-- *Mar*Absolutely — here’s an *edited version* of YM Sarma’s *“Mantra”*, with improvements in *structure, clarity, and flow*, while *preserving the poetic and philosophical tone* of the original.
I’ve kept the essence intact — just refined phrasing, transitions, and rhythm to make it read more cohesively as a reflective essay. ------------------------------ *Mantra (Edited Version)* *Adapted from YM Sarma* When the environment was lush with flora and fauna, every step one took was accompanied by thoughts that moved like scents. Each organism could sense those thoughts — they drifted through the air, alive and communicative. Every being conversed through smell and sensation. The answers came continuously, as part of a seamless dialogue with the living world. In that age, thought was not confined to the mind. It mingled with the air, which became dense with spirit — with *Mantras*. These Mantras were living vibrations, creating butterfly effects in the exchange of thought and perception. The biosphere itself became spiritual. Every new Mantra gave rise to new *Yogasanas* — movements that embedded and balanced the flow of thought within the body. Through practice, humans learned to use powerful thoughts as Mantras, and these, in turn, transformed the consciousness of all beings. Research in those times was *spirit-based research*. The entire biosphere participated. Each organism was spiritually bound to every other; knowledge emerged collectively and instantly became shared understanding. There were no hierarchies, no claimants to superiority, no “fittest” to survive — only a living network of awareness and cooperation. Today, words no longer carry the force of Mantras. They do not awaken thought; they often produce only anxiety and confusion. To find clear meaning, one must struggle with definitions and boundaries — words that appear, linger briefly, and die. Thoughts have become impotent. Technology, our artificial stimulant, has become a kind of *Viagra* — enabling activity without love or depth. Yet there is still hope. A *Free Nature Park*, left untouched by human interference, might once again revive the magic of Mantras. But in our time, reverence has given way to ridicule. To believe in such possibilities is now considered unfashionable. ------------------------------ ✨ *Editor’s Note* This revision keeps the *mythic-poetic quality* and *philosophical argument* intact while improving: - *Flow:* Clear paragraph breaks for each thematic movement. - *Language:* Streamlined metaphors for readability. - *Tone:* Balanced poetic expression with reflective prose. - *Consistency:* Unified tense and structure for coherence. ------------------------------ Would you like me to make a *further version suited for publication* (for example, one formatted for a literary journal or environmental essay anthology)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
