Pace e Bene – 11 October 2021

“The Sufis advise us to speak only after our words have managed to pass through three gates. At the first gate we ask ourselves, ‘Are these words true?’ 

If so, we let them pass on; if not, back they go. At the second gate we ask, ‘Are they necessary?’ 

At the last gate we ask, ‘Are they kind?’”—Eknath Easwaran
