This work of spiritual transformation is a magnificent process. Through it we are literally reintegrating split off parts of ourselves which, when left on their own, create and recreate painful patterns. Over time, these aspects generate momentum resulting in negative patterns that carry the day. We get caught in them and can’t reverse them.

We seem to be their victim and no longer connect with how we created this movement we’re carried along in. But it is possible to unwind all this, to reverse the momentum and rise up from the charred remains of our faulty creations. 

हम अपने द्वारा बोले जाने वाले शब्दों को अवरुद्ध करने में बहुत समय व्यतीत करते हैं। हम वास्तव में इसी उद्देश्य के लिए आंतरिक शोर उत्पन्न करते हैं।
हम अपने द्वारा बोले जाने वाले शब्दों को अवरुद्ध करने में बहुत समय व्यतीत करते हैं। हम वास्तव में इसी उद्देश्य के लिए आंतरिक शोर उत्पन्न करते हैं।

Let’s look at precisely how such a process can be consciously initiated to transition from negative creations to positive self-perpetuating motion. All by using our voluntary will and the power of the word.

What is the word?

वास्तव में शब्द क्या है? यह रचनात्मक एजेंट है जो आंदोलन और एक व्यवस्थित श्रृंखला प्रतिक्रिया को लॉन्च करता है, जिसमें एक लिंक दूसरे के बाद अनिवार्य रूप से होता है। लाइन के अंत तक, शब्द एक विलेख बन जाता है, एक तथ्य - एक तैयार रचना।

Words are the blueprint necessary for building any structure. The word, in fact, is what’s behind all creation. Nothing in creation can exist unless a word has been spoken, known, held, believed in and committed to. The word both expresses and creates by forming patterns of energy.

These then form additional nuclei where each point or link—which is also a word—becomes a secondary creative agent. The word is plan and opinion, knowledge and consciousness, feeling and attitude and intention. Words carry their own kind of powerful energy that is not like other energies. Words are all this and more.

The spoken word reveals the will—either divine will or the split-off ignorant will—that is the motivating force behind what is being uttered. In any area where we speak, our words are the sum total of our beliefs, be they conscious or not. Like the sun that creates the planets, the word is the energizing force and it is the design. So incredibly much is contained within the word.

पवित्र शास्त्र की शुरुआत इस बात से होती है कि शुरुआत में-या वास्तव में था is-शब्द। शब्द शाश्वत है; यह हमेशा रहेगा। यह परमेश्वर के बोले गए वचन से है कि सारी सृष्टि हमारे व्यक्तित्वों सहित अस्तित्व में आई। यह हमारी अनोखी भावनाओं और अनुभवों से लेकर ग्रहों की प्रणालियों और सभी लोगों की अधिक से अधिक चेतना के निर्माण के पीछे है।

What should we do with this truth? How can we put it to good use in our daily lives? For one thing, we can become aware that every situation we experience in life is the product of words we ourselves have spoken. Day in and day out, in every hour and every minute, we are constantly speaking words on various levels of our being. The goal of this spiritual path is to make all these words conscious. Because that is the only way for us to understand our creations.

दुर्भाग्यवश, हम जो शब्द बोलते हैं, उसे व्यस्त करने में हम बहुत समय व्यतीत करते हैं। हम वास्तव में इस उद्देश्य के लिए आंतरिक शोर पैदा करते हैं। बस यह क्या है जो हम कह रहे हैं कि हम सुनना नहीं चाहते हैं?

Contradictory words

Words can be in disagreement within themselves. This happens when we speak opposite words on different levels of our awareness so that they effectively cancel each other out. This confuses us and we create accordingly. We also create fog so that we can’t see what we’re saying, allowing some words to overshadow others.

We need to get clear about which words are doing the creating, especially of the aspects we don’t like. These are sharp tools we’re handling. It’s time to see the power they wield to produce disasters or delightful successes.

When we speak words of beauty and truth, but underneath lies incompatible material, we create, at best, a short circuit and, at worst, a split in our consciousness. This is why it’s preferable in the beginning to honestly admit the negativity of our Lower Self. This is an act of truthfulness, humility, courage and faith. And there’s nothing wrong with these Higher Self qualities.

