You have had a conversation with someone of just a few words, but you would continue to speak about that for another half an hour. You speak too many words then. If you can do something by just speaking four words then don't speak ten to fifteen words. You have a slogan: Speak less and speak softly.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Those who beg can never become complete. You may not ask for anything else, you may not say anything else, but you beg a lot in a royal way. The royal form of begging is, that you earn a temporary name for yourself that you are given some regard, that your name is listed. But whilst you are a beggar, you cannot become complete with the treasures of happiness. To chase after your desires or the things that you ask for is like chasing after a mirage. Constantly keep yourself safe from this. .
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Speaking loudly is to disturb others. Don't say," My voice is like that." You can become the conquerors of Maya and yet you can't become the conqueror of your own voice! So don't speak wasteful words or words that disturb others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
