情绪是怎样产生的？很简单，情绪是通过刺激和神经传导而产生的。你用针扎我，我跳了起来；你奉承我，我心里痛快；你侮辱我，我心生厌恶。通过感官觉受，情绪形成了。显然，多数人行走于世间，是为了追求快乐。你喜欢被人认作印度教徒，这样你就能归属于一个团体、社群，归依于传统——哪怕已陈腐不堪；你热爱印度教以及《奥义书》《薄伽梵歌》与令人高山仰止的古老传统。同样，穆斯林也热爱他们的传统，云云。所以，我们的情绪是通过刺激、通过环境等因素而产生的，这是显而易见的。
那么在生活中，情绪扮演着什么角色？情绪就是生活吗？你明白我的意思吗？快乐是爱吗？欲望是爱吗？如果情绪就是爱，那么爱中就包含了某种一直变幻的东西，对吧？你明白了吧？
所以，你必须明白，情绪、情感、热情、快乐感受等等，与真爱、慈悲是风牛马不相及的。所有情感、情绪，都是出于思维造作，进而为你带来快乐和痛苦。而真爱中没有痛苦，没有悲情，因为爱不是快乐或欲望的产物。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
What Role Has Emotion in Life?
How do emotions come into being? Very simple. They come into being through stimuli, through the nerves. You put a pin into me, I jump; you flatter me and I am delighted; you insult me and I don’t like it. Through our senses emotions come into being. And most of us function through our emotion of pleasure; obviously, sir. You like to be recognized as a Hindu. Then you belong to a group, to a community, to a tradition, however old; and you like that, with the Gita, the Upanishads and the old traditions mountain high. And the Muslim likes his and so on. Our emotions have come into being through stimuli, through environment, and so on. It is fairly obvious.
What role has emotion in life? Is emotion life? You understand? Is pleasure love? Is desire love? If emotion is love, there is something that changes all the time. Right? Don’t you know all that?
… So one has to realize that emotions, sentiment, enthusiasm, the feeling of being good, and all that, have nothing whatsoever to do with real affection, compassion. All sentiment, emotions, have to do with thought and therefore lead to pleasure and pain. Love has no pain, no sorrow, because it is not the outcome of pleasure or desire.
