So if we want to use this sense organ of speech totally for divine life, we can do so without much troubles. That is verily the greatness of Nama sankirtan.

Nama Article 9th February 2012

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

We have no control over what we see; even if we want to see only things divine, We are forced to see things not so fine.

 

We have no control over what we hear; even if we want to hear only divine voices, we cannot help hearing worldly noises.

 

We have no control over what we touch and feel; even if we want to touch only things godly, worldly things touch us so badly.

 

We have no control over what we smell; even if we want to smell ony prasada of the Lord, foul odours gets in on its own accord.

 

We have no control over what we eat; though we want to eat only what is soulfully consecrated to the Lord, we scarcely get such prasada.

 

We have no control of where we go; even if we want to stay only in divine places, we cannot truly be so.

 

But there is one organ on which we have full control - which can do what we truly want it to -- the organ of speech.

 

So if we want to use this sense organ totally for divine life, we can do so without much troubles.

 

That is verily the greatness of Nama sankirtan.
