Some of the elders sitting in the Veranda are indulging in gossip; it is finding its way into the Internet. Anyone found talking in the Veranda should be sent out immediately, whosoever it may be. All those who give misleading information about what Swami tells them in the interview room should also be thrown out. I will never call such people for interview again. Only those who observe silence are good people. Silence fosters purity Therefore observe silence at all times. It is a waste of time if you carry tales about others. What have you come here for? Vain gossip causes harm to many. So refrain from indulging in it. (D D 15/16-10.99 P 4)
