🧩 Title: “Hearing is a Sacred Poverty”Label: Receptivity as Renunciation
∴ Core Idea Unit
To truly listen, one must renounce the will to shape, frame, or impress. Listening becomes a sacred act of emptiness—a yielding that opens the self to unmediated presence. This is not silence as absence, but as sanctified capacity.
