Question: What is the best way in which to maintain the attitude of awareness?

問：要保持覺察的態(tài)度，最好的方法是什么？

Krishnamurti: I am going on to that tomorrow or after tomorrow, or next week, more fully, but I will briefly explain.

克里希那穆提：關(guān)于這個問題，明天或者后天，或者下周，我會更加詳盡地討論，但是現(xiàn)在我先簡要解釋一下。

First of all, it is not a question of maintaining. Have you ever been in a room with a snake? Your attention, your whole intense concentration is maintained naturally through fear of being bitten. You don’t say, “How am I to maintain my attention?” Awareness is that approach to life with your whole mind and heart in perfect harmony. That only arises when there is a crisis that demands your instant attention, your whole interest.

首先，這不是一個保持的問題。你可曾與一條蛇共處一室？由于害怕被咬到，所以你自然保持全神貫注，保持高度的全然的關(guān)注。你不會說：“我要如何保持注意力？”覺察就是那樣一種生活態(tài)度，你的整個頭腦和內(nèi)心處于完美的和諧之中。當(dāng)危機(jī)出現(xiàn)，需要你即刻投入關(guān)注和全部注意力時，那種覺察才會出現(xiàn)。

Now, you are not interested in what I am talking about. Most people are not interested; that is why these questions arise. I know it by your faces and by the questions. If you are interested, intent to find out, not between the opposites, but the significance of things, only at that moment is there awareness. You will find out the answer immediately. I assure you it is awfully simple; don’t make this awareness so complicated. I have heard so many explanations of what to me is a very simple thing, and how complicated it is made year by year because your mind is so burdened with knowledge and you are only talking out of your knowledge, and applying that awareness to that knowledge.

而現(xiàn)在，你對我說的話不感興趣。大多數(shù)人都不感興趣；那就是這些問題會被提出的原因。從你們臉上的表情和這些問題，我得知了這一點。如果你感興趣，想要弄清楚，不是從對立面中尋找，而是弄清事情的意義，只有此刻，才會有覺察。你會立即發(fā)現(xiàn)答案。

I assure you it is awfully simple; don’t make this awareness so complicated. I have heard so many explanations of what to me is a very simple thing, and how complicated it is made year by year because your mind is so burdened with knowledge and you are only talking out of your knowledge, and applying that awareness to that knowledge.

我向你保證，這極其簡單；不要把覺察弄得太復(fù)雜。我聽說過太多的解釋，用來說明一些對我來說非常簡單的事情，這些解釋年復(fù)一年變得愈加復(fù)雜，因為你的頭腦是如此被知識所負(fù)累，你講話時只會從知識中提取內(nèi)容，并應(yīng)用那些知識去理解覺察。

Please forget everything that you have learned, read in books, and approach what I am saying very simply, freshly, frankly. Then you will see that it is utterly simple. There is awareness only when your whole being is awake and questioning—your whole being is mind as well as heart, not merely mind or merely heart—and when you approach everything in that way, then there is no problem or solution or ways of conquering or disciplining. Then you are acting from your whole being, spontaneously, naturally, without conflict, without effort.

請忘掉你學(xué)過的一切，你從書中讀到的一切，非常簡單地、清新地、坦誠地來看我說的話。然后你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)覺察極其簡單。只有當(dāng)你的整個存在——你的整個存在是頭腦以及內(nèi)心，而不僅僅是頭腦或者內(nèi)心——都清醒，都在質(zhì)詢，覺察才會出現(xiàn)，當(dāng)你用那樣的方式面對一切時，就不會再有問題或者解決辦法，也不會有戰(zhàn)勝或者修煉的方式。此時你是從你的整個生命出發(fā)，自發(fā)地、自然地行動，沒有任何沖突，也無需任何努力。
