The Importance of Your Tongue

Have you thought about the importance of your tongue? Probably not, but perhaps you have, especially if it got you into trouble. This is a brief observation from The New Testament, Book of James:

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or insincerity. James 3:17 (RSV)

If you can control your words, you can control your whole body
Explore the analogies in the Book of James about controlling horses and ships with a very small item (just as our tongue is small but has great influence)

Learn the qualities you express as you live in swarupa, your true nature
If you have bitterness, envy or strife in your heart, know this did not come from God or soul
