Poet Jagannatha writes in one of his works “Ramaneeyartha pratipaadaka shabdaha kaavyam” (That word which unfurls beautiful meaning is poetry).
An old man took his grandson who had returned from school to the post office nearby. He had to post a letter to his friend abroad. The postmaster weighed the post card to tell the old man the amount of stamp to paste over it. The curiously looking grandson asked his grandfather, “Thatha, why do they weigh the postcard? The elderly man told him about the stamp and that the weight of the postcard will be decisive for them to calculate the value of the stamp to be pasted on the card as the charges to take it to his friend abroad.
While coming out after depositing the card in the post box the old man told the young guy, “See Kanhaiya, it is not the weight of the card which matters more it is the weight of the words we put in it. Always we have to use light words instead of heavy ones. It is the words used in it which decides if the letter is heavy or not.”
The young boy did not understand it; he asked, “Thatha, how should I know which words are heavy?”
The old man explained the words which are harsh and hot which are inaudible are heavy ones while those which have the warmth in it are light. The elderly man went on to say,
Words can separate, words can unite.....
Words can spread out, words can get together.....
Words can lead, words can deceive.....
Words can discourage, words can give a round of applause.....
Words can maneuver, words can misguide.....
Words can wreck, words can consecrate.....
Words can contradict, words can admit.....
Words can plunge, words can elevate.....
Words can criticize, words can congratulate.....
Words can induce calm, words can create havoc.....
Words can abuse, words can motivate.....
Words can cause pain, words can relieve pain.....
Words can complicate things, words can ease things.....
Words can systematize, words can create confusion.....
Words can instigate war, words can inspire peace.
“The words that have concealed wicked intents behind them are very heavy; they fall like huge boulders on those whom it is use, so Kanhaiya never use heavy word to anyone they cannot tolerate the weigh of it,” told the old man to his grandson while walking back home from the post office.
The young fellow felt very light and warm hearing to the words of his grandfather. They both hurried to have a heavy and hot lunch at home.
