THE SOUND OF SILENCE
It is possible with the help of the NC
practice, once you reach the absolute silence in your mind, wherein you never
get disturbed by the material sound. The
minute sounds in the silence are the things which are going to guide in your
life. This happens when you are able to
increase your inner strength by the help of NC practice on silence. Wait for the moment, when you, the observer
in silence, can experience the traces of sound in the absolute silence.
RELATION BETWEEN
GOD AND SILENCE
First of all, we have to understand that the so called God has originated from the silence. Silence is the mother and god is the product. Since the God has originated from the silence, God is very close to the silence and whoever is able to activate the God within can also experience the silence. The concept of God has come when the power is drawn from the silence for making use in this material world. That is why God is Omnipotent but the silence is omnipresent. This Omnipotent God can take you to the omnipresent silence, when once the God is expanded in you with the help of a silent practice.
Nisarga Chetana offers a practical
training on silence which will naturally take you to the God and also further
into silence. The powerful God inside you becomes your Guide, by creating
signals in the silence, i.e. by causing traces of sound in the silence. Once
you are fully equipped, the energy of the God within you, with the help of the
expansion of the soul, further takes you into the world of silent energy-less
energy. When you start experiencing the absolute silence in your mind, this
Omnipotent God -though It seem to be silent- will create traces of sound in the
silence to guide you towards the Ultimate.
TRAINING ON SILENCE
TO REACH THE
ULTIMATE
So, we require a training and practice
to obtain this mental silence, which is not possible by your trials. NC
training is introduced to the world to train the people on silence, so that
they can practice the mental silence, with absolute peace.
Mental disturbances are the creations of
our own. These creations can be evacuated from the mind during the practice of
NC on silence. This practice confirms the practitioner on the experience of
silence, which is naturally associated with peace. This practical experience of silence will
take you to further silence, still further silence and so on. The practitioner
ultimately reaches a condition of absolute silence which will give the
experience of God. Since God is also
silent, all your trials on sound cannot make you reach the silent God.
Since the
God inside us, in the form of soul or ‘Atman’, is silent always, the expansion
of the soul can happen only through silence. This silent expansion of the soul
takes you to various silences which form the beginning of the journey towards
the Ultimate Silence.
Sometimes silence speaks to you,
whenever there is a need for guidance.
That comes automatically, when your mind starts experiencing the
Ultimate silence. The practitioner need
not worry about anything in this world; because the power of silence is greater
than any power in this universe

Silence is the Origin and silence is the
end. The entire Nature has come from silence. In fact, this Cosmos with a lot
of sounds and soundless materials as well as beings originated from silence.
The purity of silence is not available
in sound. Sound divides and silence unites. The inner core of every being and
non-being is living in silence.
Thoughts are from silence. Thoughts do
not belong to sound; because it is coming from the inner core of the mind or
heart. When thoughts come, we are aware because of silence. Thoughts cannot be
read in sound. Since the thoughts belong to silence, they can be destroyed with
silence. When the thoughts are removed, silence only stays back.
The Creator or the Origin is in silence.
Any creation in the Nature (‘garbha’) is done in the silence. In the
‘garbhavastha’, the ‘sisu’ keeps silence. If the mother also keeps silence,
growth of the baby will be automatic without any trouble.
Silence is practiced by
observance(‘vratha’). By maintaining silence of mouth (‘mouna vratha’), we stop
producing sound; but we are not in silence. Silence of the mind is actually not
disturbed by sound. When the purity is increasing in the mind, the sound
vanishes; because sound – the inner sound- cannot stay in absolute purity. Outer
sound or the sound of the material world has nothing to do with the inner
silence.
This inner silence is available in every
being as the soul or the inner consciousness. Because of the sound in the mind,
the mind is not perceiving or experiencing the inner silence. The continuous
thoughts of the mind disturb the original silence of the mind. As a result, the
inner consciousness or silence is not able to expand and reach our mind. When
we are able to bring the purity in our mind, the thoughts vanish and the
purified mind experiences the inner silence or the soul in the silence.
This is not possible for a common man
who has continuous transactions in the mind. These transactions create thoughts
in the mind and the thoughts never move away from him. If he is trying to bring
the thoughtless condition by soundful practice, it never leads to the result.
But, there is no practice available, in this universe, beginning with silence,
maintaining silence throughout the practice and also ending with silence.
Almost all practices end with silence,
trying to create the inner silence. Since they are ending up with silence, the
practitioners are able to experience the inner silence for a while, but not
permanently.
The condition of the Ultimate is
‘silence of silence’. There, no sounds are accepted; nor can you produce any
sound. Soundless practice only can help you to read the ultimate area of this
Nature or the Cosmos. This ultimate area consists of nothing except silence.
This silence is the cause and the Origin of everything in this universe.
One who
reaches this silence in the ultimate area gets the transformation of mind as follows:
1.
Loses the condition of duality
2.
Loses the condition of discrimination among the same
species
3.
Gains unexplainable courage
4.
Past affairs and incidents never disturb his life
5.
No botheration about future
6.
Things happen automatically in his life, without his
mental effort
7.
Absolute freedom from worries
8.
No remembrance of God or anything
9.
Experiences non-attachment, with attachment to the
attachments
10. Becomes

There are many other qualities that such
a person comes to possess, which cannot be detailed.
