Jiddu Krishnamurti: The Art Of Listening

[Reminiscence26]

Great dialogue. Although the title 'The Art Of Listening' is just a description, it's also a rather peculiar one... I could be wrong but doesn't 'Art' imply formula, method, skill?. Which means we would be using thought as a means to listen, which obviously is not listening!?. This dialogue between K & Mr. A negates this title anyhow. As you will see.

@Reminiscence26 "The Nature of Listening" might be a better title... ?

[Reminiscence26]

@atwaterpub Yes perhaps. But you may have to question that nature though?. Is it natural?, or does it come from me, my conditioning?. If it does then its unnatural :) The title is not important... K uses the word Art, which i found rather odd as it implies systems but again this dialogue dissolves the whole thing.

Thank you for posting this dialogue. If one listens in the way Krishnaji is suggesting then the miracle has taken place then and there. A gem.
