Choosing Judiciously, Breaking Free Wisely! Ways to Empowering Words


Immeasurable, is the Power of Empowered words 


So great is the impact of words upon people, that rarely sensed or understood. This power either hurts or heals; either crushes or builds; either breeds hatred or transforms.

Story of Words
The taxi was speeding, my mind raced faster. Things ran passed, I noticed none, ‘Asa Kusa, Main Road’, echoed repeatedly in my head.
  
A polite voice broke my slumber “Madam”, then “Asa Kusa temple,”
"Is it on the Main road?” I inquired holding my breath.
"Yeah”, answered the taxi driver.
 I paid him and stepped out. A huge temple gate stood on the other side of the road. A mass of people bustled on the temple compound. Serpent like I passed through, keen eyed to catch a glimpse of known faces.

“Come to the spot, where people wash their hands before entering the temple”,
 I was informed through a long awaited phone call, struggling to get connected over an hour. I couldn’t locate the spot. All I saw were the huge temple lamps and heads of people everywhere, blocking my sight. No twist or turn brought me any relief in my quest.
  
“What, if all had already left for another destination?” I contemplated and almost crippled myself with the troubling thought. An abrupt left turn halted me to a familiar shoulder back. One minute ago I almost collided with it. Softly I placed my palm upon it. With a startle turning back she cried out-
 “Oh! Ma’am, here you are at last!”

Cloud of emotions which was bellowing inside, found relief. Sweat once shed, was forgotten after reaching a destination, what life taught me that day.

However my relief had been short lived, before I could respond, a gunshot of questions hit me from all corners, who so ever was around and chose to pin me down.

”Where were you?”
“You didn’t answer any phone calls, why?’’
 “We waited and waited looking for you, but in vain.”
I tried to mumble my side of story” I was in the room…..”
No sooner than said an infuriated voice cut me through-
.”Ha! How could you? When the wake -up call was at 6.30, in the morning?”

I stood no chance to justify my reason against a sea of torrent waves of reactions, striking and pushing me into the whirlpool of their disgust. Those were arising from prolonged withheld anxiety and anger. My throat felt dry, then a lump choked it and no words came out of me.

Instant reaction as I had to face, is a blessing of our obsessions with new age machines. People are prone to, prompt and impulsive reactions, much in contrary to human nature in receiving. Often misused words  bring in pain, spread distress.

Within no time ‘I’ being the cause of all their distress, succumbed me completely. Overwhelming emotions crushed every little desire of mine to defend. I was numb, my senses defied to retaliate. Standing there, I felt as if ‘crucified alive,’ amid a crowd of people with whom I couldn’t relate to, nor could they. A fireball of guilt began tearing my image to shame first and disillusionment later.

Time and over I have come to realize, guilt is a conditioned response. One may choose to shed it off quickly. But pent up emotions often block to do so, especially at a moment of acute distress. Unfortunately many victims withdraw silently like me,   their hearts aching, bearing the burden of crushed self-images.

Then a voice spoke beside me,
”I came to your room, knocked, waited for an answer.”         
 Something in the tone made me to look up. Words struggled within, yet failed to break free. In an unbearable stress I uttered –
“No message was left behind.”

Quietness fell between us and it didn’t hurt. That was better than the words; those tussled earlier and poured out meaninglessly, causing injuries. Silence then rested upon my bruised soul.

Vinita Dwara Singh, a well-known writer, comments-
“You say it best, when you say nothing at all”.

That was the day I missed the train and was in anguish, with the torrent words as poured over me all through the day. For I had to share with the world, the harsh truth about miseries, our words often bring to the people. 


A Drive for Empowering Actions


Empowering Words create Abundance
Such realization if dawned upon us, that, those words which emitted empathy, joy, would build ways to human abundance and transmit peace in the world, were the only Empowered words'. A proven fact by Dr. Masaru Emoto of Japan & a landmark discovery of measurable power of words, would go a long way transforming human bonding by empowering words with positive words, creating a true Border-less, Abundant Human World.
-That Day will glorify we are truly "The People 
of One World ".

Friends Bring Abundance In Life

Diversity at crossroad......


Walking Encoded!


Universe resonates with varied sounds and sights. These sounds are not coded like any other known languages.

Can people connect, resonate, and develop understanding beyond any known languages?

Triumphed I returned from an errand of successful communication. As natural to human nature, I wished to share my experience, sooner the better. In an elated, light hearten mood, 
I exclaimed, “Oh! I feel as if, an expert in sign languages”. 

Overhearing me, one of the fellow travelers, responded in a sharp tone, 

"Japanese is the ninth, most internationally spoken languages”. Then continued, “Download an App to translate”. 
Soon a tussle over supremacy of languages was about to brew, if a chance was given.

In an age of several apps on handy, the suggestion was quite valuable. Contrarily, all do not feel comfortable to use many apps, in spite of knowing the fact, their advantages. Voicing my opinion seemed inappropriate at that time. For showing a difference of opinion in public often reflected ill feelings to one another.

Japan is a nation, where people take pride to communicate in their mother tongue. When their communications fail, especially to the foreigners; they express through gestures.

