夕陽(yáng)西下键菱,美麗輝煌,樹(shù)影婆娑今布,珊珊可愛(ài)经备,寬闊的河流轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)一道彎,又流向遠(yuǎn)方……你為之心曠神怡部默;或者侵蒙,你看到一張美麗的面龐,你凝視著傅蹂,心里生出巨大的快感纷闺。
這有什么不對(duì)嗎?在我看來(lái)份蝴,一旦美顏犁功、河流、白云婚夫、山麓沉淀為記憶浸卦,而你又渴望記憶中的快感能夠更強(qiáng)烈、更長(zhǎng)久案糙,那么這就是困惑與煩惱之始限嫌,因?yàn)槲覀兛傁胫貜?fù)這樣的快感靴庆。其實(shí),我們對(duì)此心下明了萤皂,我曾有某種快感撒穷,你對(duì)某物總有愉悅感,我們總想重復(fù)裆熙,不論那快感是兩性的端礼、藝術(shù)的、智力的入录,或特點(diǎn)迥異的其他快感蛤奥,我們都想重復(fù)。我認(rèn)為僚稿,就在這重復(fù)欲中凡桥,快感開(kāi)始讓心靈黯無(wú)生機(jī),并造作出虛幻不實(shí)的價(jià)值觀蚀同。
重要的是明白快感缅刽,而不是試圖擺脫快感——那是愚蠢的,沒(méi)人能擺脫快感蠢络。至關(guān)重要的衰猛,是參破快感的本質(zhì)與結(jié)構(gòu),因?yàn)槿绻钪皇强旄蟹仁。绻廊藟?mèng)寐以求的只是快感髓霞,那么與快感形影不離的,則是煩惱方库、困惑、幻相和虛偽的價(jià)值觀——這些都是我們?cè)熳鞒鰜?lái)的笼痹,這樣的心靈酪穿,是黯淡無(wú)明的。
——克里希那穆提《生命書(shū):365觀心日課》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
Why Shouldn’t One Have Pleasure?
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.
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.
