Very nice, thankyou, i heard an audio clip of a Krishnamurti talk about 'Listening' the other day, i think it was actually from this talk you just posted, it really hit home with me

Listening is a wonderful 'practice' if you like, as the only requirement to listen is to keep quiet, pay attention, to be open, available

There's not much you have to do to Listen to life, to be directly aware of/as life, just like if we were having a conversation & i started to hum a song, i would probably tune you out and not hear you, but all i have to do is stop messing about, give you my attention, which takes very little effort, and then i will hear you out, similarly when we are always thinking we know this or that, we are not listening to what is, to Life, to 'do' that one must keep quiet, attune your sense of receptivity by simply Listening, and take it all in

I felt that resonance as well :sun:

"Springs of water welling from the fire"

"Life may seem to flee in a moment, but when the mind is freed of the veil of ignorance, and illusion that comes between the mind and the truth, life and death are only opposite sides of the same coin - "water welling from the fire."

"Within us, we carry the world of no-birth and no-death. But we never touch it, because we live only with our notions."
