In Uddhava
Gita Chapter VI, Ver. 20 Lord Krishna gives a beautiful instruction to all
the people. The instruction is about the purification
of the organ of speech. When physical body is associated with all kinds of
dust it becomes impure. We purify the body by taking a bath. We have got a
powerful organ which is the organ of speech and the only given gift for all the
human beings by Bhagavan. This indriyam will also get polluted because of wrong association and by the utterance of all kinds of rubbish words.
When the organ of speech is used wrongly by uttering bad words, indecent words,
it gets polluted which we never notice.
If the organ of speech is polluted by using
indecent words, how to purify the same. The only way to purify / sanitize the
organ of speech is by chanting slokas
from sacred scriptures. Words uttered from scriptures will wash off all the
pollution by the words we chant. Why scriptural words purify? They talk about
only the ultimate purifying agent. Vishnu Sahasranamam is considered to contain
words which are sacred. By chanting words from Vishnu sahasranamam, our speech
will get purified. If you cannot avoid these bad words keep quiet. You can
chant “Sri rama ramethi rame rame Manorame. Saharanama tathulyam Rama Nama
Varanane” ten times. Lord Krishna says one should have some scriptural
parayanam. Otherwise he will become useless. Speech associated with scriptures
has to be uttered everyday by you. Nirguna Bhagavan is talked about in Veda
Antha Bagha. Actual Bhagavan consisting of Shristi (creation), Srithi
(sustenance) and Pralayam (destruction) should be read by all and understand
who is Bhagavan. Before the origination of the universe, before the origination
of time and space Isvara was present. He is Anadhi (beginningless). He has no
form. He is a formless Jagat Karanam. Reading the scriptures will purify our
speech. Learning the meaning after reading will purify our mind. You will get
rid of the ignorance of Bhagavan and ignorance of yourself (Isvara agnanam and
atma agnanam). Ignorance and Self misconception are the worst mental impurity.
This will go away by reading and learning the meaning of Scriptures. Learning
the meaning is called Jignasu, which
means enquiry (vichara). Surrender
your mind on the Lord who is the Karanam. The instantaneous benefit is that
your mind becomes relaxed. All the worry about your family, Children, grand
children will go away. We need not worry and everything will be better off.
Enjoy life.
Be Blissful.
