It is a fountain of nspiration for our spiritual as well our mundane developments.
If you learn the art of speaking to the point, you will attain spiritual beauty. Brevity in speech conduces to the beauty of the soul
As long as you keep talking, Ilfe will not prove congenial to your spiritual pursuits and you can never achieve the firmness of the inner soul.
Speech is not necessary to attain perfection in Sadhana. We can realise and visualise the highest state of existence only in silence. In this state, non-violence, naturally gets established and our activities become pervaded with love. On account of this attraction for lofty thoughts, our ignoble thoughts get annihilated.
The words of the Paramatma possess a miraculous efficacy. While hearing his words you would forget hunger and thirst. Wherever the Paramatma moves about, even the violent and wild creatures of the area become transformed into non-violent beings. This is the effect of the Paramanus of lofty thoughts.
A sadhu lived in a village. He was an excellent Sadhaka and had conquered his senses totally. For the most part, he used to be silent The people of the village entreated him to say something The Sadhu spoke out thus, "I have nothing to say." The Chaturmas arrived. The people again entreated him to deliver a discourse for their spiritual enlightenment. When he was thus entreated by the people, he decided to say something. He felt that he should comply with their request. The sadhu was absorbed in his endeavours. His mode of life itself communicated his message.
The Sadhu sang a hymn of invocation. The people had been desirous of hearing a discourse for many days.
