抓则紧｜Controlling makes us nervous

我们习惯了抓取

We're used to having things under control

却忽略抓的同时而出现紧的感觉

but we forget that it will make us feel a sense of tightness.

紧会让我们丢失许多能力

This sense of tightness makes us lose a lot of power.

这就是为什么当我们有需求时

That's why when we want to have something,

心会不由的紧张

we can't help feeling nervous,

会语无伦次

speaking incoherently,

会记忆减退

and having a bad memory.

当我们放下一些事时

But when we try not to control things,

心会放松下来

our mind will relax 

许多事情自然会水到渠成

and many things will come naturally.

无疑

Without doubt,

抓则紧

Taking controb makes us nervous.

所以抓的多并不一定是好事

So controlling more is not necessary a good thing.

而修行就是放下

And Buddhist practice is the way to let go,

减负

unburden,

归零

return to our old self,

回归本具的富足

and return to our intrinsic state of abundance.
