achchhā giro matayo devayantīĥ
Our words are thoughts seeking for godhead.
The earnest seeker knows that speech is power and he is careful
not to waste it in unnecessary talk or in exercises not relevant
to his central purpose in life. He conserves the speech-energy for
higher use. The more he is sparing in speech, the greater the
power his words acquire. Words become vibrant with a deeper
quality and in time tend to effectuate themselves. They are
vehicles for the growing aspiration within for the Divine; they
embody the flame and intensity of the heart’s seeking and at their
best become veritable mantras capable of communicating the
same state of consciousness to others.
