克里希那穆提《生命书》新译（1月7日）：聆听自己的心声

提问：当我在这里聆听你的教诲时，我似乎懂了。但当我离开后，我依然不懂，尽管我想努力运用你的教诲。

克答：你真正聆听的，是你自己的内心，而不是演讲人。如果你只聆听演讲人，那么他在引领你，左右着你的理解，这是可怖的坏习惯，因为你已经树立了权威崇拜。

所以，此时此地，你真正聆听的，是你自己。当你审视演讲人所描绘的画面时，你所看到的，是你自己的心像，不是演讲人的画面。如果对此很昭然，当你审视自己说：“我看到了自己的真实样子，我不想做任何改变。”那么你会止步不前。但如果你说：“我看到了自己的真实样子，我必须改变！”然后你根据自己的领悟而努力前行——这与听从演讲者并亦步亦趋是截然不同的。

……但，如果演讲者在台上讲，而你聆听自己的心声，那么在这聆听之中，有一种清明澄澈，有一种敏锐机灵；在这聆听之中，心会变得健全、强大，既非顺从，也非抗拒，心变得鲜活、热情。只有这样的人，才能创造新时代，才能创造世界。

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

译按：此篇不易解。个人理解如下：人们阅读经籍、聆听教诲时，真正读、听的对象，并非经籍、教诲，而是自己内在的心像和声音。比如，信仰中的权威崇拜，可能是自己内在的惶惑乃至恐惧，绑缚于经卷、大师之上，获得慰藉、归宿与安全。此时应聆听、审视的，是内心对慰藉、归宿、安全感的本能诉求，这是最真实的内心画面与声音，而经卷教诲不过是一个引子，是一把精神拐杖。在这样的聆听与审视中，若参破了这层安全感以及下面隐藏的惶惑与恐惧，则如同乌云散去，心头自有清明澄澈，豁然开朗，之前被困住的能量即奔涌而出。

Listening to Yourself

QUESTIONER: While I am here listening to you, I seem to understand, but when I am away from here, I don’t understand, even though I try to apply what you have been saying.

KRISHNAMURTI: … You are listening to yourself, and not to the speaker. If you are listening to the speaker, he becomes your leader, your way to understanding—which is a horror, an abomination, because you have then established the hierarchy of authority.

So what you are doing here is listening to yourself. You are looking at the picture the speaker is painting, which is your own picture, not the speaker’s. If that much is clear, that you are looking at yourself, then you can say, “Well, I see myself as I am, and I don’t want to do anything about it”—and that is the end of it. But if you say, “I see myself as I am, and there must be a change,” then you begin to work out of your own understanding—which is entirely different from applying what the speaker is saying….

But if, as the speaker is speaking, you are listening to yourself, then out of that listening there is clarity, there is sensitivity; out of that listening the mind becomes healthy, strong. Neither obeying nor resisting, it becomes alive, intense—and it is only such a human being who can create a new generation, a new world.
