I know you can hear, there is no trouble about it; but you cannot listen.
Listening is totally different from hearing.
Listening means hearing without mind; listening means hearing without any interference of your thoughts; listening means hearing as if you are totally empty.
If you have even a small trembling of thinking inside, waves of subtle thoughts surrounding you, you will not be able to listen, although you will be able to hear.
And to listen to the music, the ancient music, the eternal music, one needs to be totally quiet, as if one is not.
When you are, you can hear; when you are not, you can listen.
