〖油和水〗

油和水是不同的，同样的道理，一位有智慧的人和一位愚痴无明的人是不相同的。佛陀生活在色、声、香、味、触、法的世界里，但因为他是一位阿罗汉，所以他能遗物而不逐物。自从他了解了心就是心，想就是想后，便渐渐地舍离而不执著它们。他没有将它们混淆在一块儿。

心只是心，想和感觉也只是想和感觉；让事物就只是事物吧！让色只是色，让声只是声，让想只是想，我们又何须费事地执著它们呢？如果我们以这种方式去思考和感觉，那么，这就是出离和不执著了。我们的想和感觉将在一边，而我们的心会在另外一边，就好像油和水——它们同在一个瓶子里，然而，却是分开的。

Oil and Water

Oil and water are different in the same way that a wise man and an ignorant man are different. The Buddha lived with form, sound, odor, taste, touch and thought, but he was an arahant so he was able to turn away from them rather than toward them. He turned away and let go little by little, since he understood that the heart is just the heart and thought is just thought. He didn't confuse them and mix them together like an ignorant man does. The heart is just the heart. Thoughts and feelings are just thoughts and feelings. Let things be as they are. Let form be just form, let sound be just sound, let thought be just thought. Why should we bother to attach to them? If we feel and think in this way, then there is detachment and separateness. Our thoughts and feelings will be on one side and our heart will be on the other. Just like oil and water - they are in the same bottle but they are separate.
