The Tongue

The Tongue

With this you sow,
with this you forgive,
with this you tolerate,
with this , if used properly, can create heaven,
with this you create hell.
God has given you a choice.
look at your body,
the only organ you can control is the tongue.
All sowing is done from the tongue.
All fights in every house are because of the tongue.
They are not physical fights in most cases, just verbal ones.

The mind and body are fighting all the time and the tongue caught in between keeps the heart burning - that is a "Manmukh" (self-centred person).

A "Gurmukh" (God-centred person) attaches the tongue to the heart (where he has fixed his attention on the loving, compassionate God of Truth).

The Manmukh points fingers at others, because their tongue is attached to manmat (selfish thinking).  A Gurmukh is born when he only points finger inwards – “hum nahee changa bura nahee koee” (I am not good, no one is bad ..Guru Nanak Ji) - wash yourself.
