In the second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna makes a profound statement: some people see the Self with great wonder; some speak about it with awe; others listen to it with amazement, while some still do not understand even after listening.
At the end of His conversation with Arjuna, the Lord declares, "Anyone who reverently hears this conversation will become free and shall attain the blessed worlds of the virtuous."
Much of what we learn in life comes from listening. As children, we listened to our parents and teachers, and later we continued our education by learning from experts in our fields.
On the path to spiritual growth, "listening with attention" to the Guru, who imparts knowledge of the Self, is of utmost importance. Even the Lord Himself asks Arjuna if he has listened attentively and whether the delusion he previously had about his duty has been dispelled.
