Silence speaks


Silence-generally when something goes wrong we observe silence, may be we have an argument or fight then we keep quiet and don't talk. May be we want to talk much more than usual but we keep our lips tight. This silence has no meaning as it is just a physical silence but their is no silence inside rather there might be more activity, restlessness inside, isn't it!

The true sense silence is so soothing, so peaceful, silence is so awakening and its so energizing, its so beautiful and it sharpens our focus, it enhances our observation, it accelerate our speed, it creates a sense of rest, it gives depth to perception and it improves our expression, it gives us peace, it gives us space and time. Silence is so powerful and LOUD and Silence is silent yet silence speaks so much. All the best moments whether love, joy or peace whether the presence of your loved one or a view of scenic place or tasting a yummy delicacy or smelling a sense locking fragrance from roses or even truly sad moments where we are very closed to ourselves put our mind in complete silence. All these moments whether good or not so good arrest our senses and quieten our mind to present moment and Silence happens in true sense. Isn't it!

The true silence happens when we are in present moment. Physically, mentally and verbally just here, right now! No chattering with tongue and no chattering in the mind. When everything is quietened and you become one with the moment, silences is happening and YOU become SILENCE. Wowwwwwwww... How precious are those moments.

In those precious moments mind is not cribbing or angry about past happenings and not even worried or fearful about future. It is just here with the present moment. Its not wasting so much of energy in usual thought clutter and verbal quietness also conserving so much energy and water content from the body.

Silence helps us so many ways and gives depth to our lives. Whether a good painter or a poet or a scientist all get their best of creations from silence. Though Silence doesn't speak yet Silence speaks a lot. One who can observe the silence in speech and who can listen to the silence has really learned the Art of Living!

All Glory to Gurudev!

This morning I was restless to some extend while I was reading it for the first time. Then had a nice sleep and started working and came back reading this article again. I noticed that my mind has become more calm and silent since morning. I could observe silence now. It is far from what you described in your post, though. Would love to be in such state sometimes in the future.

Jai guru dev.

Very good post on silence. Silence is indeed sometimes the loudest form of communication.
Silence also can be the safe harbor that we find when we are aligned and in the now.

Priorities of life

Stand out from the crowd Stop competing start excelling No one has to lose for you to win Be grateful for every act of kindness -a new breath -a new meal Loosen up, lighten up Keep showing up Know when to come up for air Challenge the boundaries Don’t settle for being what you used to be or have been Keep reaching for what you can yet become Don’t gossip, don’t nag, and don’t tailgate Take good health for granted Don’t postpone joy Honor the greatness and uniqueness in others Each day you have exactly the same number of minutes as Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Aristotal Mozart Mother Taresa da vinic Galilio Wave back at children on the school bus Laugh at least a hundred times a day Don’t wait for things to be funny , Laugh anyway Remember you will never get new results from repeating old habits Don’t let cobwebs form around your big dreams Call home Go the extra mile Stop to smell flowers Avoid ruts , once you r in on its ...

Some more Q & A

Here are few more Q & A with Swami ji: Q. What is consciousness? A. Everything is consciousness! Whether you can see it or not, feel it or not! Q. What is the purpose of my life? A. On this question, Swami ji asked the participant to pat himself and said congratulate to yourself that mind is opening up and going beyond the day to day life, my job, my family, prestige etc. Then he said I will tell you three things in reference to this question: i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and whatever answer comes keep putting them in trash and one day you will get the answer to this question :-) Q. Who am I? A. Again for this question Swami ji asked the participant to congratulate himself and he said again follow the three things I told you in answer before. i. One who know will never tell you the answer. ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer. iii. Keep asking your question and what...
