克里希那穆提《生命书》新译(11月5日):懂得何时拒绝合作
那些政治、社会以及宗教的改革家们如果不明白自心的运转机制,则只能为人类带来更多的痛苦。理解了人心的全部运转过程,就会产生根本性的内心革命。从这种内在革命中,就会迸发出真正的合作——这不是指那种与僵化模式、与权威人物、与“多知”人士的合作。当你因为内在革命而懂得如何合作时,你也会懂得何时拒绝合作,这一点实在很重要,或许比懂得合作更为重要。
时下,任何能提出变革、变化方案的人,我们都与之合作,但他们的所谓变革,只是带来无尽的冲突与苦难。唯有理解了心智的全部过程,才能产生真正的合作精神;唯有在真正的合作精神中,人们才能解脱于自我;唯有懂得何谓真正的合作精神,我们才能创造出一种新文明,一个全新的世界,在那里没有贪欲,没有嫉妒,没有攀比。
这不是理论乌托邦,而是内心的真实状态,在这种状态中,心不断地探索真实,追求幸福。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
Know When Not to Cooperate
Reformers—political, social, and religious—will only cause more sorrow for man unless man understands the workings of his own mind. In the understanding of the total process of the mind, there is a radical, inward revolution, and from that inward revolution springs the action of true cooperation, which is not cooperation with a pattern, with authority, with somebody who “knows.” When you know how to co-operate because there is this inward revolution, then you will also know when not to cooperate, which is really very important, perhaps more important.
We now cooperate with any person who offers a reform, a change, which only perpetuates conflict and misery, but if we can know what it is to have the spirit of cooperation that comes into being with the understanding of the total process of the mind and in which there is freedom from the self, then there is a possibility of creating a new civilization, a totally different world in which there is no acquisitiveness, no envy, no comparison.
This is not a theoretical utopia but the actual state of the mind that is constantly inquiring and pursuing that which is true and blessed.
