你让我向你保证:你会有来世生命。但来世并没有幸福或智慧,通过转世来寻找永生,本质上是一种自恋,因而是虚假不实的。
为了抗拒生活,抗拒智慧,你内心建立起各种自我防卫的反应模式,你不想放下这些自卫模式,而且企图让这些模式延续不断。而你寻求永生,只不过是将该欲望改头换面罢了。这种对来世的渴望,只会把你引向虚幻。
所以,要紧的并不是你是否有来世,而是要明白:你要在当下获得全然的圆满。唯有头脑与内心不再自我保护,不再抗拒生活时,你才能取得圆满。人的头脑狡黠而细密,精于自我保护,你必须要认清自我保护的虚幻本性。这意味着,你的思维与行动必须保持全新常新。大环境为你强加了错误的价值体系,你必须从中解脱出来。你必须放下,然后全然地袒露心灵,然后才有实相,有永生。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365静心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
Reincarnation Is Essentially Egotistic
You want me to give you an assurance that you will live another life, but in that there is no happiness or wisdom. The search for immortality through reincarnation is essentially egotistic, and therefore not true.
Your search for immortality is only another form of the desire for the continuance of self-defensive reactions against life and intelligence. Such a craving can only lead to illusion.
So what matters is not whether there is reincarnation, but to realize complete fulfillment in the present. And you can do that only when your mind and heart are no longer protecting themselves against life. The mind is cunning and subtle in its self-defense, and it must discern for itself the illusory nature of self-protection. This means that you must think and act completely anew. You must liberate yourself from the net of false values that environment has imposed upon you. There must be utter nakedness. Then there is immortality, reality.
