We have heard the word “Silence Please” since our childhood, at schools, at meetings, in courtrooms et cetera.
One wonders what’s the real mystery behind this word SLIENCE.
From a spiritual perspective, silence can be defined as the bridge of communication between the Divine and the divine in the human. Silence is where one finds what is most precious. Spiritual silence gives one an energy, 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 brings our mental and emotional energy to a point of concentration, where we can be still. Without this inner stillness, the different strings of external influences like a puppet pull us.
Silence is like a mirror. The mirror does not blame or criticize but helps us to 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 longtime. We concentration slowly and gently and as we do so, those original spiritual blueprints of love, truth and peace emerge and are experienced as personal and eternal realities.
Through these virtues, quality begins to enter our life. This is exactly the reasons why wise people say ‘Silence Is Golden’.
