Impression And Expression

Do not make an effort to impress others, or to express yourself. Your
effort to express yourself becomes an impediment. Your effort to impress
someone also becomes futile. If you do not try to impress, expression
comes naturally. When you come from the self, your expression is perfect
and your impression lasts for ages.

Often you don’t seem to have a control over your impressions and
expressions. Wisdom is selecting your impressions and expressions.
Enlightenment is when you do not take any impressions at all, whether
good or bad. Then you “master” the art of expression. Many impressions
in the mind cause:

– Confusion

– Distraction

– Chaos

– Lack of focus

– and finally, derangement of the mind.

Nature has inbuilt in us a system through which it releases some of the
impressions – through dreams, and through meditation.

Excessive expression loses the depth and luster, the serenity of
yourself. Meditation erases the impressions and improves the expression.
