If that is clear between you and the speaker 如果你和讲话者都明确了这一点，

obviously the first step is 显然第一步就是
to put aside all our personal prejudices 把我们所有的个人偏见、
our personal desires, our petty problems of the moment 我们的个人期望、我们目前的小问题都放在一边，
and so have the capacity 从而获得
to enquire freely and deeply. 自由、深入探询的能力。

psychologically we are talking about. 我们说的是心理层面上。
It comes when there is direct interest 如果有浓厚的兴趣，
and the challenge to which you must respond with all your highest capacity 并且有你必须用你最高的能力去面对的挑战时，它就会到来，
then you have the capacity to enquire freely. 然后你就会拥有自由探询的能力。
Otherwise you will merely be playing with words. 否则，你就仅仅在玩文字游戏。

because they convey a certain meaning 因为它们传递某种含义，
but if words drive us 但如果文字驱使我们，
if words force us into certain conclusions 如果文字迫使我们得出某些结论、
certain actions, then language, words 某些行动，那么语言、文字
control us, shape us, force us. 就控制了我们，塑造我们、压迫我们。
That again is very clear, isn't it? 这也非常清楚，不是吗？
Either language uses us, or we use language. 要么语言使用我们，要么我们使用语言。

the slavery to language 被语言奴役的情况，

the content and the significance of the depth of the word 文字深层的内容和含义，
then we are using language unemotionally 那么我们就能不情绪化地、实事求是地
unsentimentally, not identified with a particular word 使用语言，而不与特定的词语相认同，
then we can communicate with each other directly and very simply. 然后我们就能与对方直接、简单地沟通。

and that word shapes my thinking, my prejudices, all that nonsense 并且这些词语塑造了我的思维、我的偏见，所有那些无稽之谈，
then the word 'Indian' or 'Hindu' forces me to act in a certain way. 那么，“印度人”或“印度教”这些词就会迫使我按特定的方式去行动。
But whereas if I am free of that word 'Hindu' 但反之，如果我摆脱了“印度教”这个词，
with all its national, limited, superstitious significance 及其国家的、局限的、迷信的所有含义，
then I am free to understand the human being who is behind the word. 那么我就能自由地去理解那个词背后的人类。
Right? 对吗？
Are we meeting each other? 我们相互理解了吗？
At least I hope so. 至少我希望如此。
So here we are using language 所以这里我们使用语言，
and the language is not using us 而不是语言使用我们，
we are using the language unemotionally 我们不情绪化地使用语言，

correct according to the dictionary 按照字典上正确的含义，

very simply and directly when we use the word unemotionally 非常简单、直接地交流，只要我们不情绪化地使用
the word which hasn't got tremendous psychological content behind it. 背后没有复杂的心理内容的语言。

and therefore a word that doesn't bring about psychological reactions? 从而文字不再带来心理反应？

If we can, then we can enquire together 如果可以，那么我们才能一起探询，
because we are free of the word which drives us 因为我们摆脱了驱使我们的文字，
but we are using the word directly. 我们是在直接地使用文字。
I hope this is clear. 我希望明确这点。
Am I making the thing clear? 我表达清楚了吗？

then we can enquire into this whole problem 我们才能探询这整个

ethically mechanical. 和道德上都变得如此机械。
Right? 好吗？
We are just stating facts, not conclusions. 我们只表述事实，不谈结论。

Right? 对吗？
At least let's meet together intellectually 至少让我们从理智上理解这一点，
then if you understand that intellectually 如果你从理智上理解了这点，
then you can go still deeper into it 你就能继续深入下去，

which is very limited. 尽管非常有限。
Then: is there an action in daily life 那么：在我们的日常生活中，
in our daily relationship with each other 在我们日常与彼此的关系中，
intimate or not intimate, sexual or not sexual 无论亲密或不亲密，或者有没有性关系，
is there an action which will be holistic, whole 有没有一种整体的、完整的行动，

So we are challenging: is there such an action? 所以我们要质询：有没有这样的行动？

We don't know any other action 我们不知道任何其他的行动，
and we accept such action 并且我们接受那样的行动，
it is much more convenient, more comfortable 接受这样的行动更方便、

