Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam May 17th, 2007 The tongue exemplifies sacrifice. When it tastes sweet delicacies, it sends them to the stomach. But if the item is bitter, the tongue at once spits it out. Not merely that, the tongue conducts itself in the most honourable manner. It does not step out of its house (mouth) under any circumstances. It does all its work without crossing its limits. While all other senses do only one work each, the tongue alone has the capacity to do two types of work, namely, to taste and to speak. That is why one has to exercise proper control over the tongue lest it should indulge in sinful activities like talking ill of others. In times of anger, observe silence. Our ancients taught: talk less, work more. The lesser you speak, the purer your heart remains. -SAI BABA Sai news Thought for the day archive 2006 Calendar Pictures Submit your: / Prayer request / Sai experience / Sainews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
