觉悟人生的人，无需信仰；心中有爱的人，没有信仰，因为他心里有爱。只有被智力耗尽心力的人，才需要信仰，因为心智总在追寻安全与保护，总想逃避危险，所以构建出各种观念、信仰与理想，以寻求精神庇护。那么，如果你直接面对内心的暴力，那会怎样？你将成为社会的危险因素。因为预料到这种危险，所以你才宣称：“我修炼十年，实现非暴力的梦想！”其实这只是虚构，是一场虚幻。
领悟当下真相，比编织、追逐理想更重要，因为理想即虚幻，而实相方真实。要领悟真相，需要非常的能力，需要内心敏捷且无成见。因为我们不想面对真相、理解真相，所以发明了很多逃避之策，并美其名为理想、信仰、上帝。无疑，只有当我看清虚幻时，心才能觉察真实；心若迷惑于虚幻，就不能发现真相。
所以，我必须明白，在我的关系、理念以及周围事物中，哪些是虚幻不实的？因为要觉知真相，必须看清幻相；若不能清除无明之因，就不能觉悟；如果心中昏昧无明，却去追逐觉悟，则是完全空幻、毫无意义的。所以，我必须在与理念、众人和万物的关系中，看清一切虚幻。当看穿了虚幻，则真实自然显现，这其中有至乐，有喜悦。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Understanding What Is
Surely, a man who is understanding life does not want beliefs. A man who loves has no beliefs—he loves. It is the man who is consumed by the intellect who has beliefs, because intellect is always seeking security, protection; it is always avoiding danger, and therefore it builds ideas, beliefs, ideals, behind which it can take shelter. What would happen if you dealt with violence directly, now? You would be a danger to society; and because the mind foresees the danger, it says, “I will achieve the ideal of nonviolence ten years later”—which is such a fictitious, false process …
To understand what is is more important than to create and follow ideals because ideals are false, and what is is the real. To understand what is requires an enormous capacity, a swift and unprejudiced mind. It is because we don’t want to face and understand what is that we invent the many ways of escape and give them lovely names as the ideal, the belief, God. Surely, it is only when I see the false as the false that my mind is capable of perceiving what is true. A mind that is confused in the false can never find the truth.
Therefore, I must understand what is false in my relationships, in my ideas, in the things about me, because to perceive the truth requires the understanding of the false. Without removing the causes of ignorance, there cannot be enlightenment; and to seek enlightenment when the mind is unenlightened is utterly empty, meaningless. Therefore, I must begin to see the false in my relationships with ideas, with people, with things. When the mind sees that which is false, then that which is true comes into being and then there is ecstasy, there is happiness.
