我们想弄明白：是否存在永恒之境？不是梦幻中的永恒，而是发现真切的现实，发现事物的真相。
我们周围的一切，无论心内或与身外，诸如关系、思想、感受等，均短暂无常，迁流不息。明白了这一点，我们内心就转而渴求永恒——那种宁静、慈爱、仁善、安全的恒常状态，绝不因时、因事而毁灭，进而构建出所谓灵魂、大我，以及梦幻般的永恒乐园。
但是，这种永恒之境生于无常，所以也蕴含着无常的种子。唯有迁流无常，才真实不虚。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
There Is Only One Fact: Impermanence
We are trying to find out if there is, or is not, a permanent state—not what we would like, but the actual fact, the truth of the matter.
Everything about us, within as well as without—our relationships, our thoughts, our feelings—is impermanent, in a constant state of flux. Being aware of this, the mind craves permanency, a perpetual state of peace, of love, of goodness, a security that neither time nor events can destroy; therefore it creates the soul, the Atman, and the visions of a permanent paradise.
But this permanency is born of impermanency, and so it has within it the seeds of the impermanent. There is only one fact: impermanence.
