“A good thing in regard to control of speech is from the Laws of Manu. In Occultism, speech is regarded as an act, and the most difficult of all acts to control. To control speech, regular and persistent efforts are required. The rule for speech is given as:
Let him say what is true.
Let him say what is useful.
Let him say what is pleasant.
Let him utter no disagreeable truth.
Let him utter no agreeable falsehood.
These are good things to bear in mind at all times, without making so much of them as to neglect other things quite as important.”
