Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 So Says Sai The first step in spiritual discipline (sadhana) is the cleansing of the speech. Talk sweet without anger. Do not boast of your scholarship or attainments. Be humble, eager to serve; conserve your speech; practice silence. That will save you from squabbles, frittering thoughts and faction. When the heart is free from agitation, the tongue is dumb and the ear has rest. You are where your mind is, not where your body rests. You should not attach so much importance to the language you speak. It is the meaning that is important, the feelings you express, the behavior you adopt. The language of the heart is expressed through sympathy, kindness, service, love, brotherliness. That is the language that really matters; that language can be understood by every one.
