Be Wise When You Talk

The one thing all normal people possess is the ability to talk. And it’s mainly by the way you talk that others judge your personality am not referring to your diction, grammar, and tone, although these things are important . I mean essentially , what you say . Robert Louis Stevenson wrote; “Talk is our chief business in this world; and talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money: it is all profit; it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at an ague and in almost every state of health”.

This is all true, but thee is another saying that goes: “The thing most frequently opened by mistake is the human mouth” Quite often criticism only manages to throw a bad light on the critic, its also easier to criticise than to be right or to help-so most of us do it. You will improve your personality immediately if you stop it.

Another method for improving your personality fast is to stop talking your favourite subject-you-so much . Talk about the other person to that other person, and he or she will love you for it. Montaigne put it in a nutshell: “When all is summed up, a man never speaks of himself without loss: his accusations of himself are always believed; his praises never”.

When you talked to someone look straight into the face of the listener. Learn , also, to listen attentively (even if you ‘ve heard it before) again looking into the speaker’s eyes. Listen well, and you’ll be given credit for speaking well. And if you’re good listener, you will talk better.

Don’t be afraid to talk: Erasmus said that by speaking men learn to speak. Being well informed helps a lot. Your over all personality is altered and shaped by your general knowledge, your awareness of the world around you. Are you practical-minded? Can you figure things out logically? Do you read at least half as many nonfiction as fiction books? Do you make the time to listen to good music occasionally, or to worthwhile lectures? Do you know at least a little about art? The answer to these questions should be “yes” if you want a well rounded personality.

Of course , we all have our special abilities and particular fields of knowledge. However, you cant talk about these abilities or remain in the company of others who are familiar with the same fields of knowledge all the time. So try to enlarge your scope. There’s no reason to be left out of any conversations because you know absolutely nothing about the subject being discussed. Curtsey wisdom

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Here , we have the goal and the method in one. What it really means is that one must perform one’s duties with only half the mind and must keep the other half busy with the thought of God. When the work is over, one should apply the whole mind in thinking of God

This advice is extremely useful for all spiritual aspirants , and is specially so because for most of us it is difficult to get rid of worldly entanglements and to engage solely in spiritual practices in solitude. Even when we are lucky to disengage ourselves temporarily or permanently from worldly activates, our minds refuse to cooperate.  We are not able to  hold the feet of the Lord with both hands, i.e we are not able to concentrate our whole mind on God even when not engaged in worked. In such situation, the only reasonable alternative is to make the best use of our working hours. It will not do to restrict spiritual practice to japa meditation, worship or prayer alone, daily, at fixed hours, for a limited period of time. We must be able to transform every moment of our life into a spiritual one. Every one of our acts must become a consecration, and the difference between the secular and the sacred must vanish , So, one of the means of sublimating and spiritualizing every moment of our life is ‘...to do the work with one had and touch the feet of the Lord with other.

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
