追逐权力、职位、权威、雄心等等，都是我执的表现形式。重要的是参破我执心，显然你我对此已确信无疑。如果我能多说几句，让我们认真对待此事吧。如果你我作为个体，能够看破我执，并贯穿于生活的言行中，那么必会产生真正的变革。但你我不能沉迷于群体，因为群体隶属于特定阶层、社会和地域的分野中，一旦群体组织得有条不紊、遍行于世间，则我执心就会逃避于群体内，乐不思蜀。但，如果你我能在各自的日常生活中看破我执心，焕发出无我的爱心，那么本质性的变革就会产生……
你可知道，我所说的自我、我执是指什么？所谓我执，就是你的见解、记忆、定论、经验、各种有名无名的意图心、意识里的刻意追求或抗拒、潜意识里的记忆沉淀、种族、群体、个体、族群，以及这一切的总和；也不论向外投射为你的言行，或向内投射为你的品德。对这一切孜孜以求而不懈怠，这就是我执，竞争欲、成功欲也包括在我执之中。
上述这一切，就是我执。其实我们明白，当我们面对我执时，是把它视为“恶”，我故意使用了“恶”这个字眼，因为我执心总是把整体切分为碎片，我执心是自封闭的，我执的各种活动无论看起来多高尚，都是与整体的隔离与孤绝。其实我们对此都很清楚，此外我们还明白，真正非凡的奇迹，发生在我执心止息的时刻，此时一切顺其自然，无需刻意用力。这一时刻，唯有心有仁爱时才能来临。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365静心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
What Is the Self?
The search for power, position, authority, ambition, and all the rest are the forms of the self in all its different ways. But what is important is to understand the self and I am sure you and I are convinced of it. If I may add here, let us be earnest about this matter; because I feel that if you and I as individuals, not as a group of people belonging to certain classes, certain societies, certain climatic divisions, can understand this and act upon this, then I think there will be real revolution. The moment it becomes universal and better organized, the self takes shelter in that; whereas, if you and I as individuals can love, can carry this out actually in everyday life, then the revolution that is so essential will come into being ….
You know what I mean by the self? By that, I mean the idea, the memory, the conclusion, the experience, the various forms of namable and unnamable intentions, the conscious endeavor to be or not to be, the accumulated memory of the unconscious, the racial, the group, the individual, the clan, and the whole of it all, whether it is projected outwardly in action, or projected spiritually as virtue; the striving after all this is the self. In it is included the competition, the desire to be.
The whole process of that is the self; and we know actually when we are faced with it, that it is an evil thing. I am using the word evil intentionally, because the self is dividing; the self is self-enclosing; its activities, however noble, are separated and isolated. We know all this. We also know that extraordinary are the moments when the self is not there, in which there is no sense of endeavor, of effort, and which happens when there is love.
