你問:愛,而不訴諸思維,這是否可能?
你所謂的思維,是指什么?思維,是對苦樂雜陳的記憶所做的回應(yīng);記憶,是未圓滿的體驗所遺留的沉淀;如果沒有這些記憶沉淀,就不會有思維。愛,與情緒和感受不同;愛,不能進(jìn)入思維的領(lǐng)地,而感受與情緒卻在思維領(lǐng)地里泛濫。愛,是無煙的純凈火焰,永遠(yuǎn)充滿生機(jī),充滿創(chuàng)造,充滿喜悅。但這樣的愛,對于社會和關(guān)系是危險的,所以思維才闖入進(jìn)來,對愛進(jìn)行改造、導(dǎo)引、修正,濾掉危險,然后與愛同行。你知道嗎?當(dāng)你愛一個人時,你愛他的全部。你知道愛一個人是何等危險?沒有藩籬,不分民族,不求權(quán)位,一切呈現(xiàn)其本色價值。這樣的人,對于社會是危險分子。
為了讓愛呈現(xiàn),我們必須讓記憶止息。只有那些未被徹底、完整領(lǐng)會的體驗,才會沉淀為記憶,所以,記憶是經(jīng)驗的殘渣,是沒有徹悟挑戰(zhàn),所衍生的果。而生活就是面對挑戰(zhàn)并作出回應(yīng)的過程,挑戰(zhàn)常新,但回應(yīng)常舊,因為凡有回應(yīng),皆出自內(nèi)心的約束,都是過去的產(chǎn)物,所以對內(nèi)心的各種回應(yīng),我們必須心領(lǐng)神會,而不是克制、譴責(zé)。這意味著,在每一天,全新、圓滿、完整地生活。唯有心里有愛,唯有心靈圓滿,不執(zhí)著于名相和思維造作,才能過上完滿的生活。唯有愛心處,記憶才能止息,此時一動一靜,皆是新生。

Memory Negates Love
Is it possible to love without thinking?
What do you mean by thinking? Thinking is a response to memories of pain or pleasure. There is no thinking without the residue which incomplete experience leaves. Love is different from emotion and feeling. Love cannot be brought into the field of thought; whereas feeling and emotion can be brought. Love is a flame without smoke, ever fresh, creative, joyous. Such love is dangerous to society, to relationship. So, thought steps in, modifies, guides it, legalizes it, puts it out of danger; then one can live with it. Do you not know that when you love someone, you love the whole of mankind? Do you not know how dangerous it is to love man? Then, there is no barrier, no nationality; then, there is no craving for power and position, and things assume their values. Such a man is a danger to society.
For the being of love, the process of memory must come to an end. Memory comes into being only when experience is not fully, completely understood. Memory is only the residue of experience; it is the result of a challenge which is not fully comprehended. Life is a process of challenge and response. Challenge is always new but the response is ever old. This response, which is conditioning, which is the result of the past, must be understood and not disciplined or condemned away. It means living each day anew, fully and completely. This complete living is possible only when there is love, when your heart is full, not with the words nor with the things made by the mind. Only where there is love, memory ceases; then every movement is a rebirth.
