That you hear is a fact. What you hear—is not. The fact can be experienced, and in that sense the sound of the word and the mental ripples it causes are experienced. There is no other reality behind it. Its meaning is purely conventional, to be remembered; a language can be easily forgotten, unless practiced.
***
Words do not convey facts, they signal them. Once you are beyond the person, you need no words.
***
Words and questions come from the mind and hold you there. To go beyond the mind, you must be silent and quiet. Peace and silence, silence and peace—this is the way beyond. Stop asking questions.
