《克里希那穆提传》一段震慑我的演说

这绝对是一个值得我们深入了解的人（我无法把他分类成什么人或职业）。我心中有很多想法但是我不会写下来，我认为每个人应该有自己的解读方式。这是他在解散世界明星社发表的演说，而他本身就是当时的社长。


摘录自《克里希那穆提传》，作者：普普尔贾亚卡尔。胡茵梦 翻译。


A person really worth us to read. I have many thoughts after i read his speech but i won't write any of my thought, everyone should have their own way to understand and read it. This speech was given when he dissolved the Order of Star.
Note: The English version will be after Chinese version. 


 “我主张真理是无路可寻的。你不能透过任何宗教或法门而达到它。我绝对坚持这个观点。既然真理是无限的，没有任何束缚而又无路可寻，当然也就不需要人为组织了。没有任何组织有权利强迫人们专走特定的一条路。如果你了解了这点，你就会发现信仰根本无法组织化。信仰纯属个人之事，你不能也不应该使它组织化，如果你这么做，真理就变成了僵死的教条，同时也变成那些懦弱的人和暂时无法得到满足的人的玩物。真理无法屈就于人，人必须通过努力来亲近它。高山无法自动移到你的脚前，你必须不畏艰险地穿过山谷，攀过悬崖峭壁，才能到达山顶。我不愿意属于任何宗教组织，请你们务必谅解这点。再一次地，我坚持主张没有任何宗教组织能引领人们见到真理，如果为了这个目的而成立人为组织，必定造成人们的依赖、软弱和束缚，既阻碍他们的成长，也是他们残缺不全。个人的特色一被抹杀，便无法见到那无限的真理了，这就是为什么我身为社长却又解散它的原因。我这么做完全是自动自发的，没有受到任何人的影响。

”世界导师重现这件事没什么了不得，所以我不需要任何追随者。一旦追随某个人，你就不再追随真理。我不管你们有没有听懂我的话，我既然要在世上完成一件事，就要毫不动摇地贯彻到底。我真正关心的只有一件事，那就是如何使人类得到解脱。我要把他们从所有牢笼和恐惧之中解放出来，因此不再建立任何新的宗教、教会、理论或新的哲学。你们可能会问我，既然如此为什么还要在世界巡回演说，让我告诉你为什么：因为我不想要任何追随者，任何与众不同的门徒。人类是多么喜爱与众不同啊！他们竭尽所能标新立异，我绝不鼓励这种可笑的行为，无论在天上或地上我都没有门徒。“

”有一位新闻记者访问我的时候对我说，他认为能把一个拥有数千名会员的组织解散，是一个了不得的举动，他说，“解散以后你要怎么办，怎么谋生？那时将不再有人听你演讲，或追随你了。”我告诉他，只要这个世界有五个人听进去我的话，而且彻底照着我的话去生活，也就绰绰有余了。“

”如同我曾经说过的，我只有一个目的，那就是使人类都能得到解脱，帮助他们挣脱所有的局限，只有这样他们才能得到永恒的快乐，证悟自性。“

因为我已经脱离束缚，完整地获得自由，因此我希望那些想了解我的人也能获得自由，而不是追随我，把我关在笼子里，变成一个新的教主。他们应该解脱所有的恐惧，包括宗教的恐惧、赎罪的恐惧、得不到爱的恐惧、死亡的恐惧以及存在的恐惧。画家画画是因为他喜欢做这件事，在这件事中他表达了自己的荣耀与幸福，我做这件事也是如此，并不是因为我想从别人身上获取什么。

”你们已经习惯听从权威的话，你们以为依赖某个权威，就能得到心灵的解脱，你们希望靠另外一个人的神力帮你们得到永恒的快乐，因此你们所有的人生观都奠基在这个权威上。“

”你们听我演说已经有三年，除了极少数的人之外，都没有什么改变。你们现在听我说话，不要只是一味接受，必须分析清楚之后，才能完全了解我的意思。你们一旦臣服于某个权威，一定想在这个权威之上建立一个组织，于是就落在牢笼中了。“

