09. Transformation of the Physical (2)
If the peace is very strong within, talking does not cloud it – because this peace is not mental or vital even when it pervades the mind and vital – or else it is a cloud that quickly passes without touching deeply. Usually however such talk disperses the consciousness and one can lose much. The only disadvantage of not talking is that it isolates too much, if it is absolute, but by not talking these things [news etc.] one loses nothing.
