Art of listening - 2

There are several variants of rogue listeners and it would delight me if a passer-by here adds to the list below. However, a real treasure in today’s noisy world is the more evolved listener. There are two. One is the type who listens with all his faculties. His/her whole being is attentive to the narration. However, on the path to listenlightenment, the freshman, in his/her mind or heart will internally be reacting to what is being spoken. The guru on the other hand listens completely, without even reacting within. S/he is wholistically imbibing all that is spoken. That’s listening.
