Can the mind even see the mind? We

have to answer yes and no. No, because

the mind can’t be a subject and object at

the same time. The mind interferes,

whether it wants to or not, whether it

knows it or not, in all that it observes;

and with all the more reason when it is

a question of itself. But the mind cannot

see itself completely. However, the

principal tool for purifying the mind is

the mind itself. The mind is its own

creator, at every instant. Hence its

responsibility, which is essential.

心能看到心嗎？

我們的答案是模稜兩可的.

它看不到, 因為心怎能同時

是觀察者又是被觀察的對象.

但無論它願不願意, 也無論它知不知道,

心卻涉入每一件它察覺中的事物;

尤其當問題本身和心相關時,

它涉入的理由就更多了.

但心總無法完整的看到自己.

終究, 淨化心靈的基本工具就是心靈本身.

心是時時刻刻心智活動的創造者.

它的責任不容忽視.
