Ancient Indians – Satya Samhita

All humans that I have ever encountered live in my head as the words they said, deeds they did and of course they way they look.

Unless someone looks like Hritik Roshan, they can’t distract me that way… so I am very safe from the looks of all real humans I am likely to meet.

But the words they say rankle and rankle knocking about in my head, with a knife to my throat. I never forget what they said or how those words make me feel..

In the corporate sector part of my life, the words I heard were selfish, political .. manipulative and distant from the truth. I do not miss those words at all.

In the teaching sector part of my life, the words I heard were foolish and obtuse, in addition to to the above. I do not miss a single conversation from that part of my work life. (Well maybe interactions with a few original thinking, genuine, enthusiastic students.. which is more than can be said for the coroprate sector.)

In the blogging sector of my life, the words I heard were irrational, ignorant of data, egoist, unthinking.. bordering on lunacy and never to the point. But hundreds of such interactions have thrown up a few divine, sane people, intelligent, original thinkers and for these people had I kept the doors open to all and sundry. (Now closed however!)

Words from my family are far more full of knowledge, love and wisdom than any I hear outside, in the samsarik world.. But words that stem from concern make me feel incompetent and I don’t like that. Especially if these words reflect deep love.  Love makes us want to swallow inaccuracies and forgive follies and put aside priorities. Love makes us want to compromise.

Words from my Veda Guru are probably, the wisest and most accurate especially with regard to Indian philosophy. Words from my previous guru were also very sensible and practicable and beneficial.

Words that come from the Rishis and from Krishna are superlative and thrilling. They make such crystal clear sense and require no filtering. When they knock about my head, they don’t hurt.. they make sense.. I love those words both sound and meaning.

I love words that tell stories and words that tell facts like science magazines and discovery channel .. for example. I don’t like mispronounced Vedic Chants, misrepresented facts, political speeches and otherwise incoherent, unverified claims, especially insults. I like the sounds of birds and frogs.

How does one get rid of word baggage?

1. Interact less with sources of ill-used words. ie switch off, shut off!
2. Since you can’t run away from people and people broadcast words all the time, stop responding. Be sooo boring, that mostly no one wants to speak to you.
3. What of people who chase you with their ideas and words, physically and mentally avoid them. My neighbour says I should ask them to shut up. What a lovely thought. I like this advice.

By the way, my veda guru listens to lesser mortals not so much to learn from them, but to assess them and see what words to give them so they may be healed and happy.
