"I Guard Attention And Speech"

Daily Sankalp · Mitra v3.0 Stub · Beginner
The Sankalp

Today I treat my attention and words as resources, and do not scatter them carelessly.

Indriya-nigraha governs the senses, including the mind's tendency to wander, and Mauna — disciplined silence — governs speech. The tradition pairs these because attention and speech are two of the most powerful things a person has, and also among the most freely given away. Treating them as finite and precious changes how you move through the day.

✦
  1. Where you place your attention is where your energy goes — guard it as you would a resource.
  2. Speak only what is necessary, true, and kind today.
  3. Both attention and speech, once given, cannot be reclaimed.
  • Energy preservation
  • Integrity of speech
  • Inner focus
ॐ
