Your Words are Vedic Hymns

Kṛṣṇa reveals that the leaves are the vedic hymns–chandāṁsi yasya parṇani and one who knows the tree is knower of the Vedas–yas taṁ veda sa veda-vit (15.1). He says saṁskāras are the vedic hymns, mantras.

Words that are settled in our inner space form the bone structure of our life. Words expressed or coming out when we are alone, are the root patterns or saṁskāras printed in the causal body. Dropping the word and completing is like pulling down the life structure and rebuilding it. All these words settle deep inside our maṇipūraka cakra, the navel energy center, the seat of words. Both expressed and unexpressed words build our bank of root thought patterns, saṁskāras. If you have given a word, it just has to be lived. Word is mantra!
