Fasting from food deprives your body, Of energy to function. Fasting from action of duty, Deprives your mind to rest. What I ask you to fast is to fast words. Observe silence And you will speak the strongest language of all. A single word uttered, Leads to a multitude of thoughts. Too many words, Leads to too many thoughts. These causes chaos, restlessness And spiritual, mental and physical fatigue. Talking can cause even more pain and stress, Than a tedious physical action. A pure mind is a mind with no thoughts. A pure heart is that which knows only love. A pure language is that of silence.
From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan
