你可曾自发放下快感，而不是被迫舍弃？通常，离世之际，世人贪恋红尘快乐，死神降临把人带走，所以那不是主动舍离，除非是自杀。那么，你有没有主动、轻松地感受一下舍离感？显然没有！你当下的理想、快乐与雄心，为生活涂抹着所谓意义，而生活是鲜活，是丰盛，是圆满，是舍离，而不是身披意义盛装的“自我感”——那只是智力的造作。

如果你尝试从小事上舍离，那已很好了。先放下琐碎快感，心怀轻松惬意，面带微笑，这已足够了；然后就会发现，原来你的心还能放下更多，能放下一切记忆。电脑正在取代人脑的记忆功能，而人脑却远不止于机械的联想与记忆。但人脑如果不放下全部认知，就不能实现突破。

要看清全部真相，你必须有一颗年青的心，不能仅仅在时间范畴内打转。年青的心可以放下一切，你能不能于立即看清真相，当下感受真谛？也许，此刻你还不能看清“放下”的全部非凡意义，不能看清“舍离”的精微玄通、深邃美妙、宏大丰盛，但即便你用心聆听，那也是在播种，这些话的内涵会在你的心地生根——不仅扎在表层意识，而且深深扎根到全部无意识。

Dying to Little Things

Have you ever tried dying to a pleasure , not forcibly? Ordinarily when you die you don’t want to; death comes and takes you away; it is not a voluntary act, except in suicide. But have you ever tried dying voluntarily, easily, felt that sense of the abandonment of pleasure? Obviously not! At present your ideals, your pleasures, your ambitions are the things which give so-called significance to them. Life is living, abundance, fullness, abandonment, not a sense of the “I” having significance. That is mere intellection.

If you experiment with dying to little things—that is good enough. Just to die to little pleasures—with ease, with comfort, with a smile—is enough, for then you will see that your mind is capable of dying to many things, dying to all memories. Machines are taking over the functions of memory—the computers—but the human mind is something more than a merely mechanical habit of association and memory. But it cannot be that something else if it does not die to everything it knows.

Now to see the truth of all this, a young mind is essential, a mind that is not merely functioning in the field of time. The young mind dies to everything. Can you see the truth of that immediately, feel the truth of it instantly? You may not see the whole extraordinary significance of it, the immense subtlety, the beauty of that dying, the richness of it, but even to listen to it sows the seed, and the significance of these words takes root—not only at the superficial, conscious level, but right through all the unconscious.
