Sugar-coated words used in worldly speech make one slip (spiritually), and melodious speech which accepts all viewpoints and never hurts anyone’s viewpoint makes one rise higher (spiritually)!

Without purification of worldly interactions, speech that accepts all viewpoints and does not hurt anyone's viewpoints (syadvaad vani) will not come forth.

Syadvaad (accepted by all, and accepting of all) is referred to that speech through which nothing within the body opposes. The mind does not oppose it, the intellect-chit-ego, none of them oppose it.

What is nature like? It does not allow any living being to do what it wants even to the slightest extent. But the one through whom no-one is hurt even to the slightest extent, be it through mind, speech or conduct, nature gives such a person all the authority to do what they want.

What Vyavasthit (the result of Scientific Circumstantial Evidences) says is that, ‘The stock is ready such that You (as the Self) do not have to do anything. You (as the Self) just continue Seeing. This mind-speech-body are under the control of Vyavasthit.

The One whose body, mind and speech become saiyamit (under his control), He Himself has become the absolute Self (Parmatma)!

A disciplined mind (saiyamit mun), a disciplined body (saiyamit deha) and a disciplined speech (saiyamit vani), these three will not allow You (the Self) to come out of Your own 'cave'. 'You' should just enter into Your cave. Come out to drink tea and have snacks and thereafter go back into Your cave.

It is considered as becoming free from dehadhyas (the belief that, 'I am the body') when the atmabuddhi (the intellect oriented towards the Self) Knows [realizes] the Self.

If You [the Self] remain as the Knower-Seer of all the kriya (activities of the mind-speech-body), then all the activities are in the form of galan (discharge). Bad habits and good habits are all in fact in the form of discharge.
