Western brains work, they work a

great deal, but always in the direction

of efficiency. In the way the mind puts

itself at the service of the result. Like

all servants, it renounces its

independence. I am talking about

another form of spiritual life, more

detached and deeper, free from the

obsession of a goal to be reached. In a

way, the universal invasion of

technology, everywhere it goes,

lessens the life of the mind.

西方的頭腦勤於工作,

他們大量的工作,

但總是在效率上努力不懈.

心靈就會把自己放在追求結果這個目標上,

就像一個放棄獨立自主的僕人.

我想說的是另一種精神生活,

更超然而深入, 必須脫離追逐特定成果的迷戀.

在某個程度上, 科技全面的侵略,

其所經之處, 心靈生活就不斷地被剝削.
