The core of your being is fear. What is deep inside yourself is just fear. Fear of losing this, fear of losing that, failing here or some other worry there. The object of fear could bechanging. Neanderthal man had his own reasons to be frightened of, the ancient man who was hunting had his own reasons to be afraid of, so also the medieval man, and the modern man has his fear of the stock market crash or his wife running away from him.
你存在的的核心是恐惧。你的内心深处就是恐惧。害怕失去这个，害怕失去那个，害怕失败或其他的一些焦虑。恐惧的对象可能一直在变化。尼安德特人有自己的理由是害怕，古代的人，谁是狩猎有自己的理由是怕的，所以也中世纪的人，现代人，他担心股市暴跌或离家出走的妻子。
So you have all kinds of fears, but basically fear has continued throughout human history because as long as you exist there would be fear, because you’re not supposed to exist. You are only an illusion and every moment there is a struggle to survive. Unless mental formations are going on all the time, you would just cease to be there. If the senses disjoint you will cease to be there. If the speed of sensory coordination is even slightly reduced you would be gone.
所以，你有各种恐惧，但基本上恐惧继续在整个人类历史上，因为只要你的存在将有恐惧，因为你不应该存在。你只是一个幻象，每一刻你都在为生存而挣扎的。如果心智不总是一直在活动，你就不会在那。只要感观不连接，你就不会在那。如果感官协调的速度甚至略有减少，你也就会消失。
If the brain stops creating these mental formations you would be gone, and nature is trying to make that happen. God is trying to make that happen. But you are resisting it because you are afraid to be gone. You are scared. You think it is terrible to be gone. But what you do not realize is when you are gone it is the greatest joy you could ever imagine.
如果大脑停止创造这些心智活动，你就不复存在了，并且本性就是要让这发生，神是试图要做到这一点。但你抵制，因为你是害怕了。你害怕。你认为消失是非常可怕的。但你不明白的是，当你走了，你才能真正地得到你所想象的最大的快乐。
Those who have left, you could ask them. I have around me so many people who don’t exist, who are gone. They live in joy 24 hours of the day. Nothing ever effects them. Because as long as you exist you will suffer because you do not suffer. You is equal to suffering. If you are there that is suffering. To exist is to suffer. Because you have nobusiness to exist. It’s a limitation. It’s a narrowing down. It’s not the truth.
那些自我已经离开的人，你可以问问他们。在我身边，我有这么多自我已经不存在的人，自我已经消失的人。他们一天24小时生活在欢乐中。没有什么事情可以影响他们。因为只要你存在，你会受到受苦，因为你不并不受苦。你就是痛苦。如果有你在，就是痛苦。存在本身就是受苦。因为你已经没有存在的必要。这是一个限制。这是一个缩小。这不是真相。
When you are gone what is there is causeless love. Simply love for no reason. The love which you know has a reason. This love has no reason, it is just there. You see a dog, you love it. You see an ant, you love it. You see a human being, you love him. It is just there for no reason. And what about this joy? Your joys have got limits . This joy has no limit.
当你走了剩下的就是毫无缘由的爱。只是爱，这爱没有理由。你知道的爱是有原因的。而这种爱没有理由，它只是在那里。你看到一只狗，你喜欢它。你看到一只蚂蚁，你喜欢它。你看到一个人，你爱他。只不过是有没有理由。这是一种什么喜悦？你的喜悦是有限制的。这种喜悦没有限制。
All this happens because you are not there. If you are there the love which you know has a reason which is not love. The joy which you know has a limit and a joy which has limits is no joy at all. This is your present state of existence.
这一切的发生，都是因为你不存在。如果你存在，你所知道的爱就是有理由的爱，这个并不是爱。你知道的喜悦，是有限制的一种快乐，而这根本就不是喜悦。这是你目前的存在的状态。
But all said and done, it’s quite frightening to be gone. You have fear. You have to jump into the water not knowing how to swim. You will start swimming. But if you keep planning and planning and planning, you can plan until doomsday. You’re never going to swim. You have to jump into it not knowing how to swim. You have to take a plunge. You take a plunge and it’s all over.
但是，毕竟要让你消失，这是相当可怕的了。你有恐惧。你要跳进水，却不知道如何游泳。你会开始游泳。但是，如果你继续规划和规划和计划，你可以计划，直到世界末日。你永远不会游泳。你必须跳进它，即便不知道如何游泳。你只要跳下去。跳下去就结束了。
