Many of us indulge in talking much.We can talk from morning till evening. More than three quarters of what is said are actually of no particular use.We feel like hearing the sound of our own voice,talk to keep good company, malign or gossip about other people especially when they are not present,or just talk for the sake of talking!
Can these be of any benefit to us? NO. Is talk free? NO. Are there consequences for much talk? CERTAINLY there are and many too!
Since humanity has lost its sense of decency the bad habit of much talk has developed into a plague that now oppresses us.We are consequently under the leadership of great talkers who deceive us when we are about to make purchases, vote for political office holders and even lead us as spiritual highwaymen unto wrong paths when it is a matter of the most important issue of all- our spiritual ascent.
Talkers need to reflect. How do you feel after indulging in your "important" habit? Can you not see how heavy and unsettled you feel afterwards? Can we not try the power contained in silence for only one day to see the difference between a life of loquaciousness and that of dignified silence?
We should remind ourselves of the great words LET YOUR YES BE YES AND YOUR NO BE NO. The ability to form words is like other abilities bestowed on us a great gift from our Maker. We cannot afford the consequences of trifling with such a gift. Consequences include reaping sadness and depression, getting confused , lacking in focus and some even at the extreme lose their minds.
Silence on the other hand allows us to listen within,keep our thoughts pure, gather spiritual strength necessary for our ascent, and more easily attain the goals of peace and happiness.
