OM! THE SILENCE - Atman Nityananda


The Silence
by Atman Nityananda /blog

Mysterious is this silence, magnificent is this silence, untouched is this silence and yet ever present, peaceful and blissful.

This silence is What You Are!

If you are attentive you will see that this silence has no beginning, no end; it is limitless. It neither begins nor ends. It neither comes nor goes. It is motionless, changeless, formless, timeless. It is ever present, peaceful, silent and full. It is not disturbed when the mind or emotions are disturbed. Bodily, energetic, emotional and mental movements neither touch it, nor affect it.

You cannot touch it, dominate it or manipulate it, it is out of your control. You can neither move away from it, nor approach it. It is always with you, it never leaves you alone. You are intimately one with it. You are It!

But… watch out! You (the person or the I, what you think you are), are not it. That (the silent presence) is what you are!

You can meditate repeating the phrases below (all or two – three of these affirmations, the ones that resonate most with you), or make your own personal affirmations based on these concepts.

Om, Om, Om, Om I am pure consciousness, Ommm
I am silent emptiness, ever peaceful and luminous, Ommm
I am silence, always peaceful, full and blissful, Ommm
I am silence, full of infinite peace, light and love, Ommm

Om peace, Om light, Om love
Om, Om, Om

Repeat these phrases, becoming aware of the inner silence. At the end (after a certain time) stop the phrases and continue to feel the silence without making any effort. If the mind is distracted, say softly: May I be aware of the silence in me? This will carry by itself your attention in the silence without any effort.

The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
