words of silence

"Silence is ocean, words are waves"

It was usual day when saw a message in orkut scrapbox that I should not give empty visit but also leave a message while peeping at the profile. It was from Mrs. Singh. I did not have anything in my mind at that time, so I left a blank message in her scrapbox. She thanked for it (may be in sarcastic way) and might have forgotten the whole episode but it kept ringing in my ears. So I wrote another scrap. After reading it, even I did not believe, that I had written it. it was regarding words and silence. Any way, it was sent to her. Here are few more words added to it.
Messages are always silent. Feelings are always wordless. They are expressed in world when one is incapable of transmitting or receiving it in their original form. Words have limitation. Meanings, which are derived from the words have further limitations. So, relying on words to get meaning will reap only partial objective.
Words arise from silence and merge back into it. They carry the meaning for the recipient and vanish after performing their duty. Sound is glimpse of what is contained in the silence.
Words in themselves don’t have meaning at all. They are just catalyst to link person to what is already known. Even a glimpse of word "“smile” flashes memories of smile which we had in past and then a surge of joy comes in mind. We understand the meaning. take another example, “Anand” Try to imagine the meaning. one can understand it as the highest joy. but he will understand that from his own understanding. Beyond that? He cannot understand. So it is your experience, which gives meaning to the word. it is you who give meaning to the words. so words are like aperture in the world of silence to peep into.
Sometimes a combination of words, try to convey something which is not beyond the apparent meaning of words. Take example of samasa in Sanskrit. Chaturbhuj means one with four hands but they also want to indicate to something more than that. Here that is Lord Vishnu. Again meaning is more hidden rather than in words.
In above case, one of the attributes of Lord Vishnu was taken and tried to compare with something which is already known. From that, there was extrapolation of understanding and we come closer to what was meant. What if there is nothing to compare? Words will fail. Silence will overtake. Feeling themselves have to be transmitted. Words will dilute if not distort feelings. In such case the speaker could only say
Yatho Vaacho nivartante apraapya mansaa Sah
And how will you understand it
Param drshtva nivartate
It is only by having the vision of that, that one can understand.
nanya pantha ayanaya vidyate
Leave the words behind and move into the realm of silence, which is the language of nature. This will help us in understanding
Ek vijnanam sarve vijnanam.
