Language is no doubt one of the greatest means of communication. If it is used unconsciously, which is more often than not, it creates lots of problems and misunderstanding. Have you noticed, our 99 per cent problems are created because of our words? Often we say things we don't mean and later we have to clarify ourselves or apologise. It depends where the words are coming from. If they are coming from emotions they carry lot of charge that hurts others. If they come from the intellect they trigger an argument.

NLP Psychologists have found that 98 per cent of human communication is non-verbal and only 2 per cent is verbal. In that case won't it be good if we use a language that will express ourselves and not create fire wherever it reaches?

There is such a language called Gibberish. The word Gibberish is not English, it is Arabic; and it comes from an enlightened Sufi mystic, Jabbar. Jabbar spoke so fast that his words would run over each other. It was impossible to make any sense out of what he said because there were no full stops, commas, and no indication of where the sentence began and where it ended. It was such an outburst of energy that the listeners found it mind blowing. This is exactly what he intended: to bring the mind to a stand still. It gave a taste of silence and relaxation to the listener.

Gibberish is immensely cathartic and a relaxing way of venting out tensions, or releasing bottled up emotions without hurting anybody, because people will not understand what you are trying to say. It is actually speaking in the language you don't know. It is a wonderful potion for the modern mind, which is trained to think logically, rationalise every act, or accumulate thoughts like a heap of garbage. Yes, garbage it sure is. The modern man is bombarded with much information from the electronic gadgets and media. This unprocessed information creates stress and he feels bogged down by it. This leads to many illnesses like migraine, headache, and other psychosomatic diseases. The cultured cultivated mind needs ventilation so that it can remain sane. Gibberish fulfils this need.
