真理，不属于那些万众敬仰的人，也不属于那些渴望自我扩张、自我实现的人。真理，不属于那些追逐安全与永恒的人，因为他追逐永恒，只是为了对治生命的短暂。他们困缚于时间罗网中，所以才追逐永恒，但他们追逐的永恒是虚幻的，因为那只是思维的造作。

所以，要想发现实相，你必须停止追逐——当然这并不意味着你必须满足于现状。相反，凡志在发现真理的人，内心必须是一个彻底的革命者；他不隶属于任何阶级、任何国家、任何群体，也不皈依任何意识形态、任何宗教组织，因为真理并不在寺院教堂里，真理也不蕴含在手工制作或思维造作的东西中。唯有摒除思维和人为造作之物，真理才会显现；而要想摒除人为造作，并不能诉诸时间。唯有那些解脱于时间罗网，不再以时间为手段实现自我扩张的人，真理才会垂爱他。所谓时间，是指昨天的记忆，家族的记忆、种族的记忆、你个性的记忆、经验的沉积，所有这些构成了你的“自我”。

——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）

The True Revolutionary

Truth is not for those who are respectable, nor for those who desire self-extension, self-fulfillment. Truth is not for those who are seeking security, permanency; for the permanency they seek is merely the opposite of impermanency. Being caught in the net of time, they seek that which is permanent, but the permanent they seek is not the real because what they seek is the product of their thought.

Therefore, a man who would discover reality must cease to seek—which does not mean that he must be contented with what is. On the contrary, a man who is intent upon the discovery of truth must be inwardly a complete revolutionary. He cannot belong to any class, to any nation, to any group or ideology, to any organized religion; for truth is not in the temple or the church, truth is not to be found in the things made by the hand or by the mind. Truth comes into being only when the things of the mind and of the hand are put aside, and that putting aside of the things of the mind and of the hand is not a matter of time. Truth comes to him who is free of time, who is not using time as a means of self-extension. Time means memory of yesterday, memory of your family, of your race, of your particular character, of the accumulation of your experience that makes up the “me” and the “mine.”
