Words From Silence 《来自寂静的声音》 61

The old woman and the dog

The other day I was taking my dog for a walk.

On the way, we encountered an old woman,

and as we approached her, I could see that

she was consumed with fear that the dog

would attack her.

This fear was absolutely unwarranted.

My dog is absurdly good natured

and has never attacked anything.

As the woman drew nearer,

my dog attacked her.

What else could the dog do?

She had to fulfill her role

in the old woman’s reality,

even though it was totally

out of character for her.

Let this be a lesson for all of us!

妇人与狗

有一天我带着我的狗去散步。

在路上，我们遇到一位老妇人，

当我们靠近她，我看到

她充满了恐惧，担心狗会攻击她。

这个恐惧完全是毫无根据的。

我的狗性情温顺得离谱，从未攻击过任何事物。

当这个妇人走得更近了，我的狗攻击了她。

除此之外，我的狗还能做什么呢？

那个老妇人的现实中，它必须完成它的角色，

尽管这完全超出它的个性。

让这个成为我们所有人的一个教训！

Awareness of unconscious beliefs

On the path of awakening,

it is necessary to become aware

of your unconscious beliefs.

It is not a difficult task.

Just become watchful.

If you are alert and watchful,

without any judgment,

your day to day life will reveal

those unconscious beliefs to you.

Be a watcher of your self.

Be a impartial observer

of who you are at the level of mind

which is programmed

with your unconscious beliefs.

It helps to have a sense of humor.

意识到无意识的信念

在觉醒之路上，对你的无意识信念变得有意识很有必要。

这不是艰难的任务。

只需要观照。

如果你保持警觉与观照，

没有任何评判。

你每天的生活将为你揭示这些无意识信念。

成为一个你自己的观照者。

成为一个公正的观察者，看看在头脑层面你是谁，

那些都是被你的无意识信念设定的。

这有助于有幽默感。
