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.

Sri Sri University

Sri Sri University Formal education trains people to take up different roles in the society in pursuit of economic growth and social order. With the Indian industry poised to take off as a global economic power, the demand for skilled youth to guide and carry on this pursuit can not be underestimated. Paradoxically, it is confronted with an ever increasing number of educated youth, with mismatched skill-sets: youth with an abundance of technical knowledge but clearly lacking in focus on inner joy, initiative and creativity. Sri Sri University is an international initiative to address this anomaly by developing tomorrow's leaders, managers of change, trained to the industry requirements, with an attitude and skill-set transcending specific disciplines. Inspired by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, students will look beyond their own limitations and share bigger responsibilities as worthy citizens and brim with confidence. In them we may see not just the smartest, but the leaders,...

Focus on Problem vs Focus on Solution

Case 1 When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil. Case 2 One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the pro...

Meditation is an art by which one go beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness where mind dissolve and pure timeless, space less, blissful consciousness BEING which is described as सत्चिदानंद satchidanand (सत् -चित्-आनंद) sat-chit-anand (Truthful-consciousness-blissful) by the enlightened MASTERS. About Meditation there are so many myths and concepts. And the truth is what you experience that is reality for you.

Now journey start as wondering mind has lost most of distractions which...
