我们来探讨一下，你所说的“转世”究竟指什么——是探讨转世的真相，而不是探讨你的转世观，也不是他人所言，或你的老师所教的转世。
无疑，能让你获得解脱的，是实相，而不是你关于转世的定论、见解……当你说“我将获得重生”时，你必须明白那个“我”究竟是什么……那个“我”是灵性体吗？那个“我”是延续不断的吗？那个“我”是独立于你的记忆、经验和知识吗？那个“我”，要么属灵，要么只是一个思维方便；要么超越于时间之外——我们称之为灵性，不可用时间量度，要么在时间之内，属于记忆与思想的范畴。除此之外，不可能是其他。
我们来探讨一下，那个“我”是否超越了时间的量度。希望你明白我的意思，让我们来探索一下，那个“我”在本质上是否属灵。我们所说的“灵性”，是指某种不能被约束的存在，不是人的思维的投射，不在人的思想的范畴内，永远不会消亡。当我们说灵性体时，显然我们是指某种超出心智范畴的东西。那么，那个“我”是这样的灵性体吗？如果是，则它一定超越一切时间，所以他不能重生，不能或延续不断……凡是在时间里延续不断的东西，都不能重生。只要人的思想通过记忆，通过欲望，通过经验而延续不断，则思想就不能自新。所以，凡是在时间里延续的东西，都不能见实相。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365静心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
注：属灵，《圣经》术语。实相，佛学术语。
What Is Reincarnation?
Let us find out what you mean by reincarnation—the truth of it, not what you like to believe, not what someone has told you, or what your teacher has said.
Surely, it is the truth that liberates, not your own conclusion, your own opinion…. When you say, “I shall be reborn,” you must know what the “I” is…. Is the “I” a spiritual entity, is the “I” something continuous, is the “I” something independent of memory, experience, knowledge? Either the “I” is a spiritual entity or it is merely a thought process. Either it is something out of time, which we call spiritual, not measurable in terms of time, or it is within the field of time, the field of memory, thought. It cannot be something else.
Let us find out if it is beyond the measurement of time. I hope you are following all this. Let us find out if the “I” is in essence something spiritual. Now by “spiritual” we mean, do we not, something not capable of being conditioned, something that is not the projection of the human mind, something that is not within the field of thought, something that does not die. When we talk of a spiritual entity, we mean by that something that is not within the field of the mind, obviously. Now, is the “I” such a spiritual entity? If it is a spiritual entity, it must be beyond all time; therefore, it cannot be reborn or continued…. That which has continuity can never renew itself. As long as thought continues through memory, through desire, through experience, it can never renew itself; therefore, that which is continued cannot know the real.
