怀抱着希望与恐惧，我们聆听，寻求他人的智慧之光，但因为内心不够机敏虚静，所以不能觉悟。如果某位解脱智者能满足我们的渴望，我们就会接纳他：否则，我们会继续寻觅他人。其实我们多数人所渴求的，只是不同层次的满足感而已。

重要的，并不是寻到解脱的智者，而是觉知自心。因为无论今生或来世，任何权威都不能将自知之明传授给你；如果没有自我觉知，你就绝不️能从无明与痛苦中解脱。

——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）

Liberation from Ignorance, from Sorrow

We listen with hope and fear; we seek the light of another but are not alertly passive to be able to understand. If the liberated seems to fulfill our desires we accept him; if not, we continue our search for the one who will; what most of us desire is gratification at different levels.

What is important is not how to recognize one who is liberated but how to understand yourself. No authority here or hereafter can give you knowledge of yourself; without self-knowledge there is no liberation from ignorance, from sorrow.
