There are times in life when we speak from a place of sincerity — hoping to help, explain, or guide someone we care about. We choose our words carefully, speak with kindness, and offer genuine wisdom. But instead of being received with the same openness, our words are ignored, dismissed, or misunderstood. The person may see us as stubborn or overbearing, and despite our best efforts, they simply don’t grasp what we’re trying to say.
In such situations, continuing to speak only drains us. It becomes a fruitless effort — a misuse of our time, our peace, and our inner energy.
At that moment, silence is not just better — it is wiser.
There’s no virtue in speaking where words carry no weight. It’s like pouring water into a vessel that cannot hold it.
On the other hand, there are people who are deeply humble and simple at heart. With them, the language of the soul is enough. A mere look — a glance filled with meaning — is enough for them to realize a mistake. They not only understand but accept their fault with grace, often expressing silent apology through their eyes, without a single word spoken.
These two extremes reveal a powerful spiritual truth:
Speak only when necessary. In all other times, choose silence.
In today’s world, where noise surrounds us and opinions flow freely, silence can feel unnatural — even uncomfortable. But true seekers know that silence is not emptiness; it is presence. It is where reflection deepens, clarity arises, and the divine voice is heard.
Instead of spending energy on conversations that lead nowhere, let us conserve that energy and redirect it inward — toward the remembrance of our Shri Sadguru, toward chanting His sacred Holy Naam, or simply dwelling in His thoughts. In silence, we are never alone. We are in the company of the Eternal.
Why speak to the world, when the soul longs to listen to the Divine?
Let your silence be full of meaning. Let your silence become your prayer.
