你是怎样聆听的？你在聆听时，是不是在运用心理投射？是不是透过你的雄心、欲望、恐惧、焦灼来收听？是不是只收听你想听的、令你满足的、令你愉悦的、令你惬意的声音？是不是只收听能暂时减缓内心痛苦的声音？如果你是通过欲望的滤网来聆听，显然你只是在聆听自己的心声、自己的欲望而已。
那么，还有另一种聆听吗？重要的是，不仅要聆听话语，还要聆听万物——街头的喧嚣、小鸟的啁啾、电车的噪音、永不止息的海潮音、丈夫的声音、太太的声音、朋友的声音、婴孩的啼哭……只有当你不再投射自己的欲望，并透过欲望去聆听，这样的聆听才有意义。
你能拆下内心所有滤网，去真心聆听吗？
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
Putting Aside Screens
How do you listen? Do you listen with your projections, through your projection, through your ambitions, desires, fears, anxieties, through hearing only what you want to hear, only what will be satisfactory, what will gratify, what will give comfort, what will for the moment alleviate your suffering? If you listen through the screen of your desires, then you obviously listen to your own voice; you are listening to your own desires.
And is there any other form of listening? Is it not important to find out how to listen not only to what is being said but to everything—to the noise in the streets, to the chatter of birds, to the noise of the tramcar, to the restless sea, to the voice of your husband, to your wife, to your friends, to the cry of a baby? Listening has importance only when one is not projecting one’s own desires through which one listens.
Can one put aside all these screens through which we listen, and really listen?
