Talking expends a lot of energy.

The tongue was given to be used for two purposes.

To taste and enjoy food.

Which is needed to keep the body healthy,

To constantly recite the name of the Lord.

But today, the tongue is used

To slander one and hurt others.

It is being used more to indulge in vicious gossip.

To argue, to abuse and to lie,

To sit and have meaningless conversations.

To criticise even God.

Why are you constantly persisting

In humiliating your true self?

Observe silence,

And you will find

That silence itself speaks a language.

The language of eyes that are peaceful.

The language of your smile that is content

Do not exhaust yourselves by talking.

Every sentence spoken

Leads to a series of other thoughts.

Several thoughts crowd your mind,

Leaving you restless and energyless.

This releases only negative energy around you.

This affects your practice of spirituality.

Remember all the spiritual sadhanas

Will be in vain if the tongue is not controlled.

Do not respond to:

1. Others criticism.

2. Ab abuse.

3. A personal attach made on you. Observe silence, chant My name and

let Karma itself be its response.
