GOD IS FOUND IN SILENCE
Still the mind. Listen. Enter the silence. In silence
one becomes aware of his soul consciousness. Silence is a prerequisite for the
apprehension of the reality. Enter the silence, realise the reality.
Silence the tongue; silence the desires; silence the
thoughts. You will now enjoy the bliss of the eternal. Love silence. Live in silence.
Grow in silence. Spend your life in silence. The truths of the Upanishads are
revealed through the grace of God.
In silence there is God realisation. Silence is the
peace that passes understanding samadhi (the superconscious state).
Train yourself to enter a state of ceaseless
meditation. Strive diligently, patiently and with genuine
humility to attain wisdom.
Earnest aspiration and sincerity of purpose are the
most precious assets to the seeker after truth.
Silence conserves energy and gives peace and strength. You can amass
inexhaustible spiritual wealth in silence.
The aspirant should possess tranquility, self control
and compassion. An aspirant should avoid dainty dishes as they induce
him to be voluptuous. An aspirant should not indulge in hearing worldly talk as
it leaves worldly impressions on the mind and these stand in the way of fixing
the mind on God.
If you are freed from attachment, you have attained
salvation indeed.He who has strong vairagya (dispassion), utter
distaste for all pleasures of earth and heaven is first to pursue the path of
jnana (wisdom).
Be careful. Be alert. Be regular in your meditation.
If you are careless and non vigilant, if you are
irregular in meditation, if your dispassion wanes, if you yield even a bit to
sense pleasures, the mind will continue to go downward.
Maya (illusion) closes
in even upon a wise man if he stops his sadhana (practice) and meditation even
for a short time.
Develop vairagya (dispassion). Sharpen the intellect.
Give up distorted and perverted thinking.
Identify yourself with the pure atman. You will soon attain knowledge of the
self.
Peace, Love, Harmony
