我们要探讨的话题，需要一颗具有深邃穿透力的心。我们的心必须贴近，然后再起步，因为如果我们不懂得同心而行，不懂得如何起步，就不能走很远。
冥想的绽放，就是至善，而心灵的宽宏，是冥想的第一步。我们已经讨论过生活、权威、雄心、恐惧、贪婪、嫉妒、死亡、时间等话题，如果你观察一下，如果你曾深入探究，如果你曾真正聆听，你会发现，参悟那些事物，是静心冥想的基础。如果你雄心勃勃，那么你就不能冥想，也许只是摆弄冥想概念，聊以自娱。如果你内心充满权威意识，被传统所困缚，只懂接受、顺从，那么你将永远不能明白冥想的美妙绝伦。
如果在时间之流中追求冥想的圆满，这就会阻碍内心的宽宏。你需要有一颗宽宏的心，所谓宽宏，不仅指内心宽大、空廓，而且心灵要清空妄念，放下动机，不追求任何回报。你的付出或多或少，但都是出于自发，不附加条件，毫不保留，这是必要的。如果无宽宏之心，无至善之心，那么就不可能有冥想。宽宏之善，就是清除傲慢心，不攀援成功，不渴望声名，在每日每时每分，都放下既有的成就。只有扎根于这样肥沃的土壤，善德才会成长、绽放。冥想，就是至善大德的绽放。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365静心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Generosity of the Heart Is the Beginning of Meditation
We are going to talk about something that needs a mind that can penetrate very profoundly. We must begin very near because we cannot go very far if we do not know how to begin very close, if we do not know how to take the first step.
The flowering of meditation is goodness, and the generosity of the heart is the beginning of meditation. We have talked about many things concerning life, authority, ambition, fear, greed, envy, death, time; we have talked about many things. If you observe, if you have gone into it, if you have listened rightly, those are all the foundation for a mind that is capable of meditating. You cannot meditate if you are ambitious—you may play with the idea of meditation. If your mind is authority-ridden, bound by tradition, accepting, following, you will never know what it is to meditate on this extraordinary beauty….
It is the pursuit of its own fulfillment through time that prevents generosity. And you need a generous mind—not only a wide mind, a mind that is full of space, but also a heart that gives without thought, without a motive, and that does not seek any reward in return. But to give whatever little one has or however much one has—that quality of spontaneity of outgoing, without any restriction, without any withholding, is necessary. There can be no meditation without generosity, without goodness—which is to be free from pride, never to climb the ladder of success, never to know what it is to be famous; which is to die to whatever has been achieved, every minute of the day. It is only in such fertile ground that goodness can grow, can flower. And meditation is the flowering of goodness.
