Silence...a pause between two words, time between two heartbeats, a road between two destinations, a space between you and me.
Silence... a Life between birth and death!
Silence is the language of nature. Its our true being, our self. Many a times, we find difficult to express our feelings, guess why? we use words to express our feelings. Ever tried expressing feelings with silence? That should be the way to express Self. Have you ever noticed infants, expressing their feelings?? Do they use words? They are also not able to convey what they want to... :) But, the question is not on their ability to express, it's a question on our ability to understand... isn't it? Everything is ok within silence. Its only when words are used, misunderstanding begins.
Though do not avoid words. There is a need of words to understand the silence between them. There have to be sound, so that we can find silence in between two sounds. So sounds or words should also be there. The only thing we should take care is, not to give more importance to sounds and words.
Take some time everyday for 20 mins, sit in a calm atmosphere, close your eyes, drop everything and find silence within. This can help find our Self. Our true Self. We mark ourself as a son, a mother, a husband, a businessman, this and that. We also mark others as this and that. But drop it for a while and be in silence. Let the waves of thoughts come and go. Find yourself as calm as a lake. Just see that everything is all same. What difference will it make? Nothing! A day will come when everything will become One. There will be no this or that. Don't wait for that time to come. Find it within, everyday and carry it along the whole day. Do it as a exercise and identify the difference. See if it is identifiable?
Some questions can be answered only in Silence. Silence is the goal of all answers. If an answer does not silence the mind it is no answer. Thoughts are not the goal in themselves. Their goal is Silence. When you ask the question "Who am I?" you get no answer, there is silence. That is the real answer. For your soul is solidified silence. This solidified silence is wisdom, is knowledge.
