Gayan 401 - Chala 80 - The truth, sincerely spoken, must certainly
calm the heart of the listener.
For with love, harmony comes, beauty comes, rhythm, light and life
come. It seems that all that is good and beautiful and worth attaining
is centered in that one spark that is hidden in the heart of man. When
the heart speaks of its joy, of its sorrow, it is all interesting, it
is all appealing. The heart does not tell a lie, it always tells the
truth, for by love it becomes sincere and it is through the sincere
heart that true love manifests.
Social Gathekas - Poetry (1)
The depth of the word of each person is very different. If a person
has spoken a hundred words in one day, do you think that every word
has the same power? No, the power and effect of a particular word
depend upon the state in which that person was, and from what depth
the word rises. Upon this depend the power and light of that word. For
instance, with a person who has a habit of telling a lie, who is
insincere, you will always find that his words are dropping down; his
words have no force, while the one who speaks with conviction, who is
sincere, who tells the truth - his word has a light, his word
penetrates. Sometimes, from a person full of sadness and heartbroken,
a voice comes, a word, full of sincerity; it has all the power to
penetrate; it has such an effect upon the listener! Then there is
another person who is lighthearted, who is not deep, not serious
enough in life; everything he says and does is always on the surface;
he inspires no one with confidence, for he himself has no confidence.
