Speech
or verbalized thought is a perversion of silence, this blog is an
online journal of this perversion in my sphere of silence.
A wise
man once told me that there are four states of communication,
- Para - the silence before the initial sound, the void where there is no subject and no object.
- Pashyanti - becoming aware of the thought / idea or concept. Pashyanti also means "seeing" or "being witness to" thus emerges the distinction between seer (drik) and object (drishya).
- Madhyama - verbalizing the conceived in a given language. To translate the experience of this concept, we fit the unbounded into the bounded rational framework using the first principles of the object.
- Vaikhari - speaking (or in this case writing) it out. The packaging and the sequence of the message.
The
perversion does not end in my sphere of awareness once spoken out.
The spoken words are then interpreted by the listener (or the reader)
and sends them into pashyanti.
