Hanuman's mission in the Sundara Kanda embodies this principle — he crosses the ocean alone, in secret, and finds Sita before Ravana can respond. Premature disclosure dissipates energy, invites opposition, and corrupts intention with the desire for approval. The Sundara Kanda's beauty is partly in its silence — Hanuman acts before speaking.
मन में सोचे गए कार्य को वाणी से प्रकट नहीं करना चाहिए। मन्त्रणा से कार्य की रक्षा करो; और करने के बाद भी उसे घोषित मत करो।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
The work conceived in the mind should not be disclosed by speech. Protect the plan in counsel; and even after doing it, do not proclaim it.

मन में सोचे गए कार्य को वाणी से प्रकट नहीं करना चाहिए। अवधान एक सीमित क्षमता है: जो विषय बार-बार मन में आता है, वही अगली क्रिया की दिशा बनता है। यह पंक्ति उसी मानसिक चयन को अपना विषय बनाती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
