Sai Baba Gita - Tell the Truth but use Discretion in your Words

Tell the Truth but use Discretion in your Words

Whenever you hear a spiritual teaching on a particular day, you will go about

implementing it with a great deal of fervor and conviction; but only on that

very day. But this is not the correct way to pursue your spiritual studies. You

should use your intellect to understand the context in which you find yourself

before you use words in a given situation. Whenever you do a particular thing

or say something, you should know that truth is the royal means for reaching

your ultimate goal. The tongue should not be tainted by untruth. The body

should not be tainted by violence. The mind should not be stained by bad

thoughts and bad feelings. It is only when you sanctify all these three, the

tongue, the body and the mind and bring them into harmony, that you will be

able to get the sacred vision of the Lord.

Students should be extremely careful in telling the truth. They should certainly

tell the truth, but be careful not to go on talking and hurting others

unnecessarily. Have control over your tongue. Whenever there is a

misunderstanding with someone, if you tell him all his defects, with the

justification that everything you are telling is true, then there are bound to

be complications later. You should never hate others. When you have love in

your heart, your words will naturally be very sweet. Even if anger develops, it

will be of a fleeting nature.

There are four types of people. The anger of a person who is of a serene nature

will be very short-lived; it recedes immediately. The Gita has declared such a

one as a great soul. The second type will have this anger for a number of

minutes, but it will soon fade away. The third category of person will have

this anger continuously, all day long. The one in the lowest category will have

this anger throughout his life.
