“It was all in that silence… in that absolute silence of my depth I got to know where in lies my true power; the real worth of my existence…somehow, I gained a different insight of a different world; a world beyond this tangibility, but the world of an eternal reality where I felt that I was in close communion with my deeper self, my silence within…she was trying to say something! Though inaudible it seemed to me at first, but I felt that inner stillness, somehow was guiding me to delve more within my entity in order to feel that silence more in a deeper way, in a way where I could only explore my inner kingdom and its eternal presence, once again…its connection with the divinity that I already have within, since the primordial time of my existence! It was really a different experience for me and the moment I started to feel that solitude, within quite miraculously, all the distraught and dissatisfaction I was suffering from, started to fade away and in that absolute tranquility and I got perceived the real truth of my existence, once again…”
In this cacophonous world of our survival when every moment, Time comes to us as a seizing monster, we get frightened, pause for a while and ask ourselves with awe and wonder “Where is this life trying us to lead?” But at that very moment I`ll suggest you not to fall under the trap of those dissatisfactions, rather calm your mind and sit for a while, putting aside all the momentary dissatisfactions and belongings and ask your inner self the same question that once you put forward. I can assure you that you`ll not be disheartened, rather it may invite you into another world of your existence where you can perceive where in lies the efficacy of detaching yourself from this cacophonous world outside, for a while and getting aligned with your inner self who always wants to speak with you, listens to you in an unavoidable manner. In spite of her absolute silence, in spite of her stillness, you can perceive where in lies the true power of this close communion.
You remember, right at the beginning of this blog I have shared with you one of such experiences of a woman who was totally devastated after a fatal incident in her life. She was utterly ruined in every respect. And it was totally impossible for her to get herself together once again, being in this cacophonous world of continuous noise and dissatisfactions where all the time you don`t find any other option, only to accept those noisy negatives and act like a prisoner of your own negative thoughts.
But the moment she started to learn, started to feel the silence within, with the help of a psychoanalyst, quite automatically she started to get introduced with a different world of understanding; the world of her inner self where silence was not silent at all, rather it was the silence, within that brought those clear answers back to her, she was seeking for during those dissatisfied and unfortunate hours. It was only in the midst of that silence, she once again got aligned to her ideal being, to the strength of her existence and somehow managed to forget about all her grieves, quite miraculously in order to emerge before the world with the truth she has within, with the real power of her being.
Finding silence, within is nothing but, getting aligned with your inner kingdom, once again:
In order to feel where in lies the true power of silence you need to pay some heed to our Nature who evolves in her silent pace. But she is growing within, leaving us only to witness her magical transformation. If we ask her where in lies the secret, she`ll not say anything, but we can feel her answer deep within our heart, within that deepest silence that she prevails around us!
In this connection, I would like to remind you that finding silence is not only detaching yourself from the external worldly sounds and engaging your inner world with the same cacophony, ruminating over the same noisy negatives that can ultimately do nothing, but only can stress you up and make you feel that you`re nothing, but only a hopeless prisoner, trapped into those hurly burly, into those negatively noisy and dissatisfying thoughts. But here, I would like to say about that inner silence that we all have within, but never allow ourselves to feel its magic in solitude. But if we delve into that silence, we`ll never be disheartened again, rather will get introduced with a different reality, the truth of our being, the real self of our existence. As it is in that absolute silence only, you`ll get aligned to your primordial center and once again get introduced with the eternal ground of your being from where you came and will be merged into.
The more you delve into that inner quietude, the more you`ll get to know who you really are and what your true purpose is in this world of existence. In this connection, I would like to remind you, if we wish to perceive our soul once again, we must feel that silence, within. We need to pay some heed to its ineffability, to its inexplicability. As it is in that silence our soul has her eternal existence; she is nothing to be touched, nothing to be described in an analytical way of observations, but an eternal energy to be perceived within, within the stillness of your entity, within the silence of your heart!
Here, being in close communion with silence doesn`t mean to detach yourself from the external hurly burly and remain the same from within. Rather, here silence means to probe more within your depth, inside your soul`s kingdom where at first you may be overwhelmed, may startle a bit, but with time get realize the true worth of detaching yourself from all those materialistic needs and noises of your surroundings and getting aligned with the deeper core of your being that never speaks anything in an audible way, but answers come, quite automatically when you yourself can feel that your entity is totally aligned to that profound silence, within. And on that very moment, once again you get introduced with the secret code of your being that`s continually beckoning you to perceive the eternal stream of life, the stream of your inner silence who only knows the truth of your existence, the truth of an eternal reality as well!
