“WHY SILENCE IS A PRECIOUS JEWEL”
Benefits of silence on a larger spectrum and spiritual aspects
Silent individuals are like stagnant deep water. Silence is a mystery, and the person who holds life’s secrets in his chest enjoys being silent. Silence is a sage’s gem and the reputation of a fool. It is claimed that quietness contains comfort. If we analyze the hardship created by our mouth, we will be able to determine how much relief quiet provides. It is a terrible fact that the person who speaks too much must utter a combination of truth and deception. He doesn’t have time to consider what to say and what not!
The greatest wonders of nature exist in endless and unending stillness. The ranges of the highest and biggest mountains remain silent, revealing the depths of limitless stories, anxieties, and secrets. Nobody knows what treasures these mountains have in their hearts; they contain many riches both inside and outside and even the stones themselves are a mystery. All are silent and quiet. Strange gusts occasionally blow through the boundless quiet, and the roar of the wind adds to the mountain’s profound calm.
Waterfalls cascading from the mountains, together with their accompanying music, provide significance and vividness to the solitude. The sensation of quiet is enhanced when a little sound echoes around, and when such exquisite noises reverberate in the mountains, stillness becomes more nuanced and delicate. Passionate couples choose to live in mountains because they want to be near to nature, which is always silent.
The majority of our lives are spent in stillness; we hear chaotic noises during the day but stay silent at night. People who are exhausted from hard work, birds, and animals all keep silent. Loudness introduces us to others, but quiet introduces us to ourselves; loudness motivates and impresses others, whilst silence satisfies our inner needs. Once upon a time, a guy was desperately journeying in quest of the secret of existence. He begged numerous individuals to answer his inquiry, but no one informed him, leaving him afraid, distressed, anxious, and yelling.
Finally, he fell motionless in despair, and one silent night, a weird noise came from his heart:
O’ man! Don’t knock on various doors longer; have you knocked on your own? So he listened to his internal commotion, contemplated it, and discovered the mystery that had also caused him to be silent.
But man prefers to talk than to remain silent. He speaks and continues to speak; if he cannot speak the truth, he tells a lie, begins fabrications, speaks in self-praise, against nature, complains to his own creator, talks about the pain of life, gives orders, discusses rebellions, questions himself and seeks answers, remembers and talks about the past and future, prudence and imprudence, speaks in loneliness so that only God can hear him. I wish we could be in front of quiet. I wish….
