Silence : A True Friend That Never Betrays.

 

Silence is the rare possibility in the present days. Though everyone around us has the power of Silence within them, hardly a few of us use it. But those who use it are never need to speak anything to convince their views to others.

Silence is the best path for the self-realization. Silence is a valuable constituent of the game of life; silence is the key that has the potential to open doors; it can free you of confusion. Silence empowers you think things through and come up with solutions because it is only in silence you can listen well. You can listen to the deepestwisdom of your soul.(Swami Brahmdev)

In the absence of silence you tend to get overtaken by the mind and the body, and emotions. The clutter prevents you from listening to your psyche and soul. To listen to your psyche, your soul, your Divinity, you need to establish a strong relationship with silence; without it we might remain unaware of many things. When we live on the surface, the noise is overpowering.

Swamiji says, it may be interesting to carry out a small experiment with your life. Go some place where there is plenty of silence and quiet. Sit in silence and observe yourself. You will find that in that silence you are beginning to get to know yourself. People go to the Himalayas and the caves to find a silent, secluded place free of distractions. The ambience of quiet engenders the exercise of looking within.

Swami Brahmdev suggests taking some time off every day to be silent, even if for five or ten minutes feel it, experience it, and observe it. That is the moment when you are with you, when you available to yourself. When you are in silence you are living in the present, which we don’t do very often.

The silence I like is the silence I choose, not the silence imposed on me through the use of fear or related factors. Silence does not mean absence of speech. Silence is an inner state. Something will automatically change in your state, in your nature, and silence will establish itself. Even if you are in a catastrophe, no one can destroy your silence; no one can take the inner quiet away from you. Once silence starts helping you, helping your evolution, then you can enjoy the beauty of life.

Silence is a state of consciousness. Silence is not an effort. If you are making an effort to be silent you are making more noise. Silence is an effortless effort. It will be born spontaneously with your understanding. Silence is the birthplace of your soul.

There is no need to be a yogi, or a saint, in order to enjoy inner silence. It is quite possible to lead an ordinary active life, and at the same time enjoy the high planes of inner silence.

Inner silence is inner peace. In this state only thoughts that we allow can enter into the mind. In inner silence, we experience who we really are. The mind is like a screen hiding our real reality. When this screen is dropped we know who we really are.

Silence is the best gift one can receive from the Almighty. It is the inner power that will help to conquer everything. One who has silence has everything. Everyone has to work to get it.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence.... We need silence to be able to touch souls. (Mother Teresa)