Moreover, this silence has an enormous effect both in psychological and spiritual way of our being. It has an ability to evolve our consciousness towards a different direction in a self- reflective manner where we ourselves get introduced with our true ground of being. And in this deeper state of silence, quite automatically the doors of our perceptions start to open up by their own and an infinite abundance start to flow, within with the help of a pure consciousness and we get to know that we`re not alone in this world, rather very much connected to the eternal truth of universal intelligence (who is already within us, within that profound silence, deep inside our entity and continually inspires us to know ourselves and evolve in a newer way, true to our soul`s choice)
Let`s feel the power of silence and get introduced with the transcendental reality of your existence:
Spending some hours alone and contemplating over that silence, within not only helps to open up your doors of perceptions, but also transcends your consciousness into a different state of realization. In that blessed state we`re more attuned to the spiritual dimension of our existence and our ordinary consciousness quite miraculously transcends itself into that special type of pure consciousness that quite automatically starts to inspire us to grow within, to feel our being, once again and to get ourselves introduced with our primordial existence.
This power of silence is enormous enough. It has an ability to see beyond, beyond this tangible world of earthly perceptions, beyond everything that seems to us as ordinary. And here in lies its magic, its beauty of perceiving the truth, within in a different way. And gradually being in that silence, we start to feel grounded, centered, once again.
During the moment of that inner quietude, quite automatically you get aligned to the truth of our universal intelligence and your eternal connection to that energy, once again. And no longer would this same frustrating life appear before you as a hopeless one, rather something blissful and peaceful enough because by that time your soul is already aligned to the truth of your spiritual existence; an existence that is beyond this momentary time frame, beyond this world of tangibility, but an existence that always advocates of a purity, of an eternal reality. And here in lies the blissful essence of our inner silence and its magical connection with our spiritual existence;
“When the external world frustrates you a lot/ never feel disheartened, my dear/ never feel again, distraught/ rather, sit for a while/ close your eyes/ and ask yourself/ is it going to be a newer ride/ you may not find any answer, my dear/ any graceful story for others to share/ noisy Giants may come across/ sometimes to mock at you/ sometimes to shake your ground/ only with some roaring sounds/but never fall under His trap/ rather, probe more within/ there you may feel an absolute serenity/ a complete peace to feel within/ and here once again/ you may perceive/ that a star is shining/ with a primordial silence, within/ with the truth of its eternal grace/ with the truth that you`re/ you`re with all your presence…”
Let`s heal your wounds in silence and allow your creator, within to emerge in a newer way:
In this current generation of cybernetic facilities all the time we`re running after something, but ultimately finding nothing, satisfying our heart and soul. And as a result of that quite unknowingly of ourselves, we`re coming into a state of incongruence; a state where we`re facing a constant dilemma, within but cannot find out the real reason behind it. Here in this section, I would like to tell you the real cause of this incongruence that sometimes impel us to take some unfavorable decisions and sometimes, prompt us to feel that we`re nothing but only some hopeless wanderers, strolling around here and there without any vital purpose. But the reality is not like that. And it`s only an illusion to consider ourselves as some lonely wanderers, while actually we`re not alone at all, but eternally connected to some divine source of universal energy.
But do you ever feel where in lies that universal source of energy? How are we connected to that? In this section, I would like to invite you into that different dimension of our being, into that reality that we most often forget, while spending time in this external world, in the midst of this continuous cacophony. But every moment we tend to forget the real power of our inner stillness, the power of silence that has an eternal magic to explore our creative intelligence and to strengthen our insight in a more positive way, bringing a clarity in ourselves and transcending our consciousness towards the greatest truth of existence. Though in a tangible sense you may not see anything, but the moment you start to probe deeper into the silence, within quite automatically you`ll realize where in lies the truth; the eternal and universal power of silence and our connection to the divine source of universal intelligence.
Actually practicing silence has an enormous effect both in our psychological and spiritual well- being. It not only calms your mind, but also opens up the doors of perceptions in a fruitful way, strengthening your confidence level, improving your intelligence power and unfolds the hidden magic of your intellect, making you realize that you`re not a hopeless wanderer, but you also have some potentials, a special purpose on this earth for which you`re here, you`re born. Here I`m going to share with you some of the benefits of practicing this silence, within;
- In silence you can achieve in that state of your mind where you yourself can stand in front of a mirror to see yourself in a reflective way. And trust me dear this is not an ordinary reflection in a mere sense, but a reflection to see within, within your being and spend some hours of solitude with your soul who keeps waiting for you, never complains but only waits to listen to your sweet voice. You may be surprised a bit, but trust me dear! Here in lies the magic of silence!
- Only that inner silence has the power to communicate with your soul, with that primordial self of your entity and can also heal your wounds with a deeper realization within yourself. In this stage you may realize who you truly are. It not only brings before you that ideal mirror to perceive yourself, but also helps you to accept who you truly are in a more mature and deeper way of understanding.
- In a fit of anxiety and stress when the external layer of your conscious self is not in a proper congruence with the deeper core of your inner self, trust me dear, then silence is the only way to perceive your inner experience in a more contemplative way. It has an enormous effect to bring you back to your center, to your home from where you came and will be merged into after this earthly existence.
