Are there any exceptions to writing replies in service of God?

[Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami, You told that writing replies or texting is the best method rather than oral discussion of spiritual concepts. Are there any exceptions to this method in worldly affairs or in the service of God?]

Swami replied:- Discussions through writing is always the best method in clarifying the issues provided the issues are very important like the concepts of true spiritual knowledge. If the issues are of less importance, even oral discussions are sufficient. The concepts of spiritual knowledge are very very important because all the future births of the soul depend on the direction of spiritual journey. Oral discussions are fast expressions of thoughts in which errors can often intermingle. If the subject is of ordinary worldly affairs and is not very important, oral discussions are sufficient.
