Language is the fog through which we must peer to see reality. Remember that the finger pointing to the moon is not the moon, nor is the language pointing to the idea reality. Hermain Hess does a wonderful job of pointing at the moon, but do not confuse his words for the reality. Siddharth discovers reality outside of language by listening to the river and likewise you too will discover reality only by listening to the river. The river I imagine is the flow of events coursing along which our lives are manifest from, not like a cork bobbling along in a river for there is no cork external to the river, there is only river. Likewise there is no you external to the flow of reality. You are a manifestation of the flow, like a whirlpool in the river. When the conditions supporting that whirlpool change, the whirlpool dissipates and likewise so does you. Just remember that words are too much, but silence is insufficient. Reality lies between these extremes.
