PSI Translation paragraph

ಮಾದರಿ ಭಾಷಾಂತರ 

ಕೇಳುವ ಕಲೆ ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆಸಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗುವಿದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅನುಭವಿ ಜನರ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯದ ಪ್ರಕಾರ, ಕಲಾತ್ಮಕವಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುವದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಇದು ತುಂಬ ಕಷ್ಟಕರವಾದ ಕೆಲಸ. ಒಬ್ಬ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞಾಪೂರ್ವಕ ಕೇಳುಗನಾಗಲು ಬಯಸುತ್ತಿರುವವನು ಎಲ್ಲದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಮೊದಲಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಂತ ಕಹಳೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊರಹಾಕದ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ಹೊಂದಿರಬೇಕು. ಅವನು ಪ್ರಚೋದನೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಹೊಂದಿರಬೇಕು ಹಾಗು ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸಬೇಕು. ಅಂದರೆ, ತನ್ನ ಉತ್ಸಾಹದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನು ತಾನು ಅಳವಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡ ಪಾತ್ರವನ್ನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಮರೆಯಬಾರದು ಮತ್ತು ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಂತ ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆಲೋಚನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ತೆರಳಿ ತನ್ನ ಅಂತರ್ಗತ ಕಡುಬಯಕೆ ಮೂಲಕ ಸ್ವತಃ ಬಲಿಪಶುವಾಗಿರಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಡಬಾರದು. ಈ ಅಮಾನುಷವನ್ನು ಅವನು ಅರಿಯದೆ ಯಾವ ಕ್ಷಣ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೋ, ಅವನು ಆದರ್ಶ ಕೇಳುಗನಾಗಿ ಉಳಿಯುವದಿಲ್ಲ. ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆಯ ಉದ್ದಕ್ಕೂ ಅವರು ನಿಷ್ಕ್ರಿಯ ಸ್ವೀಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ವಾಕ್ಚಾತುರ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲದ ಒಪ್ಪಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಮೋದಿಸಬೇಕು.
