内心安于平凡，是人生的大智慧——该做啥做啥，内心始终质朴纯真

平凡就是平常 普通 简单

这样一种状态

意味着内心必然在想法之外

Píng fán is ordinary, simple

Such a state means that

it is beyond the thoughts

若内心陷入想法

那自我的活动

必然会出现追名逐利

不甘于平凡

不甘于普通

想要出人头地

If the mind is trapped in thoughts

Then the self inevitably

begins to seek fame and benefit

the self is not contented to be anonymous

to be ordinary

the self wants to be something

这样一个活动

这样一个过程

内心充满了挣扎

行为充满了各种的好斗 攻击

尽管我们可以称之为进取

但那的确都是

来自于自我的攻击性侵略性

Such a mental activity

Such a process

is full of struggle

The behavior is full of aggressions, attacks

Though we usually call it "being motivated"

But in actuality

it is the aggressiveness of the self

若一个人放下自我

活在想法之外

这样一个状态必定是一个平凡的状态

平凡不代表一个人平庸

也不妨碍一个人出类拔萃杰出优秀

但无论怎样

平凡本身是人生的大智慧

If one ends the self-centered activities,

lives a life beyond thoughts,

then such a mental state must be anonymous and ordinary

Being ordinary does not mean being mediocre

It does not prevent a person from being outstanding either

Anyway

Being ordinary itself is the great wisdom of life

一颗能够安于平凡的内心

也是一颗自知的内心

自知便是了解自性理解内心

A mind that can be at ease with being ordinary

is a mind that can learn about itself

Self-knowledge is to understand one's nature of mind

当一个人自我活跃的时候

内心充满了各种等同

跟自己的某些技能特长等同

所以自己不甘于平凡

不甘于普通

希望能够得到更多人的认可赞许

能够获得更高的社会地位

名望财富等等等等

When the self is activie

The mind is always identifying itself with many things

with some expertise or skill

so the self is never contented to be ordinary

or to be anonymous

The self hopes to be approved or recognized by more people

to achieve a higher social status

Fame, wealth, etc.

你看自我一旦活跃

人就会在想法里面去追逐这些东西

这样的心态充满了各种问题

各种的挑战冲突混亂

甚至是暴力

带着这样的心态做事情

往往是适得其反

As long as the self becomes active

people begin to seek in their thougths

Such a mind is inevitably full of issues

Various challenges, conflicts, chaos

Even violence

Doing things with this mindset

is often counterproductive

平凡意味着彻底放下自我

放下各种的等同

安然的活在这一刻

简简单单

普普通通

该做啥做啥

但内心始终是一个质朴纯真的状态

这是普通

这便是平凡

Being ordinary means completely letting go of oneself

Letting go of various identities

making peace with this moment

Simple and ordinary

Play the game with a mind outside the game

But the mind is still simple and innocent

This is ordinary and anonymous
