被信仰所搅扰
你所信奉的宗教以及你对神的信仰，都是一种对眼前事实的逃避，因此这种形式的信仰并不是真正的精神修为。一个以不实手段残忍地剥削别人而致富的人，通常都信仰神。若是不假思索地信仰神，往往会产生怀疑、羡慕、狡猾与冷酷的心态，而我们能借着不诚实及狡猾的手段来认识神吗？收藏一堆的经书以及各种象征神的物品，就代表你是真正的宗教人士吗？因此宗教并不是为了逃避事实，宗教修持乃是去了解自己在日常生活里的言行举止，譬如自己是如何对待佣人、妻子、孩子和邻居的。若是不了解自己跟邻居、社会、配偶及孩子的关系，你就会充满着各种困惑无明。处在这种情况下，你的心只会制造出更多的冲突与问题。一个总是在逃避真相，认不清关系中的事实的人，永远也无法发现神。被信仰所搅扰是不可能认识实相的，但心若是能了解它跟财物、人及概念的关系，就不会被关系制造出来的问题所困扰，也不会采取退缩的解决办法，它会去彻底了解爱是什么——这样的心就能体悟实相。

So, your religion, your belief in God, is an escape from actuality, and therefore it is no religion at all. The rich man who accumulates money through cruelty, through dishonesty, through cunning exploitation believes in God; and you also believe in God, you also are cunning, cruel, suspicious, envious. Is God to be found through dishonesty, through deceit, through cunning tricks of the mind? Because you collect all the sacred books and the various symbols of God, does that indicate that you are a religious person? So, religion is not escape from the fact; religion is the understanding of the fact of what you are in your everyday relationships; religion is the manner of your speech, the way you talk, the way you address your servants, the way you t reat your wife, your children, and neighbors. As long as you do not understand your relationship with your neighbor, with society, with your wife and children, there must be confusion; and whatever it does, the mind that is confused will only create more c onfusion, more problems and conflict. A mind that escapes from the actual, from the facts of relationship, shall never find God; a mind that is agitated by belief shall not know truth. But the mind that understands its relationship with property, with peop le, with ideas, the mind which no longer struggles with the problems which relationship creates, and for which the solution is not withdrawal but the understanding of love — such a mind alone can understand reality.
作者简介克里希那穆提（J.Krishnamurti，1895-1986），印度著名哲学家，20 世纪最伟大的心灵导师，在西方有着广泛而深远的影响。他主张真理纯属个人了悟，一定要用自己的光照亮自己。他一生的教诲皆在帮助人类从恐惧和无明中彻底解脱，体悟慈悲与至乐的境界。他的六十多册著作，都是由空性流露的演讲和讲话结集而成，目前已经译成了四十七种语言出版。

克里希那穆提在1934年曾经说过：“你为什么只想做书本的学生，而不想做人生的门徒？若是能在周遭的环境里发现孰真孰假，你自然会知道什么是实相。”他不断地指出，只有这本思想无法操纵的“生命之书”，这本永远在变化、充满活力的著作，才是值得阅读的，其他的都只是二手信息罢了。无穷的经验，深植于内心的恐惧、焦虑、痛苦、快乐及人类数千年来所累积的信念，全都在你的内心深处，你就是这本“生命之书”。
