    it's just sometimes i don't undertsand what the discussion is about when it's about stuff like nirvana/god ... cause doesn't matter what anyone says - it isn't right/it's all right.

    it's like talking about the menaing of 'OM'. when you say something about it - you already have killed it.

    What if I say Om is just a make of ice cream?

    The point is that although 'it' cannot be communicated in words, they can still guide us nearer to truth or divert away from it. And words can define more or less accurately relative truths.
    If you don't feel it's right to discuss these questions then that's fine. But perhaps some may wish to. Also, without words this particular thing here on the internet couln't exist at all. So by using it you are commiting yourself to using words. That is obvious.

    but doesn't it feel like when we use words - we keep missing the point. ?

    i know there is a world where words need to be used - freely and creativly - but when it evolves arround these things it just get's this dualled layer of meaning/no meaning ... just a funny feeling. naming what can't be named ...

    Words can take us to the threshold of infinity, but only silence can open the door.
