忽视内在的人始终是无知的。不忽视内在,是智慧的开始。
我喜欢“无知”这个词,它意味着有些事情被忽视了,有些事情被错过了,你并没有留意它。
有些事情在那里——它一直都在——但是你一直粗心大意忽略了它。或许正因为它一直都在,所以才容易被忽视。
我们经常忽视那些一直在的东西;我们总是把焦点放在那新的上,因为新的带来改变。如果狗的身边没有东西在移动,它可以一直的坐在那儿——它可以休息,它可以做梦。
只有有一点风吹草动,它立刻就会警觉起来。即便一片叶子落了下来,它也会吠叫。这正是头脑的状态;只有当有些东西改变了它才会去留意,然后它就再度的沉睡。
而我们内在的宝藏一直都跟我们在一起。忽视它是非常容易的,我们已经学会了忽视它。这就是“无知”这个词的含义。让你的探寻变成不忽视内在的开始,那么觉醒会自己发生。
当爱觉醒了,生命有了一番全然不同的味道。它有了琼浆玉露的味道,它有了永恒和不朽的味道。
IGNORANCE
Ignoring the inner, one remains ignorant. Not ignoring the inner is the beginning of wisdom. I like this word ignorance. It means something has been ignored,something has been bypassed, you have not taken note of it.
Something is there-it has always been there--but you have been negligent of it. Maybe because it is always there it can be ignored easily. We always ignore that which is always there; we always take note of the new, because the new brings change.The dog can go on sitting if nothing moves around him--he can rest, he can dream.Let anything move and he is immediately alert. Even if a dead leaf moves, he will start barking. That's exactly the state of the mind; it takes note only when something changes, and then it falls asleep again.
And our inner treasure has always been with us. It is very easy to ignore it; we learned to ignore it. That is the meaning of the word ignorance. Let your seeking be the beginning of not ignoring the inner, and the awakening comes by itself. And when love is awakened, life has a totally different taste. lt has the taste of nectar, of immortality, of deathlessness.
