Look what is happening in the world - we are being conditioned by society, by the culture in which we live, and that culture is the product of man - there is nothing holy, or divine, or eternal about culture. Culture, society, books, radios, all that we listen to and see, the many influences of which we are either conscious or unconscious, all these encourage us to live within a very small fragment of the vast field of the mind.
看看这世上在发生什么：我们被社会、被我们所处的文化所制约，而那文化就是人类的产物，文化中没有任何神圣、圣洁、永恒的东西。文化、社会、书籍、收音机，我们听到看到的种种，我们意识到或没有意识到的许多影响，这一切都促使我们局限于内心浩瀚的领域中非常狭小的片断里。
You go through school, college, and learn a technique to earn a living; for the next forty or fifty years you spend your life, your time, your energy, your thought, in that specialized little field. And there is the vast field of the mind. Unless we bring about a radical change in this fragmentation there can be no revolution at all; there will be modifications, economic, social and so-called cultural but man will go on suffering, will go on in conflict, in war, in misery, in sorrow and in despair.
你读书，上大学，学一项技术谋生，在接下来的四十或五十年里，你就把你的生活、你的时间、你的能量、你的思想耗费在那个狭小的专业领域。然而心有着浩瀚的领域。除非我们彻底改变这种分裂，否则根本没有革命可言。虽然会有一些经济上、社会上以及所谓的文化上的修修补补，但人类将继续受苦，继续身陷冲突、战争、不幸、悲伤和绝望。
I do not know if you read some time ago how one of the Marshals of the Russian army reporting to the Polit Bureau, said that in the army they were training soldiers under hypnosis - you know what that means? You are put under hypnosis and taught how to kill, how to obey completely, function with complete independence, but within a pattern, under the authority of a superior. Now culture and society are doing exactly the same thing to each one of us. Culture and society have hypnotized you. Do please listen to this very carefully, it is not only being done in the army in Russia, but it is being done all over the world. When you read the Gita endlessly, or the Koran, or repeat some mantram, some endlessly repeated words, you are doing exactly the same thing.
不知道前阵子你们有没有读到俄国军队的一个官员向政治局做的报告，报告说他们在用催眠法训练军队的士兵——知道那是什么意思吗？你被催眠，你被训练怎样杀人，怎样无条件地服从命令，怎样完全独立行动却不过界、不犯上。如今的社会和文化就在对我们每个人做一模一样的事。社会和文化催眠了你。请务必仔细听，不只是俄国的军队里在这么做，整个世界都在这么做。如果你没完没了地读诵《薄伽梵歌》、《古兰经》，或重复某些咒语、某些念叨个没完没了的话，你就在做与那些俄国士兵做的一模一样的事。
When you say, "I am a Hindu", "I am a Buddhist", "I am a Muslim", "I am a Catholic", the same pattern is being repeated, you have been mesmerized, hypnotized; and technology is doing exactly the same thing. You can be a clever lawyer, a first-class engineer, or an artist, or a great scientist, but always within a fragment of the whole. I do not know if you see this, not because I describe it, but actually see what is taking place. The Communists are doing it, the Capitalists are doing it, everybody, parents, schools, education, they are all shaping the mind to function within a certain pattern, a certain fragment. And we are always concerned with bringing about a change within the pattern, within the fragment.
如果你说，"我是印度教徒"，"我是佛教徒"，"我是穆斯林"，"我是天主教徒"，你就在重复同一个模式，你已经被催眠，而技术也在做一模一样的事。你可以是个聪明的律师、第一流的工程师，或者是个艺术家、了不起的科学家，然而你总是局限于整体的某个片断。不知道你们是否看到了这一点，不是因为我的描述，而是确实看到了正在发生的事实。大家都在这么做，父母、学校、教育，他们都在塑造头脑，使它在某个模式、某个片断里运作。我们总是关心在那个模式、那个片断的范围内实现改变。
So, how is one to realize this, not theoretically, not as a mere idea, but see the actuality of it - you understand, see the actual? The actual being what is everyday taking place and is spoken of in newspapers, by politicians, through culture and tradition, in the family, making you call yourselves Indians, or whatever you think you are. Then when you see, you must question yourself (I am sure you would if you saw it), and that is why it is very important to understand how you see.
所以，我们要怎样了解这种状况，不是理论上了解，也不是仅仅把它当做一个观念，而是看到其中的现实——明白吗，看到现实？现实就是每天都在发生的事，现实就是体现在报纸上、体现在政客身上、体现在文化和社会中、体现在家庭中的事，现实促使你把自己叫做印度人，或不管你认为的什么。那么，如果你看到了，你就一定会质疑自己（你要是看到了肯定会质疑），这就是为什么了解你怎样看非常重要。
If you really saw it, then the question would be, "How can the total mind act?" (I do not mean the fragment, not the conditioned mind, nor the educated, sophisticated mind, the mind that is afraid, the mind that says, "there is God" or "there is no God", "there is my family, your family, my nation, your nation".) Then you will ask, "How can this totality of the mind be, how can it function completely, even while learning a technique?" Though it has to learn a technique and to live in relationship with others, in our present disordered society - bearing that in mind, one must ask this question, which is a fundamental one: "How can this totality of the mind be made completely sensitive, so that even the fragment becomes sensitive?" I don't know if you have understood my question, we shall come to it in another way.
如果你确实看到了，那么接下来的问题就会是，"整个心可以怎样运作？"（我指的不是心的片断，不是受制约的心，也不是受了教育、思想复杂的心，那个怕这怕那、那个念叨着"有上帝"或"没上帝"、念叨着"我的家庭、你的家庭、我的国家、你的国家"的心）那么你会问，"心的全部会是怎样的？它可以怎样完整运作，甚至在学习技术的时候？"虽然这颗心不得不学习技术，与他人共处，活在我们目前这个混乱的社会上——记住，我们必须问这个问题，这问题非常重大："怎样才能让整个心完全敏感，甚至每个片断都变得敏感？"不知道你们是否听懂了我的问题，我们会再换种方式探讨。
