如是說999

Keep love warm in your heart. No matter how bereft of love you may have felt your whole life long, no matter how much love you were given for a while until a love abandoned you and you wept that your beloved was not your true love, no matter what, you are to stay true to the indwelling love in your heart. You are not to abandon love in your heart nor turn away from it. Love is the essence of all hearts. Love is your very Being. Keep the love in your heart resounding.

让爱温暖你的心。无论你失去了多少爱，你都能感受到你的一生，无论你付出多少爱，直到爱抛弃你，你哭泣着你的爱人不是你真正的爱，不管怎样，你要忠于内心深处的爱。不要放弃心中的爱，也不要放弃爱。爱是所有心灵的精髓。爱是你的存在。让爱在你心中回荡。

What you are to abandon, however, is your presumed ownership of another’s heart. All hearts are free to beat where they will. All those you have loved or do love are yours to release from obligation to love you. I give free will to everyone. You are not to hold another’s heart prisoner. By all means, there is no need for you to hold anyone’s heart under your thumb. Love isn’t deeded to you the way a house is deeded nor is your beloved indebted even to past vows. Another’s love has to fit his own picture frame. Love is to be free with or without your permission.

然而，你要放弃的是你对他人心灵的假定所有权。所有的心都可以自由地跳动。你所爱或所爱的人都是你的，从爱你的义务中解脱出来。我给每个人自由的意志。你不应该持有别人的心囚犯。无论如何，你不需要在你的拇指底下握住任何人的心。爱不是以房子的方式向你让步，也不是你的爱人对过去的誓言负债累累。另一个人的爱情必须符合他自己的框框。爱是自由或有或没有你的许可。

Even what is called True Love is the love it is when and where it lasts. You can’t order around your own heart, let alone rule another’s. A span of love lasts as long as it lasts. Love is your Being.

甚至所谓的真爱，也就是爱情在何时何地持续下去。你不能围绕你自己的心去命令，更不用说统治他人了。爱的延续只要它持续下去。爱是你的存在。

Of course, you like love from others to be focused on you. You are to be love and love beyond boundaries. True love is, or it is not. Do not hold on to love as you would a ring. You do not wrap another’s love around your little finger. Love is free, or it is not love. Let your love rise from within your own heart.

当然，你喜欢别人对你的爱。你将是超越界限的爱与爱。真正的爱情是，或者不是。不要执着于爱，就像你的戒指一样。不要用你的小指缠绕别人的爱。爱是自由的，或者它不是爱。让你的爱从你内心深处升起。

Whatever part in life love has played, it doesn’t matter. No one else’s love is yours to possess. Neither is the love in your own heart your possession. Love is not held captive.

无论生活中的哪一部分是爱，都无所谓。没有别人的爱是属于你的。你心中的爱也不是你的财产。爱情不是被俘的。

Nor do you own your child. He or she is your baby, and you carry your baby in your arms for as long as you do. Sooner or later, you are to let loved ones traipse over to their own paths. Everyone belongs on his own path. You belong to your path. You love feeling loved, of course, yet louder is the love that rises from within your own heart. Love is true. That you love means love exists in your own heart. No one’s love is up for grabs. You may wholeheartedly deserve more love than you have had apportioned to you.

你也不拥有你的孩子。他或她是你的孩子，你把你的孩子抱在怀里，和你一样长。迟早，你会让爱的人走上自己的道路。每个人都属于他自己的道路。你属于你的道路。你爱被爱的感觉，当然，但更大声的是从内心深处升起的爱。爱是真实的。你的爱意味着爱存在于你自己的心中。没有人的爱是值得争取的。你可以全心全意地得到比你分配给你更多的爱。

This doesn’t mean that anyone owes you love as you might wish. Love is not a product. It is not a trade-off. Keep your love viable. Claim your love within. You aren’t to divest yourself of all your love and let your love shine forth with or without an equal return. Your object is to love, to love when you are by yourself or in a crowd. Just love. Emanate love the way light shares itself.

这并不意味着有人欠你的爱，你可能会希望。爱情不是一种产品。这不是一个折衷方案。保持你的爱。在内心要求你的爱。你不放弃你所有的爱，让你的爱照耀或不平等的回报。你的目的是爱，爱是当你自己还是在人群中。只是爱。散发爱与光分享自己的方式。

You are love shining forth. It is your nature to shine love. Whether you can specify your own love or not, you are love to behold, and you are love to shine forth. You are a circle of love. You do not own even your own love, yet you are the benefactor of your love as well as the beneficiary.

你的爱闪耀着光芒。爱是你的天性。不管你是否能指定你自己的爱，你是爱的，你是爱发光的。你是一个爱的圈子。你甚至连你自己的爱都没有，但你是你的爱的受益者，也是受益者。

All love is Mine. I ask you to give love away in My Name. Accept My love, and be glad. Beloved, My love is given to you to share here, there, and everywhere. Share My love that beats in your golden heart.

所有的爱都是我的。我请求你以我的名义去爱。接受我的爱，并快乐。亲爱的，我的爱给予你在这里、那里和任何地方分享。分享我的爱，跳动在你的黄金心。
