结语 265
生活的确是黑暗的，除非有了渴望，
所有渴望都是盲目的，除非有了知识，
一切知识都是徒然的，除非有了工作，
所有工作都是空虚的，除非有了爱……
——《先知》
我曾有七次鄙视自己的灵魂：
第一次是看见她为了上升而故作谦卑时。
第二次是看见她在瘸者面前跛行时。
第三次是让她在难易之间做选择，她选择了易时。
第四次是她犯了错，却自我安慰说别人也犯同样的错时。
第五次是她容忍了软弱，还将这容忍视作坚强时。
第六次是她鄙弃一张难看的面孔，却不知那还是她自己的另一面具时。
第七次是她高唱颂歌却自以为这是一件美德时。
我希望我的生活永远是泪与笑：
泪会净化我的心灵，让我明白人生的隐秘和它的堂奥；
笑使我接近我的人类同胞，它是我赞美主的标志、符号。
泪使我借以表达我的痛心与悔恨；
笑则流露出我对自己的存在感到幸福和欢欣……
——《笑与泪》
应该说，《先知》《沙与沫》与泰戈尔的《吉檀迦利》在艺术上是有异曲同工之妙的……我总觉得泰戈尔的《吉檀迦利》表现得更天真、更畅快一些，也更富于神秘色彩。而纪伯伦的《先知》却更像一个饱经沧桑的老人，对年轻人讲些处世为人的哲理，在平静中流露着悲凉。
——中国现代著名文学家、翻译家 冰心
无论我们怎么描绘纪伯伦，我们的语言在他的作品面前，都像涓涓细流融入他充满思想和哲理的浩瀚而深邃的海洋。他像先知，寻求人类从禁锢他们心灵的陈规陋习的桎梏中解脱；他像导师，在人类的心灵中播种爱情，
在人民中传播幸福。
——黎巴嫩前驻华大使 法里德·萨玛赫
《沙与沫》是纪伯伦*著名的作品之一，作者以自然景物“沙”、“泡沫”为比喻，寓意着人在社会之中如同沙之微小，事物如同泡沫一般的虚幻。整部诗集内容富有哲理充满智慧，是一本关于生命、艺术、爱情、人性的格言书，值得反复品读。除了哲理以外，诗集还富于音韵之美，宛如天籁，传达出生命的爱和真谛，让那些困顿彷徨的人们，都能得到慰藉和鼓舞！与其他的作品一样，纪伯伦的诗文超越了时空、国界的限制，字句中蕴含深刻的哲理，体现了人类共同的情感，满足了不同心灵的不同需求。
——读者
纪伯伦的作品融合了东西方心灵的精髓，超越了时空，成为人类永恒的箴言。纪伯伦的散文是年轻人心灵的初恋，也是长者历经世事、蓦然回首的感悟，无论何时打开，宛如开启了一扇通往心灵的窗口，让你领略到先知隽永不朽的哲思……
——读者
孩子
一位怀抱婴儿的妇女说，请给我们讲讲孩子。
他说道：
你们的孩子并不是你们的孩子。
他们是生命对自身的渴求的儿女。
他们借你们而来，却不是因你们而来。
尽管他们在你们身边，却并不属于你们。
你们可以把你们的爱给予他们，却不能给予思想，
因为他们有自己的思想。
你们可以建造房舍荫庇他们的身体，但不是他们的心灵，
因为他们的心灵栖息于明日之屋，即使在梦中，你们也无缘造访。
你们可努力仿效他们，却不可企图让他们像你。
因为生命不会倒行，也不会滞留于往昔。
你们是弓，你们的孩子是被射出的生命的箭矢。
那射者瞄准无限之旅上的目标，用力将你弯曲，以使他的箭迅捷远飞。
让你欣然在射者的手中弯曲吧；
因为他既爱飞驰的箭，也爱稳健的弓。
On Children
And a woman who
held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
And he said:
Your children are
not your children.
They are the sons
and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through
you but not from you,
And though they are
with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them
your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their
own thoughts.
You may house their
bodies but not their souls,
For their souls
dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your
dreams.
