Try this today

If someone is quiet today, give them space rather than assigning a motive to their silence.

Ask yourself

Can I avoid assuming what someone else’s silence means?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
