The subject of this, 这集节目,

'What is love?' “爱是什么?”
K: ...the mind becomes naturally expectant, awaiting, 克:...心智自然变得充满期待、等待着,
and therefore not clear, 因此不清晰、

And when one asks questions, 当一个人提问时,

I feel one should ask questions about everything, 我觉得一个人应该对一切都存疑,
but it matters very much 这很重要,

what is the background, 背景是什么,
what is the state of the mind 头脑是在怎样的状态下

Is it awaiting an answer 它是在等待一个答案
or expecting to be told? 还是期待被告知?
If it is waiting for an answer, 如果它在等待一个答案,
who is going to answer it? 那么谁来回答?
And a mind that is waiting to find the answer 而一个等待找到答案的头脑
is not an active mind, it's just waiting, expecting. 不是一个活跃的头脑,它只是在等待、期望。
I think then 然后我认为
when we do put a question it becomes very important. 当我们确实提出一个问题时,那问题就变得很重要。
Then such questions, those such questions have 然后这类问题,那些此类问题就有
a catalystic effect. 一种催化效果。
Then such questions do produce an answer in themselves. 然后这类问题确实本身就能产生答案。
So 所以
let's proceed to find out the questions we're asking. 让我们继续来弄清楚我们提出的问题。
We know what aggression is, 我们知道什么是侵略,
we know what violence is, 我们知道什么是暴力、
jealousy, and all the rest of it 嫉妒,等等诸如此类
- which is again a form of energy, - 这些也是能量的一种形式,
an expression of energy. 能量的一种表达。
And we must also find out, mustn't we, what love is. 而我们也必须去弄清什么是爱,不是吗?
Now, how does one find out? 那么,一个人要如何去发现?
Not if the energies are similar, but what love is. 不是能量是不是相似的,而是爱是什么。
Is love pleasure, desire? 爱是快乐、欲望吗?
Are you waiting for me to answer it? 你在等我来回答吗?
So, how does one find out? 所以,人要如何去发现?
Or is love 或者爱是不是
an energy in a different field altogether, 在一个根本不同的领域里的一种能量,
of a different quality, a different dimension? 有着不同的品质、不同的维度?
And how does one find out what love is? 那么人如何才能发现什么是爱?

We are trying to find that out, sir. 先生,我们在试着弄清楚。
Please, don't let us speculate what love is. 请让我们不要推测爱是什么。
That becomes childish. 那样会变得幼稚。
How does the mind come upon that thing 心灵如何能遭遇那东西
without conscious effort? 而不需要有意识的努力?
If I make a conscious effort to find it out 如果我有意识地努力去找到它,
then my conscious effort must have a recognition of what it is. 那么我有意识的努力必然对它是什么有了某种认知。
You understand? 你明白吗?
I must have already known it, 我必然已经知道它了,
I must have already smelled it, tasted it, 我必须已经闻到了它,尝过它,

So, how does one find it out, come upon it? 所以,人要如何发现它,遇见它?
You understand? 你明白吗?
Am I making myself clear, the question? 我把问题说清楚了吗?
It's like 它就像
inquiring into if there is such thing as 'God'. 探询是否有个“上帝”一样。
I put it in quotes - that word 'God' is so heavily loaded 我将它放入引号 - “上帝”这个词的负载如此之重
that it has almost lost all its meaning. 乃至几乎失去了它所有的意义。
If one wants to discover it, if there is or if there is not, 如果人想发现它,有或者没有,
how does one proceed? 他该如何继续?
Obviously, to find out, 显然,要去发现,
all types of belief must come to an end. 所有形式的信仰都必须终结。
And therefore which means 因此,这意味着
all forms of fear must come to an end. 所有形式的恐惧都必须终结。
Surely. No? 确实如此。不是吗?

and I hope because I am in despair 我希望,是因为我绝望,
and I invent a belief, a security, 于是我发明了一种信仰、一种安全感、
a state of mind which says 心智的一种状态,说着

and I believe in that. 而我相信了那些。
And that belief obviously 很明显,那个信仰
not only conditions all examination, 不仅制约了所有的审视、
all perception, 所有的觉察,
but it prevents the total 而且它妨碍了完全的
inaction. 不行动。
You understand? 你明白吗?
I'd better go into it. 我最好深入其中。
I must not only be free 我必须不仅仅摆脱
of every form of belief, and therefore fear 各种形式的信仰,进而摆脱恐惧,
and also my mind must be so sharp, so sensitive... 而且我的头脑必须如此机警、如此敏感...

And then only there is a possibility 然后才有可能
of discovering something. 去发现一些东西。
So it seems to me, in the same way, 所以,对我来说,用相同的方式,
to find out or come upon 来发现或遇见
this thing called love, which is so heavily loaded, 这个被称为爱的东西,它的负载是如此之重,
one must inquire 人必须去探询
into this question of pleasure and desire. 这个快乐和欲望的问题。
You know, we're not trying to suppress desire. 你知道,我们不是试图压抑欲望。

And those so-called religious people 而那些所谓的宗教人士
have attempted to control desire, 已经试图去控制欲望了,
because some authority, religious authority has said, 因为某些权威,宗教权威说过,
'Be free of desire' “摆脱欲望”,

By the very looking at it 一看到它,

by thinking about it, 通过想着它,
it has strengthened the nature of desire 就已经强化了欲望的本质

And to know oneself is the beginning of wisdom. 而去认识自己便是智慧的开端。
