This morning,
rather being a calm, peaceful and beautiful one, it was hectic, anxious and
exasperating for me as I was about to be late for the office (my predictions, u
see), I finally took a sigh of relief when I managed to be on time for the
office cab and got inside. (It’s a kick start morning for me on working days as
I never get up until my mom actually kicks me). Urrghh..i wish I could work from
home!
As I glanced
through the car window, I saw the wet roads as it rained last night, the clouds
embracing the sun rays making the day soothing, tranquil and happier as
we would be abated from the scorching sun’s heat.It feels so nice on days like
these despite having a marathon start. I was tuning in to the music in the car
to get a feel of this would be cool day, when suddenly a wonderful allusive track was played ---> words are all i have by Boyzone.
I had listened
to this song earlier also as I could sing a couple of lines but
never tried to ponder over them. The song took me in a deep esoteric chain of
thoughts which resulted in this interior monologue that you are reading right now after
I contemplated over the song’s lyrics that touched my heart and remained
entangled there for a while.
In our lives,
there are a lot of things that we have at the moment, some had passed and some would come our way, but amidst all this, what is the cardinal point? It's WE, ourselves. It’s we always who
make our lives the way it is now and our Words and Behavior are among the important things that matter, that shape our
lives and indirectly reflects our mind. “What
you say” and “the way you say”
them makes a really big difference and the consequences for the same words
expressed differently can prove to be outstanding or excruciating depending
upon these two aspects. Because words once
spoken cannot be retrieved.
“Language shapes our behavior and each word we use is imbued with
multitudes of personal meaning. The right words spoken in the right way can
bring us love, money and respect, while the wrong words—or even the right words
spoken in the wrong way—can lead to a country to war. We must carefully
orchestrate our speech if we want to achieve our goals and bring our dreams to
fruition."
—Dr.
Andrew Newberg, Words Can Change Your Brain
And I can tell you that simply by changing your habitual
vocabulary—the words you consistently use to describe emotions—you can
instantaneously change how you think, how you feel, and how you live. This
is the power of what is called Transformational
Vocabulary—consciously using your words to improve the quality of your life
today and for the rest of your life.
This makes me
remind of a famous Sant Kabir Das Doha (Couplet) which aptly fits in:
ऐसी वाणी बोलिए मन का आपा खोए ।
औरन को सीतल करे आपहू सीतल होए ।
Translation-
Speak such words, sans ego's ploy
Body remains composed, giving the listener joy
Body remains composed, giving the listener joy
I always keep
searching for ways to revitalize my life by finding queen-sizehappiness in even
the olive-sized things that I came across with. And I love my life this way.
I come here to
capture the exquisiteness of life. And these “Words” of this song added another beautiful
leaf to my musical tree called Life. :)
Because..
It's only words
And words are all I have
And words are all I have
To take your heart away….
This Richi, is a peace giving post. Write more often! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks rachit!! :)
DeleteI will try to write more often!
The most amazing thing of the post is the elaboration of variety and correlation among things ,for example the way you embedded a quote from a person belonging to west and a doha of one of he most famous ancient poet sant kabir das ,to a single platform ,that is you correlated them to the importance of words ,is just beautiful . Plus , the pot emphasizes on the importance of *words* , thereby implying that its not the looks , not the body ,not the face ,all these are god gifts ,,what matters is words ,and using and implementing them is in our hand ,either it can b a sword or can be a flower , it depends on us , governed by us..o use it in the best way a you can ..
