當(dāng)一個(gè)人說(shuō)“我相信”時(shí),，一個(gè)人限制了思想，把信念變成了一種指導(dǎo)和引導(dǎo)自己生活的模式,，從而使心變得狹隘,、固化，無(wú)法適應(yīng)生活和真實(shí),。

A man whose thought-emotion is based on faith, and so on belief, must of necessity be unbalanced, for his belief is merely a wish-fulfilment.

一個(gè)人的思想情感是建立在信仰，相信等等之上的,，必然是不平衡的,，因?yàn)樗男叛鲋皇且环N愿望的實(shí)現(xiàn),。

When people say that they believe in reincarnation, in immortality, in God, these are but emotional cravings which to them become objectified concepts and facts.

當(dāng)人們說(shuō)他們相信輪回，不朽,，相信上帝時(shí),，這些只是情感上的渴望，對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)成為客觀化的概念和事實(shí),。

They can discover actuality only when they have understood and dissolved the process of ignorance.

他們只有理解并消解了無(wú)明的過(guò)程,，才能發(fā)現(xiàn)事實(shí)。

When one says, 'I believe', one limits thought, and turns belief into a pattern according to which one guides and conducts one's life, thus allowing the mind-heart to become narrow, crystallized, and incapable of adjustment to life and reality.

當(dāng)一個(gè)人說(shuō)“我相信”時(shí),，一個(gè)人限制了思想,，把信念變成了一種指導(dǎo)和引導(dǎo)自己生活的模式，從而使心變得狹隘,、固化,，無(wú)法適應(yīng)生活和真實(shí)。

With most people, belief becomes merely an escape from the conflict and confusion of life.

對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō),，信仰只是一種逃避生活沖突和混亂的方式,。

Belief must not be confused with intuition, and intuition is not wishfulfilment.

信仰不能與直覺(jué)混為一談，直覺(jué)不是愿望的實(shí)現(xiàn),。

Belief, as I have tried to point out, is based on escape, on frustration, on limitation, and this very belief prevents the mind-heart from dissolving its own self-created ignorance.

正如我試圖指出的那樣,，信念是基于逃避、挫折和限制,，而正是這種信念阻止了心-腦消解它自己創(chuàng)造的無(wú)知,。

So each one has the capacity, the power, to be either sane, balanced, or otherwise.

所以每個(gè)人都有能力、力量,，要么是理智的,，平衡的，要么是其他的,。

To discover whether one is balanced, one must start negatively, not with assertions, dogmas and beliefs.

要發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)人是否平衡,，必須從被動(dòng)開(kāi)始，而不是斷言,、教條和信念,。

If one can think profoundly, then one will become aware of the extraordinary beauty of intelligent completeness.

如果一個(gè)人能夠深入思考，那么就會(huì)意識(shí)到智慧完整的非凡之美,。
