There are three conditions which often look alike
有三种情况发生在这同一片树篱，
Yet differ completely, flourish in the same hedgerow:
往往貌似想像其实截然不同：
Attachment of self and to things and to persons,
对自身、对物和人们的依附，
Detachment from self and from things and from persons; and, growing between them, indifference
从自身、从物和人们的分离；以及在这两者之间
Which resembles the others as death resembles life,
产生的冷漠，它与前两种相似，犹如死与生相似，
Being between two lives — unflowering, between the live and the dead nettle.
处于两种生涯之间——不绽开花朵，处于生的和死的苦恼之间。
This is the use of memory:
这正是记忆的用处：
For liberation — not less of love but expanding of love beyond desire,
为了解脱——不是因为爱得不够而是爱超乎欲望之外的扩展，
and so liberation from the future as well as the past.
于是不仅从过去也从未来得到解脱。
