DAY 209

Come Together, Speak Together

Rigveda 10.191.2
기원전 1500~1200년경(구전 전승)
ORIGINAL
सं गच्छध्वं सं वदध्वं सं वो मनांसि जानताम् (saṃ gacchadhvaṃ saṃ vadadhvaṃ saṃ vo manāṃsi jānatām)
📜 THE VERSE

Walk together, speak together. Let your minds come to know one another — as the people of old shared their purpose.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Am I truly 'together' with those beside me, or merely apart in the same place?

📝Reflection

The very last hymn of the Rigveda is offered not to a god but from people to one another — walk together, speak together, come to know each other's minds. I find this ending moving. That what stands where three thousand years of song conclude is harmony. Even in the same house or office, if minds run apart we are not together. Togetherness does not happen on its own. Only when we match our steps, share our words, and take the trouble to know another's heart do we become 'we.'
