4. CONFIDENT SPEECH:
Unconfident speech means words full of doubts and apprehension whereas convincing speech means to speak unambiguously, with clarity that conveys the desired meaning. Confident and clear precepts are accepted by disciples as they help them in learning the secrets from the scriptures. Thus by following the advice given in them, they progress spiritually. Hence, Ācārya never speaks apprehensively.
Achāraya speech should be humble, unbiased and acceptable to all.
