This world has arisen due to the effect of the words only. And a human being is wandering from one life to another due to the effects of the words only. If these words did not exist then moksha is easy. This spoken words is such a thing that if it is saved, then all the mahavrats (major vows) are encompassed. Raag-dwesh (attachment-abhorrence) arises on the basis of one’s own beliefs and opinions. And due to the effect of those vibrations, negative-positive speech comes forth. One is considered a human being when he is aware all the time that other person does not get hurt through his speech. The goal of a human being should be to become free from opinions, so that as a result of his opinion other person does not get hurt or suffering does not arise and he himself also becomes free from the opinion and becomes free from the faults that lead to hurt. Therefore, Dadashri says that if one learns the art of ‘not speaking’ then too, his salvation is at hand.
