Silence means not thinking anything… I am not saying to stop thinking… if that happens then we have attained the mortality state…:D, yes its a kind of riddle our mind cannot be in a state of non-thinking… Thinking of not to think is also a kind of Thinking. But only difference in this case is we solely concentrate on keeping our mind silent state. Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas – silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of our being, out of which comes all our thoughts, is silence. The way to silence is through meditation I feel. When you arrive in your own silence you will know true freedom and real power you possess… just take a minute and listen to the silence within us… Then we will be aware of what disturbs our inner silence. Yes now disturbances can be many things, it could be negative thoughts, memories, sensations… and when we are aware, we will know what is draining our creative power and also we will know what needs to change…on the inside! On the contrary sometimes the negative thoughts can also lead to positivity but with respect to the context of keeping our mind in silence its existence is irrelevant. But at the same time one should not try hard to seize the negative thoughts when mind is in the silent state. But not to react to the negative thoughts that come thatz the key… thatz how our mind will get free…
But this doesnt mean be silent to the external world… you will be in isolation if we do so… I feel a person should practise silence everyday at least for 5 minutes… your soul would greatly rejoice those moments. Yeah you will also be aware of your innate strength, and stopping the ripples which causes disturbance is another challenge….going by the phrase ‘Practice makes man Perfect’…we need to cultivate….woaa it’s a great experience…

Hmm… 🙂 I am here to tempt buddy…
Hope you get few books there…
Hmm…good one anila..some thing to contemplate on…
Yeah SV… not only to contemplate but also try to implement… 🙂
Implementation can be done by different people in different ways right?
Atleast me, I will do it in “MY” ownway…again EGO coming into the picture 😉
Reaching the goal is important and to do that u can implement in your own way… but sometimes we need to follow a pattern to reach the goal right? so cannot change the pattern. As u may get drifted away from the goal…if the pattern is changed… some cases!!
Humm…EGO onething I wanna spk abt… I need to blog this immotion…, thanks for triggering the thought sv… 😉
Silence – most of the times has been taken as an inability of a person TODO things.. but i have always felt it the opposite..Always felt my silence during my graduation gave more fruits than my bragging in my corporate life..
True i am comparing 2 diff facets..but i NOW believe in CALCULATED SILENCE at times..esp in corporate life 🙂
Hmmm… paks the silence which u practise is intrinsic and to ur mind and ofcourse we should not be silence with things which u are not suppose to be.
But the Silence you are talking about is extrensic in our life… and its to the world…which may be not fruitful sometimes… The silence you are talking about is the inability of the person TODO things…not the silence i wanted to convey…
Hummm now we know the aftermath of keeping silence u maintained during college days… 😉
Lets c how much of silence u can maintain now… :p
🙂 wrong take buddy.. i wasnt speaking about “refusal todo things”.. i only meant people feel so.. now you cant say that u need to practise silence for “n” minutes.. or u r trying to dictate meditation 😕
Solution for ur question… read the blog again u will know… 🙂
