Use your inner functions in a good way
A spiritual discourse on the power of speech, thought, and cultivating inner purity.
"Before you speak, you shall measure in your heart how heavy this word is."
"You reject the nectar and drink the poison. This poison will poison your inner antaḥkaraṇa."
The lecturer leads a satsang, teaching that speech should be nectar-like and that negative thoughts poison the inner being. He explains the functions of manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāra, advising control over speech and thought. Using parables like the honey bee, the story of Nārada, and two donkeys tied apart from grass, he illustrates the need for discernment, positive thinking, and original, sāttvic qualities over hybridized negativity.
