Words are empty and meaningless.
At best, they can serve as signposts, triggers or catalysts.

At worst, they cloud the mind.
Doctrines are vast collections of words. Scholars learn all the fat books by heart and think they have achieved learning...all they have done is covered their original clear mirror mind with garbage.
The monkey mind needs words. Observe his antics carefully..see the worlds he spins out from words..heavens and hells and other fantasies.

Truth lies in the silence beyond the words, in the indescribable reality of inner experience.
Why do I write these words , then?

I dont...they write themselves. They are just like my fingers ,pointing at the breathtakingly beautiful full moon radiant in the night-sky.
Look at the moon...not at the fingers.

i would not have the ordosity to call 'words' meaningless.... why because till now i didn't think the way your post has lead me to think. come to think of it.. words are mere sounds which dissolve upon being heard. then deriving meanings out of it is left to the frivolous human mind.
indeed people don't write words... words write themselves.
thanks alot for such a beautiful nd meaning post.
