Language Is The Carrier Of Thoughts

**Note: If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, be aware of the emotions or reactions.

Thoughts are carried by language. Without words, how can one think and reason?

This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Those have become so important in life.

So is the language.

That's to say,

The language has become such important part of life.

Language is everywhere.

From the supermarket,

To the book,

To the mobile phone,

Computer,

To the daily conversation between people,

To all kinds of TV series,

Entertainment programs,

Videos,

Audios,

Podcast.

Language is everywhere,

But we rarely use it carefully.

We abuse it in all kinds of ways,

Without any awareness.

Language is a tool which should have been used with caution very carefully.

Because the mind has been trained to react to the symbols,

To the verse,

To the sentences.

If the language is not used carefully,

It will take a lot of things from the mind.

What's language?

How can I think?

Verse,

Sentences have been the carrier of thoughts.

We think in term languages,

Verse in terms of images.

The all kinds reasoning is also based on the language.

The all kinds linguistic logic.

So every time we speak something,

The verse will trigger some images in the mind very quickly.

Because the mind has been trained from youth in this way,

That the mind has reacted to the verse very,

Very quickly.

Unfortunately or unfortunatly,

The speaker's language is not English,

So his reaction to verse is much slower than many of our listeners.

So if we really go slowly,

Notice that how influential the verse are on the mind.
