一五六 自 欺
「我们该如何分辨真假神秘家？」这位弟子特别热中于神祕宗教仪式。
「你怎么分辨一个人正在真睡或假寐？」大师反问。
「没有办法，只有假睡的人自己心里有数。」弟子说。
大师莞尔一笑。
然后大师又补充一句：「假寐者骗得了别人，却骗不了自己。不幸的是，假神秘家会连自己都蒙在鼓里。」
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.”
