使用了other than结构来表达“除了……之外”的对比含义。
If you can truly be yourself, there will be no inner division, and the energy of your entire life will remain harmonious. This harmony itself is a source of joy. When you try to become someone or something else, your inner world becomes divided. One part of you resists another part, and the energy of your life inevitably turns into conflict and separation.
This inner conflict and division can become a heavy burden, bringing pain and suffering, making life feel like an endless struggle. This is why many religions emphasize reducing desires, because Desire often represents the attempt to become something other than who you truly are. When a person constantly pursues external changes while ignoring their authentic self, inner division emerges, causing continuous suffering from that internal struggle.
如果你能够真正成为自己，就不会产生内在的分裂，生命中的能量也会保持和谐，而这种和谐本身就是一种喜悦。当你试图成为另一个不同的自己时，内心便会出现冲突，一部分的你会抗拒另一部分的你，生命的能量也会因此变成矛盾与分裂。
这种内在的冲突与分裂，会成为一种沉重的负担，带来痛苦与煎熬，使生命仿佛陷入无尽的困境。因此，许多宗教都强调减少欲望，因为欲望往往代表着想要成为某种不同存在的努力。当一个人不断追逐外在的改变，却忽视真实的自己时，内在的分裂便会产生，并让自己在这种矛盾中不断承受痛苦。
