I wonder how careful we are with matters in hand. Do we really ponder upon the real issues in life or we just get engrossed in issues we cannot solve ? People who come to me describe their diseases and their sufferings but they really forget to tell me about their overindulgences in life. The food, the drink.. they just become convincingly forgetful for this part. They just remember their sufferings and they do forget the extras derived from the greed of taste and temporary happiness. One saint explained the same in a very good manner. He said that God has granted us a quota for everything. For example.. he granted us a quota of sugar for life. Suppose it is 2000 KG for whole life. You can finish that 2000 kg in three years or you can finish it in lifetime. If you finish it earlier then you will suffer from diabetes and will not be able to enjoy the sweetness. No matter what you do, you cannot exceed your rationing before time. If you do, you will suffer from conditions that will not allow further grants. So control on tongue and body is extremely important rather than getting tensed after the consequences. If you are careful about excess then you will never suffer from anything, but we become careful only when we suffer.
