Silence is golden
Silence is golden
“If speech is silver, silence is gold…
when you must speak…
speak a few words….
speak sweetly and softly…
That is the way…
To reach a listener’s heart.
Words are like bullets. They can hit hard. They can cause pain and hurt to the listener that may be changeless. Words should be pleasant and appreciating. This helps the soul grow. Words are reflection of the inner self. Learning to control your speech begins at home. As humans, we are bound to make mistakes. When our community helpers and family members make mistakes, we so have the right to correct them, but that should be done with love and kindness. When words cross the line of self-respect, they depress the situation.
“Don’t mistake silence for weakness. Smart people don’t
plan big moves out loud”.
Saints and seekers have long since periodically practised the vow of silence. This helps them master their speech, that is what the reason “silence is golden”. Lots of energy that can be productively utilized is wasted in unnecessary speech. Young ones are careful observes. They tune into the energy of the words and respond to their surroundings. The cosmos is vibrating because of a sound. Imagine the vibration being unpleasant, the cosmic energy would align to that frequency causing turmoil in the mental, emotional and physical well- being of matter at all events. When god can maintain the cosmic word at a pleasant and constant intensity, we must aspire to do so as well.
“Speech is silver but silence is gold”.
