"Self is not grasped by Words"

 

 

 

1. Words are symbols of experiences lived by the mind and so words cannot express deeper experiences or trans-mind joys.

 
 
 

2. Even when experiences are rather intimate and deep, words fail.

 
 
 

3. Naturally, the experiences in the white-heat of intense meditation cannot be expressed in terms of a frail language which is insufficient even to express my love for my own beloved!

 
 

4. Hence the scripture says, "Self is not grasped by words."

 
 
 

5. It is only through mutual feelings that one can understand love; a real lover can appreciate the depth of sincerity even through 'silence.'

 

6. So too, it is in the silence  between two minds,  as it were,  that the Sruti takes Her courtiers into the ample bosom where  they experience the joy and glory of "Godhood"!
