I feel it is necessary to use all 4 above-listed ways of listening in our day-to-day lives. Depending on who we are talking to and the purpose, my ways of listening change.
Every time, I listen to a beautiful and melodious song(bhajan) or a spiritual talk of my choice, I feel transported to a different space that cannot be described in words. I feel very peaceful and connected to something beyond explanation.
What helps me find myself in a state of generative listening is when I am looking for "what can I learn from this "listening" to make myself a better person".
