Visionary Speech (Paśyantī)
Meaning grasped whole in a flash — the luminous 'seeing' before it breaks into separate words.
Paśyantī, the 'seeing' speech, is the level at which meaning is grasped whole, as a flash of intuition, before it has broken up into separate words. Subtler than the inner chatter of the mind, it is a luminous, near-wordless apprehension — the moment one 'sees' what one is about to say or mean, all at once, without yet having put it into language. It stands just below the supreme Word and just above the formed speech of the mind.
