Aloha
and Mahalo
If
you learn just two words in Hawaiian, learn these. They
mean much more than their Western translations. Aloha is
much than "Hello, Goodbye, Love" rolled into one
word. Mahalo is much more than "Thank
You."
Aloha
[Alo = presence, front, face] + [hâ = breath]
"The presence of (Divine) Breath."
Mahalo
[Ma = In] + [hâ = breath] + [alo = presence,
front, face]
"(May you be) in (Divine) Breath."
On
a spiritual level, Aloha is an invocation of the Divine
and Mahalo is a Divine blessing. Both are
acknowledgments of the Divinity that dwells within and
without.
