Language is made up of words - the one or more sounds or letters
depending are they spoken or written. Words carry meaning of thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
Words are an essential component of communication, and they allow us to
express ourselves, convey information, and connect with others. Without
words, life, as we know it, would be impossible.
The
meaning of words is the mind and it varies from one individual to another.
Each individual's personality is based on the understanding of words which shapes one's beliefs and behavior.
The multiple meanings of the words make up requires consideration of the context in which the words are used. The separation of different meanings is selected and filtered by attention.
The attention is selective focus on a particular aspect of the environment while
ignoring other things. It is the ability to concentrate and direct mind
toward a specific task, meaning, thought, or sensation while filtering out
distractions.
Playing with human attention, people can be inspired, motivated, engaged or persuaded and controlled.
For the self-realization, the words should be left alone
The
mind must stop dwelling on the meaning of the words. The attention must be freed from any specific concept, and placed on the present moment before the meaning of the words.
The main thing for enlightenment is keeping controlled attention. That is the greatest gift
we can give to the world.
It is not so easy to keep attention to "I am" sense while we are meditating and alone. But, it's multiple times harder to maintain attention to ourselves when we are in the
company of others, especially if we are talking or engaging in activities
that demand our attention.
The practice of keeping attention to ourselves in the midst of a heated conversation is called "mindfulness". The main thing is to maintain our focus before the
meaning of words.
Daily meditation helps us to acquire the ability to be fully
present and attentive in the moment regardless of circumstances, even in the presence of
distractions.
