Pay Attention to The Meaning, Not to The Words

 Pay Attention to The Meaning, Not to The Words

The Buddha used to request that his pupils do a specific reflection: "Go to the road and watch everyone cruising by, going back and forth in the city. See the precisely very thing is occurring. Try not to pay attention to their words since they are extremely tricky, they have become exceptionally misleading. Pay attention to the importance."

It is difficult to accept that these words are as relevant to the present current, scholarly, word-intoxicated mankind as they probably were in those days.

So the fact of the matter is, look further into things. Individuals might utilize similar words, however, they don't utilize them with similar importance. Pay attention to the importance instead of just paying attention to the words. Assuming that all you pay attention to is the words you won't ever grasp individuals. Our words come from the keenness, from the character, which has frequently become so phony that we don't intend what we say. Correspondence has turned into social decorum; it doesn't exactly come from our hearts or our being. Researchers let us know that words convey bio-electric energy, so the profundity of importance is proportionate to the profundity of the speaker. In the event that the speaker is a true and heart-situated individual, he will express a couple of words with significant importance and pass everything on through his non-verbal communication, his eyes, his glow, and looks. You will be normally attracted to this individual.

Also, how might that be useful in your own inward development, one might inquire. The following stage, which makes this contemplation complete, is provided by Osho:

"This will be exceptionally useful for your own inward development and noticing your own switch of gears. Simply watch individuals. It is simpler to watch individuals than to watch yourself, at the outset, since individuals are more goals, and there is a little distance between you and them. Furthermore, you can be more goal about individuals since you are not engaged with them. Simply watch. At the point when someone is saying something, pay attention to his face, to his eyes, to his being, to the signals, and you will be basically amazed how, up to now, you have lived exclusively with words. An individual might be saying, 'I love you and his eyes might be essentially denying it. An individual might be grinning with his lips and his eyes might be mocking you, dismissing you. An individual might be making proper acquaintance and holding your hand, and his entire being might be censuring you."

This is the language behind the language. Let each and every individual who comes to you be an examination in mindfulness. Then, eventually, you will actually want to watch yourself. Direct the whole surge of your own life energy upon yourself, and attempt a similar method - when you share with someone 'I love you', pay attention to what you truly are talking about, not simply to these words. Words are quite often phony. Language is exceptionally interesting and can dress things so flawlessly that the holder turns out to be vital and you fail to focus on the substance. Individuals have become exceptionally refined, taking everything into account, yet their deepest center remaining parts are crude. Pay attention to the focal point of the outline. In the event that you are quiet inside, you can go into the words like an X-beam, and unexpectedly you feel profound prosperity emerging in you, profound happiness for reasons unknown.
