Listen Again

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Listen again, O mighty-armed Arjuna. Because you are My dear friend, for your benefit I shall speak to you further, giving knowledge that is better than what I have already explained.” Bhagavad-gita 10.1

My verse of the week is from Chapter 10 of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is. “Listen again,” Krishna says. It’s a beautiful thing, this listening, this calling one closer. Come, He says, I have something even better to tell you.

To listen to Krishna is one of the most important and influential things we can do with our time. He will reveal everything if we lean in and listen, honestly and with openness to learn. The ability to listen is the practice of humility. Not only do we acknowledge we have more to learn, but we receive the other as our teacher.
