Listening!

 Listening!

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Book of Life


Listening itself is a complete act!

The very act of listening brings its own freedom;


But are you really concerned with listening ?

Or with altering the turmoil within?


If you would listen in the sense of

Being aware of your conflicts 

And contradictions without forcing them into any particular

Pattern of thought, perhaps they might altogether cease!


You see, we are constantly trying to be this or that!

To achieve a particular state

To capture one kind of experience and avoid another

So the mind is everlastingly occupied

With something; 


It is neve still to listen to the noise of 

Its own struggles and pains!


Be Simple!

Dont try to be something (Someone!)

Or to capture some experience!


Most of us though are after results,

achieving goals,

we are forever overcoming and conquering

and so there is no listening!
