The Perfection of Speech

The speech of those born from the Victor’s lineage carries a distinct fragrance.
It is powerful—able to reach an audience without strain, carrying itself effortlessly into every corner where a listening heart resides.
It is gentle—not through softness alone, but through an attractiveness that puts beings at ease, drawing them toward clarity rather than pushing them toward submission.
It is eloquent—each syllable shaped with precision, each word clean, deliberate, and resonant.
It is sensible—expressed in ways a mind can grasp, never drowning meaning in ornament or obscurity.

It is appropriate—spoken in harmony with the listener’s capacity, tuned exactly to what their understanding can receive.
It is non-exploitive—untainted by the hunger for wealth, honor, or praise, never using wisdom as a net for personal gain.
It is measured—balanced in tempo and tone, never drifting into tediousness or excess, never tightening into severity.
And it is expansive—open, unforced, unconstricted, like a river that widens when the land allows it.

Such speech does not merely instruct.
It liberates by its very nature.
For when truth flows through a being who has mastered both wisdom and compassion, even a single phrase becomes a path,
and the listener feels, if only for a moment, that the world is more spacious than it appeared a breath before.
