According to ancient Indian texts, the ultimate goal of both internal and external communication is self-realization.

Inner communication with the self and outer communication with others are seen as steps toward realising one's true nature.

Communication here is a spiritual instrument, not merely an exchange of information.

Achieving social status treats communication as a ladder to prestige, which is a worldly aim, not the ultimate one.

Capturing political power reduces communication to a tool of dominance rather than inner attainment.

Accumulation of wealth makes it serve material gain, again far from the goal of self-realization these texts hold highest.
