And so Moses began His apprenticeship with the Master, and the Master told Him to keep silent, whatever happens. […] And then, when They went further down the road, They came across a river. And there was a mother crying on the bank of the river because her baby happened to be swept away by the currents. And the current was very, very strong. Then Moses wanted to save the child. And the Master did not let Him. And of course, Moses also could not do it because the currents were very strong. And then He said to the Master, “Master, You are powerful, You’re mighty. Can You save the baby? How can You keep silent and just stand here? Oh, the mother was crying, You didn’t see, and the child is drowning. And You keep silent.” And the Master said, “Shh. Silence.” […]
And He was having doubt in His heart; very, very many doubts. He was very, very much troubled, a lot of critical thoughts about the Master, but He just kept His mouth shut. So, you see, to keep your mouth shut doesn’t mean you are silent. […]
But in most cases, in the Ashram or in the spiritual centers, people would say, “Keep silence.” That means you don’t talk nonsense. But you talk when necessary. […] And also, during meals, it’s better not to talk. Because when you talk, you don’t chew properly. […] So since the ancient times, the people say, “When you eat, don’t talk.” That is a logical explanation. Another explanation is that most of the time the devil goes through the mouth because it’s the widest opening of all. And we open it, most of the time, so, if there is anything trying to possess you, they would enter into the mouth very quickly. […]
Also, when we eat together, we talk, and we breathe all kinds of germs into the food. And then the other person also has to inhale and eat the food which is infected by our germs. […] Our mouth contains a lot of germs, even though we are very hygienic and brush our teeth every day. It is a natural thing that they breed inside there. But I don’t know, the doctor said mine doesn’t have any. “Few,” he said “Few, very few.” […] Those few are not supposed to be there at all. So, I was very sick. That’s why I had to have a blood test. Just a few bacteria made me sick. […]
