第40章 降魔先降心 驭横先驭气

To vanquish monsters,first vanquish the wicked thoughts in mind;to control absurdity,first control the internal rashness in heart.

降魔者先降自心，心伏则群魔退听；驭横者先驭此气，气平则外横不侵。

今文解译

要想降伏恶魔，首先要降伏自己内心的邪念，唯有如此，形形色色的恶魔才会乖乖地退避三舍。

要想制服乱象，首先要控制自己的焦躁情绪，控制住了自己的焦躁情绪，乱象也就于你无害了。

EngIish TransIation

To vanquish monsters,one should first vanquish the wicked thoughts in one's own heart;only when the wicked thoughts are vanquished could all the monsters be obedient at one's command.

To control external absurdity,one should first have control over the impetuosity of one's own;only when the impetuosity of one's own is well under control could the external absurdity not invade.
