Mind Your Speech

5/1/2014

"Agogo enu refers to the power of the tongue. More precisely, it recalls our aversion for people who run off at the mouth or have reckless tongues. These are the people who incessantly recall negative experiences. Somehow, they cannot seem to stop talking about bad things, even after people have confessed, asked forgiveness and honestly tried to rectify the situation. Araba Elebuibon reminds us of the proverb that says, 'Ka tenu moran nii daje' which is translated as 'Inopportunity is a trait a witches.' 

It means that witchcraft is carried out through speech and so you are well-advised to be mindful of what you say. Even if what you're saying is true, in the sense that it happened, part of your emotional growth and spiritual development arises from your ability to see beyond the mere event and understand it from multiple angles. This requires introspection and honest, compassionate inquiry. In the end, the objective of communication is not just to express yourself. The real objective is to share ideas and experiences so that you and others might benefit. So ask yourself how your words are going to heal, how they're going to improve somebody's life, how they're going to build mutual understanding between yourself and the people you serve. If they are not going to be used for that purpose it is better than you be quiet until you find the vocabulary that will do just that. This is what living the medicine is all about.
