为了理解影响力，理解经验、知识以及内在及外在动机的影响力，为了发现何为真理、何为谬误，为了在所谓的谬误中发现真理，我们需要拥有深刻的洞察力，需要深刻领悟事物的本然。毫无疑问，这整个过程，就是冥想。冥想，是生命中、日常生活中最重要的事，正如生命中美也是必不可少。去觉知美，感受万物，感受万物的丑与美，这是生活中不可或缺的事。观赏树木的美丽倩影，仰望夜晚的美丽星空，远眺远方的地平线上彤云聚积，太阳西下。所有这些都是觉知美，都是领悟冥想之道，都是生活中必需的，因为这些都是生活，正如上班、争吵、痛苦、无尽的压力、焦虑、深深的恐惧、爱、饥饿……都是生活。
影响力、痛苦、日常压力、权威观点、政治活动，等等，所有这些都是生活，理解了生存的全部过程，使自己的心灵获得解脱，这就是冥想。如果你真正理解了生活，那么你就一直处于冥想状态中——你在时时静思生活的整体意义，而不是将思绪囿于某件事上。觉知了生存的整体过程，用心地观察，平静地进入生活中，并从中解脱出来，这就是冥想。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365静心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Meditation Is Essential to Life
To understand this whole problem of influence, the influence of experience, the influence of knowledge, of inward and outward motives—to find out what is true and what is false and to see the truth in the so-called false—all that requires tremendous insight, a deep inward comprehension of things as they are, does it not? This whole process is, surely, the way of meditation. Meditation is essential in life, in our everyday existence, as beauty is essential. The perception of beauty, the sensitivity to things, to the ugly as well as to the beautiful, is essential—to see a beautiful tree, a lovely sky of an evening, to see the vast horizon where the clouds are gathering as the sun is setting. All this is necessary, the perception of beauty and the understanding of the way of meditation, because all that is life, as is also your going to the office, the quarrels, miseries, the perpetual strain, anxiety, the deep fears, love, and starvation.
Now the understanding of this total process of existence—the influences, the sorrows, the daily strain, the authoritative outlook, the political actions, and so on—all this is life, and the process of understanding it all, and freeing the mind, is meditation. If one really comprehends this life then there is always a meditative process, always a process of contemplation—but not about something. To be aware of this whole process of existence, to observe it, to dispassionately enter into it, and to be free of it, is meditation.
