for quite sometime now i was caught in words as indeed all of the terrorists outfits operating in name of religion are, we have a tendency to catch the words, because for those who can look beyond words and catch the essence no waors are really required.

Jojo, u won’t beleive the amount and kind of beatings i have received in my life, keep on receiving for trying to point that which is the essence, which is beyond words. why i wrote what i did was that, paulo is a respected figure as is buddha and if someone ( maybe only 1 %) people conclude that one words is better than whole bible ( taking a cue from heart), then my writing was for them to not get caught up in words; for rest who anyway are looking at the essence this para from me is just ignorable, ain’t it !

thanks for taking notice ! caring enough to write back.

how about
“Instead of a thousand words,
Better just one,
One that brings peace,
better still thousand such words which bring peace”

these words maybe attributed to buddha, but who can exactly say what buddha said, for the first records of what buddha said was kept much after his death, even otherwise who knows what buddha said, for what is said and what is heard is / may not be same.

if one is better than many, then is God a fool to have allowed creation of many.

before anyone gets upset, let me say, i agree with spirit of the passage, it was probably against the ritualistic chanting of vedic mantras in those times when people recited the sounds without imbibing the feeling behind !

if its only one word which i say with love and sincereity then that one word is better than whole books, but if i write whole books with the same love and sincerity then nothing like it !
