
所以基本上你是在依赖这个想法。
So basically you are resting on this mind.
心智会因不同事物而平静或困扰，这些你并不理解。
The mind gets calm or disturbed by different things, which you don't understand.
你不明白它为何会那样。
You don't understand why it does that.
你只希望一切顺利。
You just want it to be nice.
就像鸟儿一样，对吧？
Just like the bird, right?
你确实会像那只鸟儿一样，编造各种方法让它实现。
And you do get like that bird and make up all kinds of things about how to make it happen.
看。
Watch.
无论你多大年纪，当你感到不安，对生活条件不满意时，你就会开始思考。
You're whatever age you are and you're disturbed, you're not happy with your living conditions, so you start thinking.
好吧，看看我是否能加薪。
Well, let's see if I can get the raise.
等我做到了，我就能利用这笔钱。
By the time I do that, I can leverage the money.
我投资市场并得到回报。
I get invested in the market and get that.
我听说那些新比特币在过去八个月里涨了800%。
And I heard those new Bitcoins went up 800% in the last eight months.
我要把我所有的钱都投进比特币。
I'm going to put all my money into the Bitcoins.
顺便说一句，别这样。
Don't, by the way.
然后你开始了，并且你喜欢那样。
And you start and you like that.
全都想明白了，对吧？
Figure it all out, right?
然后我会更富有，能买辆好车，这样就能吸引合适的人，因为现在的我不想以目前的状态吸引任何人。
Then I'll be wealthier and I'll be able to have a nice car so I'll attract the right person to me because now I don't want to attract anybody to me the way I am now.
现在对我感兴趣的那种人，等我达到目标后就不会再感兴趣了。
The type of person that would be interested in me now, I won't be interested in later when I go where I'm going.
听起来是不是很合理？
Doesn't it sound sensible?
好吧，很好！
All right, good!
对吧？
All right?
所以当思维处于混乱时，你会去审视它，它试图理清头绪——你终其一生检查每个念头，发现思维唯一在做的事就是抱怨现状不好，并试图揣测他人需要变成什么样才能让你感觉良好。
So the mind, when it is in disturbance, you go to that mind and it tries to figure out, you check it out, every thought your entire life, the only thing your mind has done is complain that it's not okay and try to figure out what everybody else needs to be so you can be okay.
而思维从未说过‘我不好’。
And no time in the mind say I'm not okay.
我该闭嘴了。
I should shut up.
不，它没说过这话。
No, it didn't say that.
明白吗？
Okay?
当你质问思维说：告诉我，我该怎么处理这混乱？
And when you went to the mind and said, mine, what do I do about this turmoil?
它没说'我不知道'。
It didn't say, I don't know.
我只是个心智。
I'm just a mind.
它没那么说。
It didn't say that.
它试图想明白。
It tried to figure it out.
它只是一直在思考。
It just kept thinking.
思考、思考、再思考，不是吗？
Thinking, thinking, thinking, doesn't it?
这就是为什么它一直在思考。
That's why it's thinking all the time.
人们问我，为什么头脑中的那个声音不闭嘴？
People ask me, why is that voice in the head not shut up?
因为是你让它去尝试弄明白的。
Because you told it to try to figure it out.
它一直试图做的就只是弄明白这件事。
That's all it's trying to do is figure it out all the time.
让我们观察它。
Let's watch it.
只管观察它。
Just watch it.
我已经观察它很长时间了。
I've watched it for a long time.
它试图弄清楚哪里出了问题以及该如何应对。
It's trying to figure out what's wrong and what to do about it.
但从不说问题在于我在抱怨。
But at no time to say what's wrong is I'm complaining.
它问的是：我该如何解决我正在抱怨的问题？
It says how do I fix what I'm complaining about?
你明白吗？
You understand that?
好的。
All right.
这一切是怎么回事？
What is all that about?
这就是那只鸟正在经历的。
It's what the bird is going through.
你正躺在意识上。
You're lying on the mind.
当意识混乱时，你无法将自己与意识区分开。
When the mind is disturbed, you don't distinguish yourself from the mind.
当你的意识混乱时，你也会感到混乱。
When your mind's disturbed, you're disturbed.
所以你就在那里漂浮着。
So you're floating on there.
你唯一知道如何保持平静的方式，因为这是心灵唯一知道的方式，就是当外界事物进入时，心灵安静下来，你就好了。
The only way you know to be okay, because that's the only way the mind knows, is when the outside world comes in, the mind gets quiet, you're okay.
所以我需要弄清楚外界需要是什么样子。
So I need to figure out how the outside world needs to be.
我是说细致入微的每一个细节，尤其是感情关系。
And I mean down to the slightest detail, especially a relationship.
天啊，你完全清楚他或她应该是什么样子的，对吧？
Oh my God, you know exactly how he or she's supposed to be, right?
好的。
Okay.
如果他们不是那样的话，嗯，我们会想办法解决的。
And if they're not that way, well, we'll work on them.
你们的关系怎么样？
How's your relationship?
正在进行中。
Work in process.
