I thought about tongue , it is only the sense i guess which perform's act of two
senses , one is Taste anther is Speech .
Please share your views how TONGUE take's pleasure in hearing speech, which satisfies our other senses .
Also we know it also play a role in Tasting the Dishes , how to overcome both activities of Tongue ?
Sometimes i think that speech pleasure can become very dangerous , because it activates other senses also .
So what is the role of controlled speech & controlled tongue in Devotional Life ?
Why speech do not have sense organ other then tongue ?

The nine processes of devotional service covers the senses 200% and more
Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thank You so much Ashwani Kumar Prabhu for a nice question! And Radhe Matajis for a short but suitable answer!
It is true if we do not be attentive to what we eat then we won't be able to control our mind which will make weak our other senses including speech.
So eating habits play big role.
I know many Devotees who strict in their eating. They do not eat food which is cooked by those who do not chant 16 rounds. Who do not have good qualities who are greedy, passionate...because if we take that food our mind will behave accordingly. We will get their qualities.
So how to control food habits?
In one of the lectures given to brahmacharis one brahmachari asked a question to HH Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami Maharaja "how to control the tongue? How to be strict in eating and not to over eat etc"
Maharaja told that regularity is needed. Food should be taken in a particular times and regularly. Not too less and not too much in a time.
In this way no matter what difficulty we have firstly we take shelter of Lord Hrishikesh by offering first all food to Him then praying to Him to help us to control our tongue. Then only honor Prasadam in a peaceful state of mind, not speaking, not harrying, but only hearing music or lectures with full attention to Prasadam and to the lecture.
Your servant,
Also if one is a brahmachari then he or she should eat sweets only once in a week. Otherwise sweets may disturb mind by making it lusty and also makes one overweight which is not good for active and healthy spiritual sadhana.
Your servant,
