I hope that you will listen, but not with the memory of what you already know. You listen to something, and your mind immediately reacts with its knowledge, its conclusions, its opinions, its past memories. It listens, inquiring for a future understanding. Just observe yourself, how you are listening, and you will see that this is what is taking place. Either you are listening with a conclusion, with knowledge, with certain memories, or you want an answer, and you are impatient. You want to know what it is all about. You are not actually listening at all
