The walking radical signifies that this character has something to do with distance, and the 斤 part of the character looks like a hand pointing down at the ground, as you could point to something that is close to you. Together, this character reminds me of something that you could point at and walk to, so something that is close.
the radical is walking and the the lower part of the character looks like two lines that are close to each other and not go into different directions as the “far” character.
辶 is the radical, and it means to walk. “near enough to walk to”. The component on the right side is also in the character 听,which is pronounced “ting”, which sounds similar to this character – “jin”.
The radical means “to walk,” and the other part of the character looks like the part of the character “to hear or listen” so the way I remember it is that you need to walk close to someone to be able to hear them speak.
The inside of the character makes it look like a person is holding another person and this shows that they are close so the definition is what it looks like.

First there is the walking radical. On the right there is also part of 听. Together this mean, if someone is close, I can HEAR them WALKING.
Alora Linehan says
近 has the walk radical and a component that looks like the one in 听, for listen. if you are close to something, you can hear it near you.
