The idea of “wordlessness” is difficult to understand. How can we convey ideas without words?
Wisdom and knowledge usually come into being without words. Even if we are using words to understand something, we often have flashes of understanding unaccompanied by actual words. As we try to translate these ideas into our spoken or written language, we are most likely falling short of their complete meaning. Although it seems silly to try to describe the state of wordlessness using words, we must do so here to facilitate understanding: in Stillness, or wordlessness, the mind is in a state of childlike innocence which does not name, analyze, or prejudge. This mind perceives everything as new and as is.
