孤独与独立是完全不同的。你必须穿越孤独，才能抵达独立的境界。孤独不能与独立相提并论，只懂得孤独的人，根本不明白何谓独立。此刻你在心灵独立状态吗？我们的心还没有圆融成独立的心灵，因为心智本身就是四分五裂的。分裂的心，只懂得孤独。
寂然独立的心灵，没有裂解，不是多元之物，不被多元世界所扰动，也不是多元因素的产物，不像思维心那样由众多碎片拼合而成。思维心不是一个独立体，而是千百年来人类不断累积、拼合、造作而成。所以，人的思维心根本不独立，也不能理解独立，但通过穿越孤独、领悟孤独，可以进入独立境界。唯有那时，那不可量度之境才能呈现。不幸的是，我们绝大部分人追逐依赖感。我们渴望陪伴，渴求朋友，又渴望生活在彼此分割的状态，而这种状态必然产生冲突。独立的心灵绝无冲突，但我们的思维心对此不能觉察，不能理解，因为思维只懂得孤独。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Knowing Loneliness
Loneliness is entirely different from aloneness. That loneliness must be passed to be alone. Loneliness is not comparable with aloneness. The man who knows loneliness can never know that which is alone. Are you in that state of aloneness? Our minds are not integrated to be alone. The very process of the mind is separative. And that which separates knows loneliness.
But aloneness is not separative. It is something that is not the many, which is not influenced by the many, which is not the result of the many, which is not put together as the mind is; the mind is of the many. Mind is not an entity that is alone, being put together, brought together, manufactured through centuries. Mind can never be alone. Mind can never know aloneness. But being aware of the loneliness when going through it, there comes into being that aloneness. Then only can there be that which is immeasurable. Unfortunately most of us seek dependence. We want companions, we want friends, we want to live in a state of separation, in a state that brings about conflict. That which is alone can never be in a state of conflict. But mind can never perceive that, can never understand that, it can only know loneliness.
