Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - February 05, 2026

Narration
Translated
What is one quality that youth must learn from the example set by Lord Rama? Bhagawan reminds us and urges us to practice today.
In all aspects, Rama translated every moment of his life to be an example of ideal behaviour. By showing equal affection to all, Rama attracted all the people. In His childhood, Rama spoke very little. He was conducting Himself in that manner in order to show the world the ideal that is contained in limited speech. Limited talking will always promote the divine strength in one and will also promote one’s memory. It creates respect for one in the community. If one talks too much, it will, to an extent, destroy one’s memory. Not only this, if one talks too much, the strength in the nerves will diminish and the person will become somewhat feeble. It is for this reason that all great saints were observing the path of silence whenever possible. By observing silence, one can get strength. Because the youth of today talk too much, it so happens that their memory becomes weak, and when they go to the examination hall, they forget what they have read. Amongst the many ideals which Rama has given to the young people, the first one is to talk less.
