7 Things You Should Keep a Secret

The first thing to keep a secret, the sages say - their far-reaching plans. Keep quiet until this plan is fulfilled. Any of our ideas are not only not ideal, they have a huge number of weak points, which are very easy to hit and destroy everything.

The second thing that wise men recommend is not to share the secret of their charity. A good cause is a great rarity in this world, and that is why it must be protected as the apple of the eye. Do not praise yourself for good deeds. Pride will immediately see and take away all the good that came as a result of this charity.

The third, which the sages do not recommend spreading, is about their asceticism. Do not tell left and right about your restrictions in nutrition, sleep, sexual relations, etc. Physical austerity benefits only if it combines with the emotional component.

The fourth thing to keep silent about is your courage, heroism. Someone gets the tests external, but someone internal. External tests are visible, so people are rewarded for them, but nobody overcomes internal tests, so no one is awarded any awards for them.

The fifth, which is not worth spreading, is about spiritual knowledge. Spiritual knowledge has different levels and must be revealed only when a certain level of purity of consciousness is reached. The main mistake of the beginning bearer of truth is the desire to share too high spiritual knowledge, which, instead of bringing good to a person, only further entangles and even frightens him.

Sixth, than it is not necessary to particularly share with others - to talk about their home conflicts and in general about their family life. Remember: the less you talk about the problems in your family, the more it will be stronger and more stable. The quarrel is the deliverance from the negative energy that has accumulated in the process of communication.

The seventh, which is not worth talking about, is about ugly words that have been heard from someone. You can stain shoes on the street, and you can dirty your mind. And the man who, having come home, tells everything that he heard a fool on the way, is no different from a man who came home and did not take off his shoes.