यदि, दूसरी ओर, हम ऐसे शब्द बोलते हैं जो ईश्वरीय सिद्धांतों को प्रकट करते हैं, लेकिन ऐसा तब करते हैं जब लोअर सेल्फ अभी भी छिपा हुआ है, हम इच्छाधारी सोच, गर्व, विश्वास की कमी और दूसरों को देखने देने के डर से लाइन में खड़े हैं हमारी खामियां। हम यथार्थवादी तरीके से बढ़ने और चिकित्सा की प्रक्रिया को झटका दे रहे हैं। असीम बहुतायत के बारे में शब्द, तब, बिना सच के बोले जा सकते हैं।

Words and worth

There is a direct link between the words we choose and our self-value. Think about it: Is it possible to talk about faith and the unfoldment of our beings from one side of our mouths, while we’re silently whispering that we have no value from the other?

Deep in our hearts, we all carry some shards of feeling worthless. How can we challenge this if we secretly are terrified that worthlessness is the truth of who we are? All we can do is to block this “knowledge” and defend ourselves against it.

In truth, it’s these defensive maneuvers that reinforce this notion that we’re unacceptable. This is so because our defenses are purely destructive guilt-generators. Even if we become belligerent and tell ourselves we do deserve peace of mind, pleasure and abundance, deep down we feel we don’t really deserve this and so fear we’ll never have it.

Worse, we fear that if we did manage any kind of fulfillment, we’d need to steal it and would therefore be punished. On the surface then, we may speak words about what we long for—which is the same as what every human longs for and indeed should experience—while simultaneously undermining ourselves on another level.

This state of division and self-denial makes us pessimistic about life and fearful of the world. Our vision is fragmented and so is our experience.

What our words create

Our goal is to establish a one-pointed word. To do this, it will take honesty and courage to expose ourselves and our devastating belief in our lack of value. We must pierce through our facades and cover-up stories to see our painful feelings about being unlovable. And then we can cast our doubt on our self-doubt. This is the avenue that leads to pronouncements of real truth.

हम सच्चाई के बारे में सवालों के साथ अपने आत्म-संदेह का ढक्कन खोल सकते हैं। "क्या यह सच है कि मुझे अपना मूल्य महसूस करने के लिए अपना बचाव करने की आवश्यकता है?" "मेरे अहंकार के तहत, क्या मैं अपने मूल्य के बारे में संदेह में हूँ?" तब हम अपने आप से पूछ सकते हैं: "क्या यह सच है कि मेरे दोष मुझे अवांछनीय और अप्राप्य बनाते हैं?" "क्या मेरे अंदर ऐसा कुछ है जो खुद से प्यार करने को सही ठहराता है?" इस तरह के सवाल सच्चाई के शब्द ले जा सकते हैं।

जब वे अच्छी तरह से व्यक्त नहीं होते हैं तो शब्द कम शक्तिशाली नहीं होते हैं। अस्पष्ट और धुंधले शब्दों को क्रिस्टलीय बनाने और धुएं के परदे के पीछे से बाहर लाने की आवश्यकता है। उस ऊर्जा को देखना शुरू करें जो विचार धारण करते हैं और उन्हें बनाने की शक्ति है। यह उतनी ऊर्जा नहीं है जितनी अन्य स्तरों पर व्यक्त की जाती है, क्योंकि मानसिक, शारीरिक, भावनात्मक और प्रत्येक एक्सप्रेस को अलग-अलग तरीकों से समतल किया जाएगा। बस शब्द की शक्ति और ऊर्जा को कम मत समझो।

We may think our thoughts and comments—either said loudly or silently—do not matter. This is so not true. The silent word is not necessarily less powerful than a word that is uttered. In fact, words that wash across our vocal cords may well have much less energy than the ones held inside that are rooted in strong beliefs.

We use these lightly spoken words, said without feeling or conviction, to fill the void inside us with fog. This separates our consciousness from the words we speak that do have power—for good or for bad—and therefore this pitter-patter of thoughts has a serious effect.

