I was bird watching a few months ago at home when the lady who sweeps asked me in Tamil, " ஏனுங்க தன்னை போல இருந்துடீங்க ?" The literal translation may closely be "Why are you being by your SELF?" (This is a very common utterance) The words "தன்னை", which means 'Self' and "இருந்து", which means 'Being' struck a cord. Similarly goes the saying in Tamil, "சிவனேனு இருக்கிறேன்...", which closely may be translated as "I am being engrossed with Siva," or may be "I am inhering in S iva." (Also a very common utterance) Language seems to be reminding us of the 'essence', the 'being'.... May be all Indian languages or all languages for that matter. Random musings....
