克里希那穆提《生命书》新译(11月3日):莫名的创造力

我们想出名,想成为作家、诗人、画家、政治家、歌唱家,或其他梦想角色。你想过吗,这是为什么?因为我们根本没有真正爱当下的工作。如果你爱唱歌,爱画画,爱写诗,如果你真心热爱,那么你就不会介意自己出名与否。想出名,是世俗浮华,小器而愚蠢,是毫无意义的。但因为我们不爱自己手头的事,所以沽名钓誉,来充实自己。我们现在的教育已经腐败不堪,因为它总教我们爱慕成功,而不是热爱当下的工作,所以,结果变得更为重要,超过了行动本身。

你知道,隐匿你的锋芒,寂而不名,热爱手头的事而不事炫耀,斯为真善;内心仁爱,不务虚名,斯为真善。那样不会让你扬名,不会让你的照片荣登报端,不会有政客名流登门与你交游。你只是一个寂然无名而内心创意无限的人,个中有生命的丰盛与大美。

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

Anonymous Creativity

Have you ever thought about it? We want to be famous as a writer, as a poet, as a painter, as a politician, as a singer, or what you will. Why? Because we really don’t love what we are doing. If you loved to sing, or to paint, or to write poems—if you really loved it—you would not be concerned with whether you are famous or not. To want to be famous is tawdry, trivial, stupid, it has no meaning; but, because we don’t love what we are doing, we want to enrich ourselves with fame. Our present education is rotten because it teaches us to love success and not what we are doing. The result has become more important than the action.

You know, it is good to hide your brilliance under a bushel, to be anonymous, to love what you are doing and not to show off. It is good to be kind without a name. That does not make you famous, it does not cause your photograph to appear in the newspapers. Politicians do not come to your door. You are just a creative human being living anonymously, and in that there is richness and great beauty.
