"As humans, it's our responsibility to help other people.
But you might say, "I don't have enough money to give to too many things."
You don't need that - you have your voice.
If you have a nice voice, you can sing and other people will feel good.
You can also say good words to give peace to others.
Some words are like medicine, and some words give warmth.
Saints say, "Remember the Holy Name." But Swami Vivekananda was asked why he always said that.
In reply, he said a bad word.
Some people got mad. "How can you say this word? You are a saint!"
He said, "Sorry." Immediately they calmed down.
"I said one bad word and your temper quickly flares high, then I said 'sorry' and you are quickly calming down."
This is the power of words.
Our saints say, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
So what is that word? Words can bring happiness, and words can bring sorrow and pain.
But we don't give them much value because they are free. Free things are not much valued by us. We don't see the value behind the gift.
Maybe we can try to do that."