You may strive to
be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not
backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows
from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the
mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His
arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in
the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as he
loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
施与
一位富人接下来说，请为我们讲施与。
他答道：
当你们拿出自己的财产时，你们的施与微不足道。
你们奉献自己时，才是真正的施与。
因为你们的财产不就是一些你们担心明天可能需要才占有、才保护的东西吗？
而明天，明天又能给那谨小慎微地追随朝圣者，而又把骨头埋藏在荒沙里的狗带来什么？
除了需要本身，你们还需要什么呢？
当井水满溢，你对干渴的恐惧岂不就是一种无法解脱的干渴？
有些人只捐弃自己财产中的一点一些—他们是为得到认可而施与，而他们隐藏的欲望使他们的馈赠不成为美。
也有一些人，他们拥有甚少，却全部付出。
他们相信生命和生命的赠礼，他们的储柜从不空虚。
有些人快乐地施与，这快乐就是他们的回报。
有些人痛苦地施与，这痛苦就是他们的洗礼。
还有一些人，给予时并不觉得痛苦，也不是为了寻求快乐，或布善施德；
他们施与，就像山谷那边的桃金娘散发芳香。
上帝通过这些人之手施教，透过他们的双眸向大地微笑。
被祈求时施与固然很好，但更高的境界是通过体察，在别人开口前相赠。
对于慷慨的人，能找到乐于接受馈赠的人较之施与本身是更深的快乐。
你有什么不能舍弃的呢？
总有一天，你所有的一切都将留与他人；
所以现在就馈赠吧，把奉献的时机留给你自己，而不是你的继承人。
你们常说：“我会解囊，但只为值得的人。”
你们果园中的树木不会这样说，你们草地上的羊群也不会这样说。
因为奉献，它们才会生存，而拒绝只会带来灭亡。
一个配得到自己白昼与黑夜的人，无疑配从你们这里获得其他一切。
一个配从生命之海中取饮的人，也配从你们的小溪里汲满水杯。
什么样的美德能超过接受的勇气、信任，甚至慈悲？
你是谁，值得人们撕开胸膛、摘下自尊的面纱，让你看到他们赤裸的价值和他们无愧的尊严？
先审视一下自己是否配做一个馈赠者，一件施与的工具。
因为一切都是生命对生命的馈赠—而你，将自己视为施主的你，不过是一个见证。
至于你们这些受惠者—你们的确都是受惠者—无须背负感恩戴德的重担，以免给自己以至施与者套上枷锁。
不如与施与者凭借馈赠，如同凭借一对翅膀，一起飞翔，因为耿耿于欠负，就是怀疑那以乐善好施的大地为母，以上帝为父的施与者的慷慨了。
On Giving
Then said a rich
man, Speak to us of Giving.
And he answered:
You give but little
when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give
of yourself that you truly give.
For what are your
possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow?
And tomorrow, what
shall tomorrow bring to the overprudent dog burying bones in the trackless sand
as he follows the pilgrims to the holy city?
And what is fear of
need but need itself?
Is not dread of
thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?
There are those who
give little of the much which they have— and they give it for recognition and
their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
And there are those
who have little and give it all.
These are the
believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.
There are those who
give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
And there are those
who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.
And there are those
who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with
mindfulness of virtue;
They give as in
yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Though the hands of
such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth.
It is well to give
when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding;
And to the
open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving.
And is there aught
you would withhold?
All you have shall
some day be given;
Therefore give now,
that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors’.
You often say, “I
would give, but only to the deserving.”
The trees in your
orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
They give that they
may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Surely he who is
worthy to receive his days and his nights is worthy of all else from you.
And he who has
deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your
little stream.
And what desert
greater shall there be than that which lies in the courage and the confidence,
nay the charity, of receiving?
And who are you
that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their
worth naked and their pride unabashed?
See first that you
yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
For in truth it is
life that gives unto life—while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
And you
receivers—and you are all receivers—assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay
a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives.
Rather rise
together with the giver on his gifts as on wings;
For to be
overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free-hearted
earth for mother, and God for father.
