为什么我们总是信奉、追随权威?
我们先是尊奉他的威望与经验,不久又开始质疑。这种追寻权威进而幻灭的过程,对于我们多数人而言,都是痛苦不堪的。
我们谴责、批评曾经信奉过的权威、领袖、导师,但却从不自我检讨:为什么我们渴求一个权威来指引我们的言行?
一旦明白了这份渴望,我们就能明白质疑的重要意义。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
Why Do We Follow?
Why do we accept, why do we follow?
We follow another’s authority, another’s experience and then doubt it; this search for authority and its sequel, disillusionment, is a painful process for most of us.
We blame or criticize the once accepted authority, the leader, the teacher, but we do not examine our own craving for an authority who can direct our conduct.
Once we understand this craving we shall comprehend the significance of doubt.
