觀心,就是將內(nèi)心所累積的東西徹底清空汇恤。也許你做不到庞钢,但沒關(guān)系,你只需靜靜聆聽因谎;一旦清空自心基括,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)一種異乎尋常的空靈,那就是自由财岔。所以风皿,你必須一開始就喚醒自由河爹,而不是期待、夢求最終的解脫桐款。你必須在工作中咸这、關(guān)系以及一言一行中去探索自由的意義,然后你會發(fā)現(xiàn)魔眨,觀心就是創(chuàng)造之境媳维。
創(chuàng)造這個詞,我們用得隨意而輕率遏暴。畫家在畫布上率意涂抹油彩侄刽,亢奮異常,這是他的成就感所在朋凉,是表達自我的方式州丹,他以此博取金錢與名聲,而他稱之為“創(chuàng)造”杂彭。每位作家也在“創(chuàng)作”墓毒,還有很多“創(chuàng)作”流派,但這些與創(chuàng)造毫不相關(guān)亲怠,只是生活在特定社會里心智所做的局限性反應所计。
我所說的創(chuàng)造,則完全不同赁炎。當心靈進入創(chuàng)造性境界醉箕,可能會表達出來,也可能無須表達徙垫,因為在這種境界讥裤,表達并沒有多大價值。創(chuàng)造性境界不需任何動機姻报,所以己英,心游于創(chuàng)造之境,每時每刻都在滅吴旋、生损肛、愛、在……所有的這一切荣瑟,就是觀心治拿。

【譯按】《莊子·田子方》:“老聃曰:‘吾游心于物之初“恃妫’” 此篇之題A mind in the state of creation劫谅,與莊相契。
A Mind in the State of Creation
Meditation is the emptying of the mind of all the things that the mind has put together. If you do that—perhaps you won’t, but it doesn’t matter, just listen to this—you will find that there is an extraordinary space in the mind, and that space is freedom. So you must demand freedom at the very beginning, and not just wait, hoping to have it at the end. You must seek out the significance of freedom in your work, in your relationships, in everything that you do. Then you will find that meditation is creation.
Creation is a word that we all use so glibly, so easily. A painter puts on canvas a few colours and gets tremendously excited about it. It is his fulfillment, the means through which he expresses himself; it is his market in which to gain money or reputation—and he calls that “creation”! Every writer “creates,” and there are schools of “creative” writing, but none of that has anything to do with creation. It is all the conditioned response of a mind that lives in a particular society.
The creation of which I am speaking is something entirely different. It is a mind that is in the state of creation. It may or it may not express that state. Expression has very little value. That state of creation has no cause, and therefore a mind in that state is every moment dying and living and loving and being. The whole of this is meditation.
