此刻你们在听我说话,并没有努力倾注注意力,而只是单纯地听。如果在聆听中看清了自心的真相,你会发现内心正在发生显著改变,但并不是你预先谋划或梦寐以求的变化,而是心灵的转化,是唯有真相才能主宰的彻底革命,不是心智的造作。
如果允许我给建议的话,你应当用这种方式去聆听万物——不仅这样聆听我,而且这样聆听别人说话,聆听小鸟啁啾,聆听火车汽笛声,聆听过往巴士的噪音。你会发现,聆听万物越多,则内心的宁静越宏大,这份宁静越不会被噪音所击碎。只有当你内心对某事物产生抗拒,在你和不想听的事物之间竖起一道屏障时,你内心才陷入挣扎。
——克里希那穆提《生命书:365观心日课》(The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti)
Listening Without Effort
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.
