你的心灵需要焕然一新，摆脱时间束缚，不再按照距离或空间来思维，不再有视野局限，不再驻留于精神寄托与归宿中。你需要这样的心灵，来应对旷日持久的人生课题，处理眼前的生活问题。
所以，问题在于，我们能不能人人拥有这样的心灵？不是逐渐培育，因为培育、成长、过程，都意味着时间。清新的心灵必须即时发生，当下转化，超越时间。新生即死亡——我执的死亡，“自我”之死时时等候你；虽然你能与生争执，却不能与死争辩。那么，你能不能拥有清新的心灵？不要把它当作一项成就、终点、目标去达成，因为那意味着时间与空间。有一个便捷而奢华的理论：我们需要时间，去进步，去抵达，去获得，去趋近真理。这是谬见，是十足的幻相。在这个意义上讲，时间就是幻相。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
A Mind Without Anchorage or Haven
You need a new mind, a mind that is free of time, a mind that no longer thinks in terms of distance or space, a mind that has no horizon, a mind that has no anchorage or haven. You need such a mind to deal not only with the everlasting, but also with the immediate problems of existence.
Therefore the issue is: Is it possible for each one of us to have such a mind? Not gradually, not to cultivate it, because cultivation, development, a process, implies time. It must take place immediately; there must be a transformation now, in the sense of a timeless quality. Life is death, and death is awaiting you; you cannot argue with death as you can argue with life. So is it possible to have such a mind?—not as an achievement, not as a goal, not as a thing to be aimed at, not as something to be arrived at, because all that implies time and space. We have a very convenient, luxurious theory that there is time to progress, to arrive, to achieve, to come near truth. That is a fallacious idea, it is an illusion completely—time is an illusion in that sense.
