克里希那穆提《生命书》新译（4月22日）：彻底放下

也许，你从未体验过完全撒手、彻底放下一切的心境。如果没有发自心灵深处的激情，你就难以放下一切；如果你运用理智或情感手段，来割舍一切，那是徒劳的。只有具备了勇猛的激情，你才能彻底放下。不要被“激情”这辞藻吓着，因为激情匮乏或不足的人，根本不能理解或感受美的品格。有的人总要抓紧点什么，以备不时之需，有的人坐拥既得利益，有的人执着于地位、权力、名誉，有的人备受尊敬，这些都是很可怕的，因为这样的心永远放不下自我。

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

Total Abandonment

Perhaps you have never experienced that state of mind in which there is total abandonment of everything, a complete letting go. And you cannot abandon everything without deep passion, can you? You cannot abandon everything intellectually or emotionally. There is total abandonment, surely, only when there is intense passion. Don’t be alarmed by that word, because a man who is not passionate, who is not intense, can never understand or feel the quality of beauty. The mind that holds something in reserve, the mind that has a vested interest, the mind that clings to position, power, prestige, the mind that is respectable, which is a horror—such a mind can never abandon itself.
