空是什么？其实你懂得。这个屋子里有空间，这里与你住的旅店之间，这座桥与你家之间，河流的此岸与彼岸之间，都存在着距离——所有的这一切，都是空。
那么，你的心，是虚空的吗？还是完全堵塞，无丝缕的空？如果你内心空灵，那么在那空中，蕴含着静；从静中，万物得以呈现，然后你才能聆听，觉照万物，而心无抗拒。因此，保持内心虚空，是至为重要的。如果你不壅塞自心，不去无休止地充填自心，你就能聆听狗吠，聆听远处火车过桥的声响，也能全然觉知倾诉者的真意。此时，你的心是鲜活的，而非呆滞的。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Attention Without Resistance
You know what space is. There is space in this room. The distance between here and your hostel, between the bridge and your home, between this bank of the river and the other—all that is space.
Now, is there also space in your mind? Or is it so crowded that there is no space in it at all? If your mind has space, then in that space there is silence—and from that silence everything else comes, for then you can listen, you can pay attention without resistance. That is why it is very important to have space in the mind. If the mind is not overcrowded, not ceaselessly occupied, then it can listen to that dog barking, to the sound of a train crossing the distant bridge, and also be fully aware of what is being said by a person talking here. Then the mind is a living thing, it is not dead.
