克里希那穆提《生命书》新译（9月23日）：心有挂碍

我们如同机器一般，墨守成规，日复一日，令人厌倦。我们急切地接纳某种生活模式，并执着固守。心，被理念所拘役，如同被紧紧钉住；心，总是围着理念转，从而维持存在感。所以，我们的心灵根本不自由、不柔韧，因为心总要锚定在理念上，并围绕这个中心，在或窄或宽的半径范围内活动，不敢远离圆心，否则就会迷失于恐惧之中。

所谓恐惧，并非恐惧未知，而是恐惧失去已知。未知，不会激发恐惧；但依赖已知，必引发恐惧。恐惧，总是伴随欲望而生——贪求好事多多、坏事少少。心不停地编织着各种模式，从而制造了心理时间；一旦有了心理时间，就产生了恐惧、希望与死亡。

——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）

The Anchored Mind

We carry on like machines with our tiresome daily routine. How eagerly the mind accepts a pattern of existence, and how tenaciously it clings to it! As by a driven nail, the mind is held together by idea, and around the idea it lives and has its being. The mind is never free, pliable, for it is always anchored; it moves within the radius, narrow or wide, of its own center. From its center it dare not wander; and when it does, it is lost in fear.

Fear is not of the unknown, but of the loss of the known. The unknown does not incite fear, but dependence on the known does. Fear is always with desire, the desire for the more or for the less. The mind, with its incessant weaving of patterns, is the maker of time; and with time there is fear, hope, and death.
