Acharya Prashant explains the profound meaning behind Kabir Saheb's teaching on weighing one's words before speaking. He distinguishes between two types of weighing or discernment. The worldly mind views discernment as a superficial choice between dualities like black and white, good and bad, or polite and impolite. For a worldly person, weighing words means filtering them to ensure they are socially acceptable, ethical, or beneficial for their ego, regardless of the internal state of the speaker. This, he asserts, is a great misunderstanding of a saint's words, as it focuses only on the external form and social approval while ignoring the source of the speech.
