The essential need within every living being is to seek pleasure. What do people do for pleasure? Now, different types of living entities have different standards of pleasure and they work in different ways to achieve them. For a little ant, the pleasure is a grain of sugar. For a moth, its pleasure is light. And we've seen what they'll do to attain that grain of sugar, how hard they will work to achieve that light, even taking the risk of their lives. For some people, their pleasure is to satisfy their ego by inflicting pain and harm on others. Some people find pleasure in being famous, in being adored and aggrandized. Some find pleasure in being worship, while some others find pleasure in acquisition of wealth, acquisition of property, acquisition of the power that comes with all these things. A mother finds pleasure in giving satisfaction to her child. A father finds pleasure in seeing the family prosper.
每個生物體的內在本質需求是追尋快樂。人們為了快樂都會做些什麼？如今，不同的生物體對於快樂有著不同的標準，他們以不同的方式去得到它。對於一隻螞蟻來說，快樂就是一顆糖粒；對於蛾子來說，快樂就是一束光線。我們看到了它們為得到那粒糖所揹負的，為到達那束光所付出的艱難，甚至是冒著生命危險。對於一些人來說，他們的快樂是把痛苦與傷害施加到別人身上而得來的自我滿足；一些人在出名和被羨慕、被誇大中得到快樂；一些人在被崇拜中感到快樂；另外一些人在追求財富，名利和權勢中找到快樂。一個母親在滿足孩子時感到快樂，一個父親在看到家族繁盛時感到快樂。
Everyone is looking for pleasure. That essential need for pleasure, in its most important form, is the pleasure of love. Even if you were the proprietor of everything on the entire planet earth but you were the only person on earth, you would be unhappy. There can be no real satisfaction of the heart without having people to love and without being loved. The real problem in the world is poverty of the heart. The only way to fill that hunger is love. The only thing that touches the heart is love. To love means to give.
每個人都在尋求快樂，這種對快樂的本質需求，其最重要的表現形式是愛的快樂。如果你擁有一切，可整個地球上只有你一個人存在，你不會感覺到開心。沒有人與人之間愛與被愛的互動，不可能有真正的內心滿足。內心的匱乏是世界上真正的問題，愛是填滿它的唯一途徑。愛是唯一可以觸動心絃的，去愛意味著去給予。
The child gives nothing to the mother, but the mother is found to take more satisfaction in that child that practically anything or anyone else and all she is doing is giving her love, all she is doing is just sacrificing.
孩子不給母親任何東西，可比起任何人、任何事物，母親卻在孩子身上得到更大的滿足，她所做的就是給予愛，所做的僅僅是付出和犧牲。
Because that is real pleasure. Love is not just to take, love is to give. The more you give, the more genuine you giving is, the more people will naturally reciprocate, thus bringing satisfaction to the heart.
因為這就是真正的快樂。愛不僅僅是索取，愛是去給予。你給予的越多，越真誠，自然會有越來越多的人回饋你，從而帶來內心的滿足感。
