1
Krishnaji, what is the secret?
2
What do you know that the rest of us don't know?
3
I've never had conflict in my life.
4
No conflict? At all.
5
You must be almost unique among human beings, if that's so.
6
It's not because of circumstances.
7
It's not because I was protected.
8
It was not because of any outside influence that kept me safe.
9
But I think it was a realization that conflict destroys not only the mind, but the whole sensitivity of awareness.
10
So I've never had conflict.
11
It would seem quite natural to me.
12
It wasn't an effort not to be in conflict.
13
Well, for most of us, it is an effort.
14
So how can we conquer it?
15
I think it comes really when you have a direct perception of something that conflict does destroy human dignity,
16
human sense of depth and all the rest of it.
17
And if you have a deep insight into it, it stops immediately, for me.
18
Well, what about for us?
19
Oh yes, for everybody. For everybody?
20
Then how do we attain that?
21
It's almost like finding nirvana, finding the ultimate goal, isn't it?
22
No, the ultimate goal, if you can put it that way, is to find that which is completely sacred, totally uncontaminated by thought.
23
Is thought a contaminant then?
24
Yes.
25
See, that is a very strange concept for most people.
26
It's not a concept, it's an actuality.
27
Why do you reduce to a concept?
28
Well, because that is one's way, our way of thinking.
29
We learn to think that thought itself is the most important and strongest and most powerful means we have. Of course.
30
And is that not so?
31
But thought is very limited.
32
Go on, why?
33
Because it's born out of knowledge, born out of memory, experience, so knowledge is never complete about anything.
34
But what is more complete than that?
35
You say born out of experience, memory, knowledge.
36
Of course it is, but how can we go beyond those?
37
I think that comes really when you give thought its right place.
38
But thought, as it is limited, as it is conditioned by knowledge, which is never complete under any circumstance.
39
So thought, when one realises thought has its right place, Then, psychologically, you don't build an image about oneself, about anything.
40
You see facts as they are.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
