A person goes to sleep in the hall and dreams he has gone on a world-tour, traveling over various continents. After many years of strenuous travel, he returns to this country, enters the ashram, and walks into the hall.
某人睡在大堂,並做夢在環遊世界,穿越各大洲。經過多年艱辛的遊歷,他返回到這國家,進入這靜修處,走進這大堂。
Just as that moment, he wakes up and finds that he has not moved at all but has been sleeping. He has not returned after great efforts to this hall, but was here all the time.
在這一刻,他醒來,發現除了一直睡著,並沒有離開這裡。他不需很費力就回到這大堂,事實上他由始至終一直在這裡。
If it is asked, “Why, being free, we imagine ourselves bound?” I answer, “Why, being in the hall, did you imagine you were on a world tour, crossing desert and sea?”
如果被問到:「為什麼我們明明是自由,却想像自已受束縛呢?」 我會回答:「為什麼你明明在這大堂,却想像自己環遊世界,穿越沙漠和海洋呢?」
It is all mind.
這全是心智的作用。
