You are now listening to me; you are not making an effort to pay attention, you are just listening; and if there is truth in what you hear, you will find a remarkable change taking place in you -- a change that is not premeditated or wished for, a transformation, a complete revolution in which the truth alone is master and not the creations of your mind. And if I may suggest it, you should listen in that way to everything -- not only to what I am saying, but also to what other people are saying, to the birds, to the whistle of a locomotive, to the noise of the bus going by. You will find that the more you listen to everything, the greater is the silence, and that silence is then not broken by noise. It is only when you are resisting something, when you are putting up a barrier between yourself and that to which you do not want to listen -- it is only then that there is a struggle.
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
...from 'The Book of Life'
Acum ma ascultati pe mine, nu faceti un efort sa fiti atenti ci doar ma ascultati si daca este adevar in ceea ce ascultati, veti vedea cum o schimbare remarcabila are loc in voi - o schimbare care nu este premeditata sau dorita, o transformare, o revolutie completa in care adevarul singur este stapan si nu creatiile mintii voastre. Si daca pot sa sugerez asta, ar trebui sa ascultati in felul acesta totul - nu doar ceea ce va spun eu, dar si ceea ce alti oameni spun, sau cum canta pasarile, sau fluierul locomotivei ori zgomotul autobuzului care trece. Veti vedea ca cu cat ascultati mai mult la tot, cu atat mai mare este linistea si ca aceasta liniste nu este intrerupta de zgomot. Doar atunci cand va opuneti, atunci cand puneti o bariera intre voi si un anumit lucru pe care nu vreti sa-l ascultati, doar atunci exista o lupta.
