If you were in that position what would you say ?
How can you attain the quality of humanity? We can attain the quality of humanity by treating others like ourselves, Try to attain spiritual serenity and firmness. Do not give way to conflicts and agitations. Always speak in a polite and pleasant manner. -
ENJOYING SWEET SPEECH :
Always speak in a sweet and pleasant manner.
If food is not tasty, we cannot enjoy it. Similarly, if our speech lacks sweetness, others cannot enjoy it. Therefore, your speech should be sweet and pleasant. Others enjoy such speech.
Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir
Bhagwan Mahaveer's message is that our words should not cause pain or sorrow to other jivas.
We should speak after careful thought.
From the children of your family, the culture of your family can be known. The minds of children are highly impressionable. The atmosphere of your family can be known from the way your children speak. Children easily and at once take on every good and evil feature of the family. It has been rightly said that a child's vocation is an endless imitation. Wherever anger appears, anguish at once makes its appearance. Dissensions originate from dissent.
Because people could not speak in the right manner, mighty wars took place. Speech must possess sweetness and perfection. If speech depends on a relative approach to reality. it will not lead to misunderstandings. If people adopt the attitude called multidimensional approach to reality or the Anekant point of view all conflicts disappear and they end in happy compromises.
