在無數形式的職業和工作中追逐,
為了找尋一個可以使你完全愉悅喜樂的工作,
與你在這世界中其它無望的追求是一樣的.
最終它們總是無法給你真正的滿足感.
唯一真正的喜悅是來自於 “明白你與上帝之間不可否認的關係” .
在你現階段的經驗中,
“把主要的注意力放在追求完美的職業” 只是注意力的分散,
以及在時空中更長久的拖延.
它無法解決你所感知到你正在面對的問題
〜
在你生活中的許多領域裡, 你已了解到:
追求外在世界並不能為你帶來內在的和平與喜悅;
現在你必須同樣的運用這項了解在 “賺取生計” 的領域中.
工作是一個 “靜心、練習不批評、以及學習不被外界影響”的機會.
工作是一個練習讓心智完整的時機,
完完全全的專注在手頭上的工作 , 以使你達到 “ 忘我 ” 的狀態.
工作是進入神聖一刻的時機.
你可以用它來練習控制自己的心智.
工作是一個想上帝、愛上帝、服務上帝、成為上帝的機會.
若沒有處理和修正 “與上帝分離” 的錯誤觀念,
幾乎是不可能讓頭腦安靜和成為一個靜默的觀察者,
因為頭腦會被隱藏的恐懼不安, 或公開的怨恨所感染.
“在禪中” 是指 ： 覺知和生活 “在上帝的旨意和愛力中”;
它是一次只做一件事.
忘掉時間的重要性 , 放下手錶和時鐘.
不要專注於時間 , 不要讓時間成為你作決策的要素,
讓 內在的感覺 引導你在時空中的旅程.

To chase after myriad forms of professions and works in order to find one that makes you perfectly happy and joyful is the same as any other futile pursuits you may have in this world. They will not give you the true sense of satisfaction at the end. Your only true joy comes from knowing your undeniable relationship with God. At your current stage of experiencing, to put your main focus on pursuing the perfect career is a diversion, and a further lingering in time. It does not solve the problem you perceived you are facing, which is the lack of joy in a world of many demands and limitations.
As you have realized in many areas in your life, that pursuing the externals would not give you inner peace and joy; now you must apply this understanding to the area of “making a living” as well.
Work is an opportunity to meditate, to practise non-judgments, and to learn to be unaffected by externals. Work is a time to practise wholeness in mind, to focus on the task at hand so totally and wholly that you lose the sense of self. Work is a time to enter the Holy Instance. It is a practise for mastery of your own mind. Work is an opportunity to think God, love God, serve God, and be God.
Without addressing and correcting the misperception of separation from God, it is almost impossible to be quiet in the mind and become a silent watcher, because the mind would be plagued by hidden fears and anxiety, or open bitterness.
To be in Zen is to be aware and living in God’s Will and Love; it is to do one thing at a time. Forget the importance of time. Let go of the watches and clocks. Pay no attention to time. Let time not be the factor of your decision-making. Allow inner sense to guide you .
