The Role of the Tongue in Speech

The second aspect of the tongue is speech. As has already been mentioned, speech

has its own powerful impact on the mind and the entire mental process. It has a

tremendous power. It can perplex your mind. It can break your heart. It can

even kill you. It can also give life and encouragement and help you to reach

your divine goal. These are two opposite and contradictory results, both

effected by the spoken word.

By the use of appropriate words, it is possible to transform the entire mind of

an individual. Unfortunately, many people do not believe this. They raise

objections like, "How is it possible to transform the mind through mere words?

What experiments have been conducted to prove that there is this power in the

faculty of speech? Words are only gross sounds heard through the ear." Or else

they think, "The mind is a very subtle thing. How can mere sounds transform

something that is so subtle and fine? It is not possible." In this way they

will argue that it is impossible to bring about a mental transformation through

words. There is a small story to illustrate this attitude.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba
