Silence is Golden
Silence is golden, a very old saying, isn’t it, and very true. True like radiance of sun, true like death, and true like u and me. This is what I feel. Have u ever wondered why it is said that silence is golden, or why it is regarded as a very important virtue to have. If not then you must contemplate on this.
For what I think that silence is important not because it reduces the noise pollution in surrounding but it shows how valuable it is to speak, silence teaches you the right way to speak and provide you the right thoughts to speak, silence is like reservoir for speech. Silence allows you to go in depth and understand of what you said and what should be said. Silence in surrounding not necessarily be the pin drop type but it should be within you, the silence in thoughts, just like a water body.
Giving importance to silence just as antonym to sound is not the justice to its essence. Silence itself have its own quality, it is mother of speech, because when you were in womb there was silence, before big bang there was silence, universe have vast expanse of silence. The analogy of a pond is perfect for silence, suppose there is lake, in morning its crystal clear water allowed you to see its depth, it allowed you to see the life, the energy it holds. As time passes people come there to hunt for fishes, animals come to drink to take bath, children throw stone, there is sound by all this, there is disturbance in lake, mud shows its nature and water become muddy, I don’t feel the need to tell you about the changes it is all known and seen. Same is the case with our brain, our soul, in morning time we rise with silence, but then we hunt for daily ‘to do’ list from our brain, we seek pleasure in exploits of brain of our soul. We seek suggestions from our brain suggestions for improvement, suggestions for destruction of some kind or other, suggestions for extracting pleasure from daily life and many more things are done, now again I don’t feel the need to write about the end result, because it all evident.
Is hunting for fish wrong, no, not at all, it is a need, is bathing in water wrong, being animal, no not at all! But if someone ask me about that stone thrown, that unnecessary play in water then I condemn it, same is with mind, I condemn that unnecessary shaking of soul. But not all of the shaking is self generated; more often than not we feel it is by others than by ourselves. Hello readers, ere is where we need silence, silence so that some of energy be restore, some of mud to settle.
Let me tell you that there is a kind of inexplicable kind of feeling to feel that silence between the ears, that pure silence when your soul rest is very energizing. I ask you all to try feel that silence and enjoy its power, it will help you to bring better suggestion fro you brain, as clear water will allow you to se life within. It will highlight you speech, it will give you speech power, power that can be enjoyed by you and those who listen.
I am trying to practice this virtue of silence and I ask you for same. Please try as only continue effort will bring change in large scale and please feel free to share your experience and your comments.
