不知你可曾注意過(guò)：當(dāng)你靜下心來(lái)宏怔，哪怕只有一秒鐘奏路，也會(huì)產(chǎn)生覺(jué)悟；當(dāng)你不再把念頭付諸文字時(shí)臊诊，則覺(jué)悟迸發(fā)鸽粉，如電光火石。請(qǐng)自行嘗試一下抓艳，你就會(huì)明白：當(dāng)你的心回歸寧?kù)o触机，內(nèi)心不再妄念紛飛、喧囂不息玷或，你的覺(jué)悟力就如電閃一般儡首，產(chǎn)生異常迅捷的頓悟。所以偏友，想領(lǐng)悟任何事物——現(xiàn)代繪畫(huà)蔬胯、孩子、妻子位他、鄰居氛濒，想領(lǐng)悟萬(wàn)物之中的真理，唯有心靈回歸寧?kù)o鹅髓。但舞竿，這樣的寧?kù)o并非培養(yǎng)出來(lái)的，因?yàn)槟憧桃馀囵B(yǎng)出來(lái)的迈勋，并非寧?kù)o之心炬灭，而是僵死之心。
對(duì)于事物的興趣越大靡菇，則你理解它的意愿越強(qiáng)重归，你的心就越簡(jiǎn)單，越清澈厦凤，越自由鼻吮。此時(shí)，文字思維已經(jīng)止息较鼓。歸根結(jié)底椎木，思維就是文字，而文字就是障礙博烂。你的記憶沉淀香椎，是一道文字屏障，阻礙著你的心對(duì)外界的挑戰(zhàn)做出回應(yīng)禽篱。對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)做出回應(yīng)的畜伐，恰恰是那道文字障，而我們卻稱之為理智躺率。我們的心總是喋喋不休玛界，執(zhí)著于文字相万矾，不能覺(jué)悟真理——其實(shí)真理就在日常關(guān)系中，而不是抽象玄虛的慎框，抽象真理是不存在的良狈。但真理又的確微妙玄通。
真理笨枯，如黑夜飛賊薪丁，總是悄然而至。當(dāng)你做好準(zhǔn)備迎接真理時(shí)猎醇，它反而蹤跡杳然窥突。

The Flash of Understanding
I do not know if you have noticed that there is understanding when the mind is very quiet, even for a second; there is the flash of understanding when the verbalization of thought is not. Just experiment with it and you will see for yourself that you have the flash of understanding, that extraordinary rapidity of insight, when the mind is very still, when thought is absent, when the mind is not burdened with its own noise. So, the understanding of anything—of a modern picture, of a child, of your wife, of your neighbor, or the understanding of truth, which is in all things—can only come when the mind is very still. But such stillness cannot be cultivated because if you cultivate a still mind, it is not a still mind, it is a dead mind.
The more you are interested in something, the more your intention to understand, the more simple, clear, free the mind is. Then verbalization ceases. After all, thought is word, and it is the word that interferes. It is the screen of words, which is memory, that intervenes between the challenge and the response. It is the word that is responding to the challenge, which we call intellection. So, the mind that is chattering, that is verbalizing, cannot understand truth—truth in relationship, not an abstract truth. There is no abstract truth. But truth is very subtle….
Like a thief in the night, it comes darkly, not when you are prepared to receive it.
