如果你有很严重的抑郁，存在也会帮助它——百万倍多的抑郁会来到你身上

负向的空(emptiness) 是无用的。它就像是某些东西的缺席。正向的空是某些东西的存在，而不是缺席; 这是正向的空有力量的原因。负向的空是头脑在悲伤、沮丧的状态 - 你只是陷落在你的内在，如此而已。感觉失败，感觉苦闷，感觉无处不在的墙让你无法穿越，感觉无能，你指责，你谴责。

Negative emptiness is useless. It is simply the absence of something. Positive emptiness is presence of something, not absence; that's why positive emptiness becomes a power. Negative emptiness becomes a sad, depressed state of mind -- you simply cave yourself inwards, that's all. Feeling a failure, feeling dejected, feeling everywhere the wall that you cannot cross, feeling impotent, you denounce, you condemn.

但是这不是成长，这是退化。在深处的内在，你无法绽放，因为只有了解才能绽放，从不是从沮丧而来，而如果你无法绽放，存在无法将花朵撒落于你。存在只是在响应你: 不管你在什么状态，存在给与的多于那个。如果你的内在有很多花朵绽放，一百万倍多的花朵将会洒落于你。

But this is not a growth, this is a regression. And deep inside you cannot flower, because only understanding flowers, never depression, and if you cannot flower, existence is not going to shower flowers on you. Existence simply responds to you: whatsoever you are, existence gives you more of that. If you have many flowers within your being flowering

如果你有很严重的抑郁，存在也会帮助它 - 一百万倍多的抑郁会来到你身上。不管你在什么状态，它将会来敲你的门。不管你在什么状态，它会给你越来越多。

If you have a deep depression, the existence helps that too -- a million times more depression will come to you. Whatsoever you are will knock at your door. Whatsoever you are will be given to you more and more.

所以要很小心，很警觉。记住，崇高的空是一种正向的现象。一个人并不是一个失败者，一个人只是看着那个事情，然后了解到梦是没有办法被满足的。然后一个人从来不会觉得悲伤，一个人会觉得很高兴说他能够了解到梦是没有办法被满足的。一个人从来不会觉得沮丧或失望，一个人只会觉得很高兴，很喜乐，因为他了解到：现在我将不必去尝试那个不可能的，现在我将不必去尝试那个徒劳无功的。一个人从来不会说那个被欲求的客体是错的。

So be careful and be alert. And remember, a sublime emptiness is a positive phenomenon. One is not a failure, one simply looks at the thing and understands that dreams cannot be fulfilled. And then one never feels sad, one feels happy that one has come to this understanding that dreams cannot be fulfilled. One never feels depressed, hopeless, one feels simply happy and blissful because one has come to an understandinG: Now I will not try the impossible, now I will not try the futile. And one NEVER says that the object of desire is wrong; 

当你处于正向的崇高的空，你会说欲望是错的，而不是说被欲求的客体是错的，这就是那个差别。在负向的空里面，你会说那个被欲求的客体是错的，所以要改变那个客体！如果它是财富、金钱或权力，那么就抛弃它！将那个客体改变成神、解放或天堂——改变客体！

when you are in positive sublime emptiness, you say desire is wrong, not the object of desire -- this is the difference. In negative emptiness you say the object of desire is wrong, so change the object! If it is wealth, money, power -- drop it! Make the object God, liberation, heaven -- change the object!

如果那个空是完美的，崇高的，正向的，你不会将客体看成是错的，你只是会了解到那个欲望是没有用的；客体没有问题，但欲望是没有用的。那么你就不会将你的欲望从一个客体改变到另外一个客体，你只会抛弃那个欲望本身。

If emptiness is perfect and sublime and positive you don't see the object as wrong, you simply see that desire is futile; objects are okay, but desire is futile. Then you don't change your desire from one object to another object, you simply drop the desire itself.

没有欲望，你就开花了；有欲望，你就变得越来越瘫痪，越来越死气沉沉。

Nondesiring, you flower. Desiring, you become more and more paralyzed and dead.
