Listen To God Speaking

“Everyone Is God Speaking. Why not be polite and Listen to Him”
-- Hafiz - Sufi Poet

“……listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant. They too have their story.”
-- Max Ehrmann

Sometimes it is difficult to listen to others. Perhaps we feel too busy to take the time to listen. We may, at times, feel needy and just want others to listen to us. There may be times when we feel that the one speaking has nothing worthwhile to say. Remember that we are all connected to each other and all connected to the Universe. Hafiz said “Everyone is God speaking” That includes the teenager with the strange haircut. It includes the man down the street with the differing political views, the irritating neighbor, the questionable employee, and the little child that frequently interrupts you. “They too have their story.”

Learn to silence your thoughts as well as your words long enough to hear what others have to say. If you really listen you are paying respect to someone who has a connection to God - The Universe - Source. You may receive surprising new insights if you listen with a receptive attitude. These insights may help you in day to day life as well as your spiritual growth.
