The Sound of the Forest
The story of King Ts’ao, Prince T’ai and Master Pan Ku………………………………….
“I could hear the cuckoos sing, the leaves rustle, the hummingbirds hum, the crickets chirp, the grass blow,
the bees buzz, and the wind whisper and holler.”
“when I listened most closely, I could hear the unheard—the sound of flowers opening, the sound of the sun
warming the earth, and the sound of the grass drinking the morning dew.”
“To hear the unheard,” remarked Pan Ku, “is a necessary discipline to be a good ruler. For only when a ruler
has learned to listen closely to the people’s hearts, hearing their feelings uncommunicated, pains
unexpressed, and complaints not spoken of, can he hope to inspire confidence in his people, understand
when something is wrong, and meet the true needs of his citizens.
The demise of states comes when leaders listen only to superficial words and do not penetrate deeply into
the souls of the people to hear their true opinions, feelings, and desires.”
