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.

影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | was protected · Is thought · is conditioned |

需要注意的發音
說話人用了 6 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 don't, I've, isn't。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: perception /pɚˈsɛpʃ(ə)n/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: sensitivity /ˌsɛn.səˈtɪv.ə.ti/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, actuality /ˌækt͡ʃuˈælɪti/, contaminant /kənˈtamɪnənt/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: sensitivity /ˌsɛn.səˈtɪv.ə.ti/, nirvana /nɪɹˈvɑ.nə/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: circumstance /ˈsɝ.kəmˌstæns/, awareness /əˈwɛɹ.nəs/, sacred /ˈseɪkɹɪd/, insight /ˈɪnsaɪ̯t/, contaminant /kənˈtamɪnənt/
- /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: circumstance /ˈsɝ.kəmˌstæns/, actuality /ˌækt͡ʃuˈælɪti/

- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 circumstance, awareness, sacred 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
