If you have not yet known the power of silence, than this is for you

If you have not yet known the power of silence, than this is for you

Renowned thinker Pascal once said at a place, "If humans stop unnecessary chatter, 90% of the world's problems would decrease." Reflect on how much unnecessary speech we engage in throughout the day, as suggested by that perspective. Psychology tells us that verbose people are often liked. However, excessive talking sometimes leads to trouble. Visit the hospital of those who talk too much, metaphorically speaking, and you'll realize. All kinds of troubles reside in that hospital, isn't it just a little bit true? Some wander outside this hospital with masks on, pretending not to be patients. It often appears that only the verbose are patients, but perhaps we are not patients because we don't talk too much... Maybe...!

Choosing silence doesn't mean one should never speak strangely, right? But it's not like that...

Silence means speaking only necessity. However, a person's mind always goes to a point. If someone doesn't talk too much, it doesn't mean they will speak strangely. Some people are very careful; they speak when there is some benefit to them. In every household, there are discussions between husband and wife; one major reason for that is talking...! In the context of arguments, if one person remains silent, the argument will never escalate. But if one takes an arrogant stance and doesn't take anyone's opinion, in the end, they will face serious consequences. If there is more love in one's heart, they always take a peaceful stance. Remember, the one who wins in losing, keep that in mind..!

When a woman gets married, she only forms relationships with her husband, not with others. She doesn't establish relationships with her in-laws, parents-in-law, or anyone else. There is no need for that because other relationships automatically get established. Similarly, why not try silence once and observe how all other relationships automatically fall into place!

Everyone thinks about whether they need to chat all the time. But when one needs to establish a relationship, silence is necessary. Speaking unnecessarily causes a rapid loss of spiritual energy. Keep this in mind, prioritize what needs to be said, and those who practice this will surely benefit.

This article is not for those who don't practice. They may criticize, but that's fine! Because every individual has the fundamental right to decide whether they want to enhance or ruin their life, and everyone has the right to their own choices!

People understand only what they perceive, as much as their understanding allows. Before speaking, consider whether there is a genuine need to speak. If the answer is affirmative, then speak. Rather than speaking impulsively, it's better to think before speaking.

In silence, ego dissipates. Practice it and see its impact! Profound tranquility settles in the heart. As much as maintaining silence, chanting the name of the divine is equally beneficial! Try to realize that as soon as you embrace silence, the recitation of the divine name naturally begins.

Being silent is like keeping the mouth shut even when facing a snake. Because unnecessary talk creates more noise than flowing water. Silence not only avoids unnecessary noise but also maintains inner peace. Until there is an urge to say something, it's essential to remain calm.

Just like the flute remains silent while producing melodious tunes, keeping silent is crucial. Without silence, the sweet sound of the flute would not be heard. Until the desire to speak arises, it is necessary to remain peaceful. Sometimes, the heart plays the divine tune, and then you realize the importance of maintaining silence.

The Brahman is beyond words; hence, is the creation of mantras not achieved through words? Words are a powerful tool. The wounds caused by words remain fresh for an infinite time. Causing pain to someone's mind is akin to causing pain to the divine. Its cost will be incurred, be it today or tomorrow. This is not just a baseless fear; rather, it is a matter of significant importance.

When something doesn't sit well with anyone, understand that it is a lesson in causing pain to someone's mind! Expecting mercy from God after causing Him pain, isn't that another form of foolishness?

Silence is the language of love. Therefore, focusing on meditation in spirituality is the best approach. Whoever has experienced true love towards anyone at some point will understand the secret that silence holds.

Silence and forgiveness, these are the secrets of all spiritual practices.
