CHAPTER 66

The one that slips to speak the state of his restless mind will bear

upon himself the whole burden of repairing the tear and the injury that

he caused upon the strength of his own true self. Speech, without

restraint, causes one to drown in fatigue, misery and constant

repentance, yet, the ignorant man learns little from his past errors,

and in the ignorance of his pride, he continues to build the walls of

weakness between his way of life and his own self. He speaks more than

he can ever do, and he does as little as he knows! He wishes for more

than he can ever keep, and what he keeps, is truly what he doesn't

need! Oh, My child, it is nothing less than a tragedy, for man sees everything in the nothing and is able to see nothing in that power within him that wills to bring to him the everything!

Even if thoughts are many, one must be careful in choosing words

of expression. One must only speak to benefit the receiver and not to

unburden the chaos of fears he experiences within his own mind. Love

must be the very essence of language - if the message you deliver lacks

the warmth of love, then remember, those words are like the arrows that

will reverse their direction, once they are shot at another to pierce

your own heart and leave you maimed and handicapped from your disease

of hatefulness! Realize that if you release pain, you, My child, are bound to receive it in multi-folds! Thus, watch your every present word and you will, automatically, secure the self in the blanket of peace.

Words, themselves, are the living proof of your true inner

feelings, thus, do not foolishly justify them and delude yourself any

further. Remember, whatever you speak, reflects only the state of your

heart and mind. The fault, My child, is not in the language - it is in

what you choose to speak from it. One can be instigated to speak badly

and harshly, only when one has the evil pre-existing in him. Thus, do

not blame another, when your own latent evil tendencies awaken at the

smallest teasing to take expression. Remember, My child, within you is

the wrong - within you is its weakness - you choose to express and

deliver, and it is only you that pays its every moment by suffering in

several life times!

Remember, My sweet, haste in communication often brings disastrous results. A wise man speaks his mind, only when he is in a state of complete calmness.

Even if there is the slightest restlessness in the mind, know that its

wavering within will express itself, unexpectedly, during your attempt

to communicate. Thus, do not spend your lifetime in regret and

repentance - learn to know your own mind - and only then, will you be

able to control it. It must be pure love itself that must urge you to

speak. Never let your own desire instigate a conversation or compel

you to a harsh response. Time, My child, is the biggest healer, thus,

do not be impulsive in your speech - wait and see, if the truth in your

message can face the tests of time. If it passes in its test, then

you, My child, hold in your hands the power of the truth. The message

that holds the power of truth will be delivered rightly and instantly

to its receiver. My message to all, today, is to find the silence in your language.
