Day before yesterday I wrote about situations in which you think it would make another person happy if you did not say the truth. I forgot to write about one option which is often a very good solution in difficult situations: silence. It is good to be in silence, I said many times that I prefer the silence.
Maybe I have also written the following Sutra already some day: Maunam Sarvarth Sadhanam. It means ‘Silence is the key for everything’.
Actually, many difficult situations are created only by talking too much. I have experienced on several occasions that people got into predicaments just because they couldn’t stop talking. There are people who just cannot stand the silence and need some topic to talk about, no matter what! And afterwards they often regret that they said something. They talk about things they don’t understand or things that are not their business and often give their advice.
I have seen often how some words, which were said with no wrong intention but also without much of a meaning, created a drama which was really unnecessary and the person who had said it was reaffirming again and again: ‘I didn’t mean it! Really, I was talking without thinking!’ So you see, silence would be the key for these problems because they would not even be created. Save your energy, don’t talk without a reason. I assure you that it will be good for you.

felt a lot of what you wrote about silence and its inner gift there in mauna beeing in golden city at the oneness university in golden city.First day we came, lot of us asking what to do, when does it start, what’s the first step…and than we were told. Just put yourself to bed, don’t read, don’t listen
don’t do anything…just look at the ceiling
and relax. Slowly omething between the words, between the vioces, between all out thoughts began to appear
those who speak do not know…those who practice silence hear the most beautiful songs.
A man of few words will rarely be thoughtless in his speech; he will measure every word….Gandhi
Wow, I never thought of it this way, but that’s very true. We can talk our way into situations and problems that we never intended. I am going to practice silence before I speak so that I know that I truly mean what I’m going to say with all my heart!
