Once one can claim to have heard something, one stops listening, even when one cannot make sense of what is heard or not heard accurately. In this manner, one can keep one listening until one dies and still does not hear anything. This is the case at many temples, my dear lay followers.

Seeing, looking, knowing and studying have similar qualities.
