Observe Mouna always for your own spiritual growth, and not for making the public understand that you are a great Yogi. Always scrutinize your motives in doing any action.
Mouna means vow of silence. Energy is wasted in idle talking and gossiping. Mouna develops will-power. Mouna checks the impulse of speech. It is a great help for the observance of truth and control of anger. Emotions are controlled and irritability vanishes. Observe Mouna at least one or two hours a day. During Mouna, sublime thoughts should be replaced for worldly thoughts, and Japa should be done.
On Sundays, observe Mouna at least for six hours or the whole day. People also will not disturb you at that time when they come to know you are regularly observing Mouna. Your family members also will not worry you. Utilise this time of Mouna in Japa and meditation. You must observe Mouna at any convenient time in the morning or evening besides the hours of silence that you have during your morning meditation. If circumstances prevent you from observing Mouna, strictly avoid long talk, big talk, tall talk, all unnecessary talk, all sorts of vain debates and discussions, etc., and withdraw yourself from society as much as possible.
