Audio | J. Krishnamurti – Saanen 1962 – Public Talk 1 – We can listen only when there is no motive

Subtitles available in: ENGLISH J. Krishnamurti – Saanen 1962 – Public Talk 1 – We can listen only when there is no motive If a motive is making you listen, the motive becomes important, not the act of listening. You cannot listen if comparing with what you already know, which is merely interpreting. Where there is interpretation there is no act of listening. To listen and to see does not require effort. Negative thinking implies the uncovering of one’s own assertive, dogmatic beliefs, experiences, hopes and fears. Have you ever tried to look at something without the word? To know oneself demands not the accumulative process of knowledge but the knowing of oneself moment to moment. The understanding of a problem is far more significant than finding an answer. It is the only way to resolve a problem. Questions from the audience followed the talk. --- This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, UK, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America. The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said, 'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person. ' We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms. Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world.
