A SILENT MAN HAS NO ENEMIES.

A silent man has no enemy

A tongue is the armour of the heart; it guards one’s life. Loud talk, long talk, wild talk, talks full of anger and hatred- all these affect the health of man. The breed anger and hate in others; they wound, they excite; they enrage; they estrange. Why is silence said to be golden? Speech is produced cheaply. It has a high value. It can elevate as well as demean man.

           Listening to a speech, a zero can rise into a hero or a hero can collapse into a zero. Talking lovingly and softly to the others is the need of the present time. It must be true and sweet, not feeble and pleasant. A silent man has no enemies, though he may not have friends. He has the leisure and the chance to dive within himself and examine his own faults and failings.

          Man must endeavour to acquire speech untouched by subterfuge, limbs untouched by cruelty, hands free from violence, and thoughts free from vengefulness. The language of the man can inspire or plant despair. If your foot slips, you suffer a fracture; if your tongue slips, you fracture someone’s faith and trust. That fracture can never be set right, that wound will fester forever. Therefore use the tongue or the language with utmost care.

              Frenzy, fanaticism and gusts of anger have to be controlled, for they lead to disasters whose range is beyond calculation. By constant practice, these can also resort to the vow of silence. The mind too must desist from wandering when the tongue is desisting from talking. Otherwise, the vow cannot be fruitful.

             

Be conscious that every word we utter or hear will leave an impression on our consciousness and provoke reactions that may or may not be beneficial. This is the reason as to why the company of God and godly people is to be sought. The softer, lesser and sweeter you talk, the better it is for you and the world.
