I was thinking about powerful words like karma, God, Dharma, Buddha, yagya, Goddess, angel, Shiva, Ganesh, Brahman, and all the other words that we use so regularly here. Before I began meditating, such words were confusing at best, and generally stale for me. I felt no immediate vibration from them, and no connection to them.
I find that now such words are alive, as alive as any living thing or possibly anything at all. The gradual transformation I have witnessed in my appreciation of such words has been remarkable when viewed over the span of my practice of TM. Perhaps it is the same with other techniques too, anything that reliably allows us to transcend the surface value of sound, to uncover the fullness and liveliness of it, way beyond the stale up-in-my-head definitions that I found so common and so dreary in my earlier years before TM really took hold. I mention this not as a unique experience, but rather as what I am sure is a common experience for all meditators, the experience of language becoming very very lively as our practice continues.
