你越渴望从心灵桎梏中解脱,反而越强化桎梏。但如果不再努力压抑欲望,而是领悟欲望的全过程,那么就在这领悟的同时,你已经获得了解脱。不能把解脱桎梏当作直接结果去追逐,你明白了吗?如果我刻意追求解脱,这一欲望反而变成了又一道枷锁。或许我能砸碎这一道枷锁,同时却困入了另一道枷锁。但,如果我彻悟欲望本身——包括解脱欲,那么这一觉悟本身就能消融一切心灵桎梏。所以,重要的并非解脱桎梏,它只是觉悟的副产品;重要的是明白:制造心灵桎梏的,究竟是什么?
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
Freedom from Conditioning
The desire to free oneself from conditioning only furthers conditioning. But if, instead of trying to suppress desire, one understands the whole process of desire, in that very understanding there comes freedom from conditioning. Freedom from conditioning is not a direct result. Do you understand? If I set about deliberately to free myself from my conditioning, that desire creates its own conditioning. I may destroy one form of conditioning, but I am caught in another. Whereas, if there is an understanding of desire itself, which includes the desire to be free, then that very understanding destroys all conditioning. Freedom from conditioning is a byproduct; it is not important. The important thing is to understand what it is that creates conditioning.
