在日常的关系生活中,如果你咄咄逼人,贪得无餍,追逐今生和来世的精神安全,那么就不要以为,只需祈求和平,就能拥有和平。你必须明白冲突与痛苦的核心起因,并予以化解,而不是指望外界为你带来和平。
但如你所见,多数人都是慵懒的,懒到难以把握自己、理解自己。而懒惰实际上是一种异想天开,以为别人会为我们解决问题,带来和平;或者以为只需消灭那些发动战争的少数分子,和平就会降临。实际上,当一个人内心有冲突,必然在外界制造冲突;唯有内心和平,才能为外界带来和平,因为究竟而言,人心即世界。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
The Central Cause of Conflict
Do not think by merely wishing for peace you will have peace, when in your daily life of relationship you are aggressive, acquisitive, seeking psychological security here or in the hereafter. You have to understand the central cause of conflict and sorrow and then dissolve it and not merely look to the outside for peace.
But you see, most of us are indolent. We are too lazy to take hold of ourselves and understand ourselves, and being lazy, which is really a form of conceit, we think others will solve this problem for us and give us peace, or that we should destroy the apparently few people that are causing wars. When the individual is in conflict within himself he must inevitably create conflict without, and only he can bring about peace within himself and so in the world, for he is the world.
