痛苦，名耶？实耶？如果痛苦实实在在，不止于名相，那么名相就毫无意义，所以唯有剧烈的痛苦感受，才真实存在。
痛苦，与什么相牵连？痛苦，关乎某个心象、某段经验、某种事物。你一旦拥有，则快乐；否则，就痛苦。所以，痛苦总与某物相关联；该物，究竟只是口说，还是实有？痛苦，和恐惧一样，不能自生自存，只能存在于心物关系中，挂在某人、某事、某种感受上。
现在，你对痛苦有了透彻觉知。那么，痛苦，是与你分开、待你观察的客体，抑或与你浑然一体呢？
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Is Suffering Merely a Word or an Actuality?
Is suffering merely a word, or an actuality? If it is an actuality and not just a word, then the word has no meaning now, so there is merely the feeling of intense pain.
With regard to what? With regard to an image, to an experience, to something that you have or have not. If you have it, you call it pleasure; if you haven’t, it is pain. Therefore pain, sorrow, is in relationship to something. Is that something merely verbalization, or an actuality?—as fear cannot exist by itself but only in relationship to something: to an individual, to an incident, to a feeling.
Now, you are fully aware of the suffering. Is that suffering apart from you and therefore you are merely the observer who perceives the suffering, or is that suffering you?
