The sound of Mantras (Vedic hymns) has the power of transforming the evil impulses and tendencies. The word 'Mantra' means that which saves when turned over in the mind. Revolve the mantra ever in the mind, that will keep off wild talk, purposeless conversation, gossip and scandal. Talk only when absolutely necessary. Talk as little as possible.
