What do you listen to while you work?

When I work, what I listen to depends on my work. If I am writing, reading, or illustrating, I prefer to be in silence. If silence isn’t available, then for some time, until my work is done, I look at the things around me as if they aren’t even there.

If I’m doing housework or work to keep my mind away from stress, then I listen to music. I don’t like loud music; I prefer soft music that can help my mood while working, because this kind of work can be done that way.

A calm mind narrates the complete story,
When listening, it speaks with understanding.
Sometimes it takes the support of silence, and sometimes a tune.
For doing work, it relies on its own support.

शांत मन पूरी कहानी कहता है,
सुनने पर समझदारी की बात करता है।
कभी शांत तो कभी धुन का सहारा लेता है,
काम करने का काम अपना ही सहारा लेता है।
