Silence is an empty space, space is the home of the awakened mind.- Gautama Buddha
Silence
represents the Buddha it is true nature of being of I am is Silence. It is
freedom from all mind narratives and constructs of ego self that internal noise
obscuring reality. A quiet mind is a
portal to the realization the eternal truth. Silence within is peace, bliss,
compassion unconditional love, into which all sorrow, guilt, suffering
dissolve.
Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is
peace. And hence Silence is the Self.- Ramana Maharshi
Silence
referenced here is not physical silence absence of speech but to the internal
mental unmoving stillness and peaceful quietness. A state in which, I has
resolved devoid of phenomenal objects, state of being that is pure clarity
spacious, empty presence, the illumination of unbounded limitless awareness.
Silence is the source of I the ego, from which proliferates the body and world.
Abiding in the
silence is egolessness- there is no trace of ego arising and no mental
movements. It is a state of alert beingness, unattached, free from ignorance,
wholesomeness or oneness, a doorway to liberation. Firm abidance and merging
into this wisdom will gradually uproot the delusion of I, me, mine, body and
world. When the false I, the ignorance
dissolves in the core essence of aware presence the heart of silence only the
authentic Self remains.
Silence cannot
be attained or practiced, mind cannot be made silent. Trying to quieten a noise
will only leads to further noise and chaos. Natural state of Silence is revealed
beyond the mind when dualistic nature is transcended, awareness
is beyond the business of concepts and when conflict of identification is
dropped and mind settles, then silence reveals itself just as the sunshine
emerges from behind the moving clouds. Silence is the fundamental substratum of
eternity, silence is awareness, presence, and the undercurrent of all creation,
silence permeates.
Resting in
silence that is free from rising I, free from division and noisy confusion is
the highest knowledge, divine consciousness. Realization of true state of
silence is freedom from illusion, world of sense perceptions, dissolution of
time and space, beyond boundaries of conceptual frame work. In this state,
there is only – I that is aware witnessing present moment in which the
undivided whole evolving and dissolving here and now.
Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of
the gods. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dawning of
inner silence is the guiding light, the grace, the guru. One who turns towards
this inner light seeks refuge within, surrenders to the grace of the divine
guru- such a being will be absorbed into the truth, ego dissolves and is
effortlessly liberated. The truth of I is aware silent empty presence yet
infinite potential.
🙏 May all be freed from suffering and may their true nature awaken.
Thank you. 🙏