”你们所有人都想依赖别人获得快乐，获得最终的解脱。你们已经等了我十八年，我现在终于有机会告诉你们必须把权威放在一边，向你们的内心观照，才能获得证悟、光荣和纯净，你们却没有任何一个人愿意听我的话。也许极少数一两个人听进去了。“

”因此，我们为什么要成立宗教组织？“
”为什么要让那些伪善的人追随我这个权威的假象？这句话没有任何恶意，只因为我们已经到达一个必须面对事实的瓶颈。去年我曾经说过我绝不妥协，当时很少有人听进去我的话。而今年我已经把话说得非常清楚了。世界明星社在这个世界上拥有无数的会员，他们准备听我的教诲已经有十八年了，而他们现在却丝毫不愿意听我的话。

”因此，我们为什么要成立宗教组织？“
”我已经说过，我的目的就是要帮助人类获得彻底的解脱。只有当人们获得理性与爱之间的和谐，才能获得不朽的永恒。绝对真理就是生命本身，我要每一个人都像晴空中的飞鸟一样快乐，无拘无束，独立自主，充满着自由的至乐。你们已经等了我十八年，我现在告诉你们，你们必须从纠结不清的烦恼中解脱，要做到这点并不需要宗教组织。这个世界上可能只有五个到十个人能真正了解我的话，而且能够把不重要的琐事放下，专心在灵性上精进。至于那些懦弱的人，没有任何宗教组织能帮他们找到真理，因为真理不近不远，就在每一个人的心中。
“你们要打字的时候，便使用打字机，你们绝对不会在这个时候把打字机供在神坛上，当是当你们一心想成立宗教组织时，你们却这么做。所有的新闻记者问我的第一问题都是：你有多少追随者？人们都从信徒的多寡来判断这个权威是真是假。我告诉他们我不知道我有多少追随者，我也不在乎这一点，即使只有一个人得到解脱，也就足够了。你们总以为只有少数人握有通往至乐的钥匙，其实那个钥匙就是你自己。在你净化自己的当下那一刻，你已经身处彼岸了。你将会发现，依赖别人带给你快乐、安慰和力量，是多么荒谬的事。”

”因此，我们为什么要成立宗教组织？“
“你们一直习惯让别人来验证你们修得的果位，这真是幼稚极了，你的内心美丑与否，只有你自己知道，除了你之外，怎么可能有别人知道你内心的真相，你们对这类事太不严肃了。

”因此，我们为什么要成立宗教组织？“
”但是那些一心想了解、想探索无始无终永恒的人，就会真的手携手勇猛精进，他们也必定会激励那些生活在幻像中的人。他们将全神贯注燃烧出灿烂的火焰，因为他们已经有了领悟。这样的团体才是我们要创造的，只有在如此深厚的情谊之上，人们才可能互助合作。这种合作之中既没有权威，也没有任何动机，更不是为了赎罪，只因为他们已经领悟。这件事比任何享乐或牺牲都要伟大得多。“

”经过两年的深思，我才做出这个决定，这不是暂时的冲动，也不是在别人的影响之下做的。身为社长的我，现在已经决定解散世界明星社，你们有权利成立另外的组织，成立另外的牢笼，或是为牢笼点缀一些装饰品，那都不是我关心的事了。我唯一关心的只有如何彻底使人们得到解脱。”