My first two days had been a battle of Waterloo! Defeat after defeat, on the streets of Tokyo, while communicating at the shops, railway ticket counter, on a train, giving an order for dinner.

To everyone’s relief, the Japanese people never give up. Being a much aware nation, people here understand language difficulties, that tourists like me face. Men and women relentlessly continue their efforts, while dealing with the visiting tourists till they see results.

My friend, Isha speaks Spanish, and I admire her. Learning a language is not easy. Some have knack and ear, so pick up quickly. I am not one of them. Yet then, that does not deter me from admiring any languages, which I don’t know.

I remembered the day, years before, at a souvenir shop, Louvre museum, Paris. The lady at the counter spoke to me in crisp French which I didn’t understand. Looking at my baffled face, she smartly switched over, to hand gestures, and, it was not difficult for me, to pick up the cues; what she was trying to say. Once the deal was met we parted with smiles and twinkles in our eyes. 
Two people speaking two different languages from two different poles, creating an understanding, winning over their language barriers.


Dilemma in choosing Languages

                           Which  One  Will  You  Choose?


These instances make me to ponder over a debate, relevant to current age. What would be the language or languages of the world when the concept of merging the borders is being realized? Would the tendency to conform continue? Or the diversity in languages would be preserved adopting tolerance, thus valuing it, for co-existence?


In actualizing the concept of ‘Global Village’, addressing as ‘I and You’, ‘Mine and Yours’ probably would require giving way to ‘We and Ours’. Then provincialism, nationalism, internationalism which divide people will turn out archaic strategies of a bygone era. Moreover neither any culture, nor any language would be considered superior, or status quo. 

This highest order of ‘One World’ would lie in encompassing all diversities, varied melodies, languages, cultures, into one complete whole as ‘The World People’, bringing  greater joy, and, abundant lives.

When the world is in apathy,.........

Disconnected! Don't we often feel disconnected even though surrounded by people? But then, how to feel we really belong to this world!




The Great Buddha Of Kamakura, Japan
An Apostle of Serenity and Peace



          


Today the world is in acute unrest. All societies seem in a state of flux. Be it this country or that country. Adding to that is super fast life midst jargon of technologies, which has created confusion, visible everywhere.

Impact upon human beings is profound. As is notable in surmounting intolerance and differences in opinion. A little adjustment as required in harmonious co-existence is missing. Can we deny the fact, that people are not tussling within, struggling to find a place in the world outside, while masking their unhappiness?

Not enough that, it also appears the growth of human relationship is stumbling, as if  about to stagnate. Family break ups,religious intolerance,cross border aggression,over powering the weak, are the realities of this age.Therefore can we claim that we are progressing?

  People of the world can not possibly flourish this way. Isn't the present time asking us to open our eyes, and our minds as well, to look within and stop upheavals which we have created for ourselves? But how? Answer lies within us.

 


Those of us who wish to help themselves, will find going into quietness for once a day proves a blessing.For they acquire higher self awareness, better understanding about the world around and able to connect with calmness and maturity. Moreover  silence is also a nurturing realm of creative solutions, to conquer many challenges of life.

The way to human abundance.

-Ina



















Are we chasing an ILLUSION, leaving a REALITY?



Can we claim that we are really happy?

In our quest for happiness are we walking on a relevant road leading to our cherished destination?

Or we are adapting to an illusion, thinking that we are reaching this destination and will be happy ever after.

Probably the concept of what is Being happy’ has not yet been understood by us in its true essence. We have picked up a short route, getting convinced and consumed by consumerism of modern age.  Are we not in a fierce competition of hoarding physical assets, thereafter showcasing our possessed glitter and glamour to the world; imposing upon others to believe, happiness is easily make-able like making instant coffee. In thinking so are we not being engulfed in a black hole of virtual reality? Can we deny the truth of creating a situation, of becoming bundles of unhappy beings, tussling in chaotic realms, unable to tune with our inner and outer worlds. In consequence, we are making happiness look like a mirage, never attainable.





Chanie Gorkin, an 11th grader of Brooklyn, NY opines-

One can be happy when
the world around is good.

Psychosomatic illnesses arising from distorted image of deriving happiness has already ruined many of us. This malady has now turned endemic. Our decline is so steep that Futurists are programming the children, offering courses on happiness. Researchers are spending sleepless nights exploring possibilities to real happiness.



   



Swami Vivekananda, the great sage and thinker of Modern India commented once---

Help comes from within us,
We answer the prayers ourselves.

His words are so relevant which make us to reflect. We have become intellectual giants but emotional dwarfs. For we are totally alien to the world, our emotions, that reside within us. To nurture this potential, in order to achieve a state of happiness; requires thoughtful and organized efforts. First, we actually wish to be happy, this need is to be acknowledged. Second, our relevant endeavour to nurture this need. Third, we need to practise and attain a state of happiness.

Surrendering the efforts half way, with misleading thoughts; that the effort is dropped in an ocean of chaos, will prove self-sabotaging. Actions generated from this state of equilibrium and mind will then permeate outside, creating a world much vibrant and an abode for human beings. The choice of making a world of this vision rests upon our attitude.

Elevating our inner world is the way to happiness and abundant life.
