Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Theist Ji, I searched in the Cambridge dictionary to find that listening means hearing attentively. Here's the definition: 1) hear (RECEIVE SOUND) [show phonetics] verb [i or T] heard, heard to receive or become aware of a sound using your ears: 2) listen [show phonetics] verb to give attention to someone or something in order to hear them: Hare Krishna!
