Acharya Prashant explains that clarity and silence are signs of inner transformation, but one must distinguish between different types of words and silence. Words can either arise from a disturbed mind, increasing agitation, or from a state of meditative peace, which brings stillness to the listener. Similarly, silence can stem from fear and the desire to avoid trouble, or it can arise from inner fulfillment where there is nothing left to prove or gain. He emphasizes that neither silence nor speech is inherently superior; the value lies in the internal state from which they originate. A saint might remain silent to wait for the right moment or speak and sing to spread the truth, but their actions are always rooted in awakening rather than suppression or cowardice.
