Power of the silent mind

SILENCE is recognised as a great power. In fact, it is from the power of silence that all the other spiritual powers emerge.

People like to be surrounded with a variety of sounds and noises. Even when a person is left in solitude all by himself, he would switch on a radio or television, or he would search for somebody to talk to.

For some, being in solitude and silence is unbearable, while others believe that keeping silent makes it difficult to connect to others.

The whirlwind of unwanted thoughts in the mind is the reason why some believe silence to be eerie. Thus, they wrongly equate being in solitude as being lonely.

When the multifarious sounds of mind become difficult to bear, we look for ways to diminish the pain.

Real silence is not just the absence of sound, nor a state of passivity. Real silence is always accompanied by happiness.

Immense power can be exercised by a silent mind. The mind is the thinking faculty of the soul. Sound comes in the mind in the form of thoughts.

As the sound of the mind stops, that is, as the expansion of thoughts is merged and transformed into their very essence, so the power of silence is accumulated automatically.

The power of a silent mind is in essence the power of pure thoughts. Positive thoughts in turn provide pure energy to the soul.

A silent mind is not passive but consciously active with the flow of positive thought.

A silent mind is free from greed, attachment, fear, ego and jealousy. It is brimming with love, peace, purity and happiness. This results in a peaceful and powerful stage.
