Learning Has No Past

来源：https://krishnamurti-teachings.info

Wisdom is something that has to be discovered by each one, and it is not the result of knowledge.

Knowledge and wisdom do not go together.

Wisdom comes when there is the maturity of self-knowing.

Without knowing oneself, order is not possible, and therefore there is no virtue.

Now, learning about oneself, and accumulating knowledge about oneself, are two different things...

A mind that is acquiring knowledge is never learing.

What it is doing is this: it is gathering to itself information, experience as knowledge,

and from the background of what it has gathered, it experiences, it learns;

and therefore it is never really learning, but always knowing, acquiring.

Learning is always in the active present; it has no past.

The moment you say to yourself, "I have learned,"

it has already become knowledge, and from the background of that knowledge you can accumulate, translate, but you cannot further learn.

It is only a mind that is not acquiring, but always learning —it is only such a mind that can understand this whole entity that we call the "me," the self.

I have to know myself, the structure, the nature, the significance of the total entity.

but I can't do that burdened with my previous knowledge, with my previous experience, or with a mind that is conditioned,

for then I am not learning, I am merely interpreting, translating, looking with an eye that is already clouded by the past.

官方翻译

智慧是每个人都要去发现的东西，它不是知识的结晶。

知识和智慧并不一致。

智慧会在你自我认知达到成熟时出现。

如果不自知，就不可能有秩序，因而也没有美德。

现在，了解自己，和积累关于自己的知识，是两件不同的事。

需要获得知识的大脑从来不在学习。

它所做的是：把东西搜集到它的信息和经验性的知识中，

在搜集的背景下经历事物，同样也在学习；

因此它不必真地学习，但总是在知晓，在获取。

学习总是在活跃的现在；没有过去。

当你对自己说，“我学了”的时候，

它已经变成了知识，而从这个知识背景中，你可以积累、转化，但你不能进一步学习。

只有一颗不求得到，但总是学习的心——只有这样的想法才能理解我们称之为“我”的独立存在体，我本身。

我必须了解自己，了解整个存在体的构造、本质和意义；

但我不能负荷着以往的知识、经验以及调整好的思维，

那样一来我就不是在学习，我只是在解释、翻译，用一只已被过去蒙上一层雾的眼睛在观察。
