A single word can brighten the faceof one who knows the value of words. Ripened in silence, a single wordacquires a great energy for work. War is cut short by a word, and a word heals the wounds, and there’s a word that changespoison into butterand honey. Let a word mature inside yourself. Withhold the unripened thought. Come and understand the kind of wordthat reduces money and riches to dust. Know when to speak a wordand when not to speak at all. A single word turns the universe of hellinto eight paradises. Follow the Way. Don’t be fooledby what you already know. Be watchful. Reflect before you speak. A foolish mouth can brand your soul. Yunus, say one last thingabout the power of words —Only the word “I”divides me from God. Yunus Emre
