Questioner: How can the mind go beyond its hindrances?

問：心智要如何超越它的障礙？

Krishnamurti: To go beyond its hindrances, the mind must first be aware of them, must it not? You must know the limitations, the boundaries, the frontiers of your own mind; but very few of us know them. We say that we do, but it is merely a verbal assertion. We never say, "Here is a barrier, a bondage within me, and I want to understand it; therefore I am going to be cognizant of it, see how it came into being and the whole nature of it".

克：心智要想超越它的障礙，首先必須對障礙有所覺察，不是嗎？你必須知道你自己心智的限制、範圍、邊界等，但是我們很少有人知道這些。我們說自己知道，但那只是口頭上的說法。我們從來不說：“我內心有障礙、有束縛，我想要去了解它，所以我要對它有所認識，我要觀察它是如何產生的以及它所有的本質。”

If one knows what the disease is, there is a possibility of curing it. But to know the disease, to know the particular limitation, bondage or hindrance of the mind, and to understand it, one must not condemn it, one must not say it is right or wrong. One must observe it without having an opinion, a prejudice about it - which is extraordinarily difficult, because we are brought up to condemn.

如果我們知道疾病在哪裡，我們就有治癒它的可能。但是想認識心病，認識心智特殊的限制、束縛或障礙，並且去了解它，我們就一定不能譴責它，一定不能說它是對的或錯的。我們必須觀察它，沒有觀點或偏見，但這是非常困難的事，因為我們成長的環境總是教我們去譴責。

To understand a child, there must be no condemnation. To condemn him has no meaning. You have to watch him when he is playing, crying, eating, you have to observe him in all his moods; but you cannot do this if you say he is ugly, he is stupid, he is this or that.

要了解一個孩子，一定不能責罵，責罵他是沒有意義的。當他在遊戲、哭泣、吃東西時，你要觀察他，觀察他所有的情緒；但是如果你說他頑劣、愚笨，說他這樣或那樣，你就無法真的觀察了。

Similarly, if one can watch the hindrances of the mind, not only the superficial hindrances but also the deeper hindrances in the unconscious - watch them without condemnation - then the mind can go beyond them; and that very going beyond is a movement towards truth.

同樣，如果你能夠觀察心智的障礙，不只是表面上的障礙，還有潛意識裡深藏的障礙——觀察它們而又不去譴責——那麼你的心就可以超越它們，而這種超越本身就會帶領你抵達真理。
