Seeing without interpretation...

“What do you mean when you say you see something? When you hear a word, because that word has a reference, you understand that word. Or do you hear the word and translate it according to your memory? When you say, ‘I see,’ you generally mean, ‘I hear the word. I have understood because you are speaking English, and that word has a meaning to me.’ So you are looking through a word at the thing, you are not looking – the word is interfering. The word, the symbol, the idea, the memory, all that is interfering with observing and seeing. So can you look, can you listen, without interpretation, without the word, without the memory?” (Krishnamurti, from a public talk in 1966)…
