棄名絕利、守戒苦行汽煮，無關乎崇高搏熄，不值得贊揚與效仿。

我們總想占有暇赤，因為如果一無所有心例，我們就毫無存在感。占有欲有很多變種鞋囊，即便那些身無世俗財物的人止后，可能有的執(zhí)著于知識、理念溜腐，有的執(zhí)著于品德译株，有的執(zhí)著于經驗，有的執(zhí)著于聲名挺益，不一而足歉糜。如果一無所有，“自我”就不復存在望众；所謂“自我”匪补，就是財產、家業(yè)黍檩、品德、名譽始锚。因為擔心沒有存在感刽酱，我們才執(zhí)著于名聲、家業(yè)瞧捌、價值棵里；之所以想放下這些，是想超越到更高層面姐呐，追逐更令人滿足殿怜、更加持久的存在感。因為恐懼未來不確定曙砂，恐懼失去存在感头谜，所以產生了執(zhí)著心和占有欲。當所占有的東西不再產生滿足感甚至令人痛苦時鸠澈，我們便會放棄柱告，繼而執(zhí)著于更悅人的東西截驮。最能滿足人心的終極之物是“神”這個名相，或神的替代品——國家际度。

只要你不甘心放空存在感葵袭，則必然陷入痛苦與對立——其實你即是空。甘愿棲心于空乖菱，并不是棄絕名利坡锡、礪志苦行，而是看清世界的如是真相窒所。當我們看清真相鹉勒，就能夠從恐懼感中獲得解脫；正是這恐懼感墩新，滋生了執(zhí)著心贸弥，進而編織出去執(zhí)、出世的幻相海渊。其實绵疲，熱愛真實，才是智慧的肇始臣疑；唯心里有愛盔憨，才能有心靈的共享與交融，而棄名絕利讯沈、守戒苦行郁岩，則是一條孤絕與虛幻之路。

——克里希那穆提《生命書：365靜心日課》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）

The “Me” Is the Possession

Renunciation, self-sacrifice, is not a gesture of greatness, to be praised and copied.

We possess because without possession we are not. Possessions are many and varied. One who possesses no worldly things may be attached to knowledge, to ideas; another may be attached to virtue, another to experience, another to name and fame, and so on. Without possessions, the “me” is not; the “me” is the possession, the furniture, the virtue, the name. In its fear of not being, the mind is attached to name, to furniture, to value; and it will drop these in order to be at a higher level, the higher being the more gratifying, the more permanent. The fear of uncertainty, of not being, makes for attachment, for possession. When the possession is unsatisfactory or painful, we renounce it for a more pleasurable attachment. The ultimate gratifying possession is the word God, or its substitute, the State.

… So long as you are unwilling to be nothing, which in fact you are, you must inevitably breed sorrow and antagonism. The willingness to be nothing is not a matter of renunciation, of enforcement, inner or outer, but of seeing the truth of what is. Seeing the truth of what is brings freedom from the fear of insecurity, the fear which breeds attachment and leads to the illusion of detachment, renunciation. The love of what is is the beginning of wisdom. Love alone shares, it alone can commune; but renunciation and self-sacrifice are the ways of isolation and illusion.
