Try
not to use words, but if you have to, then be very choosy about them, because
each word has a nuance of its own. be very poetic about it. use it with taste,
love, feeling.
there are feeling words and
there are intellectual words. drop intellectual words more and more; use more
and more feeling words. there are political words and there are religious words.
drop political words. there are words which immediately create conflict. the
moment you utter them, argument arises. so never use logical, argumentative
language. use the language of affection, of caring, of love, so that no argument
arises. if you start speaking this way, you will see tremendous changes arising.
a single word uttered in
unconsciousness can create a long chain of misery. but if you are very alert,
many miseries can be avoided. a slight difference, just a very small turning and
it makes a lot of change. you should become very very careful and only use words
when absolutely necessary. avoid contaminated words. use fresh words,
non-controversial, which are not arguments but which are just expressions of
your feelings.
if one can become a connoisseur of
words, one's whole life will be totally different. your relationships will be
totally different because ninety-nine percent of a relationship is through
words, gestures -- and gestures are also words. the same word has created so
many troubles for you and again you blurt it out. if a word brings misery,
anger, conflict, argument, drop it. what is the point in carrying it? replace it
by something better. the best is silence; the next best is singing, poetry,
love.
