Man w me is just like a : very small, confined, l, and that's the root cause of misery, to feel bounded, to feel encapsulated, to feel small. Because of this feeling one starts compensating; hence the ego. One feels small, one does not want to feel small. One feels , one feels hurt because of , and the complex creates its opposite, the ego.

　　不静心的人就像一滴露珠：非常渺小、局限、受限，那就是痛苦的根源——感到被束缚、感到被困、感到渺小。因为这种感觉，一个人开始去弥补；所以才有自我。他感到渺小，他不想感到渺小。他感到卑微，因为自卑他感到受伤，自卑感创造出了它的对立面，也就是自我。

　　The ego is an that "I am not l", that "I am omn", that "I am tremen powerful", that "I am this, I am that". Through money, power, prestige, one goes on proving that "I am not . Who says I am ?"

　　自我是一个幻象——“我并不受限”、“我无所不能”、“我非常强大”、“我是这个，我是那个”的幻象。通过金钱、权力、名誉，一个人不停的证明“我并不差，谁说我差了？”

　　The ego exists in the same proportion as you feel . The proportion is exactly the same. The more you feel, the more egoistic you become. The ego is a compensation, but because it is it does not help in the long run. It is a very short-s measure. It can keep you in for a while but again an the reality asserts. Deep down, hidden behind the facade of the ego you know the wound, that you are small, that you are l by birth an, that you are l by the body, by the mind, that you are l by time an. It is to hide it forever. It is such a reality.

　　你有多自卑，自我就有多大。那个比例是相同的。你越自卑，你就越自我。自我是一种补偿，但因为它是虚幻的，从长远来看它并没有帮助。它是一个非常目光短浅的措施。它能让你在错觉里待一会儿，但实相会一再的显现出来。内心深处，在自我的表象背后，你知道那个伤痛——你是渺小的，你被生死所限，你被身体、被头脑所限，你被时空所限。把它永远隐藏起来是不可能的。事实如此。

　　ut, if one enters into me a great revolution happens: a radical change sets in. The ; one finds something oceanic.

　　但是，如果一个人进入了静心，伟大的革命会发生，巨大的改变会发生。露珠消失了，他找到了某些海洋般的东西。

　　Man is a because he feels with the body, with the mind. Me is the awareness that "I am not the body and not the mind!" The moment you become aware that you are not the body and the mind, su all boun ; they were created by your . Su you are no more in the prison.

　　人是一滴露珠，因为他认同于身体，认同于头脑。静心就是觉知到“我不是身体，也不是头脑！”一旦你觉察到你不是身体和头脑，突然所有的界限都消失了；它们是由你的认同制造出来的。突然你不再在监狱里了。

　　The prison was , it was your creation. An the prison was all your efforts to get out of it were . The ego is an effort to get out of an prison. It is like a me which is but is trying to cure some . And an always finds some me...

　　监狱是虚幻的，它是你的创造。因为监狱是虚幻的，所以你试图摆脱它的所有努力也是虚幻的。自我是摆脱虚幻的监狱的努力。它就像是药，药本身是虚幻的，但它试图治好某些虚幻的疾病。虚幻的疾病总是会找到一些虚幻的药物……

　　Me is a simple process of knowing the reality as it is. It is s, it is awareness, it is watchfulness, it is w. An is the key, because when you w something you cannot remain with it. 

　　觉知是一个知晓如是的实相的过程。它是宁静，它是觉知，它是警觉，它是观照。观照是关键，因为当你观照一样东西时，你无法继续认同于它。

　　The moment you w something you are separate from it. The w is never the w. If you can w your body you are transcen to the body, beyond the body. If you can watch your mind you are beyond the mind. If you can watch your feelings you are beyond the heart, an are the three l.

　　一旦你观照一样东西，你就跟它分离了。观照永远不是被观照物。如果你能观照你的身体，你就超越了身体。如果你能观照你的头脑，你就超越了头脑。如果你能观照你的感受，你就超越了心，那是三大限制。

　　Once you know your transcendence you feel oceanic, vast. Then there is no need for the ego. The ego cannot be , because in the first place it doesn't exist. But in me it .

　　一旦你知晓了自己的超然，你就感到犹如海洋一般、浩瀚。于是不需要自我了。自我无法被放下，因为首先它并不存在。但它会在静心中消失。

　　And this is where from all so-calle. They all say "Drop the ego, then you can enter into me". That is sheer nonsense! It is lying, like telling a person that "First you get healthy then you can use the me. First you get healthy". If that is the requ to use the me then the whole thing is absurd. For what the me has to be used then? And this is what has been taught for centuries: drop the ego, so that you can enter into me. This is not possible.

　　这就是我跟所谓的传统不一样的地方。他们全都说“放下自我，这样你就能进入静心。”那完全是胡扯！它是谎言，就像告诉一个人，“你先健康起来，然后你就能吃药了。你先健康起来。”如果那是吃药的要求，那么整件事很荒唐。到那时候还吃药干嘛？这就是千百年来一直被教导的：放下自我，这样你就能进入静心。这是不可能的。

　　o the people who try to drop the ego they start having a new kind of ego, far more subtler -- the ego of humbleness, the ego of egolessness. Again they are trapped. It is bound to happen, it is .

　　所以那些试图放下自我的人开始有了一种新的、微妙的多的自我谦虚的自我，无我的自我。他们又被困住了。它注定会发生，它是不可避免的。

　　My approach is just the opposite: do not be bothered by the ego. Go to the roots. Why you have created the ego? -- because you feel so you want to create something big aroun to hide your l. 

　　我的方式相反：别被自我困扰。去到根源。为什么你创造出了自我？因为你感到自卑，所以你想在你身边创造出一些伟大的东西，来隐藏你的局限。

　　You want to brag, you want to puff your ego as big as possible; like a balloon you go on puffing it. But the cause is an is cause of . So the you go into the roots you will find the basic of humanity is ; hence the only me that is going to cure is w. W , and then you need not drop the ego because there is no ego to be found.

　　你想吹嘘，你想让你的自我尽可能的膨胀；就像你不停的吹气球一样。但内在，原因是自卑，自卑是认同导致的。所以你越深入根源，你就会发现人根本的疾病是认同；因此唯一能治疗的药物就是观照。观照会摧毁认同，于是你不需要放下自我，因为根本找不到自我。

　　And to experience oneself in one's vastness, , eternity, is the moment of bliss, the moment of truth, the moment of real. That is the ultimate goal of sannyas.

　　在自己的浩瀚、无限、永恒之中体验自己，那一刻极乐发生了，那一刻真理显现了，那一刻觉悟发生了。那就是修行的终极目标。
