So we must not even waste a second without singing the divine Names or His glories with this tongue of ours given to us by God!

Source : Madhuramurali English Edition

Srimad Bhagavatham

जिह्वासती दार्दुरिकेव सूत न चोपगायत्युरुगायगाथाः ।। २-३-२० ।।

What about our tongue (जिह्वा)? If it does not sing the glories of Bhagavan, the Lord who is sung widely, then such a tongue is like an unchaste woman (असती ) and it can be compared to the tongue of a frog (दार्दुरिकेव). Why? Because the tongue of a frog always keeps making some meaningless sounds and ironically, that very sound invites its death, the snake, which comes to know the whereabouts of the frog with these sounds. 

So also if we use our tongues to talk meaningless worldly things, that would only invite Yama and remind him that he has forgotten us! So we must not even waste a second without singing the divine Names or His glories with this tongue of ours given to us by God!
