大家都明白，我们的心灵是被桎梏的。有些人认为这是在所难免的，如果你也这么认为，那也无妨，你已安于做奴隶，到此为止了。但如果你扪心自问：“究竟能不能突破这道限制、桎梏？”问题就来了，你必须参悟思维的全过程。如果你只是宣称：“我要看清心灵枷锁！我要思考、分析、弄懂并砸碎枷锁！”那么你只是在施展暴力，因为思考、分析依旧是你既往背景的产物，显然你无法运用思维砸碎心灵枷锁，因为思维只是那枷锁的一环。
我们要先看清问题，而不是追问答案和对策。事实上，我们的心灵饱受桎梏，为了明白究竟，我们苦思冥想，但一切思维都是片面的，从无整体领悟。只有整体上理解了思维的全过程，我们才能获得心灵的解脱。困难在于，我们总是运转于心智领域，心智是思维的工具——无论理性思维，或非理性思维，而正如我们所见，思维总是片面的。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
All Thought Is Partial
You and I realize that we are conditioned. If you say, as some people do, that conditioning is inevitable, then there is no problem; you are a slave, and that is the end of it. But if you begin to ask yourself whether it is at all possible to break down this limitation, this conditioning, then there is a problem; so you will have to inquire into the whole process of thinking, will you not? If you merely say, “I must be aware of my conditioning, I must think about it, analyze it in order to understand and destroy it,” then you are exercising force. Your thinking, your analyzing is still the result of your background, so through your thought you obviously cannot break down the conditioning of which it is a part.
Just see the problem first, don’t ask what is the answer, the solution. The fact is that we are conditioned, and that all thought to understand this conditioning will always be partial; therefore there is never a total comprehension, and only in total comprehension of the whole process of thinking is there freedom. The difficulty is that we are always functioning within the field of the mind, which is the instrument of thought, reasonable or unreasonable; and as we have seen, thought is always partial.
