I don’t think I am without inner being or spiritual experience. Why then do I miss the inner contact and support for speech?

If you had no inner being and no spiritual experience then you could have no descent of silence or peace or any pressure of force or anything else. But even those who have a strong inner life, take a long time before they can connect it with the outer speech and action.

Outer speech belongs to the externalising mind – that is why it is so difficult to connect it with the inner life.