हम वही हैं जो अनजाने में या अनजाने में रचनात्मक प्रक्रिया को गति देते हैं सब हमारे शब्द। भूमिगत शोर में ट्यूनिंग, और हमारे शब्दों को देखने और पहचानने से, हम अपने जीवन को कैसे बनाते हैं, इसकी बेहतर समझ प्राप्त करेंगे।

The power of beliefs

Sometimes our words contradict divine truth. This sends our energies into involuntary patterns that make life seem dangerous and foreign. It feels like we must defend ourselves against life, like we’re a helpless pawn. So, we can pick another word that aligns with the truth of creation and start creating benign circles of love and bliss, joy and abundance.

No joy? No abundance? We must be speaking a word that denies this possibility. Maybe we secretly believe we don’t deserve it. Maybe we don’t think it even exists. Perhaps we feel too bad or evil to deserve fulfillment. All this might be hidden from our conscious mind, which generally just feels pessimistic and adrift.

Then feelings of helplessness may seem overwhelming. Know this: there is a chain of cause and effect linking our words and our experience. It can be found and unwound.

Holding onto a nihilistic belief about a terrible world may seem preferable to seeing our own painful belief that we’re not worthy of the joy of life. But if we believe this, we’re not in truth. We need to find the words behind such thoughts.

Find the ones that say, “it’s dangerous to love, it will hurt me.” These are untruths that create nothing but painful patterns that make them seem true. But no, still not truth. These words—not real reality—are what keep us from experiencing the fulfillment we long for.

कुछ शब्द हमारे अचेतन में इतने गहरे बोले जाते हैं कि हम उनके बारे में बिल्कुल भी नहीं जानते हैं। जब हम सतह पर चारों ओर छींटे मार रहे हैं तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे वे समुद्र के तल पर बोले गए हों। लेकिन पानी के नीचे एक कान के साथ, हम उन्हें धुनना शुरू कर सकते हैं। इस तरह का प्रयास है कि हमें जो भी संकेत और सुराग मिलते हैं, उनका पालन करना चाहिए। ध्यान से चुपचाप बैठना सुनने का एक अच्छा अवसर है।

Words vs. thoughts

We’re referring here to “words” rather than “thoughts” because the word is what immediately creates. It’s the energy explosion. The thought is the content—the result of underlying factors—that goes on to express itself through the word. That said, the word occurs at the inception of the thought. So it’s not possible to have a thought without the word. It simply could not exist. But again, the word may or may not occur at the level of our conscious awareness or be vocalized.

The main take-away here is this: We need to take care with our words. We must make space for them to become clear and take responsibility for the words we say quietly within. Also, we can question their origin: Do they arise from a truthful thought or an untruthful one? We can reject, revise and debate our thoughts before the word clinches them, forming the finished product of the thought and beginning to create.

शब्दों और विचारों के बीच अंतर करना ऐसा लग सकता है जैसे हम बालों को विभाजित कर रहे हैं, लेकिन ऐसा नहीं है। यदि, उदाहरण के लिए, हमें लगता है कि सबसे अच्छा जीवन अयोग्य है, तो हम इस विचार पर सवाल उठा सकते हैं। लेकिन अगर हम इन शब्दों को अपने भीतर बोलते हैं, तो यह एक ऐसी रचना है जिसे अब हम स्वीकार करते हैं। यह हमारे लिए चुनौती नहीं है, इस पर बहस करें और इसलिए इसे सही करें। इस तरह से, हमारे लिए अनजान, हम एक ऐसी विचार शक्ति दे रहे हैं।

The importance of truthfulness

हमारे जीवन की नाव इस तरह के अधकचरे पत्थरों पर आगे-पीछे होती है, जो हमें दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण स्थलों तक ले जाती है। न केवल हम वर्तमान को नोटिस करते हैं, हम अब यह नहीं देखते हैं कि हमने इसे कैसे बनाया और इसे बदल सकते हैं। कहीं भी हम देखते हैं कि हमारी रचनाएँ सीमित और अवांछनीय हैं, हमें संबंधित शब्दों की तलाश करनी चाहिए जो ज़िम्मेदार हैं और अलग-अलग कहने लगते हैं।

If we do this by way of a superficial mantra, pasting “yes, I am worthy” over opposing words buried below, we’ll create a short circuit. Then we’re paying lip service in our thoughts and minds without unearthing the opposite word. We will know this is happening by looking at what’s manifesting. Make no mistake, that’s what always proves what’s really being spoken within.

