The spiritual scriptures explain that syllables create words and words create images and those words in turn, create emotions. This looks reverse to me in the case of a story writer projecting the emotions engulfed in his mind in form of images to be in a transcript of words.
What a contrast! A language grows like the way a child grows. But it does have to begin from its nascent stage. May it be the dialect of the aborigines of Australia, the Red Indians of the Americans, the Paithanis of Pune, the Rajas of Rajasthan or the Shahs of Iran, all the dialects and vocabulary originated from one single thought.
The thought was to form a close related community, a bond which could keep human groups close and thrive within that community. I wonder what could be the purpose of not having a Single Universal Language, that could have reduced communication barriers. But, looking at today’s commercial and economic developments I realize, it is a beautiful thing.
Had humans, used the same linguistic skills and a monotonic set of vocabulary, we would have had DESTRUCTIVE ARGUMENT, as ultimately the human mind can weave 1000 thoughts as the saying goes. If I would meet a French Man, after Comment cava? Tres Bien. Merci, Au revoir…and other greetings I may not be able to connect to the deepest of levels with him at speaking.
But here comes the language of humanity. The speech of respect, humility, eye contact and polite gestures. They allow us to feel connected for an entire lifetime (this is really a big deal) even by using unrelated, unspoken or unrelated languages.
I see many I work with, live with or grew up with, to misinterpret the simplest of the instructions in the most hazardous and dangerous way they can. If a 40-year-old man walked up to me in a seminar and say I really like you. At first, if I am not objective to listening, I would break his face. But if I carefully give him a look to be keen to know what is he trying to tell me, I would reach an evident stage to understand clearly that he is acknowledging my behavior and respects what I presented or just what my comments were.
We use the Power of Language not as a tool these days, not as a magic wand, but to weaponrize the relations, expanding the differences further to irresolvable level.
And why could that be? Just ONE WORD-THAT ONE STATEMENT someone used against you, whenever, wherever. Our mind has held it, it is worst than a murder. It is a killing machine. That machine which works anti pace making.
We are told by religious scriptures to take the name of Bhagwan, Allah, Jesus, Rab or any almighty a group believes in. WHY?
To unionize and harvest our thoughts and actions towards peace. What will this peace do as the devotion is only for this one word or phrase of the spiritual scriptures?
So when a human mind is at rest – the rest you seek in your graveyard, the tranquility you find when you are ready to leave the body and transmigrate to another unknown world, the uncluttered head which you can feel when you are on anti-anxiety pills, the soundless sleep you get when you are in the jungle with no telephone rings or doorbell; creates a mystery – asking our existence; WHAT IS THE REALITY?
This leads us to another question now: Well the reality is not a truth, because if the truth was known we would be Sadgurus, and for real GOD (the word comes from goodness). A Reality is realizations that:
· elaborate an unbiased, non-judged (mind you nonjudgemental) circumstances requiring decision
· the deep sound of the heart which gives relief to the mind/brain and body translating the pains of queries of the past into pleasures of the Present (the gift)
· a belief that you have discarded which once upon a time made you live in a notion
· a different treatment another soul requires from you forever; which is either to love totally or to NOT and may be or may be not finally
· TO BE INDIFFERENT TO ANY OCCURRENCE IN ANY MOMENT.
Oh I am a human, how can I be indifferent? So here comes the play of detachment. The attachment without any definition. The solitude and independence by being in a relation, the following of principles of high ethics and standards without a pre-defined and drawn guidelines.
The power of language can connect you to yourself to be disconnected or dissolve you in the mysteries of universal existence and create the urge of being an eternal seeker in you!!!
The power of language can create differences in the most united worlds, and it can also create divisions in the unbreakable stitched beliefs.
It can turn a myth into a live situation, a story teller into a fortune teller, a boss into a critic, a drama script into an anxiety, a song into a budding relationship, a handshake into a firm business partnership and a hug into an eternal bond of affection.
We must use words, a gesture and actions wisely. Are we using for creativity? Are we using for enhancing relations? Are we using for better communication? Are we using to create an uplift? Are changing the situation?
Or JUST CREATING ANOTHER DATA which will become the next FORWARD?
