TRANSLATION: ( By performing samyama ) on the heart, awareness of the nature of the mind.-PATANJALI YOGA SYSTEM.
When Sanskrit and Hindi are placed on the colour chart, their base line is on the Blue zone, which is different from Western script with its base line on the Yellow zone. ( I will tell you more about these zones and how they relate to handwriting in my Graphology Course, as I am writing this at present, you will have to wait a bit ).
It is interesting to see that, in the Indian religious system, their form of prayer and devotion is in the singing of mantra's that connect them with God.
Also, the way the letters are constructed indicates how the Indian people tend to look inside themselves to find God through the practice of meditation.
While in the Western world, with a majority of our writing showing a small middle zone, it indicates that we tend to perceive God as being something outside ourselves.
The letters of the Indian script are constructed in such a way as to make it impossible for them to be written with a small middle zone.
In India, you will find that the majority of their buildings have flat roofs. see how similar this is to the shape of their letters.