which is not dependent on environment 这种行动不依赖环境、
on circumstances, on the past, or on the future. 不依赖周围条件、过去或未来。
You understand? 你理解吗？
This is the most difficult thing to find out. 这是最难弄清楚的事情。
When you want to find out such an action 当你要发现这样的行动，
if there is such an action 是不是存在这样的行动，
thought immediately begins to operate. 思想马上开始运作。
Thought says 'Is there such a thing?' 'I must enquire' 思想说“有这样的事情吗？”“我必须打听一下。”
So thought is the past - isn't it? 所以思想就是“过去”，不是吗？
Thought is the outcome of memory 思想是记忆的产物，
thought is the result of your experience 思想是你的经验、
accumulated knowledge and from that arises memory 积累的知识的结果，从中产生记忆，
and then from the reaction of that memory is thinking. 然后从那记忆产生的反应就是思维。
That is simple, very simple if you go into it. 如果你深入进去，会发现这非常简单。
It is not complicated. 这并不复杂。
So when there is such a challenge as saying: 所以，当有一个质询，说：
is there action which is not dependent on the past 有没有不依赖
or the future, or on environment, circumstances 过去、未来或周围环境的行动，
then thought begins to operate. 然后思想就开始运作。
Right? That is what you are doing. 对吗？这正是你在做的。
Then thought says, 'I must find out such action' 接着思想说，“我必须找到这种行动。”
Since thought cannot find such action, you say that's impossible. 因为思想找不到这种行动，于是你说那不可能。
You are following all this? 你理解了这些吗？
We are all together in this, or am I talking to myself? 我们都理解了这点吗，还是我在自言自语？
I can do that in my room. 我可以在自己房间里这么做。
But I don't, anyhow, but so. 但不管怎样我没有那么做，而是在这里讲。
So action based on thought is limited 所以基于思想的行动是局限的，
because thought in itself is a broken up thing, a fragment 因为思想本身是支离破碎的，是一个碎片，
limited because it is based on knowledge 是局限的，因为它基于知识，
and knowledge however much you may accumulate 而知识无论你积累多少，
however much you may accumulate facts 无论你积累多少事实，
expanding knowledge over and over 一次次地扩展知识，
expanding constantly, it is still limited. 不断地扩展，它仍然是局限的。
That is obvious again. 这也很明显。
Perhaps not to the people 也许对有些人来说不那么明显，
who advocate the ascent of man through knowledge 他们提倡通过知识提升人类，
because that is their particular form of conclusion. 因为那是他们一个特定的结论。
But when one sees actually, in daily life 但当一个人在日常生活中真正看到
how knowledge is so extraordinarily limited 知识是多么局限，
you may have technological knowledge, and you must have 你可以有技术知识，而且你也必须有，
and to that knowledge more can be added 对于这种知识，能够增加它的内容、
it can be constantly expanded 能够不断扩展，
but is there the accumulation of psychological knowledge 但是否存在心理知识的积累，
from which action takes place? 让行动从中产生？

I isolate myself in order not to be hurt more. 我封闭自己以便不再受伤。
And so there is constant division between me and another 所以在我和他人之间存在着持续的分离，
to prevent being further hurt. 以避免被进一步伤害。
This is a common fact again. 这又是一个普遍的事实。
So I act according to that knowledge. 所以我根据那个知识去行动。

and again, you follow? - this whole process is based on 再来一次，你明白吗？——这整个过程基于
the accumulative process of experience, desire and pleasure. 经验、欲望和快乐的积累过程。
So is there an action which is totally independent of all this? 所以，有没有一种行动完全脱离了这些？
You understand my question? 你理解我提出的问题吗？
To enquire into that, the operation of thought 深入进去探询，思想的运作
must be understood because you can't stop thinking. 必须被弄清楚，因为你不能停止思考。
If you force, as many people do through meditation 如果你压制，像很多人在冥想中做的那样，
which is not meditation, try to control thought 那不是真正的冥想，尽力去控制思想、
shape thought, then they have divided themselves 塑造思想，他们就把自己分裂成了
into the thinker who is superior and thought, inferior 高高在上的思想者和低下的思想，
and so the superior tries to control the inferior - you know all this. 于是在上的努力去控制在下的——你知道这一切。
So is there a way 所以有没有一种
of an action which is totally divorced from all this? 完全脱离这些的行动方式？
We are challenging you 我们在挑战你，
I am challenging you and you are challenging me 我在挑战你，而你在挑战我，
together we are in a state of being challenged. 我们一起处于一种被挑战的状态。
Perhaps if you have challenged sufficiently deeply and earnestly 或许如果你挑战地足够深入、足够认真，
and with all your being 并且用你整个的存在去挑战，
then you will find an answer, which is, I will tell you 那么你将发现一个答案，我会告诉你，
but we are discussing this together 但我们是在一起讨论，

But whereas if you can discover this for yourself 然而如果你能亲自发现答案，
then you are free - you understand? 那么你就自由了—— 你明白吗？

