Tony/falling back

[Guest guest]

<Tony: OK let me fall back on to my learning

system of Vedanta. >

 

~ Dear

I much prefer your communications

when you fall back on your direct experience.

< Xan, I fall back on the Vedantic terminology for it is

direct and understandable. My experience is what I try

to write. Western language falls far short of the

Sanskrit in it's descriptive power, especially with

regard to spiritual concepts.

 

Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.

 

~ Tony, "direct and understandable" is relative

of course. I am aware that Sanskrit has words

for states of consciousness that English does

not even approach. However, Sanskrit terms

are only understandable to those who have

learned their meanings. If my purpose is to

communicate clearly I use the language of

whoever I am speaking to.

 

I feel we are in a new time when, with the

increase of Westerners awakening in awareness,

we are compelled to develop ways of talking

about the indescribable in common terms.
