To be free from waste words is to ensure easy success. The one who wastes time and energy in gossip or slander has no time for success. All attention is focused on picking out the mistakes and the negativity of others and so there is no attention on learning new things or picking out the positive. So there is negativity visible in one's own attitude, words and actions. When we are able to free ourselves from waste and negative words, we are able to use the resource of our words in a positive and useful way. Our words would be filled with the power of positivity and faith, faith in the self and faith in others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
