Words are made by the mind and are meaningful only on the level of the mind.

The word 'bread':neither can you eat nor live by it;

it merely conveys an idea.

It acquires meaning only with the actual eating.

In the same sense am I telling you that the Normal State is not verbal.

I may say it is wise love expressed in action, but these words convey little, unless you experience them in their fullness and beauty.

The eternal paradox of words: empty vessels that contain only the echoes of meaning. Like bread, they're just a promise of sustenance, until you sink your teeth into the real deal. I love how Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj cuts through the verbosity and gets straight to the point – true wisdom is lived, not verbalized. What's your take on this? #TruthInAction
