Use your inner functions in a good way
Speech should be nectar, not poison.
Before speaking, measure each word's weight in your heart. Let your words be sweet honey. Your intellect, like a bee, collects from all experiences without discrimination. You choose whether to collect nectar or poison. Poisonous thoughts spoil your inner being: mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego. Negative words and jealousy compact your consciousness with toxic smoke. This imbalance creates a psychic indigestion, manifesting as a foul inner state. Control your speech. In emotional moments, wait before reacting. Words spoken from the tip of the tongue burn others and reflect in your karma. Do not use harsh words for small misunderstandings. Many who practice yoga remain aggressive and jealous because they lack true understanding. Be like a tree, offering selfless service without aggression. Cultivate the nectar of wisdom and love in your heart. For one week, try to think positively of everyone. Understand the pain of all sides in conflict. Purify your inner faculties to produce only nectar.
"Before you speak, you shall measure in your heart how heavy this word is."
"As long as you did not speak, you were the wise one, and when you say one word, you are the stupid one."
