Words are not merely sounds that fall from the tongue; they are subtle currents of consciousness that ripple outward, shaping the unseen landscapes of your mind, your energy, and the luminous field that surrounds your body. Yogananda often taught that the universe itself is built on vibration, and that every vibration carries intention, form, and direction. When a person speaks, they do not simply express ideas; they activate forces. They send sparks into the invisible. And these sparks, depending on their nature, either illuminate the aura or dim it. They either lift the vibration of your inner being or drag it into heaviness. Human beings tend to underestimate this power, because words seem so ordinary, so effortless, so familiar. Yet the deepest spiritual traditions have always known that speech is a creative instrument that touches the same realm from which the universe was born.
