쉐도잉 연습: Does God exist? | J. Krishnamurti - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Sixth Question: 'Kindly give a straight reply.

Does God exist, or not? Yes, or no?

If yes, how best to realise Him in this life?' It's a lovely question, isn’t it?

'Kindly give a straight reply.

Does God exist, or not? Yes, or no?

If yes, how best to realise Him in this life?' Man throughout history from the ancient Greeks, from the ancient Sumerians, has had this idea of God.

Right? I'm not at all sure whether in the Upanishads they mention God at all.

Or is it a later invention?

You understand?

So, what is God?

We are investigating, I am not attacking God.

I am not denying God, but we are investigating whether there is such a thing as God.

Who invented God?

Did God invent us, did God create us?

God, who is omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, merciful, just, all goodness. Right?

That’s your concept of God.

And if you say, he has created us, then we are part of his image.

We are part of him.

That is, we are omniscient, generous, loving. Right?

And eternal.

Are we? Or we think we are?

You understand my question?

If God created you, he must be an extraordinary entity because he wants you to lead a terrible life.

You understand my question?

If God made you, why are you like this?

You must be extraordinary human beings, mustn’t you?

Beautiful, full of joy, excitement, full of delight, but you are not.

So either you have created God, or God has created you.

But if you examine very closely, you have created God.

In India, there are about – I was told there are about 300,000 gods and more.

Every local person has his own god.

So, sirs, we have created God.

See the irony of it.

Thought has created God and then thought worships the image which thought has created.

Which is, to worship oneself and call it 'God'.

You understand all this?

'The better part of you is God'. Right?

I wonder if you understand this.

First of all, let’s be clear.

Have you created God?

The local gods, round the corner, or the local god in Rome, or in Tirupati, or wherever, you have created them, haven’t you?

You're so very uncertain, aren’t you? So frightened.

If you say, 'We have created', then you are scared stiff because you have created out of your fear, that.

Out of your fear, you want security.

You want safety, you want to feel there is somebody looking after you because you are afraid. You follow?

So you create that, and then worship that.

Just see what you are doing!

Going to Tirupati and putting all your money in the bag.

Do you think gods want your money?

Sir, look at it all.

You have nothing to offer but money, garlands, prostrations, rituals.

Right? You have nothing else to offer.

Have you realised the tragedy of this, sirs?

If you love, not God, that’s very easy to love God because it's an abstraction, it has not much meaning.

But if you loved, that very love is God, that very love is sacred.

You won’t go outside to look for God.

You understand all this, sirs?

And the questioner wants to know if I believe in God.

I don’t. Because 'God' is not something created by man.

There is such a thing as eternity, which is to be outside of time.

Right, sir?

For that you must have a mind, a heart that is completely free from all the burdens of life.

Right? From your vanity, your arrogance, your selfishness.

You follow, sir?

And we say, we are not capable of it, tell us what to do.

You are back in the cycle, somebody to tell you what to do.

Sir, you're in a jungle, you have to walk through it by yourself.

And for that you need vitality and vigour and strength.

Not belief in God, in goodness – belief has no place where truth is concerned.

Q: Then what is atman, sir?

Atman, about which we have been hearing even Annie Besant in the past.

Atman. K: Who is that?

Q: The conscience inside each of us.

K: Who is atman?

Q: The conscience inside each of us.

K: Is conscience atman?

Q: What they call a soul.

K: Soul. Which soul?

The sole of a shoe? Or soul?

I don’t know what you are talking about.

Q: Atman. K: At last, you are all getting excited!

Because your belief is being attacked.

You are not meeting the challenge, but you are resisting it.

You think there is something inside you which is permanent, which is the light of God, which is nameless, etc, etc, call it 'atman', 'soul', 'light', whatever you like to call it.

That there is inside you, in your conscience, in your brain, in your mind, something which is not worldly, which is not of thought.

Right? You believe that, don’t you? Yes, sir?

Q: No, I don’t believe in it.

K: Why? Q: There is no such thing.

K: How do you know?

Q: (Inaudible) K: Childish. Just belief, belief, belief.

What kind of brains have you, sirs?

Don’t you want to find out?

Don’t you want to investigate into the truth of this matter, whether there is soul, atman, whatever you like to call it?

Just believe. If you believe, what value has it?

Suppose I believe I have got atman, or whatever it is, 'super-atman' I would call it.

I believe in that. What value has it?

In my daily life what part does it play?

I am miserable, I am confused, I’m lonely, anxious, in agony, what’s the point of my having a belief in atman?

If I am free from all that, completely, then I shall find out.

100

But to suppose I am, it becomes so childish.

101

For God’s sake.

102

And we are all grown-up people – jobs, children, wives.

103

Q: (Inaudible) K: What, what, what, sir? I don’t understand what you’re saying.

104

Q: So many great people… K: Ramana Maharshi and who?

105

Q: Ramakrishna.

106

K: All right, sir. What about them?

107

Q: They lived a simple life (inaudible) K: Sir, would you forget all these people, including Ramana Maharshi, whatever the other gentleman was?

108

Would you forget them?

109

What value has their life to you?

110

You have your life to live, not their life!

111

God, what kind…?

112

And when the people say they have attained – whatever they have attained – how do you know?

113

Q: You have also said there's some timeless eternity.

114

K: Ah, I have said it, sir. Don’t believe it!

115

Q: That's not fair, sir.

116

K: It is not fair, I know, it is not quite fair.

117

But, sir, just listen.

118

Sir, truth is something you cannot experience.

119

It cannot be told to you, the word is not that.

120

But if you live on words, it is that.

121

You understand?

122

The word is not that, like the word ‘tree’ is not the tree.

123

I can describe eternity, blah, blah, but the word is not that.

124

But we are satisfied with the word.

125

Right, sir?

126

You love with your heart, with your mind, with everything that you have, you love somebody, and you tell me of that love, and I accept the words but I have no...

127

– the flower isn’t there, the perfume isn’t there.

128

You see, sirs, you have leaders: religious leaders and political leaders.

129

I don’t know why, why you have leaders at all.

130

Ramakrishna, whatever gurus that you've had, one after the other.

131

This country is full of them.

132

And why do you follow? You understand?

133

If once you realised that you are responsible entirely for yourself, that you are in a jungle, literally in a jungle, where you have to make your own way out.

134

There is nobody to lead you, then you forget all this: the examples, the books, everything, because you have got vitality, strength to go through.

135

But the moment you depend on leaders, you become weak.

136

If once you realise it, in your heart not just intellectually, then you are a man, a human being, free to walk straight!

137

But we don’t want all that.

138

Sir, it's so simple when you think of it all.

보통 속도로 한 문장씩 섀도잉하고, 화자의 리듬과 맞을 때까지 반복합니다.
자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, belief, conscience, investigate 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
