多数人的内心都缺乏激情。也许我们欲望蠢动，渴求这个，逃避那个，这些由头都能为你激发某种热情。但唯有彻底觉醒，探索心灵之路，点燃激情火焰，不掺杂任何动机，我们才能领悟痛苦。
为了领悟一个事物，我们必须有全然觉照的激情和勇猛。但如果激情专执，导致矛盾、冲突，则激情火焰就会熄灭。你必须保持激情的纯净火焰，以彻底终结痛苦，驱散烦恼。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
This Pure Flame of Passion
In most of us there is very little passion. We may be lustful, we may be longing for something, we may be wanting to escape from something, and all this does give one a certain intensity. But unless we awaken and feel our way into this flame of passion without a cause, we shall not be able to understand that which we call sorrow.
To understand something you must have passion, the intensity of complete attention. Where there is the passion for something that produces contradiction, conflict, this pure flame of passion cannot be; and this pure flame of passion must exist in order to end sorrow, dissipate it completely.
