A few funny stray thoughts just peep into my mind at
the first reading the thoughts of the Great Guru JK:
1. He who is empty learns!
2. Learning needs a continuous flow of thought
process.
3. Is there any stage where learning comes to an end?
No more learning.
J K is a great master, nothing like to follow him. The
difficulty is to understand intellectually his
thoughts, it is the perfect logic, philosophy, say
something like Sankhya Yoga. How can one catch wind?
Thanks to Prof. Goelji to bring me back to JK.
Regards.
Yours,

> He Who Accumulates Cannot Learn
by J. KrishnamurtiIt seems that communion is a very
difficult art. To commune with one another over the
many problems that we have requires listening and
learning, which are both very difficult to do. Most of
us hardly listen, and we hardly learn. To commune with
each other, which is what these meetings are intended
for, requires a certain capacity, a certain way of
listening - not merely to gather information, which
any schoolboy can do, but rather listening in order to
understand. [รข€¦]
It seems to me of the utmost importance that we do
listen in order to learn. Learning is not merely the
accumulation of knowledge. Knowledge never brings
perception; experience never flowers into the beauty
of understanding. Most of us listen with the
background of what we know, of what we have
experienced. Perhaps you have never noticed the
difference between the mind that really learns and the
mind that merely accumulates, gathers knowledge. The
mind that is accumulating knowledge never learns. It
is always translating what it hears in terms of its
own experience, in terms of the knowledge which it has
gathered; it is caught up in the process of
accumulating, of adding to what it already knows, and
such a mind is incapable of learning. I do not know if
you have noticed this. [...] So it seems to me very
important that we commune with each other quietly, in
a dignified manner, and for that there must be a
listening and a learning.
When you commune with your own heart, when you commune
with your friend, when you commune with the skies,
with the stars, with the sunset, with a flower, then
surely you are listening so as to find out, to learn -
which does not mean that you accept or deny. You are
learning, and either acceptance or denial of what is
being said puts an end to learning. When you commune
with the sunset, with a friend, with your wife, with
your child, you do not criticize, you do not deny or
assert, translate or identify. You are communing, you
are learning, you are searching out. From this inquiry
comes the movement of learning, which is never
accumulative.
I think it is important to understand that a man who
accumulates can never learn. Self-learning implies a
fresh, eager mind - a mind that is not committed, a
mind that does not belong to anything, that is not
limited to any particular field. It is only such a
mind that learns.
