Guard Your Tongue Within

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you: the I AM that you are remains undisturbed when your tongue is trained to be quiet. Speech is not mere sound but a manifestation of your inner state. When you insist on saying what you think, you spread a vibration that contradicts your desired harmony; when you choose silence, you align with the divine awareness that clothes your life in order. The meekness of the mind is not weakness but a posture of readiness, letting wisdom ripple through you rather than erupt from you. The one who guards his words lives from a state of wholeness; he does not feed the outer world with turbulence because he refuses to feed his inner world with pride. The proud scorner, in contrast, reveals a turbulent inner room, a mind convinced of its own rightness, generating wrath as if it were a rightful expression. Observe: you can revise any moment of irritation into a calm acceptance, and let the inner realm do its work unseen, until your outer world reflects that inner quiet.
