智慧,应由每个人去独立发现。智慧,并非知识的产物,二者彼此不相融通,只有当自我觉知臻于成熟的时候,智慧才会产生。人若无自我觉知,则心灵失序,因而失德。

觉知自我,与积累有关自我的知识,是截然不同的。……如果心忙于博取知识,就不是学习,而只是搜罗信息与体验,然后又以所搜罗的知识为背景,进一步体验学习,但这只是认知与占有,绝不是真正的学习。

真正的学习,总是在活泼的当下,而没有任何过去的“所知障”。一旦你宣称:“我学成了!”心的灵动就已经凝固为知识。以这知识为背景,你可以积累、转译,但不能继续学习。心,不应猎取凝固的知识,而应不懈地学习真知;唯有这样的心灵,才能理解我们所谓的“小我”或“自我”的全部本质。我必须觉知自我,觉知其结构、本性和意义,但如果我背负着过去的知识与经验,让自己的心灵束缚重重,那么我就不能觉知自我,因为那不是真正的学习,而只是在用过去来诠释、转译当下,因为眼睛被过去的云翳所遮蔽,所以不能看清真相。

——克里希那穆提《生命书:365静心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)

译注:past,即过去的经历在内心沉淀而成的知识、价值、信念等,与佛家“所知障”相近,故径以该词对译。

Learning Has No Past

Wisdom is something that has to be discovered by each one, and it is not the result of knowledge. Knowledge and wisdom do not go together. Wisdom comes when there is the maturity of self-knowing. Without knowing oneself, order is not possible, and therefore there is no virtue.

Now, learning about oneself, and accumulating knowledge about oneself, are two different things…. A mind that is acquiring knowledge is never learning. What it is doing is this: It is gathering to itself information, experience as knowledge, and from the background of what it has gathered, it experiences, it learns; and therefore it is never really learning, but always knowing, acquiring.

Learning is always in the active present; it has no past. The moment you say to yourself, “I have learned,” it has already become knowledge, and from the background of that knowledge you can accumulate, translate, but you cannot further learn. It is only a mind that is not acquiring, but always learning—it is only such a mind that can understand this whole entity that we call the “me,” the self. I have to know myself, the structure, the nature, the significance of the total entity; but I can’t do that burdened with my previous knowledge, with my previous experience, or with a mind that is conditioned, for then I am not learning, I am merely interpreting, translating, looking with an eye that is already clouded by the past.
