Today, I would like to say this-if you are going to be compared to a bird, then don’t forget to fly. If you are compared to a flower, then don’t forget to blossom. If you are compared to a river, then don’t forget to merge into the sea.
今天，我想要說的是：如果你將自己比喻成一隻鳥，那就不要忘記飛翔。如果你將自己比喻成一朵花，那就不要忘記綻放。如果你將自己比喻成一條河，那就不要忘記匯入大海。In this life, it is so easy to get lost. Once someone’s eyes are taken away from the goal, Once their focus is taken away from the goal, there is no limit to how much a person can get lost. If a person gets lost once, there is no limit to how much he can get lost.
在一生中，是那麼容易就迷失。一旦人的眼睛被帶離目標，一旦專注力被帶離目標，一個人迷失的程度，是沒有極限的。如果一個人迷失一次，他會迷失多少次是沒有極限的。
Why is there a need for a guide? People today are proud about standing on their own might. In English, it is called being ”self-made” . Self made. They did everything themselves. They achieved everything by themselves.
為什麼需要一個嚮導？今天人們是如此地自豪，他們能靠自己的能力站起來。英文是叫作「自力更生」。自力更生的人，他們什麼都靠自己。他們靠自己的力量，來成就每件事。
This is not your destination. Your destination is within you. And where are you lost? On the outside. If you try to look for your destination outside, then you will be able to reach your outside destination, but how will you reach your real destination within? Without the written word, the essence of all the scriptures is within you. Experience this. Experience! Not ideas. Not explanations. Not comments. You should experience this.
這不是你的目的地。你的目的地就在你內在。但你在哪裡迷失呢？在外在。如果你企圖在外在尋找你的目的地，那你只會到達你外在的目的地。但如何到達你內在真正的目的地呢？不需要這些記載的文字，所有經典的精髓都在你內在。體驗這個，體驗！不需要見解。不需要解釋。不需要評論。你只需要體驗這個。
But if we want to experience them in reality, whatever it is, it goes beyond thinking. It is a separate matter. It is about something inside. It is about the heart, and if you want a guide, the guide should be the one who can take you within.但是如果我們想要真實地體驗這些，不管是什麼，總是超越思維。這是不同的事。這是與內在的東西有關。這是與心有關。如果你要一位嚮導，那麼這位嚮導就是能將你帶入內在的人。
Aspiration is not an ordinary thing. Aspiration is a very, very powerful thing. This thirst is no ordinary thirst. It is very strong, an extremely strong thirst. This is the thirst of the heart. Try and understand this, and through that, you will also understand what I am talking about. Whatever I am saying, I am saying it from my heart. I have not written a speech.
熱切渴望不是一件普通的事。熱切渴望是一件非常，非常強而有力的事。這份渴不是普通的渴，它是非常強烈、極其強烈的渴。這是心的渴。盡力去瞭解這一點，透過這個，你也會瞭解我所說的話。不管我現在說的是什麼，都是由衷的。我並沒有準備講稿。
I have not memorized a speech. Whatever I have said today, it has come from my heart, for your heart. Besides everything else, you have been given this human body. Make this life a success, and let joy com into your life so that this barren place may not remain barren any longer.
我並沒有背誦講稿。不管我今天說什麼，都是從我的心傳給你的心的。除了其他一切之外，你被賦予了人的身體。使這生命成功，讓這份喜悅進入你的生命，如此這塊不毛之地不再荒蕪。~Prem Rawat 普仁羅華
