A man must renounce piety altogether, if he does not at least wish to die like a Christian.
假如一个人一点都不想象基督教徒那样死去,那他就必定抛弃一切虔信了。Even worse, he put dark glasses of atheism on the eyes of men to keep them from seeing God's pastures, reserved for believing souls.
更坏的是,他把无神论的黑草放进人的眼里,让人们看不见神为虔信的灵魂保留的牧场。But you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness.
但你这属神的人啊,要逃避这些事,竭力追求公义、敬虔、信、爱、忍耐、温柔。Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime.
盲目虔信一个理论不是理智的美德,而是理智的罪过。Your deeply religious born-again Christian mother wants a test-tube grandbaby born out of wedlock?
你那虔信基督再生的母亲,会想要一个非婚生的试管婴儿当她的孙子?Why then do I take care of the body? It is to enjoy God, to sing His name and glories, and to go about visiting His jnanis and bhaktas .
那么,我为什么要照顾这个身体?它是用来享受神,唱颂他的圣名和荣耀,也用来拜访神的智慧者和虔信者。Concentration may also be attained through devotion to Ishwara.
通过虔信自在天也能达到专注。And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power.
他对我们虔信的人,所施展的强有力而见效的德能是怎样的伟大。But those who follow the path of devotion seek an Incarnation of God, to enjoy the sweetness of bhakti.
但是,那些跟随虔信道路的人会寻求神的化身,享受巴克提的甜蜜。
