11 THE WORLD 物质世界
All behaviour, every act in this world, is based on the desire for love. This desire causes us to seek for approval, acceptance, attention, power, fame, and fortune. Unfortunately, however, love cannot be gotten this way, and we become frustrated and unhappy.
世界上，人类的所有行为无不是为了得到爱，这种渴望使让我们寻求认可、接纳、关注、权力、名望和财富。不幸的是，无论通过这种方式获得多少爱，我们还会沮丧，还会不快乐。
Only by loving can we find love and behappy. Man was never intended to be a victim of circumstances. He is the controller of them, but has lost awareness of this fact. When he regains his awareness of it, he again becomes the master of circumstances, and consciously controls his environment.
只有去爱，才能得到爱和幸福。人不会有意识地让自己痛苦，完全可以控制自己的思想，只有当觉知缺席，在无意识的状态时才会进入痛苦模式。当意识到这一点时，我们就可以成为周遭境遇的主人，并能有意识地改变自己的处境，创造真正想要的生活。
Matter, energy, space, and time are in mind. When man realizes this, he has mental control over them and controls them at his will. There is no intelligence in matter. The world is nothing but matter. The intelligence that is in man, and it determines this world.
当我们意识到身边的所有事件、能量、空间和时间都是头脑的概念时，我们就拿回了自己的力量，就可以（从思想上）决定如何看待、回应这个世界。世界是物质构成的，它本身没有智慧，而人有，是内在的认知决定了我们看到怎样的世界。
However. man is unconsciously determining the world. When he wakes up to this, he gains conscious control. Perceiving the Reality one gains dominion.
事与愿违，很多时间我们是在不知不觉中创造着自己人生。只有从无意识中醒来，才能拿回意识的控制力量。
Creation is a mental projection. The Reality is just behind it! The world does not disappear on seeing the Reality; the wrong concept of it does! The world is a school in which there is only limitation. The lessons on limitations teach us how to surmount them until we are limitless. Life in the world necessitates misery, as it is in the realm of limitation. Be in the world, but not of it! When one cannot bear being alone with his thoughts, he seeks entertainment. Entertainment is escaping, runningaway from one's thoughts.
创造是在头脑内完成的，意识通过起心动念完成外在物质世界的创造。因此，关注、回到内在并不会使物质世界消失，这是一个错误概念。
物质世界让我们有机会认识到它的局限性，认识到这一点才能超越并突破局限，抵达无限之境。苦尽甘来，痛苦的尽头也能带来超越痛苦的意愿。活在世界，但不被世界禁锢！
Happiness needs no entertainment. Be happyby loving. The more one loves, the less one needs entertainment. Socializing is looking for love in the wrong place. It's looking for love and acceptance from people. And what we really want is the love of God. Love of God is found only by going within in quietness. It is loving, and not looking for love.
娱乐不能得到不变的喜悦，去爱才能带来真正的幸福，付出的爱越多，越不需要娱乐。在社交中寻找爱与认同是走错了方向，我们真正想得到的是无条件的爱（上帝的爱），它只存在于没有躁动的心中。去爱才能感受到爱，而不是寻求爱。
Pleasures gained in the world are momentary. Any joy gained through understanding the Truth or the Reality is eternally ours. You want to help the world? Help yourself. Only then may you do so. You cannot show others unless you know yourself. That which we give out to the world we receive in return, -is the law of compensation (karma). Many know this but few realize that karma is created in the thought rather than the act.
从外在世界获得的快乐是短暂的，只有通过证悟真理、与世界合一获得的快乐才是永恒的。先拯救自己，才能帮助世界。只有自己体验了真理，才能教导和引领他人。给出什么，体验什么，是这个世界的运作法则（业力）。似乎许多人都知道这句话，但很少有人知道起心动念就是业力，并非只有行动才有业力。
If we want good and happy lives it is necessary to think good and happy thoughts only. If one gossips about others, one does not hurt the other one, but hurts himself in accord with the law of compensation. Gossip is a form of hatred because it tears down the other. When one judges, the ego is playing God. Anything we deem right or wrong is judging. Any thinking that is 'anti' (against) is judgement. When there is mutuality and harmlessness there is no judgement. Harmlessness and mutuality always direct one into correct behavior. There's no right or wrong, good or bad. There's only experiencing for the purpose of learning the Reality.
要想生活如我们期望的一样美好，就去觉察内心有多少美好和快乐的想法吧！如果一个人喜欢背地里谈论是是非非，根据业力法则，那些负面语言本身就在伤害自己。八卦是一种仇恨的表现，它带来伤害。当一个人纠结、评判时，自我充当了上帝的角色。对错、是非都是在评判。任何反对的念头也是。和谐、互助、共存的关系里一定没有评判；设身处地、温和的心自然会带来美好的言行。没有纯粹的对错、好坏，一切都是我们成长的功课。
There's nothing wrong with the world when you see it alright. The only way out of the world is through the world by seeing every atom of it as your Self. Socializing and entertainment are wasting time because what we are really looking for (constant and unlimited joy) is not there.
当我们用真相的眼光看世界时，没有任何问题。摆脱物质世界限制的唯一途径是，体验到世界上小到原子的物质都是我们自己，才能超越物质的限制。在社交和娱乐里寻找爱、摆脱烦恼只能浪费时间，因为永恒不变的喜悦不在外在的人事物中。
Time used in releasing meditation and selfless service is the most useful time. It leads to joy infinite. If each moment wasted in pursuit of the non-Self be utilized in pursuit of the Self, realization will soon follow. Work or action need not be an obstruction to Self-Realization. The search for your Self can always go on. One should work or act with nonattachment, and take the attitude that he is not the doer. Just be the witness. Then releasing meditation can go on, and through practice, it becomes constant.
把时间用到释放、冥想和无私的服务才是有价值的，才能带来不变的快乐。如果把浪费的时间全部用于追求真我，我们很快就会见到真我。日常生活并不会妨碍我们寻找真我，寻找真我完全可以贯彻于日常生活中。入世工作、生活，但不迷失于世界。保持入世的身，出世的心，做一个旁观者。持续地释放、冥想，让心平安、更持续地平安。
A night dream best explains this world. All suffering in a nightmare is real to us while we are dreaming. The entire creation of the world, its characters, and our part in it, -all of these, while we are dreaming, seem real. It is only when we awaken that we become aware that it never was, and that is all subjective.
用梦境来解释这个世界非常贴切。做梦时，痛苦对我们来说如此真实。在梦中，所有的人事物、我们所扮演的角色与我们白天的世界没有什么两样，只有醒来时，我们才会意识到梦是虚幻的，是我们自己想象出来的。
Likewise, when we awaken from this world,we say that it never was, and that it is subjective. Then we see the Reality, the singular substance of the world which is just behind it. In the most limited state called wakefulness, one must see that he is limitless. Awaking from this wakeful state awakens one to his unlimited Self.
与夜梦一样，当我们从白天的世界睡去，在夜梦里，白天也好像没有发生过，也是主观的。当我们从白天和黑夜的两个梦境里醒来时，我们才能见到真相，世界背后的真相——物质的本质。一个人从极端的有限看到觉醒时，必然被它的无限所震撼。觉醒后必惊叹于我们本来就是醒着的那个“无限的真我”。
