Do get to get past and pass these three gates before you get to speak!

Have you ever been left speechless?
By somebodies' words?

Have you ever taken the speech away from somebody?
Through the power of your own words?

Have you been dumbfounded at any time and have you made people dumbfounded too?

Well! we all have experienced that/those feeling(s) sometime or the other, in our lives.
What do we do when we lived through that/them?

Nothing!
As always.

Would you like to act now?
It is never too late to improve and replicate.

It's also always better to be late, than never.
So let us do just that.

Here are few pearls of wisdom that will help you kick off.

Fours things that cannot be recovered are:

* A stone... after the throw.
* An occasion... after it is gone.
* The time...after it is spent
* The word...after it is said.


To add value to the last one as recorded above, let us also dip into some simple but so true... Sufi wisdom.

It says:

Whatever you wish to speak to anybody... let it pass through three gates:
-

* The Gatekeeper at the first gate asks:-

Is it true?

* The Gatekeeper at the second gate asks:-

Is it necessary?

* The Gatekeeper at the third gate asks:-

Is it kind?

If what you wish to say to anybody, can pass through these three gates then... Say it!

Say it with zeal and a lovely smile.
All the while.
To please and to appease with ease.
To enrapture and not to rupture feelings.
As feelings are all that we have within us and they get stirred/mired through words.

Otherwise, it is better to keep silent.

As: Speech indeed is silver and silence golden.


It's only words... words are all that I have...Remember that melodious song?
