学无止境

Learning Has No Past

翻译

Wisdom is something that has to be discovered by each one, and it is not the result of knowledge.

智慧是每个人都要去发掘的东西,它不是知识的结晶。

Knowledge and wisdom do not go together.

知识和智慧并不一致。

Wisdom comes when there is the maturity of self-knowing.

智慧会在你自我认知达到成熟时出现。

Without knowing oneself, order is not possible, and therefore there is no virtue.

如果不自知,就不可能有秩序,因而也没有美德。

Now, learning about oneself, and accumulating knowledge about oneself, are two different things...

现在,了解自己和积累关于自己的知识,是两件不同的事。

A mind that is acquiring knowledge is never learning.

当大脑需要获取知识时那并不是学习。

What it is doing is this: it is gathering to itself information, experience as knowledge, and from the background of what it has gathered, it experiences, it learns; and therefore it is never really learning, but always knowing, acquiring.

它所做的是:收集信息和经验性的知识,在这样的背景下经历事物,同样也在学习;因此它不必真的学习,但总在不断的知晓、获取。

Learning is always in the active present; it has no past.

学习总是在当下;而不是过去。

The moment you say to yourself, "I have learned," it has already become knowledge, and from the background of that knowledge you can accumulate, translate, but you cannot further learn.

当你对自己说“我学过了”的时候,它已经变成了知识,而从这个知识背景中,你可以积累、转化,但你不能进一步学习。

It is only a mind that is not acquiring, but always learning - it is only such a mind that can understand this whole entity that we call the "me," the self.

只有一颗不求得到,但总是学习的心,才能理解我们称之为“我”的独立存在体,我本身。

I have to know myself, the structure, the nature, the significance of the total entity; but I can't do that burdened with my previous knowledge, with my previous experience, or with a mind that is conditioned, for then I am not learning, I am merely interpreting, translating, looking with an eye that is already clouded by the past.

我必须了解自己,了解个体存在的构造、本质和意义;但我不能背负着以往的知识、经验以及调整好的思维方式,那样依赖我就不是在学习,而是在解释、翻译,用已经被过去蒙上了一层雾的眼睛在观察。

Knowledge and wisdom do not go together.

Wisdom comes when there is maturity of self-knowing.

Now, learning about oneself, and accumulating knowledge about oneself, are two different things...

A mind that is acquiring knowledge is never learning.

What it is doing is this: it is gathering to itself information, experience as knowledge, and from the background of what it has gathered, it experiences, it learns; and therefore it is never really learning, but always knowing, acquiring.

Learning is always in the active present; it has no past.

The moment you say to yourself, "I have learned," it has already become knowledge, and from the background of that knowledge you can accumulate, translate, but you cannot further learn.

It is only a mind that is not acquiring, but always learning - it is only such a mind that can understand this whole entity that we call the "me," the self.
