HEARING OTHERS - is not easy.

Hearing others - is not easy
 
 

Speech is one of the most common method of communication. We like to talk, we like to put forward our thoughts, we like to share our internal dialogues. We like to be heard, we want people to pay attention to us. But when we are obsessed with the thought of being heard always then its very difficult for us to hear from others. Krishna Consciousness is more about hearing than speaking. Its about hearing Hari Kirtan, its about hearing Harikatha, Its about hearing others glories, its about hearing our own faults and acting upon them. We may relish hearing some instructions from senior devotees, we may even like hearing something from friends and fellow devotees but its too tough to make ourselves ready to hear from junior devotees. If we are ready to hear the acceptable facts of Krishna

Consciousness from all available sources, then that's the true sign of advancement on the path of devotional service. That's why, to have a taste for hearing is very good but if we have a real taste for hearing then we will not mind hearing krishna katha even from our juniors who are properly following in the foot steps of Guru Parampara.
