Words inspire, provoke and provide solace to the mind. Words can have a powerful positive effect on the world we live in or they can have the direct opposite effect. Becoming aware of our actions brings us to a state of heightened awareness, a place of bliss for some. Becoming aware and choosing our words wisely can be the first step in this awareness practice. While it may not be practical for most of us to practice silence in observance of this awareness, it is practical to choose your words wisely. Simply ask yourself before speaking whether your words are truthful, kind, necessary. A profound practice of its own that may bring you closer to the reality of Samadhi.
