A language with No Words

There are many languages in the world. No matter how many languages exist in the world, no matter how many billions of words are present in each language, still there is something beyond the reach of billions of words in thousands of languages.

Recently, I visited a library. I saw a section in the library which was having only dictionaries of different languages. Standing in front of such a big shelf, I felt that it lacks something. It was a strange feeling for me. Standing in front of treasure of knowledge, a person can rarely feel that.

I was thinking about what actually made me feel that. I came out and saw a lady who could not talk. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was carrying a baby. Without any words, only with gestures she conveyed what she wants.

Then i was going back to home in a public transport. A person who was sitting beside me seemed to be very happy. He was a tourist. He was speaking about the places he visited and was admiring it. He was speaking in his language and i was speaking in my language. There were some words between us which we did not understand but i could make out that he was extremely happy.

I reached home in that sunny day and sat over the chair drinking a glass of cold water. My cat Pongo came through the open window. She sat over my lap and started cuddling. After 5 minutes she got down and stood in front of the kitchen adorably looking at me with her tiny round eyes. I understood that she was hungry.

There were no words. All that I found was feelings and emotions. I understood why i felt so when i was standing in front of the big dictionary shelf. Dictionary may have thousands of words. It can describe thousands of words. But it cannot describe the emotion. Words are incomplete without emotions.

Emotions are beyond the reach of words. It is just like air. It cannot be seen, cannot be heard, cannot be touched but can only be felt. When you feel that there are no words to explain what you feel. Stop explaining and start expressing. surrender yourself to the "language with no words".
