我很懷疑是否存在所謂的惡。請(qǐng)專注心神,隨我一同深入?yún)⑽颉?/p>
我們說,世間有善惡,比如嫉妒與愛,其中嫉妒為惡,愛為善。為什么我們要把生活切分為善與惡,從而制造二元沖突呢?我并不是說,人心沒有嫉妒、憎恨、殘忍、不慈悲、缺乏愛,而是說,為什么我們要把生活分割為善與惡呢?實(shí)際上,我們不是只有一顆昏沉不覺的心嗎?如果我們具有全然覺照力,換言之,當(dāng)此心全然覺知、敏銳、明察秋毫,就不再有所謂善或惡,唯有一片覺然澄明。善,不再是一種品德,不是美德,而是一種愛的境界。當(dāng)我們心里有愛,就無善無惡,天地間唯有愛。當(dāng)你真心愛一個(gè)人,你不思善、不思惡,你的整個(gè)生命都洋溢著愛。只有不再全然覺照,愛心停滯時(shí),才會(huì)產(chǎn)生我的真實(shí)面目與理想面目的沖突:我的真實(shí)面目是丑惡的,而我所追逐理想面目就成了所謂善。
當(dāng)覺察自心,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),一旦你不再苦思冥想變成那理想面目,則追逐行動(dòng)舊停止了,但這并非內(nèi)心滯礙,反而是全然覺照的狀態(tài)——斯為真善。
——克里希那穆提《生命書:365觀心日課》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
譯按:
1、what I am或what is,即當(dāng)下的真實(shí)樣貌、實(shí)然、現(xiàn)實(shí)。what I should be或what should be,即我所期待的未來面目、應(yīng)然、理想。
實(shí)然、應(yīng)然,是借用法學(xué)術(shù)語。
2、理想、應(yīng)然是出于對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)真實(shí)面目的不滿與對(duì)治。當(dāng)我們把希望投射于未來的理想時(shí),本質(zhì)上是對(duì)當(dāng)下現(xiàn)實(shí)的逃避與掩飾,于是陷入了現(xiàn)狀與理想、當(dāng)下與未來、實(shí)然與應(yīng)然之間的二元撕裂狀態(tài)。對(duì)理想的追逐越熱切,這種二元撕裂就越強(qiáng)烈;越凸顯理想的價(jià)值,?反而越強(qiáng)化當(dāng)下的真實(shí)面目,不得解脫。……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.
