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
absolutely neutral, being neither positive nor negative
There are many other qualities that such
a person comes to possess, which cannot be detailed.