痛苦
一位妇人说，请给我们讲讲痛苦。
他说道：
你们的痛苦乃是包着你们悟性的外壳的破裂。
然而正如果核必定破裂暴露于阳光下，你们也必定经历痛苦。
每天，你们的心灵惊叹于生命的奇迹，你们的痛苦仿佛与你们的快乐一样奇妙；
你们将习惯心灵的季节变化，就像习惯接受来去于田野的季节变化。
于是，你们能够以宁静的心情看待你们悲凉的冬季。
你们的痛苦多是你们自己的选择。
它是你们体内的医生治疗你们病躯的苦药。因此请信任这医师，宁静地饮下他的药剂：
因为他的手，尽管沉重而坚硬，却由一只藏而不露的温柔的手在指引。
他端上的杯子，尽管烧灼你的双唇，却是由陶工用自己神圣的泪水打湿陶土而制成。
On Pain
And a woman spoke,
saying, Tell us of Pain.
And he said:
Your pain is the
breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone
of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know
pain.
And could you keep
your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not
seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would
accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons
that pass over your fields.
And you would watch
with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain
is self-chosen.
It is the bitter
potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the
physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand,
though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he
brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the
Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
教育
然后一位教师说，请给我们讲讲教育。
他说道：
无人能够启悟你们，除了那半醒着躺在你们悟性晓光中的东西。
走在圣殿阴影下，行于其追随者中的导师，传授的不是他的智慧，而是他的信念和爱。
如果他的确睿智，就不会命令你们进入他智慧的殿堂，而是引导你们走向自己心灵的门户。
天文学家能向你们讲授他对太空的理解，但却无法赋予你们他的感觉。
音乐家能为你们唱出响彻四方的旋律，但却无法赋予你们捕捉这旋律的耳朵，或回应这旋律的歌喉。
精通数学的人能谈论度量衡的领域，但却无法将你们引向那里。
因为一个人的洞察力不能将其羽翼借给另一个人。
就像你们每一个人都独自站在上帝的知识世界，你们每个人对上帝和世界的认识与理解也彼此独立。
On Teaching
Then said a
teacher, Speak to us of Teaching.
And he said:
No man can reveal
to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your
knowledge.
The teacher who
walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom
but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he is indeed
wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to
the threshold of your own mind.
The astronomer may
speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his
understanding.
The musician may
sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear
which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.
And he who is
versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure,
but he cannot conduct you thither.
For the vision of
one man lends not its wings to another man.
And even as each
one of you stands alone in God’s knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in
his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.
友谊
一个青年说，请为我们讲讲友谊。
他回答道：
你的朋友是对你需求的回答。
他是你的土地，你带着爱播种，带着感激的心情收获。
他是你的餐桌，你的炉灶，你饥饿时来到他身边，向他寻求安宁。
当你的朋友倾诉他的心曲，你不会害怕自己心中的“不”，也不会掩抑你心中的“是”。
当他默默无言时，你的心也不会停止倾听他的心；
因为在友谊的不言中，所有的思想、所有的欲望、所有的期盼带着无声的欢乐同生共享。
在与朋友分别时，你也不会悲伤；
因为当他不在身边时，他身上最为你所珍爱的东西会显得更加醒目，就像山峰对于平原上的登山者显得格外清晰。
不要对你们的友谊别有他图，除了对深化精神境界的希冀。
因为只寻求显露自身秘密的爱并非真爱，而是撒出的网：网住的只是些无益的东西。
奉献你最好的，给你的朋友。
如果他定要知道你的落潮，那么也让他知道你的涨潮。
只在你想消磨时光时才去寻找的朋友，难道还是朋友？
总该邀朋友共享生命。
因为朋友满足你的需要，而不是填满你的空虚。
在友谊的甜蜜中恣意欢笑，同享喜悦。
因为在细微未节的露珠中，你的心会找到焕发一新的晨曦。
On Friendship
And a youth said,
Speak to us of Friendship.
And he answered,
saying:
Your friend is your
needs answered.
He is your field
which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your
board and your fireside.
For you come to him
with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend
speaks his mind you fear not the “nay” in yourown mind, nor do you withhold the
“ay.”
And when he is silent
your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words,
in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared,
with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from
your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you
love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber
is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no
purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks
aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth:
and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best
be for your friend.
If he must know the
ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your
friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always
with hours to live.
For it is his to
fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the
sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of
little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
