请聆听问题，聆听文字背后的意义：粗钝之心能变敏锐吗？

如果我内心粗钝，又想变得敏锐，那么这种企图心本身就是粗钝的。请明白这一点，不要迷惑，而应明察。但如果我认识到自己粗钝，且不追逐改变，不强行变得更敏锐；如果我开始理解何谓粗钝，并在日常生活中觉察我的粗钝——例如，贪恋美食，吃相不佳，对人粗野、傲慢、自大，个人习惯与思维粗鄙不堪——那么这种觉察就已经在转化我。

同样，如果我愚钝并发誓变聪明，那么这种变聪明的企图心，就是更大的愚钝，因为重要的是看明白自己的愚钝，不论我付出多大努力让自己变聪明，但我的愚钝将依旧。或许我可以通过学习，自涂一层肤浅的优雅，或许我能引经据典，从大作家的书中寻章摘句，但在根本上我还是愚钝的。但如果我能在日常生活中看清并明白愚钝的各种表现，例如我如何对待仆人，如何看待邻居、穷人、富人、小职员，那么这种觉知就在粉碎我的愚钝。

Can the Crude Mind Become Sensitive?

Listen to the question, to the meaning behind the words. Can the crude mind become sensitive?

If I say my mind is crude and I try to become sensitive, the very effort to become sensitive is crudity. Please see this. Don’t be intrigued, but watch it. Whereas, if I recognize that I am crude without wanting to change, without trying to become sensitive, if I begin to understand what crudeness is, observe it in my life from day to day—the greedy way I eat, the roughness with which I treat people, the pride, the arrogance, the coarseness of my habits and thoughts—then that very observation transforms what is.

Similarly, if I am stupid and I say I must become intelligent, the effort to become intelligent is only a greater form of stupidity; because what is important is to understand stupidity. However much I may try to become intelligent, my stupidity will remain. I may acquire the superficial polish of learning, I may be able to quote books, repeat passages from great authors, but basically I shall still be stupid. But if I see and understand stupidity as it expresses itself in my daily life—how I behave toward my servant, how I regard my neighbor, the poor man, the rich man, the clerk—then that very awareness brings about a breaking up of stupidity.
