Amma always says that anger is like a double edged sword, grievously harming the one who is angry and the one who it is directed against. Words spoken with a hint of darkness have exactly the same effect. And I am glad that Amma presides over the power of speech, for then She ensures that what we speak is carefully thought out and does not hold the power to hurt anyone. Once a word leaves us, it is like an arrow on a deadly path. When it finds its mark, it can easily maim. Which is why we need to utter Amma's name before we say anything to anyone. And never, ever speak when angry. These are all words of wisdom from Amma who knows just how to soothe with Her words. Amma will never harm anyone with what She says or does. Amma could never ever have even one bad thought. Amma's thoughts are always in the realm of the wondrous wherein each word is like a miracle medicine healing every wound given to us by life. Amma's voice in itself is so beautiful. It has a quality to it unheard of in anyone else. Amma, my beautiful, beautiful Mother: please give us the grace to have control over our speech so that we can never, ever hurt anyone with it.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
