Don't
be stuck with words
We
attach meaning to words, and we distort them too. For example, the word
brainwashing. Your brain, like your body, needs washing sometimes. You don’t
want to walk around with a dirty brain, a dirty mind. What is wrong with the
word brainwashing? It indicates a clean brain, a clean mind. But it is used in
a derogatory manner.
Also,
the word disillusioned. It is good when you become disillusioned. You are out
of the illusion and have come to reality.
The
word purana, it means that which is new in the town, the most modern. But today
it conveys the sense of being very old.
Meanings
of words change in the course of time. The word, Enthused, comes from the Greek
language, which means, God is with us. Later on, Enthused came to mean Crazy,
and today the whole meaning of the word has changed again.
Don’t
be stuck with words. Your worries are words. Your ideas are words.
Wisdom
is beyond words. It is your very Being; the essence of all words. See and
relate beyond words. Then there is no lie in your life.
If
you manipulate words, it is a lie;
If
you play on words, it is a joke;
If
you rely on words, it is ignorance;
If
you transcend words, it is wisdom
