The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There was a king who when a certain problem was brought to him by his ministers, used to say, "Read it again"; and the minister would read it again. Maybe after four Lines he would stop him and say, "Read it again", and the minister would do so. And after he had heard it three times, his answer would be perfect. But what do we sometimes do when we converse with people? Before the conversation has stopped, we have answered them. So impatient are we, and eager to answer and excited about it, that only one in a hundred people stops to listen to what another has to say.
