Our ears are compared with ..............open all the time
You cannot get back the ................ words.
............ has endowed man with two cars and one month.
(iv)
Man was meant to listen more and talk less. That is why as the great British statesman
Benjamin Disraeli said : "Nature has endowed man with two ears and one mouth. If man was
meant to talk more and listen less, he would have two mouths and only one ear." Imagine how we
would have looked, how strange with two mouths on the two sides and one ear at the centre.
And mind you, the ears are like funnels, open all the time. There is no door with which you can
close them. Whereas if you have to speak even one single word, that word must pass through two
walls - two fences. There is firstly the fence of these two rows of teeth. There is secondly the fence
of the two lips. Before a word can be spoken, it has to pass, it has to pierce through these two
walls, through these two fences. Therefore we must think at least twice before, we utter a word.
A very wise man once remarked that of the unspoken word you are a master, of the spoken
word, you are a slave. Once you have spoken a word you cannot get it back, do what you will.
Therefore you must be very careful about the words that you speak. Once the word has left your
lips, you will not be able to get it back.
What are unspoken words? They are things you want to say, but remain unsaid, as thoughts in
your mind. Once you have put the thoughts into words, once the words have left your lips, you
cannot change them or control them.
