How should I listen?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Listen with both eyes open and closed, for each offers a unique experience; together they create the banks of your life-river, guiding you in the dance of existence."
According to Osho, listen by fluidly shifting between eyes open and eyes closed. Each mode gives a distinct, valid experience; together they form the two banks between which your life-river flows. Trust the heart’s moment-to-moment pull: sometimes remain open-eyed to be absorbed, sometimes close the eyes to go inward. Both ways are right, necessary, and complementary.
Switch between listening with eyes open and closed, following what feels right now; both help you take in the message.
