SWEET SPEECH
"My dear lord and master, my friend, speaks so sweetly."
"My dear lord and master, my friend, speaks so sweetly."
Guru Arjun Dev Ji 1563-1606
In this shabad, Guru ArjunDev Ji goes on to say, "I have gone on to test god but he never hurts anyone by speaking harsh words. God struggles to speak bitter words and does not even look at anyone's negatives, as all is one. This is the natural way in which vaheguroo (god) purifies and saves sinners."
When we are in the remembrance and contemplation of god 24/7 with every breath, our conscious mind will never let us speak bad about anyone or look at anyone's negatives, as the love and virtues of God will shine through us and naturally we would see the good in all with every breath. Life would be in the form of a mirror, what we experience on the inside, would shine forth on the outside and all our virtues would be seen in everyone we meet.
Also the same happens in the opposite way; When we are negative, narrow minded and very judgemental, we would treat everybody else in the same way and not trust anyone.
This is why Guru Ji says, practise the virtue of humility and sweet speech, as this pierces the hearts of all and we would only be offered love and respect back in return.
Sweet speech consists of, speaking softly, speaking in humility, love and respect, and speaking with good manners. Most people are judged through the words they speak.
The spirit is connected to love, so most sane people react positively to virtuous sweet speaking human beings..
The way one walks, their body language, the way they write, the look in their eyes, aura, energy and everything about them will become warm and sweet. All the above is developed through constant meditation on Vaheguroo's name, as meditation replaces anger, harsh words, ego and balances the mind.
"The one who is sweet and dear to the lord is loved and dear to all, all others come and go in vain." Guru Amardas ji. "Jo har ka pyaaraa, so sabna ka pyaara."
Vaheguroo!
