00:00Many a times I face the issue, the urge to tell that in between a conversation, so how to be
00:07a good listener.
00:08You see, one listens not for the sake of discipline, but for the sake of dignity.
00:15If I am to respond to you, will I not look foolish if I respond without understanding your question?
00:24I think I like patience.
00:26So, lack of patience can sometimes come from fear.
00:32See, when there are two soldiers in front of each other, would they be patient?
00:38In fact, they would prefer to shoot before the other does, right?
00:43Because they are afraid.
00:45Before he shoots, let me finish him off.
00:48If I know where I am coming from, why should I be afraid?
00:51And if I am not afraid, I can be patient.
00:54But if I know the position I am holding is just superficial belief, very vulnerable, very fragile, then I will
01:02be afraid and therefore impatient.
01:04Because you know you are coming from a fragile position and you will be hurt.
01:09Therefore, to avoid that hurt, you don't want questions.
01:12You don't want conversations.
01:14You don't want arguments.
01:15The one who is coming from a place of internal clarity will enjoy conversations, will enjoy questions.
01:24It takes care of your dignity, your response.
01:27It takes care of things that are not to be said.
01:31The other hand.
01:33It takes care of things that are not to be said.
01:33It takes care of things that are not to you, because you are realized how significant to an executive side
01:34of life is there.
01:34It takes care of things that are not to be said.
