如果你已走过观心的探索之旅，并理解了思维的全部过程，就会发现，你的心已经全然宁静。在这全然宁静中，你的内在已经没有能动的观察心，因而也没有能动体验心，没有任何心体在那里采集人生体验——那是自我中心的心智所热衷的活动。
切莫说“那就是禅定”，这一名相毫无意义，因为你只是在书里读过“禅定”，却从未亲证过。名相与实物有天壤之别，名相绝非实物，“门”这个字眼，与真实的门是两码事。
所以，观心就是清空那些自我中心的内在活动。如果你已经观照到这一境界，你会发现自己内心寂静，全然虚空。心，不再为社会所染着，不再风从于任何影响力，不再屈从于任何欲望的压力。这就是寂然独立，心不染着，这就是纯真。此时，就可能超脱时间，证入永恒，证入本真。
以上全过程，就是观心。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Finding Silence
If you have followed this inquiry into what is meditation, and have understood the whole process of thinking, you will find that the mind is completely still. In that total stillness of the mind, there is no watcher, no observer, and therefore no experiencer at all; there is no entity who is gathering experience, which is the activity of a self-centered mind.
Don’t say, “That is samadhi”—which is all nonsense, because you have only read of it in some book and have not discovered it for yourself. There is a vast difference between the word and the thing. The word is not the thing; the word door is not the door.
So, to meditate is to purge the mind of its self-centered activity. And if you have come this far in meditation, you will find there is silence, a total emptiness. The mind is uncontaminated by society; it is no longer subject to any influence, to the pressure of any desire. It is completely alone, and being alone, untouched, it is innocent. Therefore there is a possibility for that which is timeless, eternal, to come into being.
This whole process is meditation.
