当你努力地听讲时，你在真正聆听吗？那种努力感，不会让内心散乱，从而阻碍聆听吗？相反，当聆听令人愉悦的事情时，你还需要用力吗？只要你的心充满了任何的努力、攀比、辩解或谴责，那么你就不是觉知真相，也不能看清谬误。
聆听，本身就是完满的心行，能为你带来解脱。但，你究竟是想聆听真实的心声，还是想改造内心的烦恼？如果你能用心聆听，觉知内心的矛盾与冲突，而不是暴力地压制冲突，使冲突渗入自己的思维模式，那么那些内在冲突或许就全部止息。
你看，我们总是努力修成这、成为那，总想达成某种境界，抓取这经验，逃避那经验，所以内心总是塞满东西，一刻不停，从未安静下来聆听自己内心挣扎与痛苦的噪音。
活得单纯一点吧！不必执意成为显赫人物，不必执意博取人生经验。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Listening Brings Freedom
When you make an effort to listen, are you listening? Is not that very effort a distraction that prevents listening? Do you make an effort when you listen to something that gives you delight? … You are not aware of the truth, nor do you see the false as the false, as long as your mind is occupied in any way with effort, with comparison, with justification or condemnation….
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 never still to listen to the noise of its own struggles and pains.
Be simple … and don’t try to become something or to capture some experience.
