Art of listening

Let's understand art of listening. Listening is also a fine skill. Nowadays we listen to reply, we don't listen to understand.
By listening intentively we increase the capacity of our brain, our strength and decision making power. We  learn to respond. That's why in those days, we had fabels , fairytale, Grandma's bedtime stories.
Last year I was fortunate to attend Rev, Shradhey's  " shravan dhyan"  skill of how to listen at DSVV. I'm sharing certain things about listening skills.
Listening= Eating.
Assimilating,= digesting ( Manan karna) that gets into blood
When speaker and listener are with same mental level, then listening happens. It's very difficult to be a good listener. Speaker, mother goddess Parvathi. Listener Shiva.
When ego strikes, we are unable to listen good things. In front of egoistic listener, the honour and hardship of speaker is devalued.
Listening is cognitive processing, to establish within, just like Shakti path, then persue, and perceive.

 In children, by inculcating listening habit, imagination increases. Listening can be made more interesting by speaker's voice modulation and expressive gestures.

 Let's understand the listening skill through a story.
Once there lived a zamindar, in a village. One day as he was going around his field looking after the work done by Farmers and other workers, he found his wrist watch that he wore was missing. Everyone left their job they were doing and started searching for the watch. Hours went by , but couldn't find it. When it was evening, a Farmer's son came in search of his father and saw people busy and asked what has gone wrong. They told him  our master's wrist watch is lost, and we couldn't find it. We are still searching.
All of a sudden the boy asked the master" where were you standing last when you saw your watch is lost? I was standing near hay stack and talking to all." The boy went near the hay stack, people told him " we have already searched over there." The boy asked everyone to make pin drop silence. And sat near the stack , after sometime he put  his hands inside the stack and with a long search he brought out the wrist watch at the astonishment of others. He told everyone, when I asked all to be silent , I heard the ticking of this watch, by listening to it my intuition worked, and I found the watch.
Now we all can understand the power of listening. 🙏🙏