Until we unwind all this for ourselves, we may be convinced that the positive words spoken on the surface are all that count. We might then use the fact of our opposite experiences as proof that life is unfair and untrustworthy. That our own inner processes have no bearing on what goes on. People, we then think, are victims of life.

Once we go a little further in our work though, we will uncover our unfortunate self-hate and our lack of faith in our own Higher Self. Knowing this information about words will help in our search for the imposters. Those are the parts of ourselves who still speak on our behalf but don’t represent our best interest.

The Oneness of opposite words

There are two words—giving and receiving—that deep inside ourselves sound like opposites. And this misnomer creates a big conflict. Mentally, superficially, we may have gotten the message that giving and receiving are one and the same thing. But many of us haven’t experienced this truth yet. Emotionally, there may be quite the chasm between them.

Here’s how this goes. When we diminish our own value through the words we say to ourselves, we become afraid. Our fear makes us avoid moving out into the world, so our heart won’t flow into another’s. We think the ticket out of this miserable state is to be loved. Then along comes love. But no matter how much we long for it, we can’t let it in. We find excuses to not accept it. Our mind may be divided but the truth that giving and receiving are one is still evident: As we don’t give, so we can’t receive.

To take in love, we must feel we are worthy of it. But if we feel worthless, then being loved threatens to expose this pain. Giving love also suffers, because we can only give love when we feel we deserve the pleasure of doing so. So, to receive love, we must feel we deserve it, and that can’t happen if we don’t wish to love.

यह एक गलत विचार है कि अगर हमें प्यार किया गया था, तो हम प्यार कर सकते थे। यह बस काम नहीं करता है। ये झूठे शब्द हैं जो हम अपने आप में किसी स्तर पर बोलते हैं। कोई और हमें वह प्रेम और भाव नहीं दे सकता, जिसकी हमें स्वयं को आवश्यकता है। अक्सर, वास्तव में, हमें दिया जाता है, लेकिन हम ईमानदारी से प्रेम के रूप में आते हैं - दूसरों से, भगवान से और जीवन से ही।

Due to our wrong thinking, we experience an impossible division—we can’t receive because we don’t give—instead of the oneness of giving and receiving. For in the simple act of taking in love, we are giving. Not being willing to take in what is given is a form of ungivingness.

Taking, then, is already giving, as long as we’re not grabbing or cheating. We can experience this in the way it hurts when something we have to give another is not wanted. But when they receive from us, they give us something.

A positive flow of words

यह सब एक अंतहीन प्रवाह बन सकता है, भले ही हम कभी-कभी खुद को एक चरण में अधिक पा सकते हैं, शायद केवल हमारे ईमानदारी से प्राप्त करने के माध्यम से। यह सब ठीक है। यदि हम सच्चाई और सुंदरता प्राप्त करते हैं, तो हम अपने संसाधनों से देने सहित, अन्य प्रकार के देने में मजबूत हो जाएंगे। हमें केवल अपने लिए उपयुक्त शब्दों को स्पष्ट करने की आवश्यकता है। ये वे हैं जो हमारी बढ़ती शक्ति को देने और प्राप्त करने में सहायता करते हैं, प्रत्येक सत्य, ज्ञान, सौंदर्य और ईश्वर की इच्छा के साथ संरेखण।

It takes courage to speak words of truth such as, “I can give my best and let God give through me—in truth, wisdom, beauty, strength and sincerity.” For one thing, we’ll need to give up our mistaken safety nets. This includes our shaky conclusions about the negative nature of life, which we may feel heavily invested in. But unless such falsehoods are relinquished, true words can’t be said.

We’ll need to have faith in a kind and caring universe. And such faith, in turn, requires a commitment. We must extend ourselves into unexplored alternatives, believing in a possibility we haven’t yet experienced for ourselves.

Having the courage to pronounce words of truth is the prerequisite to knowing a new truth. And faith, in the end, is always made up of courage and strength.
