When words are used to try and convince someone that a certain way to live is right, it's of the ego. A true testament to any awakening is demonstrated in silence because silence is what one awakens to...
Social media is a useful tools that can be used to connect with people and assist each other where years ago people were basically on their own, as far as interaction was concerned. Books were always available, but books limit your expansion to what's written because you only learn what the content that's presented in the book. It's very difficult for the expansion of the mind through knowledge alone. It's why I find social media so comical at times because of some of the content of the things that are written, they're as limited as the content of a book. People throw phrases around like the words really mean something, well they do but only to a Conditioned Mind.
You see if the mind wasn't conditioned the need for defining phrases wouldn't be needed. Take the phrase "there is no self" when this phrase is explained by someone, who is it that's explaining it. It's in trying to define that there's no self that one enforces a self. When there's an awareness that there's no explaining necessary to try and convince anyone of a correct way, it's then that real freedom from the bondage of self can be realized. Everyone's way is correct in a way because it's what's provided to them and this is because no two people are provided with the same exact view.
The point of this post is to state words aren't truly needed to define an awakening, no self, Nirvana, God, love, or whatever else one wants to use to define their great insightfulness which by the way are mostly made up by the Conditioned Mind. When true freedom is discovered it manifest as silence; words aren't needed. The less one uses words to try and convince others that there's a certain way to live the more the way is demonstrated to others; being an example of love needs no convincing...
