MESSAGE #730 - DEEP LISTENING

When a man
whose marriage
was in trouble
sought his advice,
the Master said,
“You must learn
to listen to your wife.”
The man took
this advice to heart
and returned
after a month to say
he had learned
to listen to every word
his wife was saying.
Said the Master
with a smile,
“Now go home
and listen
to every word
she isn’t saying.”
