假如你从未读过zong教或心理学著作，又决心探索生命的意义与价值，那么你将如何起步呢？假设️世间没有大师，没有zong教组织，没有fo陀，没有ji督，你必须总零开始，那么你将如何下手呢？
首先，你必须明白自己的思维过程，而不是把自己的想法投射到未来，造出一尊神来自娱自乐——那太幼稚了。所以，你必须首先理解自己的思维过程，这是探索任何新事物的唯一路径。
我们说，学习或知识是心灵的障碍，这并不涵盖技术知识，比如驾驶汽车、操作机器，运用知识提升效率等。此外，我们的心灵还拥有全然不同的东西——充满创造力的喜悦感，这是再多的知识或学习都难以企及的。“创造”最本真的意义，是指在每一个当下，放下过去，获得心灵自由，因为过去记忆如同阴翳，一刻不停地蒙蔽着当下。如果仅仅执迷于他人的信息、经验、言教，并奉为自己行动的圭臬，不论有多伟大，所有那些也只是知识而已，是吧？为了探索新事物，你必须独自出发，开启一程彻底放空——特别是放空知识的生命之旅，因为你很容易通过知识和信仰而衍生经验，但这些经验只是自我投射，故而完全是虚幻不实的。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Understand the Process of Your Thinking
Suppose you had never read a book, religious or psychological, and you had to find the meaning, the significance of life. How would you set about it? Suppose there were no Masters, no religious organizations, no Buddha, no Christ, and you had to begin from the beginning. How would you set about it?
First, you would have to understand your process of thinking, would you not?—and not project yourself, your thoughts, into the future and create a God who pleases you; that would be too childish. So first you would have to understand the process of your thinking. That is the only way to discover anything new, is it not?
When we say that learning or knowledge is an impediment, a hindrance, we are not including technical knowledge—how to drive a car, how to run machinery—or the efficiency that such knowledge brings. We have in mind quite a different thing: that sense of creative happiness that no amount of knowledge or learning will bring. To be creative in the truest sense of that word is to be free of the past from moment to moment, because it is the past that is continually shadowing the present. Merely to cling to information, to the experiences of others, to what someone has said, however great, and try to approximate your action to that—all that is knowledge, is it not? But to discover anything new you must start on your own; you must start on a journey completely denuded, especially of knowledge, because it is very easy, through knowledge and belief, to have experiences; but these experiences are merely the products of self-projection and therefore utterly unreal, false.
