Q: What is seeing? What is listening? What is learning?

Do we see actually or through a screen darkly, through a screen of prejudice, a

screen of our experiences, wishes, pleasures, fears, between us and the object of
perception? Do we ever see the thing at all?

Does the act of listening bring about complete freedom from all statements? Is the
mind completely attentive? Then the mind is extraordinarily free to act. Then the
seeing is doing.

I learn in order to gain reward or avoid punishment. I learn a particular job or

craft to earn a livelihood. Is learning a process of accumulation? Is there any
other kind of learning that is not accumulating, and acting from that?

Have we learned anything from sorrow? What is there to learn?

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. If you would like to help us with translating
subtitles, please contact us at digital@kfoundation.org