I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. 
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others. This is what everyone throughout the world is attempting to do. Truth is narrowed down and made a plaything for those who are weak, for those who are only momentarily discontented. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices. 
So that is the first reason, from my point of view, why the Order of the Star should be dissolved. In spite of this, you will probably form other Orders, you will continue to belong to other organizations searching for Truth. I do not want to belong to any organization of a spiritual kind, please understand this. I would make use of an organization which would take me to London, for example; this is quite a different kind of organization, merely mechanical, like the post or the telegraph. I would use a motor car or a steamship to travel, these are only physical mechanisms which have nothing whatever to do with spirituality. Again, I maintain that no organization can lead man to spirituality. 
If an organization be created for this purpose, it becomes a crutch, a weakness, a bondage, and must cripple the individual, and prevent him from growing, from establishing his uniqueness, which lies in the discovery for himself of that absolute, unconditioned Truth. So that is another reason why I have decided, as I happen to be the Head of the Order, to dissolve it. No one has persuaded me to this decision. "This is no magnificent deed, because I do not want followers, and I mean this. The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth. 
I am not concerned whether you pay attention to what I say or not. I want to do a certain thing in the world and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies. Then you will naturally ask me why I go the world over, continually speaking. I will tell you for what reason I do this not because I desire a following, not because I desire a special group of special disciples. (How men love to be different from their fellow-men, however ridiculous, absurd and trivial their distinctions may be! I do not want to encourage that absurdity.) I have no disciples, no apostles, either on earth or in the realm of spirituality. 
Nor is it the lure of money, nor the desire to live a comfortable life, which attracts me. If I wanted to lead a comfortable life I would not come to a Camp or live in a damp country! I am speaking frankly because I want this settled once and for all. I do not want these childish discussions year after year. 
One newspaper reporter, who interviewed me, considered it a magnificent act to dissolve an organization in which there were thousands and thousands of members. To him it was a great act because, he said "What will you do afterwards, how will you live You will have no following, people will no longer listen to you." If there are only five people who will listen, who will live, who have their faces turned towards eternity, it will be sufficient. Of what use is it to have thousands who do not understand, who are fully embalmed in prejudice, who do not want the new, but would rather translate the new to suit their own sterile, stagnant selves If I speak strongly, please do not misunderstand me, it is not through lack of compassion. If you go to a surgeon for an operation, is it not kindness on his part to operate even if he cause you pain So, in like manner, if I speak straightly, it is not through lack of real affection–on the contrary. 
As I have said, I have only one purpose to make man free, to urge him towards freedom, to help him to break away from all limitations, for that alone will give him eternal happiness, will give him the unconditioned realization of the self. 
Because I am free, unconditioned, whole–not the part, not the relative, but the whole Truth that is eternal–I desire those, who seek to understand me to be free; not to follow me, not to make out of me a cage which will become a religion, a sect. Rather should they be free from all fears–from the fear of religion, from the fear of salvation, from the fear of spirituality, from the fear of love, from the fear of death, from the fear of life itself. As an artist paints a picture because he takes delight in that painting, because it is his self-expression, his glory, his well-being, so I do this and not because I want anything from anyone. "You are accustomed to authority, or to the atmosphere of authority, which you think will lead you to spirituality. You think and hope that another can, by his extraordinary powers--a miracle– transport you to this realm of eternal freedom which is Happiness. Your whole outlook on life is based on that authority. 
You have listened to me for three years now, without any change taking place except in the few. Now analyze what I am saying, be critical, so that you may understand thoroughly, fundamentally. When you look for an authority to lead you to spirituality, you are bound automatically to build an organization around that authority. By the very creation of that organization, which, you think, will help this authority to lead you to spirituality, you are held in a cage. 
If I talk frankly, please remember that I do so, not out of harshness, not out of cruelty, not out of the enthusiasm of my purpose, but because I want you to understand what I am saying. That is the reason why you are here, and it would be a waste of time if I did not explain clearly, decisively, my point of view. "For eighteen years you have been preparing for this event, for the Coming of the World Teacher. For eighteen years you have organized, you have looked for someone who would give a new delight to your hearts and minds, who would transform your whole life, who would give you a new understanding; for someone who would raise you to a new plane of life, who would give you a new encouragement, who would set you free–and now look what is happening! Consider, reason with yourselves, and discover in what way that belief has made you different–not with the superficial difference of the wearing of a badge, which is trivial, absurd. In what manner has such a belief swept away all the unessential things of life That is the only way to judge in what way are you freer, greater, more dangerous to every Society which is based on the false and the unessential In what way have the members of this organization of the Star become different "As I said, you have been preparing for eighteen years for me. I do not care if you believe that I am the World–Teacher or not. That is of very little importance. Since you belong to the organization of the Order of the Star, you have given your sympathy, your energy, acknowledging that Krishnamurti is the World–Teacher– partially or wholly wholly for those who are really seeking, only partially for those who are satisfied with their own half-truths. 
