Next Time You Stumble Upon a Silent Person, Listen Up!
Understanding What Silence Is and its Profound Power.
For many silence is the absence of noise, chaos, conflicts and so on. But, as a matter of fact, silence is beyond all of that.
Silence is not the absence of noise as the silence that grows out of noise has its roots in noise. Neither it is the absence of chaos as the silence that grows out of chaos has its seeds in chaos. And similarly, silence is not even the absence of conflicts as it has its radicle lies beneath on conflicts.
Noise, chaos, conflicts and all other sounds are products of the mind and into the fabric of the mind, silence can never be woven. And if it is, then it's nothing but a false reflection of the eternal truth.
In the presence of silence, the mind is absent, and in the presence of mind, the silence is absent.
Silence is the language of the heart, while all other forms of noise, including speech, are the language of the mind. And hence, the moment you try to explain the silence using words, it becomes part of the noise. Silence cannot be expressed through words but can only be felt and experienced.
The value of silence is felt by almost everyone at some point in their life. As much as silence is comforting, nourishing and cosy, it also opens up to inspirations and nurtures our mind, body & soul.
