The tongue must be sanctified by the repetition of the Names of the Lord. It must also be used to use sweet expressions which will spread contentment and joy. Be very careful about your speech. Animals have horns, insects have stings, beasts have claws and fangs, but man's biggest weapon of offence is his tongue. The wounds that the tongue can inflict can scarcely be healed; they fester in the heart for long. They are more capable of damage than even an atom bomb. The name has much efficacy. Use the tongue to repeat the Name of the Lord and His attributes.

- Divine Discourse, July 29, 1964.

Practice detachment, little by litte, day by day. - Baba
