Inner Speech and Strife Solved

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the hasty word is a sign of a restless state of consciousness. The line does not condemn speech so much as reveal that your I AM—the living awareness you identify as yourself—is not mastered by rash thoughts. When you speak in haste you are entertaining a servant of fear, a pattern learned in childhood that loyally echoes whatever insecurities you feed it. To 'delicately bring up' this servant is to reform your inner household—refining, re-educating, through steady attention—until your reactions become the son you intend, not the brat you fear. An angry man stirring strife points to a future born of inner conflict. You can reverse the momentum by claiming a higher state: I AM awareness, calm and unshakable, notices the impulse but does not yield to it; you imagine your words as gentle conductors of peace, and feel the reality of that state seeping into your chest, your throat, your nerves. In that new state, your outer world follows, and strife dissolves into harmony.
