:: Reflections for the young

Words are mere symbols. They are only pointers to reality. But most of us confuse the word for the real thing . In all religions there is a constant emphasis on worldless wisdom. The more silent we are inside,the more intense will be our experience of life. J Krishnamurti often stressed on the need for ‘wordless experience’. The moment we start naming something we have killed reality. The beauty of a rose is experienced only when we can perceive the flower without any verbalization. The moment we name it as a Rose, the experience is finished. This is the way we kill life. Reflect on how many times we have pigeon holed our experiences without allowing life to unveil its beauty to us. Human beings have this curious habit of naming a thing and then experiencing the object through that key hole.
