你信教、信神，这是逃避现实，根本不是虔诚。富人通过残酷、欺诈、狡黠榨取而积累财富，他却信神；你也信神，你也狡黠、残忍、多疑、嫉妒。难道欺诈、谎言与诡计能让你发现神吗？你收藏了各种神圣经卷、各种神的标志，难道这能说明你是个虔诚求道者吗？
所以，虔诚道心，不是逃避现实，而是在日常关系中理解你身边的事实；虔诚道心，就是你的言谈举止，就是你说话的方式，就是你对待佣人、太太、孩子与邻居的方式。只要你还没理解与邻居、社会、太太、孩子的关系，就必然有困惑。只要心有困惑，则无论干什么，只会制造更多的困惑、问题与冲突。心若总逃避事实，逃避关系中的真相，就永远不能发现神性；心若总被信仰所鼓动，就永远不能觉悟真理。但如果理解了与财产、人、理念的关系，那么心就不会再沉沦于关系中的问题，苦苦挣扎，此时应对问题的策略也不再是逃避，而是充满爱心，去理解问题的真相——唯有这样，心才能觉悟实相。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365静心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Agitated by Belief
So, your religion, your belief in God, is an escape from actuality, and therefore it is no religion at all. The rich man who accumulates money through cruelty, through dishonesty, through cunning exploitation believes in God; and you also believe in God, you also are cunning, cruel, suspicious, envious. Is God to be found through dishonesty, through deceit, through cunning tricks of the mind? Because you collect all the sacred books and the various symbols of God, does that indicate that you are a religious person?
So, religion is not escape from the fact; religion is the understanding of the fact of what you are in your everyday relationships; religion is the manner of your speech, the way you talk, the way you address your servants, the way you treat your wife, your children, and neighbors. As long as you do not understand your relationship with your neighbor, with society, with your wife and children, there must be confusion; and whatever it does, the mind that is confused will only create more confusion, more problems and conflict. A mind that escapes from the actual, from the facts of relationship, shall never find God; a mind that is agitated by belief shall not know truth. But the mind that understands its relationship with property, with people, with ideas, the mind which no longer struggles with the problems which relationship creates, and for which the solution is not withdrawal but the understanding of love—such a mind alone can understand reality.
