寧靜的心跡(116) 安頓在完滿之中

我們都有自己所嚮往的生活，但現實常常與理想相差甚遠。如果我們能夠接受現實，不再糾結於失敗與遺憾，而將注意力投入到當下的生活，讓自己活得更好、更充實，那就意味著我們擁有一顆安頓的心。安頓的心態不僅讓我們在遇到困難時更加堅韌，也能更加從容地應對挫折。

擁有安頓的心態並不容易。我們需要與世界建立一種穩固的關係，以獲得完滿的感受，才能真正安頓下來。穩固的關係是以意識為基礎的，而且最重要的是對人的意識。與世界的關係也必須經由與別人的交往而建立，因此我們首先需要與別人建立良好的聯繫。

每個人都是獨立的個體，人與人之間總是存在一定的距離，外在的交往也短暫和膚淺。因此我們需要一種永久和深刻的連結，這就需要有內心的交流。

與外在的交往相比，內心的交流更能帶給我們進步和成長。那些外在的交往，雖然能夠建立關係，但無法深化。而內在的交流，則能讓人迅速到達相愛的境地，即使只是短暫的相處，也能帶來持久的喜悅，讓我們對完滿有一種瞥見。

透過內心的交流，我們能夠培養完整的意識。我們的自我意識都不足，男人對女人意識不足、女人對男人意識不足，因此我們的意識都需要與別人互動來補充。我們更需要與別人融合，使意識變得完整。

在融合的狀態中，意識不再分散，也不再欠缺，讓我們獲得一種完滿的感受。這種感受能夠伴隨我們終生，因此一刻的完滿就是永恆。

唯有心心相印，才能讓我們感到完滿，否則會在內心形成一種欲望，讓我們身在此地而心在遠方。即使有短暫的快樂，也會被痛苦所抵消。這時，我們各自的意識只停留在自己身上。

為了讓自己更強壯，我們渴望成為一個整體，讓心靈安頓在完滿之中，回歸永恒之家。要實現這個心願，我們需要一個身心俱在的伴侶。如果我們不能滿足自己的需求，就需要學會長期獨處，實現內心多個自我之間的溝通，並與外界保持聯繫，這樣我們也會感到完滿和安頓。

The path to Tranquility (116) Settling in perfection

We all have our own desired way of life, but reality often falls short of our ideals. If we can accept the reality, no longer dwell on failures and regrets, and focus on our current life so that we can live a better and more fulfilling life, it means that we have a settled heart. A settled mentality not only makes us more resilient when encountering difficulties, but also enables us to handle setbacks with more ease.

Having a settled mentality is not easy. We need to establish a stable relationship with the world to feel fulfilled and truly settle down. A stable relationships are based on consciousness, and most importantly the consciousness about people. Relationships with the world must also be established through interactions with others, so we first need to establish good connections with others.

Everyone is an independent individual, there is always a certain distance between people, and outward interactions are short and superficial. Therefore we need a permanent and deep connection, which requires inner communication.

Compared to outward interactions, inner communication brings more progress and growth. Although external interactions can establish relationships, they cannot deepen them. And inner communication can quickly bring people to the state of love. Even a short time together can bring lasting joy and give us a glimpse of perfection.

Through inner communication, we can cultivate a complete consciousness. Our self-consciousness is insufficient, men are insufficiently aware of women, and women are insufficiently aware of men, so our consciousness needs to be supplemented by interaction with others. We more need fusion with others to make our consciousness complete.

In a state of fusion, our consciousness is no longer scattered or lacking, enabling us to feel perfection. This feeling can accompany us for a lifetime, so one moment of perfection is eternal.

Only through the synchronization of the hearts can we feel perfection, otherwise a desire will be formed in the heart, keeping our bodies here and hearts far away. Even if we experience short-term happiness, it will be offset by suffering. At this time, our self-consciousness stays only in ourselves.

In order to make ourselves stronger, we desire to become a whole, enabling our hears to settle in perfection, and return to the eternal home. To fulfill this wish, we need a partner who is both physically and mentally present.  If we fail to meet our own needs, we need to learn to be alone for a long period, achieve communication with multiple selves within us, and maintain contact with the outside world, so that we can also feel the perfection and settled.
