The power of speech

In the age of technologies and gadgets gradually we are losing our communication. In this current age we are only connected with the people, but not communicating with them. Connectivity and Communication both are different thing, we are a 24x7 connected with the people but no communication at all.

Dealing with the machines we have lost our real consciousness and became machine consciousness. In the survey also it is found if we are dealing more than required time with machines we become dry and we cannot deal in a proper way with the living entities.

Today everything is going to be less phone become cordless, internet become wireless, foods become hotel less and relation become emotionless.

In the current age, we have lots of time to spend with our gadgets, but no time with people, the reason we are motionless and we have no care our relationship with others.

Day by day we are becoming depressed and frustrated and if we talk to someone there is no flavor in it, it is dry. We don't care about our speech, whether it hurts someone or please.

Previously, people used to think before they speak something, but nowadays people speak anything and do think after all.

If we are not in relations and spending our lives with machines definitely we are going to be machined only. For small-small things we fight with each others and we try to prove ourselves better than others. We have no control on our tongue, we have lost the respect of elders.

Actually, some people think this is an advancement, but that is not. Being arrogant and agitating others if we speak in that way is not the modern culture.

In B.G. Chapter 17.15, Lord Krishna has already stated, how a person should speak.

अनुद्वेगकरं वाक्यं सत्यं प्रियहितं च यत् ।
स्वाध्यायाभ्यसनं चैव वाङ्‍मयं तप उच्यते ॥ १५ ॥

Austerity of speech consists in speaking words that are truthful, pleasing, beneficial, and not agitating to others, and also in regularly reciting Vedic literature.

One should not speak in such a way as to agitate the minds of others. Of course, when a teacher speaks, he can speak the truth for the instruction of his students, but such a teacher should not speak to those who are not his students if he will agitate their minds. This is penance as far as talking is concerned. Besides that, one should not talk nonsense. The process of speaking in spiritual circles is to say something upheld by the scriptures. One should at once quote from scriptural authority to back up what he is saying. At the same time, such talk should be very pleasurable to the ear. By such discussions, one may derive the highest benefit and elevate human society. There is a limitless stock of Vedic literature, and one should study this. This is called penance of speech.