Right? 对吗？
Hasn't it ever happened to you, suddenly you say 难道你没有遇到过这样的情况，你突然说
'I have understood it'? “我明白了”？
without words, without gestures, without circumstances 不借助语言、手势，不借助环境、
without the past, you suddenly feel by Jove, I've got it. 不借助过去，你突然感觉：天哪，我明白了。
And that is irrevocable, it is ultimate truth 而且那是不可逆转的，是最终的事实，
you can't say, well I have got it, next day I have lost it. 你不能说，好，我今天明白了，第二天我又糊涂了。
So we are going to find out together 所以我们将一起去弄清
the meaning of this word 'insight'. “洞察”这个词的含义。
To have an insight into something is not personal 对某事的洞察不是个人行为，
is not based on some ideological conclusions, memories, remembrances. 不是基于某些思想、结论、记忆。
One must be free of that to have an instant insight into something. 人必须摆脱那些才能拥有即时的洞察力。
One must be free of knowledge to have immediate perception. 人必须摆脱知识的束缚才能拥有直接的理解力。
This is not something extravagant, exotic, or rather emotional 这并不是什么夸夸其谈、奇谈怪论或情绪化的说法，
but actual. 而是真实的。
Where, if you have ever had this kind of immediate understanding 如果你曾经有过这种直接的领悟，
and therefore immediate action 因而有即刻的行动，
that immediate understanding demands immediate action irrelevant of time. 这种直接的领悟会带来与时间无关的即刻的行动。
Hasn't it happened? 难道没发生过吗？
It happens, obviously 显然发生过，
but then thought says, 'I have had that insight 但随后思想说，“我有了那个洞察力，
I have had that strange deep perception 我有了那个奇特而深刻的领悟，
nd therefore from that immediate action 并且从那种领悟中产生了即时的行动，
but I wish it would continue all the time'. 但我希望它能一直持续下去。”
You understand? 你明白吗？
I want that insight, that immediate perception 我希望那个洞察、那个直接的感知、
immediate understanding, to continue. 直接的理解，继续下去。
When you say it must continue 当你说它必须继续，
you have already begun the whole movement of thought. 你就已经开始了整个思想的运动。
I wonder if you see this. 我想知道你们有没有理解这点。
Insight, the quick perception of something 洞察，那种快速的对事情的理解，
is instantaneous and finished there. 是即时的，并且当时就结束了。
You can't carry it over. 你不能把它带走。
Whereas thought demands that it should be carried over 然而思想说应该把它带走，
therefore prevents the next insight. 因而阻止了下一个洞察。
I wonder if you get all this. 我不知道你有没有完全理解这点。
Have we understood something of this 我们是不是起码理解了一些？
because it is very important 因为这很重要，
because from this we can go into something 因为从这点出发，我们能探究
further where quick insight is demanded 更深的事物，在这个过程中需要快速的洞察，
so that you never have to struggle, never have to have conflict. 这样你就再也不必努力，再也不必纠结。
Because when you are acting upon insight it is an irrevocable truth. 因为当你在洞察的基础上行动，那就是一个不可逆转的事实。
It is not intuition. 那不是直觉。
Don't go away We are using the word carefully. 不要走偏了。我们在小心翼翼地使用词语。
People have intuitions, which is, they desire 人们有直觉，那是他们的渴望、
project and you know all that kind of ugly stuff. 投射，你知道所有那类丑陋的事情。
This is insight. 而这是洞察。
Quick perception and action is not personal 快速的领悟和行动不是个人的，
therefore it is whole, it is holistic. 因而是完整的，是整体的。
And our actions are never whole. 而我们的行动从来不完整。
We do something, regret 我们做事，后悔地说
'I wish I hadn't done that' “我希望我没做那件事”，
or we have done something that gives us pleasure 或者我们做了某件事使我们很快乐，
and we want more of that action. 然后我们就想要更多的那种行动。
So whereas insight is something which is quite simple 然而洞察是非常简单的事情，
but to have such an insight into things 而要对事情有这种洞察，
one must have a quick mind, not a dull mind 人要有敏捷的头脑，而不是迟钝的头脑，
not a mind that is frightened 不是一个害怕的头脑，
or a mind where thought says 'If I do that what will happen? 也不是这样的头脑：思想说“如果我做会怎样？
I might regret it, or there might be failure 我可能后悔，或者可能失败，
it might bring about hurt to others and to myself' 可能对其他人或我自己造成伤害。”
and so action is never total, complete, whole. 所以这种行动从来不完整、不完全。
Whereas action which is born out of insight 然而从洞察、从直接的领悟中
immediate perception, has no regrets because it is actual 产生的行动，没有遗憾，因为它是真实的，
it is the only action. 是唯一的行动。
Now bearing that in mind 现在脑子里记得这一点，
perhaps even intellectually 或许只是用智力记住的，
do you have a quick perception 那么你能不能即刻洞察
of what is the whole nature and structure of authority? 权威的整个本质和结构？

then you are free totally of all authority. 然后你就完全摆脱了权威。
Then you don't have to fight and struggle to say 然后你就不必抗争着去说
'I accept this authority, I don't accept that authority. “我接受这个权威，不接受那个权威。
