Master the Art of Sitting In Silence If You Want to Dramatically Grow Your Spiritual Journey
“Stop running. Be quiet. Let the mind rest. In this silence, the Self shines effortlessly.” — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Almost 99% of people like things in motion.
It can be endless talks (even if they are nonsense), bodies moving, or even thoughts. Motion is a detector of liveliness. It shows to many that you are alive. You are doing something, thinking, and building something.
It is all good until it seeps into your core, and you can no longer halt on purpose. It becomes toxic when you become obsessed with motion so much that sitting still feels like a waste of time.
Then, it becomes uncomfortable doing nothing and sitting like a zombie.
In life, motion is necessary, but it is equally crucial to be still inside as you move around and do things.
Doing and non-doing are not opposites. In fact, those who know both can create a beautiful alchemy that can flower their life.
