Silence is the language of the realised Soul

[Guest guest]

Practice moderation in speech. That will help you in many ways. It will

develop Prema (Love), for most misunderstandings and factions 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 to four big errors - uttering falsehood,

scandalising, finding fault with others, and excessive articulation. These have

to be avoided if there has to be Shanthi (Peace) for the individual as well as

for the society. The bond of brotherhood will be tightened if people speak less

and speak sweet. You are all spiritual aspirants at various stages of the road

and mounam (Silence) as a discipline will be valuable for you.
