In one of Hazoori Roop Sai Sadhram Saheb’s enlightening Satsangs, Saijan emphasized that we must always watch and think before we speak, as our words become our karma. Our karmas play a crucial role in determining our fate, judged by the king of justice, Dharam Raj, during the final day of judgment.
One day, as part of his usual practice, the king was serving food to the Brahmins. At that moment, an eagle, carrying a venomous snake in its beak, was flying in the sky. By chance, some poison from the snake’s mouth fell into the food that the king was serving to the pandit.
The pandit died after consuming the poisonous food. The king became very upset because he was unaware of the poison in the food he had served to the pandit. The king of justice, Dharam Raj, pondered over whom to blame for the pandit’s death in the palace, as nobody intentionally caused harm to the pandit. No one in the palace was aware that the poison in the food had come from the mouth of the snake carried by an eagle in its beak.
After some days, a few sadhus arrived in the city where the king’s palace was located. They approached a lady and inquired if she knew of a place where they could rest. The lady informed the sadhus about the king’s palace, saying that the king took good care of sadhus and pandits. She assured them that they would be welcomed by the palace residents and provided with proper accommodation. Encouraged by the lady’s suggestion, the sadhus began heading towards the palace. However, the lady called them back. When the sadhus turned and asked why she had called them, the lady explained that she wanted them to be cautious and alert. Despite the king’s apparent goodness, she revealed that he had been known to harm people by offering them poisonous food. She recounted the story of a pandit who had died after the king served him food.
The moment this lady uttered these words, Dharamraj immediately attributed the blame to her for the bad karma she generated by saying something she was actually not aware of, and she told the sadhus about something she was not sure about.
Sai Sadhram emphasizes that we should avoid excessive and senseless talking without logic, as the words we choose shape our karma. Engaging in conversation without relying on facts may lead us into regrettable and distressing situations.
Saijan suggests that we should always refrain from talking about others without any personal connection because doing so may invite trouble for ourselves, akin to putting the snakes of others around our own necks.
Chosing the words properly while talking helps us in making good karmas.
God has blessed us with this beautiful life as humans, and we must benefit from it by practicing meditation, chanting the pious name of God/satguru, avoiding the use of bad words, refraining from telling lies, and abstaining from speaking negatively about things and people with whom we are not connected. Let’s strive to avoid creating negative karma
Human life is a beautiful gift that should be respected and taken care of by living it piously and positively.
