Truth is a pathless land.
By Mary Lutyens, Krishnamurti: The Years of Fulfilment.

The core of Krishnamurti’s teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said:

‘Truth is a pathless land’.

Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.

Man has built in himself images as a fence of security—religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man’s thinking, his relationships, and his daily life.

These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity.

The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So, he is not an individual.

Freedom is not a reaction; freedom is not a choice. It is man’s pretense that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward.

Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.

Thought is time. Thought is born of experience and knowledge, which are inseparable from time and the past. Time is the psychological enemy of man. Our action is based on knowledge and therefore time, so man is always a slave to the past. Thought is ever-limited and so we live in constant conflict and struggle. There is no psychological evolution.

When man becomes aware of the movement of his own thoughts, he will see the division between the thinker and thought, the observer and the observed, the experiencer and the experience.

He will discover that this division is an illusion. Then only is there pure observation which is insight without any shadow of the past or of time. This timeless insight brings about a deep radical mutation in the mind.

Total negation is the essence of the positive. When there is negation of all those things that thought has brought about psychologically, only then is there love, which is compassion and intelligence."

克里希那穆提教导的核心
(写于1980年10月21日)

克里希那穆提教导的核心,包含在他1929年表述的命题中:“真理是无路之国。”

人不可能通过任何组织、任何信仰、任何教义,牧师或仪式、任何哲学知识或者心理技巧,来达到它。他需要通过关系的镜子,通过理解他自己心灵的内容,通过观察而不是理智的分析或者内省式的剖析,来找到它。

人为自己建立了各种形象,以充当安全的围墙-宗教的,政治的,个人的。它们以符号、思想、信仰的形式出现。这些形象的包袱,支配着人的思想,他的关系,以及他的日常生活。

这些形象是我们问题的源泉,因为它们把人与人分割开来。他对生活的感知被他头脑中已经确立的概念所左右。他意识的内容就是他全部的存在。这个内容是整个人类共有的。

个性只是名与形,以及他从传统与环境中所获得的表面的文化。人的独特性不在于表面,而在于从意识的内容中完全解放出来,而这些内容是整个人类共有的。所以他不是一个个人。

自由不是反应,自由不是选择。人自欺地认为,因为他有选择,所以他是自由的。自由是纯粹的观察,没有方向,没有对回报与惩罚的恐惧。

自由是没有动机的,自由不是在人的进化的结尾,而是在他存在的第一步。在观察中你开始发现自由的缺乏。自由是我们对日常生活的无选择觉知中找到的。

思想是时间。思想产生于经验和知识,而经验和知识是与时间和过去分不开的。时间是人类的心理敌人。我们的行动是基于知识,从而是基于时间的,所以人总是过去的奴隶。思想永远是局限的,所以我们生活在无休止的冲突与挣扎中。心理的进化是不存在的。

当人开始觉知到自己思想的运动时,他会看到思想者与思想、观察者与被观察者、经验者与经验之间的分割。他会发现这个分割是一个幻觉。

只有此时,才有纯粹的观察,它是没有任何过去及时间阴影的洞见。这个超越时间的洞见,带来一种深刻的,根本的心灵突变。

完全的否定是肯定的精髓。在否定了所有那些思想所带来的心理上的东西时,只有在此时,才有爱,也就是慈悲与智慧。

真理无路
真理是无路之国

意思差得太多了~~~~
“我主张真理是无路可循的。你不能透过任何宗教或法门而达到它。我绝对坚持这个观点。既然真理是无限的,没有任何束缚而又无路可循,当然也就不需要人为组织了。没有任何组织有权利强迫人们专走特定的一条路。如果你了解了这点,你就会发现信仰根本无法组织化。信仰纯属个人之事,你不能也不应该使它组织化,如果你这么做,真理就变成了僵死的教条,同时也变成那些懦弱的人和暂时无法得到满足的人的玩物。真理无法屈就于人,人必须通过努力来亲近它。高山无法自动移到你的脚前,你必须不畏艰险地穿过山谷,攀过悬崖峭壁,才能到达山顶。我不愿意属于任何宗教组织,请你们务必谅解这点。再一次地,我坚持主张没有任何宗教组织能引领人们见到真理,如果为了这个目的而成立人为组织,必定造成人们的依赖、软弱和束缚,既阻碍他们的成长,也使他们残缺不全。个人的特色一被抹杀,便无法见到那无限的真理了,这就是为什么我身为社长却又解散它的原因。我这么做完全是自动自发的,没有受到任何人的影响。
