用你的注意力來改進你自己

*** 用你的注意力來改進你自己 ***

假如經由反省，你發現你仍然有一些久遠、幽微的荒誕習慣，它仍然糾纏著你。此時你不必發誓來除去它，你只需要靜觀它，觀看它將如何帶你走向毁滅之路，立即地，你將會放棄這壞習慣。你不必因擔心它，而對自己發誓將如何如何改進，因為現在的你已是 "samarth"，它表示的是你(的注意力)現在已完全具有力量了(empowered)。

所有你認為不對的(習慣)，(只需要)將你的注意力放在那上面，慢慢地，你的注意力的力量會逐漸地除去這種種的困擾-------對這些徘徊不去的問題、條件制約、連結及自我(ego)等等的困擾，你絕對可以拋棄它們。只要運用你的注意力，它們是會離你遠去的。

然後你將會體悟到你的注意力一天天地被淨化，且你的注意力變得更有力量、更有慈悲心。以前在你的注意力之下引起的各種反應(reaction)也會消失，而且你開始可以如旁觀者來靜觀外界的一切，此時經由靜觀而產生的力量，即你的注意力的力量會開始作用，開始成就一些事情。它不只作用在你身上，而且會作用在你週遭的一切。

For example, if we find we still have… through our introspection we locate that we have these old, subtle, nonsensical things still hanging around us, we don’t have to vow for it. You have to just witness it, and the destructive path it is taking you to. Immediately you will give up. You don’t have to worry as to put a vow upon yourself, because now you are “samarth”, meaning now you are absolutely empowered.

Whatever you think is wrong, your attention itself on it will slowly, gradually remove the doubts about having those problems, those connections, conditions and ego that are lingering still. Definitely you will drop them. With your attention, it will run away.

Then you will realize that every day your attention is getting purified, getting powerful, getting compassionate. Normally, whatever reaction you have in your attention just disappears, and you start witnessing the whole thing, and your power of attention, through that witnessing force, acts and it works. It works not only on you, but on everything that surrounds you.
