你渴望解脱心灵的桎梏,但这强烈欲望不是又开启了另一种抗拒与桎梏的模式吗?
你已经看清自己的成长模式、套路,你渴望解脱,但这种解脱的欲望,不是又以另一种方式束缚心灵吗?旧模式要求你恪守权威,现在你又发展出一套新模式,要求你不得恪守;此时你拥有了两套模式,彼此冲突。只要有这种内在矛盾冲突,就会产生更多的桎梏。
所以,你内心有一股威逼你墨守的冲动,同时又有一股解脱的冲动。这两股冲动看起来不论有多么不同,而在本质上不是很相似吗?如果二者本质相似,那么你追求自由解脱就是徒劳,因为你只能在两种模式之间来回摆荡,永无止息。所以,凡桎梏,无高贵或优越可言,我们必须明白欲望的这一本质。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
There Is No Noble or Better Conditioning
Does not the urge of the mind to free itself from its conditioning set going another pattern of resistance and conditioning?
Having become aware of the pattern or mold in which you have grown up, you want to be free from it; but will not this desire to be free condition the mind again in a different manner? The old pattern insists that you conform to authority, and now you are developing a new one which maintains that you must not conform; so you have two patterns, one in conflict with the other. As long as there is this inner contradiction, further conditioning takes place.
… There is the urge that makes for conformity, and the urge to be free. However dissimilar these two urges may seem to be, are they not fundamentally similar? And if they are fundamentally similar, then your pursuit of freedom is vain, for you will only move from one pattern to another, endlessly. There is no noble or better conditioning, and it is this desire that has to be understood.
