Bhagawan says :
1. The tongue is the armour of the heart; it guards one's life. Loud and
irresponsible speech, full of anger and hate, affects the health of man. It
breeds anger and hate in others. Silence is said to be golden. The silent man
has no enemies, though he may not have many friends either. He has the
opportunity to dive within himself and examine his own faults and failings. He
has no more inclination to seek them in others. If your foot slips, you suffer
a fracture; if your tongue slips, you fracture some one's faith or joy. That
fracture can never be set right; that wound will fester for ever. Therefore,
use the tongue with great care. The softer your speech, the lesser you talk,
the sweeter you talk, the better the world will be.
2. Many of you have problems of health or mental worry of some sort or other.
They are mere baits by which you have been brought here, so that you may
contact the Grace and strengthen your faith in the Divine. Problems and worry
are really to be welcomed as they teach you the lessons of humility and
reverence.

Sai Ram
There are two truths that must be accepted by every devotee:
1. Devotion has to be full, free and comprehensive.
2. Divinity must be conceived as full, free and comprehensive.
God is ignored in sunshine, He is wanted only when there is night. Devotion
must persist and flourish, unaffected by time, place or circumstance. God too
has to be experienced in His fullness, and the Aanandha of that experience made
one's permanent possession.
- From Bhagawan's 1974 Onam Divine Discourse.
