" LET’S TALK MISUNDERSTANDING "

We all must have often heard our self and other people saying about their closest friends ,girlfriends, boyfriends(never husbands and wives though!) that we share this level of understanding . They sum up quite a lot in that one word.
Misunderstanding is the stepping stone towards confusion, chaos. Is it that we are talking too much, in that incessant chatter, that we surpass our realms of beautiful silence and step into the dark clouds of meaningless thoughts, each word is like a thunderbolt, sometimes it misses our mind , but Lo behold, when it does strike we are astonished at the interpretations
The word understand is beautiful . When you are in meditation EVER THING STANDS UNDER YOU , YOU ARE SO ABOVE IT. Intellect can’t see it , it is on the same plane. Understanding happens when problem is on one plane and you are on a higher plane.
You see one thing and you understand something else. Your mind immediately distorts it . It makes a mess of everything , it is in confusion &you look through that confusion, so the world looks confused.
Once you say something u r no more a master of it.
Your words belong to the listener, he will squeeze his own meaning out of it, It entirely depends on his state of awareness.
On Krishna’s Bhagvad Gita , there are 1000 commentaries & further thousand interpretations, on each of his statement . But Krishna was just talking to his disciple & friend Arjun . It was a love dialogue. I f he comes back , & reads even he will not be able to get how things have been twisted up.
Language is hindrance.
You will have to put aside the word ROSE. When you see a red rose on a bush, in the rain , in the sun , in the wind , do not go on repeating that ‘’ this is a rose’’, otherwise you will carry a curtain on your ears, eyes, you won’t be able to see o feel it.
And do not say it’s a beautiful rose as beautiful is a word again , just penetrate and encounter beauty. Clean the passage between you and the rose, and do not compare it with other roses that you have seen before, otherwise you would say , it’s more beautiful than the last years roses or better than those of the neighbour’s.
Again you will be lost in teh maze of words. Just look and forget all language, in that forgetting understanding arises.
The clarity will not come from logic , intellect, analysis, it comes through silence. If in your silence somebody’s word falls you can not misinterpret it, because there is nobody to interfere. Either you understand it or you don’t , there is no way to misunderstand.
Learn silence, at least with your friends, with your lovers your family, sit in silence sometimes.
Do not go on gossiping .Stop the talk even inside.
Just sit there being presences to each other. And soon you will find a way to communicate
GOOD WISHES TO ALL