You have been preparing for eighteen years, and look how many difficulties there are in the way of your understanding, how many complications, how many trivial things. Your prejudices, your fears, your authorities, your churches new and old–all these, I maintain, are a barrier to understanding. I cannot make myself clearer than this. I do not want you to agree with me, I do not want you to follow me, I want you to understand what I am saying. "This understanding is necessary because your belief has not transformed you but only complicated you, and because you are not willing to face things as they are. You want to have your own gods–new gods instead of the old, new religions instead of the old, new forms instead of the old–all equally valueless, all barriers, all limitations, all crutches. Instead of old spiritual distinctions you have new spiritual distinctions, instead of old worships you have new worships. You are all depending for your spirituality on someone else, for your happiness on someone else, for your enlightenment on someone else; and although you have been preparing for me for eighteen years, when I say all these things are unnecessary, when I say that you must put them all away and look within yourselves for the enlightenment, for the glory, for the purification, and for the incorruptibility of the self, not one of you is willing to do it. There may be a few, but very, very few. So why have an organization 
Why have false, hypocritical people following me, the embodiment of Truth Please remember that I am not saying something harsh or unkind, but we have reached a situation when you must face things as they are. I said last year that I would not compromise. Very few listened to me then. This year I have made it absolutely clear. I do not know how many thousands throughout the world–members of the Order–have been preparing for me for eighteen years, and yet now they are not willing to listen unconditionally, wholly, to what I say. 
As I said before, my purpose is to make men unconditionally free, for I maintain that the only spirituality is the incorruptibility of the self which is eternal, is the harmony between reason and love. This is the absolute, unconditioned Truth which is Life itself. I want therefore to set man free, rejoicing as the bird in the clear sky, unburdened, independent, ecstatic in that freedom . And I, for whom you have been preparing for eighteen years, now say that you must be free of all these things, free from your complications, your entanglements. For this you need not have an organization based on spiritual belief. Why have an organization for five or ten people in the world who understand, who are struggling, who have put aside all trivial things And for the weak people, there can be no organization to help them to find the Truth, because Truth is in everyone; it is not far, it is not near; it is eternally there. 
Organizations cannot make you free. No man from outside can make you free; nor can organized worship, nor the immolation of yourselves for a cause, make you free; nor can forming yourselves into an organization, nor throwing yourselves into works, make you free. You use a typewriter to write letters, but you do not put it on an altar and worship it. But that is what you are doing when organizations become your chief concern. 
How many members are there in it" That is the first question I am asked by all newspaper reporters. "How many followers have you By their number we shall judge whether what you say is true or false." I do not know how many there are. I am not concerned with that. As I said, if there were even one man who had been set free, that were enough. 
Again, you have the idea that only certain people hold the key to the Kingdom of Happiness. No one holds it. No one has the authority to hold that key. That key is your own self, and in the development and the purification and in the incorruptibility of that self alone is the Kingdom of Eternity. 
So you will see how absurd is the whole structure that you have built, looking for external help, depending on others for your comfort, for your happiness, for your strength. These can only be found within yourselves. 
You are accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what is your spiritual status. How childish! Who but yourself can tell you if you are beautiful or ugly within Who but yourself can tell you if you are incorruptible You are not serious in these things. 
But those who really desire to understand, who are looking to find that which is eternal, without beginning and without an end, will walk together with a greater intensity, will be a danger to everything that is unessential, to unrealities, to shadows. And they will concentrate, they will become the flame, because they understand. Such a body we must create, and that is my purpose. Because of that real understanding there will be true friendship. Because of that true friendship–which you do not seem to know–there will be real cooperation on the part of each one. And this not because of authority, not because of salvation, not because of immolation for a cause, but because you really understand, and hence are capable of living in the eternal. This is a greater thing than all pleasure, than all sacrifice. 
So these are some of the reasons why, after careful consideration for two years, I have made this decision. It is not from a momentary impulse. I have not been persuaded to it by anyone. I am not persuaded in such things. For two years I have been thinking about this, slowly, carefully, patiently, and I have now decided to disband the Order, as I happen to be its Head. You can form other organizations and expect someone else. With that I am not concerned, nor with creating new cages, new decorations for those cages. My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free."
