Krishnamur

"So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it." Jiddu Krishnamurti

"If we try to listen we find it extraordinarily

difficult, because we are always projecting

our opinions and ideas, our prejudices,

our background, our inclinations,

our impulses; when they dominate,

we hardly listen at all to what is being said…

One listens and therefore

learns, only in a state

of silence, in which this

whole background is in

abeyance, is quite;

then, it seems to me,

it is possible

to communicate."

Jiddu Krishnamurti
