I recently experienced a peculiar digital lag. I sent a message on WhatsApp and, as expected, it showed a single tick. I was waiting watching for the second tick to confirm delivery, and then the color change to indicate it had been read. But before the screen could update, my phone rang. The receiver was already on the line.
The message had traveled fast enough to reach the device, but the "return signal" to inform me of the delivery was lagging. The action was complete before the indicator could catch up.
This tiny tech "funda" immediately made me reflect on a piece of wisdom shared by almost all stalwarts and adhunik gurus: Be vigilant at the level of thoughts.
I now see the technical reason behind this. Before we speak, before we react, and long before our physical presence is felt, our thoughts travel with lightning speed. They reach the "receiver" without notice, often bypassing the visible "ticks" of conversation. By the time we actually say something, the mental signal has already arrived.
This is why, the moment a disturbing or useless thought pops up, we must divert it. We must pivot immediately to something healthy and constructive. It is not just for our own peace, but to protect the "other end" from a signal we never intended to finalize.
It is fascinating how a simple delay in a messaging app can validate an ancient truth. We are always broadcasting; it’s better to ensure the "transmission" is worth receiving.
The thought reaches long before the word arrives.
