Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Thank you, Sri Harsha-ji for your kind words and encouragement, and for recommending Greg to peruse my paper. I hope Gloria will get back on line soon. Regarding my search for a "perfect language": Ever since I remember I have been interested in words, language and communication, probably as means to obtain (unconditional?) love. I always wanted to understand (and love?) everybody, and to be understood (and loved?) by everybody. That's why I always try to adapt my way of talking to the person I am talking to, and try to understand the real meaning behind his/her words... - I suppose just like you and many other people... It always makes me rather sad, and often quite angry, that at 54 I am still being misunderstood a lot, and I still don't understand all people's "language" and thought... Very frustrating. However, I still (foolishly?) keep trying, and hoping that maybe one day I will get it right, or maybe stop being so anxious about getting it right. Participation in these Advaita groups taught me a lot about this - and I am still learning new things about myself and others every day. Thanks for being part of it all. Namaste, Ivan. _________________________ , "Harsha" <harsha-hkl@h...> wrote: > Sri Gloria Lee's server is not working properly and so she has not been able > to be on-line.