- Silence has its different language, a language of a different empathy and understanding by the grace of which you`ll be able to forgive others and forgive yourself. It`s serenity will help you to realize the real truth behind everything. It brings that eternal feeling of peace, within yourself and helps you to ground yourself, once again with the truth of your being. In a more explorative way to interpret it has that enormous gift to communicate with your soul and make you believe that you also have an artist, within, waiting for your assurance to emerge in its true self, to paint a newer picture according to your soul`s choice in order to bring that serenity within your heart.
- In a more simpler way to interpret, silence can bring you into that state of your being when quite automatically you start to accept yourself, start to believe in your soul`s power, eradicating all forms of egoistical bias and very much willing to evolve in a newer way towards a different direction. In a way, silence has that rejuvenating power to blur all your dilemmas, conflicts and introduce before you another reality, another truthful dimension of your being, introducing before you the grace of that eternal sublime peace from where you came and will be merged into!
Moreover, it helps you to recognize the true creator within yourself who not only knows your depth, but has that power to heal you, once again from all the wounds, you`re suffering from, speaking with your depth and nourishing it with a newer way. Actually it`s not an overnight project to feel that silence within, but it`s an inner exploration, a psycho- spiritual journey itself to perceive its real power. And it is in this state of silence only, creation comes in a spontaneous way and quite automatically you may start to feel that urge to emerge before the world completely in a newer way, but being true to yourself.
Feeling the silence within is nothing, but gaining a spiritual insight and feeling the divinity and bliss, once again:
A few years back when I was in my early teens, I also used to have an experience. Though in those days I didn`t know where in lies the true power of silence and its connection with spirituality. It was utterly impossible for me to define spirituality in those years when most of the time my mind used to search for various candies and my heart used to run after different colors of joy and merry- making. But in those days whenever I stood under the starry sky at night I used to feel something different, but incapable to know what that feeling was all about. But years later, gradually with time, I got perceived that the starry sky of those silent nights was nothing, but only a mirror itself to make me feel that I am not alone at all, rather my inner stillness is very much aligned to the silence of those nights, since the primordial time of my existence. And it were only these messages that those silent nights used to pervade in those years. Though inaudible it might be, but it had some special language that is still now throbbing, within myself and inspiring me to surrender to that absolute silence, once again, to that absolute serenity that is already within us in a transcendental way.
And the moment, you get introduced with that absolute silence you possess within, the moment quite automatically your ordinary consciousness start to bloom in a newer way towards a different direction of a transcendental reality, helping you to gain a different spiritual insight and making you to realize that you`re nothing but only a spiritual being in a human form. Hence your existence itself is very much real and eternal; real with its very presence and eternal with its divine essence.
And in that silent state of your mind, you`ll not only be able to perceive the more, beyond this tangible world of perceptions, but also quite automatically you`ll get aligned with your pure consciousness and start to perceive that your soul is already connected to that eternal universal intelligence who is nurturing, guiding and sheltering your being in a miraculously blissful way.
If we consider our life as a spiritual journey itself, attaining silence, I feel is the only pathway to perceive that journey in a fruitful and peaceful way. It not only helps you to be detached from the external environment and the continuous hurly burly, raising its voice in the form of several discord and disequilibrium, but also guides you to feel another introspective journey that is going on within yourself. In that sense, silence is not only to be felt as something when you`re away from any noise, restlessness or from any other disturbances that may perturb your mind, but this inner silence is actually these interpretations and something to be perceived, within. And it has that ability to transcend your consciousness into a deeper realization and evolve your soul towards a newer direction, towards the truth of the infinite, towards the truth of your inner divinity and its eternal connection to the truth of our universal intelligence.
Remember, the more you get aligned to your inner silence, the more you will get to know the truth, the eternal reality of your being, the reality of your soul. And the moment you get introduced with this eternal truth, within yourself, the magic of bliss quite automatically starts to embrace your entity and once again, you get to know where in lies the true celebration of life, the real magic of this introspective journey and the graceful essence of this silence, since the primordial time of your existence!
If you delve into this silence, you may also find someone`s sweet voice, still humming within to make you feel that you`re not alone, but deeply connected to an enigmatic force within, to that voice of eternity whose only language is not to be interpreted, but to perceived within, within the deeper core of your being;
“Beyond this city crowd,
Beyond this cacophony, where the earth
Still meets with the clouds –
Only there, you can feel me, my dear,
Only there, you find my presence
My story, to share.
Only in that absolute silence,
Deep and rare!
You may find a reality;
A reality, within
That still knows
Where in lies the truth
The truth of eternity —
The truth that`s still humming
Growing within,
This time, perhaps;
A magical lore —
Quiet, serene!”
