Cleansing of the Speech

"The first step in sadhana is the cleansing of the speech.

Speak sweetly without anger.

Do not boast of your scholarship or attainments.

Be humble, eager to serve.

Conserve your speech.  Practise silence.

That will save you from squabbles and from

frittering away your time."
