Most of us in this group have lived (or at least spent) two-thirds of our life by now. Yet, if we were stopped and asked that question impromptu, we probably won’t be able to give a candid answer. We are pre-occupied with our ever growing to-do list that modern life bestowed upon us. There’s so much of hustle and bustle surrounding us and in this world of relentless noise, silence is prime casualty.
Silence and Solitude have become the most precious commodity and it truly commands a high premium in today’s workaday world. I ask myself “What is the value of silence in my life?”…”How much silence do I want in my life?”
All conflicts and struggles of humankind that result from over-communication and ego-fueled arguments may be resolved to a large extent by harnessing the power of silence. If we adopt silence, conversations that we might come to regret lifelong may not happen at all. And since the balm of quiet calms the mind, it would allow actions to be taken with deliberation instead of in the heat of the moment, driven only by untrammeled emotion. Though considered unnatural in our daily lives, silence is a state of equilibrium that should be adopted more so that the overheated, combative whine of busy minds can be replaced with cool contemplation.
People will come and go, things will continue to change and evolve, but the silence that runs through the Cosmos, will remain eternal, a golden thread weaving through time and space.
Everything of importance is in essence, a silent melody — only experienced, not heard. Growth is silent. Evolution is silent. Deeper the lake, the more quiet it is. Similar to oceanic depths, a meditative mind is a calm and serene oasis.
There is a healing power in the silence. Silence can reveal an abundance of riches if we give it a chance to do its work. Secret of satisfaction in life is "Silence"
