A young man went to his spiritual teacher and said, “I have spoken very harsh and unkind words to
my friend, and he is deeply hurt. I am afraid I have lost my friendship with him. How can I make
amends?” The wise teacher gave him a fresh sheet of blank paper and a pen; he said to the young
man, “Write down on this paper all the harsh things you said to him.” The young man did as he was
told, and showed the paper to the teacher.
“Now tear up this sheet of paper into as many small bits as you can,” the wise teacher said. Soon, the
single sheet was torn into a hundred tiny bits of paper. “Throw the bits out of this window,” the
teacher told him. That was easily done! It was a windy day and the tiny bits were scattered far and
wide even as the young man watched. “Now, go out into the street and collect as many bits of the
paper as you can,” the teacher ordered him. The young man was taken aback. “But…but, that will be
difficult …” he stammered. “It will be difficult indeed, but do give it a try,” the teacher suggested. The
young man went out. He returned half an hour later, exhausted. He had not been able to get hold of
a single torn bit from the paper he had torn up just a while earlier! “This is what happens with the
spoken word,” the teacher said to him. “Once you have spoken the words aloud, it is very difficult to
take them back. Therefore, learn to think before you speak in anger.”

The sea is our mother, the cloud is our brother,

He who holds the storm by the hair, will hide in
