The saying dates back to 8th century Buddhist teachings. There are similar phrases in Confucius philosophy. Mahatma Gandhi adopted the principle and this popularly came to be know as 'Gandhiji's Three Monkeys'
Caution 🚫 : The saying does not imply turning a blind eye.
Inference💡: We must not wilfully subject our mind to negative contents that have no significance in our lives. Because what we hear and see is what we think; and what we think is what we become!
