Acharya Prashant explains that the human tendency to speak incessantly is a karmic action driven by the ego's restlessness and a sense of incompleteness. People use speech as a tool to fill an inner void or to drown out internal noise and anxiety. He compares this to a person playing loud music in a car to mask the rattling of objects, or someone with tinnitus who fears silence because it makes their internal ringing unbearable. Silence acts as a mirror to one's internal state; those who are restless within find silence awkward and frightening, leading them to engage in compulsive talking as a form of escape.
