一五六 自 欺
「我們該如何分辨真假神秘家？」這位弟子特別熱中於神祕宗教儀式。
「你怎麼分辨一個人正在真睡或假寐？」大師反問。
「沒有辦法，只有假睡的人自己心裏有數。」弟子說。
大師莞爾一笑。
然後大師又補充一句：「假寐者騙得了別人，却騙不了自己。不幸的是，假神秘家會連自己都蒙在鼓裏。」
ECEPTION
“How shall we distinguish the true mystic from the false?” asked the disciples who
had an inordinate interest in the occult.
“How do you distinguish the true sleeper from the one who is feigning sleep?” asked
the Master.
“There’s no way. Only the sleeper knows when he is feigning.” said the disciples.
The Master smiled.
Later he said, “The feigning sleeper can delude others — he cannot delude himself.
The false mystic, unfortunately, can delude both others and himself.”
