你是否怨恨你正在做的事情？它可能是你的工作，或者你已經(jīng)同意了做這件事，并且你正在做，但是你同時又在怨恨和抗拒這件事。你會默默地怨恨與你親近的人嗎？你是否意識到了你因此而散發(fā)的能量是非常有害的，它會影響你自己以及你周圍的人？

請仔細觀察你的內(nèi)心，那里是否有一些輕微的怨恨和不情愿的跡象呢？如果有，請從心理以及情緒兩個層面去觀察它。關(guān)于某種情況，你思維所創(chuàng)造的觀點是什么？然后請觀察你的情緒，這是你身體對這些觀點所做出的反應(yīng)。請感受一下這些情緒。你覺得是開心還是煩惱？這是一個你會選擇讓它進入你內(nèi)在的能量嗎？你有選擇嗎？

也許你被利用了，也許你所參加的活動枯燥無味，也許與你親近的人不誠實或令人厭煩，但是所有的這些都是無關(guān)緊要的。你對于這種情況而產(chǎn)生的思想或情緒是否合理，不會起到任何作用。事實是，你正在抗拒本然，你將當下視為敵人。你在你的內(nèi)心創(chuàng)造和外界創(chuàng)造了不快樂和沖突。你的不快樂不僅污染了你的內(nèi)心世界和你周圍的人的內(nèi)心世界，而且還污染了與你不可分割的人類集體的精神。

我們這個地球的污染只不過是內(nèi)心污染的外在投射；上百萬個無意識的人沒有為他們的內(nèi)心世界擔負起責任。

FREEDOM FROM UNHAPPINESS

Do you resent doing what you are doing? It may be your job, or you may have agreed to do something and are doing it, but part of you resents and resists it. Are you carrying unspoken resentment toward a person close to you? Do you realize that the energy you thus emanate is so harmful in its effects that you are in fact contaminating yourself as well as those around you? Have a good look inside. Is there even the slightest trace of resentment, unwillingness? If there is, observe it on both the mental and the emotional levels. What thoughts is your mind creating around this situation? Then look at the emotion, which is the body's reaction to those thoughts. Feel the emotion. Does it feel pleasant or unpleasant? Is it an energy that you would actually choose to have inside you? Do you have a choice?

Maybe you are being taken advantage of, maybe the activity you are engaged in is tedious, maybe someone close to you is dishonest, irritating, or unconscious, but all this is irrelevant. Whether your thoughts and emotions about this situation are justified or not makes no difference. The fact is that you are resisting what is. You are making the present moment into an enemy. You are creating unhappiness, conflict between the inner and the outer. Your unhappiness is polluting not only your own inner being and those around you but also the collective human psyche of which you are an inseparable part. The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking responsibility for their inner space.
