Sai Inspires - 24th April 2009

 

Talkative persons easily slip into scandal mongering. Too much talk and a tongue addicted to scandal are twins; for they work together in unison. A poet addressed his tongue thus, "Oh tongue, knower of taste, relisher of sweetness, always prefer the Truth and God." Even when speaking the truth, one should not inflame passion, diminish enthusiasm, or inflict injury. Follow this tenet in your life: Speak the truth,  and say it pleasantly (Sathyam Bruyath, Priyam Bruyath). If it is unpleasant, do not speak the truth. (Na bruyath, sathyam apriyam). Even if it is pleasant, do not speak falsehood. (Priyam cha na anritham bruyath).

Kako možemo ukrotiti jezik da bi nam on pomogne razviti dobrotu unutar sebe?

 

Sai inspirise – 24. april/travanj 2009.

 

Pričljiva osoba se lako uvuće u raznošenje skandala. Mnogo govora i jezik odan skandalima su blizanci; jer rade zajedno u skladu. Pjesnik se obraća svom jeziku ovako: „O, jeziku, poznavatelju okusa, uživatelju u slatkoći, uvijek daj prednost Istini i Bogu.“ Čak i dok govori istinu, čovjek ne treba da raspiruje strast, stišava entuzijazam, ili nanosi povredu. Slijedi u svom životu ovo pravilo: Govori istinu, i kaži je na ugodan način (satjam brujat, prijam brujat). Ako je ona  neugodna, ne govori istinu (na brujat, satjam aprijam). Čak i ako je ugodna, ne izgovaraj laž (prijam ca na anritam brujat).
