如果没有爱，人类如何生活？没有爱，我们只能存活；没有爱，生活就成了控制、混乱、痛苦——多数人天天在制造这样的生活。
为了生存，我们组织起来，接纳冲突，视之为不可避免，因为我们的生活就是无休止地谋求权力。当我们心里有爱，组织才有它的位置——恰当的位置；如果心里没有爱，组织就变成了噩梦，只求机械、高效，如同军队；而现代社会恰恰建立在效率基础之上，我们必须拥有军队，而军队的目的是制造战争。即便在所谓的和平中，我们智力越高效，就会变得越无情，越残忍，越冷漠。所以，世界上充满了混乱，官僚主义越来越强大，越来越多的政府变成集权主义。我们认为这不可避免，故而屈从于这一切，因为我们活在大脑世界，而不是用心生活，所以没有爱。
爱，是生活中最危险、最不确定的元素，因为我们不想生活在不确定的危险状态，所以活进了大脑思维中。一个心中有爱的人是危险的，而我们不想冒险地活着，只想高效地活着，只想生活在组织框架内，因为我们认为组织会为世界带来秩序与和平，但组织从未带来过秩序与和平。唯有爱，唯有善，唯有仁，才能产生秩序与和平，在终极，在当下。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Love Is Dangerous
How can man live without love? We can only exist, and existence without love is control, confusion, and pain—and that is what most of us are creating.
We organize for existence and we accept conflict as inevitable because our existence is a ceaseless demand for power. Surely, when we love, organization has its own place, its right place; but without love, organization becomes a nightmare, merely mechanical and efficient, like the army; but as modern society is based on mere efficiency, we have to have armies—and the purpose of an army is to create war. Even in so-called peace, the more intellectually efficient we are, the more ruthless, the more brutal, the more callous we become. That is why there is confusion in the world, why bureaucracy is more and more powerful, why more and more governments are becoming totalitarian. We submit to all this as being inevitable because we live in our brains and not in our hearts, and therefore love does not exist.
Love is the most dangerous and uncertain element in life; and because we do not want to be uncertain, because we do not want to be in danger, we live in the mind. A man who loves is dangerous, and we do not want to live dangerously; we want to live efficiently, we want to live merely in the framework of organization because we think organizations are going to bring order and peace in the world. Organizations have never brought order and peace. Only love, only goodwill, only mercy can bring order and peace, ultimately and therefore now.
