Look with all Intensity

 Look with all Intensity

Jiddu Krishnamurti 

Book of Life

JK says

Our ears are stuffed up with those things

That we already know!

So listening becomes extra-ordinarily difficult!

I think or rather - it is a fact - that

If one can listen to something with all of on’s being

-with vigor, with vitality

The very act of listening is a liberating factor

But unfortunately, you never do listened, as you never

Learned about it !


Afterall, you only learn when you give your whole being to something!

When you give your whole being to mathematics, you learn

But when you are in a state of contradiction

When you do not want to learn, but are forced to learn

Then it merely becomes a process of accumulation!


If you want to learn about a leaf - a leaf of spring or leaf of the summer

You must really look at it , see the symmetry , texture, quality if the living leaf


There is beauty , there is vigor , there is vitality in a single leaf

So to learn about the leaf, the flower, the cloud , the sunset

Or  a Human Being

You must look with all intensity!!!
