我认为,专注于目标、觉照而无目标,这二者是有区别的。我们可以专注于某理念、信条、目标,守一不移;除此之外,还有一种觉知、觉照,并不是专注守一。
同样,生命中有一种不满足感,没有任何动机诉求,也不是源自挫败感,它不能疏导,也无从获得圆满。也许,我没找到最准确的词汇来描述它,但我知道,这种非同寻常的不满足感,是生命中不可或缺的;若缺了它,其他的任何不满足,就只能沦落为满足欲望的手段了。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365静心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
An Attention That Is Not Exclusive
I think there is a difference between attention that is given to an object and attention without object. We can concentrate on a particular idea, belief, object—which is an exclusive process; and there is also an attention, an awareness, which is not exclusive.
Similarly, there is a discontent which has no motive, which is not the outcome of some frustration, which cannot be canalized, which cannot accept any fulfillment. Perhaps I may not be using the right word for it, but I think that that extraordinary discontent is the essential. Without that, every other form of discontent merely becomes a way to satisfaction.
