The Great Pleasure of Rest 休息的伟大乐趣

There is a pleasure in rest and there is a pleasure in activity. The pleasure in activity is momentary and causes fatigue. The pleasure in rest is magnanimous and energizing. So, to the one who has tasted pleasure in rest (Samadhi), the pleasure in activity is insignificant. All activities that you do, you do so that you can have deep rest. Activity is part of the system. However, the real pleasure is in Samadhi. In order to have deep rest, one must be active. The proper balance of both is essential.

Many seek pleasure in this or that but the wise man just smiles. The real rest is only in knowledge.

休息有乐趣，活动也有乐趣。来自活动的乐趣是短暂且会令人疲惫的，而来自休息的乐趣则是宽广高雅的，且是予人能量的。因此，对于一个已经偿过休息（三摩地）乐趣的人而言，从活动中所获得的乐趣是无足轻重的。你从事一切的活动，都是为了要获得深度的休息。活动是身体系统的一部分，然而真正的乐趣是在三摩地中。为了获得深度的休息，人必须要活动，两者的平衡十分重要。

许多人到处寻求乐趣，然而智者僅是微笑。只有在知识当中才有真正的休息。
