When ideas and thoughts trickle down the mind, and spread onto the canvas of life in the form of words and artistic expressions, they attain some sort of physicality or tangibility. Spoken words can be sensed by means of our body's auditory mechanism. Words that are written down are perceived visually. However, both are far more tangible in comparison to fuzzy ideas which tend to evaporate over a period of time. Words can help freeze an idea and shape it. The potential in an idea can be harnessed effectively by putting it first into words and then building on it through actions; thus, it can be turned into something bigger. Ideas which merely float in the space of our mind risk the danger of disappearing into oblivion if not acted upon. Your thoughts and artistic expressions tend to gain weight in the form of words, paintings, sculptures, etc., and eventually attain some form and assert themselves. You can shape, trim or prune them. Over time, they embody a certain personality and give you an idea as to what could become of them in the future. Depending on the environment, their own inherent value and the times and circumstances in which they exist, ideas can thrive and manifest in many different ways.

Uplifting the Mind Through Awareness

A constant churning of thoughts takes place inside the mind, which sends out sparks. Observing or witnessing them without judgment is the key. It can transform them by getting to their root. Amazing things transpire in our universe, that are beyond our comprehension or knowledge. We can sense, feel and understand the most complex phenomena or problems with the help of an ‘awakened’ view or outlook . It takes great amount of introspection, and discipline to stay aware and alert.

Words are amongst the important means to help us delve deep into the mind. They take us into the world of dreams and hold the power to wake us up from the slumber that we are in. We would be able to see the grandeur of our beautiful universe through the lens of our awakened mind, thoughts, words and actions!
