《生命之书》
—The life of book—
我想使人自由,像晴空中的小鸟一样欢欣,在那自由中轻松、独立、欣喜。
——克里希那穆提[印度]
为什么一个人不应该拥有快乐?
Why shouldn’t one have pleasure?
4月5日
你看到一场美丽的日落,一棵可爱的树,一条宽阔、蜿蜒流淌的河流,或一张漂亮的脸庞,看到它令人感到巨大的快乐、欣喜。那有什么问题吗?在我看来,混乱和痛苦的开始,是当那张脸、那条河流、那座山变成了记忆,然后这种记忆要求快乐延续下去——我们想要这些事情重复。我们都知道这种情况:我拥有了某种快乐,或者你在做某件事情的过程中得到了某种欣喜,然后我们就想要让它重复下去;无论那种事情是性方面的、艺术方面的、智力方面的,还是某种其他事情,我们都想让它重复。我认为这就是快乐开始让心智黑暗、制造虚假——非真实——价值的地方。
You see a beautiful sunset, a lovely tree, a river that has a wide, curving movement, or a beautiful face, and to look at it gives great pleasure, delight. What is wrong with that? It seems to me the confusion and the misery begin when that face, that river, that cloud, that mountain becomes a memory, and this memory then demands a greater continuity of pleasure; we want such things repeated. We all know this. I have had a certain pleasure, or you have had a certain delight in something, and we want it repeated. Whether it be sexual, artistic, intellectual, or something not quite of this character, we want it repeated—and I think that is where pleasure begins to darken the mind and create values which are false, not actual.
至关重要的是了解快乐,而不是努力去摆脱它——那是非常愚蠢的。没有人能够摆脱快乐。了解快乐的本质和结构是必要的,因为如果生活只是快乐,并且如果那就是一个人想要的生活,那么伴随快乐而来的,就是我们制造的苦难、混乱、假象、错误的价值观,从而让清明不复存在。
What matters is to understand pleasure, not try to get rid of it—that is too stupid. Nobody can get rid of pleasure. But to understand the nature and the structure of pleasure is essential; because if life is only pleasure, and if that is what one wants, then with pleasure go the misery, the confusion, the illusions, the false values which we create, and therefore there is no clarity.
