Amma's BEING TEACHING
"ART of Listening is art of Living"
This is Amma's teaching for the month. What is listening?
Suppose your mother in law comes and tells you, 'you are a fool'. What do you have to do? You have to simply listen - 'i am a fool'. Instead of listening simply, you have all the unnecessary thoughts like - 'Ami a fool, i have done excellent things, she is not seeing or acknowledging; what does she think of herself? Is she perfect?
She is so egoistic, cruel' - and so on. All you have to do is simply listen to that sentence. Your mind is talking inside so much that you keep on talking outside too.
Amma is asking you to see this. We are not asking you to change or transform. We are just asking you to see what is going on inside you. We just want you to see.
Unless you talk less, you cannot see. So be silent and listen; listen to others when they talk; listen to what is going on in your Mind as they talk or after they talk.
SEEING is ENOUGH for the Divine to help you.
