on language

You can learn languages, as many languages as you want but don’t take them seriously. They are just part of social agreement to help you buy and sell things in the world, to help you interact with other human beings. Languages might point to some truth but they are not true themselves. There are moments in our lives, when nothing needs to be uttered, when this happens, it is time to remain calm and silent. Anything real comes out of silence. Flowers and mountains and oceans, days and nights --- come out of silence. Silence is a universal language; it is language of the heart.
