Where we are when it comes TO LIstening In Our Life?
We really never never listen at all in our life.
When your spouse speaks or when your boss talks to you or when your friend is talking to you. See exactly what you are doing. You are not listening. You are preparing your answer to them. Even before they start talking, you are preparing your answer. That is why your answer never matches their question – because you never heard the question!
At the most you do little stitching and tailoring for that question. Courage to respond spontaneously, to respond to all the situations and patience to listen is called practicing right Listening. For practicing right Listening you need right courage. You need to have patience. First thing you need to have courage that you can respond spontaneously and you need to have patience, deep patience.
What Is Listening ?
"Allowing the words to enter in your inner space automatically, letting them cognize without you constantly interfering with your incompletions" , is listening. you have a natural system, natural flow of your being. Your being is not static. Your being is naturally programmed to imbibe, cognize, internalise. allowing the words to enter into your being naturally & allowing the natural cognition process without you interfering with your incompletions is listening.
