“You are talking even when you’re silent....”


Excerpts from Stopped in Our Tracks : Third series ( part 2 ,“You are talking even when you’re silent....”)



Yesterday morning we were going to Berne with UG. Mitra was driving. We were near Bulle. Beautiful natural scenery on the way. The valleys near Rougemont were resplendent with the morning sun. Green meadows. In the meadows there were clusters of pine trees looking as if they were arranged artfully by someone. You couldn’t see any bare rocks or dirt anywhere on the mountains. It was all green as far as you could see.

Suddenly, as I was immersed in this nature worship, UG said,Chandrasekhar, this is something you have to experiment with and learn from your own experience. The external sound comes out only from the lungs and the throat. Those two are the only causes of our words, nothing else. The brain is not the cause at all. If you want, you try and find out. You observe. Even if the sounds are not heard outside, you are talking to yourself. The vocal chords in the throat keep moving. Then the lips also move. Or else, you must be involved with something totally disconnected with the present. Your vocal chords keep moving even when you are silently talking. You can observe it if you want," he said.

If Ug is true and if we could succeed in our attempt . The outcome will be really interesting

Praveen, your words,*"what will happen if we remove throat and lungs and replace them with some artificial ones"? may be very cute and cunning too! (Please, not offending.)

That triggers me to say,
'that* is simply raping the body system'.

Anyway,we need to find out the exact outcome.
