人类的心智通过经验、传统与记忆而不断地造作。虽然时刻处在体验中，但心智能否不再积累经验，从而获得自由呢？你明白二者的区别吗？我们所要的不是培育记忆，而是从心智的积累过程中解放出来。
你伤害了我，我有了受伤体验，然后储存起来，沉淀成我的传统。透过这个传统，我审视你，内心产生了反应——这是你我每天的心路历程。那么，虽然你伤害了我，但这个经验累积过程能否停下来呢？这是两种截然不同的心路历程。
你对我出言不逊，伤害了我。但如果我不把它看得有多重，则那么这事就不会变成我行为的背景音，这样我就能用全新的心态来面对你。这才是真正的教育，这才是“教育”这个词最深邃的内涵。因为我看清了经验对心灵的束缚作用，所以心灵就不再被经验所束缚。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Real Education
The mind creates through experience, tradition, memory. Can the mind be free from storing up, though it is experiencing? You understand the difference? What is required is not the cultivation of memory but the freedom from the accumulative process of the mind.
You hurt me, which is an experience; and I store up that hurt; and that becomes my tradition; and from that tradition, I look at you, I react from that tradition. That is the everyday process of my mind and your mind. Now, is it possible that, though you hurt me, the accumulative process does not take place? The two processes are entirely different.
If you say harsh words to me, it hurts me; but if that hurt is not given importance, it does not become the background from which I act; so it is possible that I meet you afresh. That is real education, in the deep sense of the word. Because, then, though I see the conditioning effects of experience, the mind is not conditioned.
