谦恭心能修炼吗?当你刻意谦恭时,那肯定不是真谦恭。
你想知道自己达到了什么境界。 这说明,你来听演讲,是为了修成某种境界——八风不动,幸福无尽,喜乐永恒,对吧?但,正如我之前所说,生命中无处可达,唯有不断了知真相,这就是生命之美。如果你已经修成正果,生命便到此为止了。在事业中,在各种手头事务中,正因为你们都已经有所成,或渴望有所成,所以才失望、挫折、痛苦。先生们,生命中没有什么境地等你抵达,唯有不断了知生命的真实,但这个觉知过程一旦有了经验的累积,生活就会充满痛苦。
当你带着全然觉照心,来听演讲,就绝不会追寻一个果,因为心灵在持续绽放,如同江河般流动不息。这样的心灵,绝不着意有为,换言之,此时那追逐目标的自我、我执心,已经止息了。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
There Is No Place at Which to Arrive
Can humility be practiced? Surely, to be conscious that you are humble is not to be humble.
You want to know that you have arrived. This indicates, does it not, that you are listening in order to achieve a particular state, a place where you will never be disturbed, where you will find everlasting happiness, permanent bliss? But as I said previously, there is no arriving, there is only the movement of learning—and that is the beauty of life. If you have arrived, there is nothing more. And all of you have arrived, or you want to arrive, not only in your business, but in everything you do; so you are dissatisfied, frustrated, miserable. Sirs, there is no place at which to arrive, there is just this movement of learning, which becomes painful only when there is accumulation.
A mind that listens with complete attention will never look for a result because it is constantly unfolding; like a river, it is always in movement. Such a mind is totally unconscious of its own activity, in the sense that there is no perpetuation of a self, of a “me,” which is seeking to achieve an end.
