Inaudible sounds

A king had his son studied in the temple of a great Master, in order to prepare him to be a great person. When the prince arrived at the temple, the Master sent him alone into a forest. He was to return a year later, with the task of describing all the sounds of the forest. When the prince returned to the temple after a year, the Master asked him to describe all the sounds he had been able to hear.
Then said the prince,
"Master, I could hear the singing of the birds, the noise of the leaves, the humming of the hummingbirds, the breeze on the grass, the buzz of the bees, the sound of the wind cutting the skies ...
And at the end of his account, the Master asked the prince to return to the forest, to hear as much as possible. Though intrigued, the prince obeyed the Master's command, thinking, "I do not understand, I have already distinguished all the sounds of the forest.
For days and nights he was alone listening, listening, listening ... but he could not distinguish anything new beyond what he had told Master. But one morning he began to distinguish vague sounds, unlike anything he had heard before. And the more he paid attention, the clearer the sounds became. A sense of enchantment took over the boy. He thought: "These must be the sounds that Master wanted me to hear ..."
     And without haste, he stood listening and listening patiently. He wanted to make sure he was on the right track. When he returned to the temple, the Master asked him what else he could hear. Patiently and respectfully the prince said:
- Master, when I listened I could hear the inaudible sound of the flowers opening, the sound of the sun rising and warming the earth and the grass drinking the dew of the night ...
The Master smiled, nodded in approval, and said,
To hear the inaudible is to have the calmness necessary to become a great person. Only when one learns to listen to people's hearts, their mute feelings, their unconfessed fears and their silent complaints, can a person inspire confidence around them; Understand what is wrong and meet the real needs of each.
