无论情绪，或者智力，最终都会把你引向绝境，因为那是穷途末路。
你明白，爱不是快感，也不是欲望。先生，你知道快感是什么吧？当你看到某物，产生某种感受，然后细细思索，时时品味，从而产生快感。你渴望快感，渴望不停地重复那快感。当一个人雄心勃勃，甚或略具企图心时，那也能产生快感。当一个人打着国家的旗号、以理念的名义，追逐权力官位，沽名钓誉，那能为他来带来快乐。但他心里根本没有爱，所以他在为世界制造灾祸，为内心和外在制造战争。
所以，你必须明白，情绪、感伤、狂热、良善感，等等，与真爱和慈悲毫无关系。一切感伤与情绪都是思维的造作，只能产生苦与乐。而爱没有痛苦，没有悲伤，因为爱不是快感和欲望的产物。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Emotions Lead Nowhere
Whether you are guided by your emotions or guided by your intellect, it leads to despair because it leads nowhere.
But you realize that love is not pleasure, love is not desire. You know what pleasure is, sir? When you look at something or when you have a feeling, to think about that feeling, to dwell constantly upon that feeling gives you pleasure, and that pleasure you want and you repeat that pleasure over and over again. When a man is very ambitious or a little ambitious, that gives him pleasure. When a man is seeking power, position, prestige in the name of the country, in the name of an idea, and all the rest of it, that gives him pleasure. He has no love at all, and therefore he creates mischief in the world. He brings about war within and without.
So one has to realize that emotions, sentiment, enthusiasm, the feeling of being good, and all that have nothing whatsoever to do with real affection, compassion. All sentiment, emotions have to do with thought and therefore lead to pleasure and pain. Love has no pain, no sorrow, because it is not the outcome of pleasure or desire.
