我很怀疑是否存在所谓的恶。请专注心神,随我一同深入参悟。
我们说,世间有善恶,比如嫉妒与爱,其中嫉妒为恶,爱为善。为什么我们要把生活切分为善与恶,从而制造二元冲突呢?我并不是说,人心没有嫉妒、憎恨、残忍、不慈悲、缺乏爱,而是说,为什么我们要把生活分割为善与恶呢?实际上,我们不是只有一颗昏沉不觉的心吗?如果我们具有全然觉照力,换言之,当此心全然觉知、敏锐、明察秋毫,就不再有所谓善或恶,唯有一片觉然澄明。善,不再是一种品德,不是美德,而是一种爱的境界。当我们心里有爱,就无善无恶,天地间唯有爱。当你真心爱一个人,你不思善、不思恶,你的整个生命都洋溢着爱。只有不再全然觉照,爱心停滞时,才会产生我的真实面目与理想面目的冲突:我的真实面目是丑恶的,而我所追逐理想面目就成了所谓善。
当觉察自心,你会发现,一旦你不再苦思冥想变成那理想面目,则追逐行动旧停止了,但这并非内心滞碍,反而是全然觉照的状态——斯为真善。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
译按:
1、what I am或what is,即当下的真实样貌、实然、现实。what I should be或what should be,即我所期待的未来面目、应然、理想。
实然、应然,是借用法学术语。
2、理想、应然是出于对现实真实面目的不满与对治。当我们把希望投射于未来的理想时,本质上是对当下现实的逃避与掩饰,于是陷入了现状与理想、当下与未来、实然与应然之间的二元撕裂状态。对理想的追逐越热切,这种二元撕裂就越强烈;越凸显理想的价值,️反而越强化当下的真实面目,不得解脱。……此中有真意,欲辨已忘言。
Conflict of the Opposites
I wonder if there is such a thing as evil? Please give your attention, go with me, let us inquire together.
We say there is good and evil. There is envy and love, and we say that envy is evil and love is good. Why do we divide life, calling this good and that bad, thereby creating the conflict of the opposites? Not that there is not envy, hate, brutality in the human mind and heart, an absence of compassion, love, but why do we divide life into the thing called good and the thing called evil? Is there not actually only one thing, which is a mind that is inattentive? Surely, when there is complete attention, that is, when the mind is totally aware, alert, watchful, there is no such thing as evil or good; there is only an awakened state. Goodness then is not a quality, not a virtue, it is a state of love. When there is love, there is neither good nor bad, there is only love. When you really love somebody, you are not thinking of good or bad, your whole being is filled with that love. It is only when there is the cessation of complete attention, of love, that there comes the conflict between what I am and what I should be. Then that which I am is evil, and that which I should be is the so-called good.
… You watch your own mind and you will see that the moment the mind ceases to think in terms of becoming something, there is a cessation of action which is not stagnation; it is a state of total attention, which is goodness.
