Silence is golden
We have heard the word ‘silence, please’ since our childhood, at schools, at meetings, etc. One wonders what the real story is behind this word ‘silence’. Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj writes.
We have heard the word ‘silence, please’ since our childhood, at schools, at meetings, etc. One wonders what the real story is behind this word ‘silence’. From a spiritual perspective, silence can be defined as a bridge of communication between the Divine and the divine in human. Silence is where one finds what is most precious.
Spiritual silence gives one an energy that is pure and selfless, from the creative source, to burst out of the cocoon of dust and routine, opening up unlimited horizons of new vision. The act of silence is as necessary for living as breathing is for physical life.
Silence is like a mirror. The mirror does not blame or criticise but helps us see things as they are, providing a diagnosis to release us from all types of wrong thinking. To create silence, we have to step within, connect with our eternal self – the soul. By doing so, we reflect and recollect what has been forgotten for a long time. This is the reason why wise people say ‘Silence is golden’.
