Talk is a way of expressing your feelings to other.
Talk helps convey your intent and get other persons consent. Your talk has to
be meaningful, truthful, pleasant and beneficial. Talking is an art it is never
to be taken light. If one is not capable of talking properly it is better for
him to remain silent and avoid catastrophe.
Does talking cause harm?? No, it is not talking that
cause harm it is the way of putting it which needs greater skill. You have to
be conscious and alert while talking and anticipate and be aware of the
consequences that may unfold. There are unwanted talks which might sometimes
put you in trouble. The most common among them is talking under the influence
of emotion. Intellect (Buddhi) is veiled when you are carried away by emotions
(Bhava paravasha). There is no leash to control the tongue hence wrong and improper
words shoot out. You may later on feel sorry for uttering those words, but they
are already out and done a lot of damage.
Another unfortunate way of using your talk is to
argue. An argument pushes you from the height. Ego pours in the necessary fuel
for the argument. Sometimes a casual discussion can lead to arguments, you have
experienced even in spiritual forums also. You have to keep in mind that it is
a silly argument that causes a dent in serious relationship. If you respect the
relationship more you will never argue even if you are right. Likewise if you
intend to thread spiritual path, please avoid arguments it does help a lot.
More often out of excitement you need a person to
talk and pour out all that you have in your mind and heart. So you choose a
person with whom you may talk endlessly and the excitement in you make you so
preoccupied that you fail to ask the person if he has time to listen to your
talk or even if he is interested or not in your talks. You have to talk to a
person and pause for few seconds let him respond to your talk, it is a way of
getting his opinion also.
A lot of trouble in the world would disappear if
people talk to each other instead of talking “about” each other. Talking to
each other is a means of communication while talking “about” each other is
gossiping. Gossiping happens when in group and only if there is no important
work. If you value your inner Self and perceive all as equal, you must have to
avoid such groups. Gossiping about others get you nothing at all expect waste
of your valuable energy and time.
How to avoid all these unwanted talks???
Remain SILENT as silence is GOLD.
By remaining silent the quantity of talking reduces
and at the same time quality of talk will improve.
How to remain SILENT???
Remaining silent does not mean holding back what needs to be expressed.....if I do that I am a selfish hypocrite ...........what say???
