What is the way to attain right listening?

Listen as if your life depends on each word, with your whole being engaged; only then can you truly hear.

— Osho
According to Osho, right listening arises from total absorption: listen as if your life depends on each word, with your whole body an ear, as if this is the last moment. Suspend all thinking, comparisons, and prior opinions; don’t decide for or against. Tell the mind to keep quiet; first listen completely. Reflection, if needed, comes later and often becomes unnecessary.

Listen with your whole attention and a quiet mind, without judging or comparing, as if it’s your last chance to hear.
