Some say words without deeds have no merit. I say this is a meritless distinction. Words and deeds are interwoven as quantum waves and particles.
Both the Upanishads and the Bible tell us that the power of the Word creates the material universe. Medical research shows that the power of the Mantra transforms and heals the neurology of one who knows how to use it properly in meditation. From Isaiah to Martin Luther King, prophetic words have changed the world.
Indigenous people know that holy places have holy names, and holy names vibrate with the presence of the places they name. Tribal wisdom hears sacred songs embedded in the plants of the forest and the feathers of the owl. So Earth is embedded in the story we tell about her.
Om Sat Nam. May our word engender our deed. May our deed keep our word. May we sing the world new.
