Firstly, we need to calm our minds, then sharpen the intellect and ponder whether science has given us speed or excitement. What is the difference between veg (speed), power and aaveg (excitement) as manifested in the form of a gigantic power ? In the context of grammar we can say that when we add a prefix to veg we get aaveg. This has really come true today. When power gets a boost, it manifests itself into excitement. If we want to understand in a simple manner, we can clarify thus : that which can be stopped is speed, and that which is very difficult to contain is excitement or impulsiveness. Doesn't a flowing river have speed ? But a small dam built on it can stop it's flow. Doesn't the blowing breeze have speed ? By shutting the window we can stop the breeze also. But when veg takes the form of aaveg, the breeze which could merely sway the trees, now gathers enormous power which blows away people and uproots houses as well. Such a breeze is then called a cyclone. Water which flows and characteristically runs downhill is also endowed with the character of motion. Based on this MIND YOUR mind : 90
