“Silence”
is our gift…
Do not indulge in arguments and disputes; one who clamours aloud has not grasped the Truth. Silence is the only language of the realised. Practice moderation in speech that will help you in many ways. It will develop Love, for most misunderstandings arise out of carelessly spoken words. When the foot slips, the wound can be healed; but when the tongue slips, the wound it causes in the heart of another will fester for life.
The tongue is liable for four big errors: uttering falsehood, scandalising, finding fault with others and excessive talk. These must be avoided if there must be peace for the individual. The bond of brotherhood will be tightened if people speak less and speak sweetly. That is why silence was prescribed as a vow for spiritual aspirants by the Scriptures. As spiritual aspirants in various stages of the road, this discipline will be very valuable for you.
