10. “You can say anything, just don’t put it in writing.”

Quote Found by Mithilā Dāsa

“We cannot attack anyone directly in writing. There is a proverb in Sanskrit that you can speak something one thousand times, but don’t give it in writing. Similarly, we may use some strong words against all this nonsense, but if we write it in black and white, that will not be good. So instead of naming these rascals directly, you change the word to ‘mental speculators.’”

(Letter to: Brahmānanda—Hamburg 30 August, 1969)
