“We have to be able to sit in silence before we can truly speak”
— Ram Dass

Simplified Meaning:
Before we can share our thoughts clearly, we need to take time to be quiet and think. Imagine you are about to have an important conversation with a friend. If you just start talking without thinking, you might not express yourself well and miss important points. But if you take a moment to sit quietly and organize your thoughts, you will speak more clearly and effectively. This advice can be used in many situations—when writing, solving problems, or making decisions. By taking a pause and reflecting first, what we then say or do will be more thoughtful and meaningful.
