For most people on this planet,

Life is rather verbal.

The mind has been enslaved to verbs,

Slogans,

Conclusions,

And expressions.

And verbs carry the thoughts,

All kinds of concepts,

Ideas,

Pleasure,

Imagination,

And illusions.

And a verbal mind is conditioned to numerous ideas,

Ideology,

Concepts,

Philosophies,

Or any personal experiences which are still verbal.

All in all,

The mind is trapped and dominated by the language.

And we all rely on the language for all kinds of things.

The very dependence of the language implies this inward laziness of the mind,

Which is the source and root of the superficialities of this world,

A world trapped in verse.

Can you observe this in yourself?

See how verbal your life is?

The mind keeps chattering.

The organs,

Thoughts,

Talking inside the mind,

Which already shows that the mind is verbal,

Trapped in verse so deeply.

And the mind identifies itself with the verse.

That's what most people feel about their relationship with the language.

They are the language.

You also feel in the same way because the mind has identified itself with the language.
