When a man whose marriage was in trouble sought his advice, the Master said. “You must learn to listen to your wife.”
The man took this advice to heart and returned after a month to say that he had learnt to listen to every word his wife was saying.
Said the Master with a smile, “Now go home and listen to every word she isn’t saying.”
