Summary

This quote suggests that gentle and kind advice has a more significant impact on the recipient. When advice is delivered with empathy and understanding, it is more easily accepted and internalized by the person receiving it. Similar to how softly falling snow lingers and penetrates into the ground, gentle advice has a lasting effect on the mind, allowing it to be pondered upon and integrated into one's thoughts and actions. It emphasizes the importance of delivering advice with care and compassion for it to be truly effective.
