181 为什么知足是那么重要的品德？

Nov 7, 2011: Why is contentment such an important quality? Bhagawan explains bringing out its various facets.

Remember that contentment will not make one an idler. It is an attribute of true pure (sathwic) character. It will make the mind turn always towards the Lord. It will save you from the tribulations that one goes through to satisfy unimportant wants and to cater to selfish needs. It will direct human talents towards efforts that elevate. The contented person will also be truthful and will therefore be in constant communion with the Atma. That is to say, such a person can be immersed in meditation for long periods without needing rest or feeling fatigued. Contentment is the royal road to meditation.

- Geetha Vahini, Ch 1

记住，知足不会使人变得无所事事，知足是萨埵（清净、纯净）品性所具有的特质，它会让心念始终向着上帝，它能让你免于为了满足一些无足轻重的欲求、一些个人自私的需要而吃苦受罪，它会使人将才智用在那些提升心灵的努力上。知足的人也真诚，因此会时时与阿特曼交流，也就是说，这种人能长时间沉浸在禅定中，而不需要休息，不觉得累。知足是通往禅定的王道。

Do not fritter the days in attaining affluence in material possessions, which are often impediments in the journey of life.

不要虚掷光阴追求物质上的富裕，那些往往是人生道路上的阻碍。
