The nature of our tongue is very nice, never having hostile mood ( attacking mood), just like a sadhu living amidst all enemies. The tongue is very humble living inside the trap of 32 teeth. But never fear about them because a sadhu never afraid of any enemity. May be any time they can cut the tongue, but still the tongue never going to take any revenge against them, on the contrary when teeth ache is there at any portion inside our mouth the tongue always going to give nourishment like a very close friend. As if asking—“Oh! my brother how are you, what can I do for you?.” It is really very excellent that whenever we are going to take oil , butter, ghee , curd etc. which is sticky in nature, but still within fraction of second we can find everything clean from our tongue, what a kind of magic spell shown by our tongue, just like a sadhu never contaminated by maya.
