Msg for the Day

[Guest guest]

M. The silence of solitude is forced. Restrained speech in society

amounts to silence. For the man then controls his speech. If the

speaker is engaged otherwise, speech becomes restrained. Introvert

mind is otherwise active and is not anxious to speak.

 

Note : Control of the tongue in society is true silence, and thus

true self-control. The desire to speak arises in the mind, but if the

mind is engaged on a subject other than that of the conversation,

speech becomes greatly minimised. And that subject on which the mind

of the abhyasi is usually engaged is the nature of the mind itself,

that is, meditation, causing him reluctance to be drawn out by

conversation. This is natural, not enforced, mouna.
