谈论过多没什么重大意义的事物，是最普遍的对言语的滥用。何苦要把这些无用的信息填满你的意识。浪费他人时间，是在这个忙碌的世界里种下的一颗非常昂贵的种子。

The result of thisseed is having a mind that will never stop talking to you. It is a real pain to when you sit down to meditate only to find thatyou have a mind that wants to keep talking. That busy, talkative mind comesprecisely as result of planting seeds of speaking uselessly. Sometimes to putothers at ease we engage in small talk and that is not what I am talking abouthere. It’s the times when you just like to hear yourself talk. You are talkingbecause you want to. You aren’t focused at all on what someone else needs. Ifsomeone is talking to you uselessly then try to listen attentively, try tolearn something and when you can you excuse yourself. 

这颗种子的果实，就是拥有一个将会永不停歇一直和你说话的意识。当你坐下来正准备冥想，却发现自己有一个想要一直持续说话的意识，真是极大的痛苦。

那个忙碌、饶舌的意识，正是来自于种下了说无意义言语的种子。

有些时候我们跟人闲谈是为了让他人觉得舒适，这与我在此谈到的是有所不同的。我在谈论的是那些你只想听自己说话的时刻。

你在说话是因为你想要这么做。你完全没有关注他人的需求。如果有人对你说无用的话，那么尝试专注地聆听，试着去学习些什么，然后当你可以的时候你就离开。
