Now what brings about contradiction in each one of us? Surely it is the desire to become something, is it not? We all want to become something: to become successful in the world and, inwardly, to achieve a result. So long as we think in terms of time, in terms of achievement, in terms of position, there must be contradiction. After all, the mind is the product of time.

是什么造成了我們每個人心中的矛盾？顯然，是想要成為什么的欲望，不是嗎？我們?nèi)枷氤蔀槭裁矗涸谑郎瞎Τ擅?，在?nèi)在世界達(dá)成目標(biāo)。只要我們依據(jù)時間、成就、地位來思考問題，就必然會有矛盾。說到底，頭腦就是時間的產(chǎn)物。

Thought is based on yesterday, on the past; and so long as thought is functioning within the field of time, thinking in terms of the future, of becoming, gaining, achieving, there must be contradiction, because then we are incapable of facing exactly what is. Only in realizing, in understanding, in being choicelessly aware of what is, is there a possibility of freedom from that disintegrating factor which is contradiction. 

思想建立在昨日之上，建立在過去之上。只要思想在時間的范疇內(nèi)運作，展望未來，心系成就、獲得、達(dá)成，就必然會有矛盾；因為在那種情況下，我們是無法真正面對實情的。只有認(rèn)識實情、了解實情，不作選擇地覺察實情，才有可能跳脫出矛盾，從這一導(dǎo)致瓦解的肇因中解脫出來。

Therefore it is essential, is it not?, to understand the whole process of our thinking, for it is there that we find contradiction. Thought itself has become a contradiction because we have not understood the total process of ourselves; and that understanding is possible only when we are fully aware of our thought, not as an observer operating upon his thought, but integrally and without choice - which is extremely arduous. Then only is there the dissolution of that contradiction which is so detrimental, so painful.

因此，了解思維的整個過程是必要的，不是嗎？因為我們正是在那個過程中發(fā)現(xiàn)了矛盾。思想本身成了矛盾，就因為我們不了解自我的整個過程。只有當(dāng)我們?nèi)硇牡赜X察我們的思想，不是用觀察者觀察他的思想的那種方式，而是不作選擇地全然覺察——那是相當(dāng)有難度的。只有那樣，才能消解這極為有害、造成極大痛苦的矛盾。

So long as we are trying to achieve a psychological result, so long as we want inward security, there must be a contradiction in our life. I do not think that most of us are aware of this contradiction; or, if we are, we do not see its real significance. On the contrary, contradiction gives us an impetus to live; the very element of friction makes us feel that we are alive. The effort, the struggle of contradiction, gives us a sense of vitality. That is why we love wars, that is why we enjoy the battle of frustrations. 

只要我們竭力想在心理上達(dá)到某個結(jié)果，只要我們尋求內(nèi)在的安全，我們的生活就必然會有矛盾。我認(rèn)為大多數(shù)人都沒有意識到這個矛盾，或者，我們意識到了，但并沒有明白其中真正的意義。相反，矛盾帶給我們一種生活的動力；來一點兒摩擦?xí)Ыo我們活著的感覺。努力，矛盾中的掙扎，讓我們感覺自己尚有生氣和活力。那就是為什么我們熱愛戰(zhàn)爭，享受有挫折的戰(zhàn)斗。

So long as there is the desire to achieve a result, which is the desire to be psychologically secure, there must be a contradiction; and where there is contradiction, there cannot be a quiet mind. Quietness of mind is essential to understand the whole significance of life. Thought can never be tranquil; thought, which is the product of time, can never find that which is timeless, can never know that which is beyond time. The very nature of our thinking is a contradiction, because we are always thinking in terms of the past or of the future; therefore we are never fully cognizant, fully aware of the present. 

只要存在達(dá)成結(jié)果的欲望，即獲得心理安全的欲望，就必然會有矛盾；而有矛盾，就不可能有安靜的心。心的安靜，是了解生活全部意義的必要條件。思想永遠(yuǎn)不可能安靜下來；思想是時間的產(chǎn)物，它永遠(yuǎn)無法發(fā)現(xiàn)那無始無終之物，永遠(yuǎn)無法明白那超越時間的東西。思想的本質(zhì)就是矛盾，因為我們的思想總是落入過去或未來，因此永遠(yuǎn)無法全然地認(rèn)識并覺察現(xiàn)在。
