什么是慈悲？请你用心探索，亲身感受：一颗伤痕累累的心，一颗脆弱易伤的心，能宽恕别人吗？易受伤之心，修养自己的美德，刻意追求慷慨大度，这是慈悲吗？慈悲，和仁爱一样，都是与心智无关的品格；当你处于慈悲、仁爱之中时，心智是意识不到的。一旦有意识地宽容他人，你的“自我中心”反而安住于心理伤害中，并得到增强。所以，当刻意宽容他人时，其实内心从未宽容，因为它不懂真正的宽容；之所以做出宽容姿态，只是为了免受更多的伤害。

所以，重要的是，我们要明白：为什么心总耽于记忆与储存？因为我们的心不懈地追逐自大，自我膨胀，梦想成为大人物。而当你自甘于无名，自甘于寻常，自甘于彻彻底底平淡如水，则那状态中就有悲悯，此时既不存在宽容心，也没有伤害感。要想明白这一点，你必须明白“自我”是如何刻意培育出来的。

所以，只要你刻意培养某种影响力、某种美德，那么你心里就没有仁爱，没有慈悲，因为仁爱与慈悲并非努力即可得。

——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）

Forgiveness Is Not True Compassion

What is it to be compassionate? Please find out for yourself, feel it out, whether a mind that is hurt, that can be hurt, can ever forgive. Can a mind that is capable of being hurt ever forgive? And can such a mind, which is capable of being hurt, which is cultivating virtue, which is conscious of generosity, can such a mind be compassionate? Compassion, as love, is something which is not of the mind. The mind is not conscious of itself as being compassionate, as loving. But the moment you forgive consciously, the mind is strengthening its own center in its own hurt. So the mind which consciously forgives can never forgive; it does not know forgiveness; it forgives in order not to be further hurt.

So it is very important to find out why the mind actually remembers, stores away. Because the mind is everlastingly seeking to aggrandize itself, to become big, to be something. When the mind is willing not to be anything, to be nothing, completely nothing, then in that state there is compassion. In that state there is neither forgiveness nor the state of hurt; but to understand that, one has to understand the conscious development of the “me….”

So, as long as there is the conscious cultivation of any particular influence, any particular virtue, there can be no love, there can be no compassion, because love and compassion are not the result of conscious effort.
