My Dear Ones,
Today, I would like to draw your attention
to the power of silence. A power that is with us in every
moment and yet it is overlooked. Silence, and here I refer
to inner silence that has great power. If we can hold the
mind is a state of quietness that is natural and comfortable
whilst keeping an intense desire to know what lies beyond
it, we can have the incredible experience of our Source.
We will experience who we really are at the deepest level
and develop the ability to control our thoughts and emotions.
We have lost the ability to be silent. It is unfortunate
that the mind which should be under our control; controls
us so much. Emotions do as well. Can we train our mind and
emotional being to be really quiet and peaceful so that
we can experience the qualities of our Source? Our Source
is one of our boundless peace, unconditional love, infinite
wisdom and endless joy. Do we really want to experience
this? If we do, then we will make the effort to curb the
restless mind.
Silence also allows us to listen in a better
way. We perceive more in communication with each other when
silent. The intentions we overlook during speaking become
more visible then. Our communication improves. When we are
silent we tend to become more intuitive. More ideas flow
from within. In silence we feel in contact with the Source
of our being. We feel connected to the Universe. In this
connection we feel safe, protected and guided.
How important it is to be silent yet we
never take time to learn this essential discipline. Being
silent is not being passive. It is being more attuned to
everyone and everything around us. Meditation is a very
valuable exercise in helping us to become silent and to
manage the restless mind. Give attention and importance
to this simple discipline. It brings great rewards to every
aspect of our lives
Explore the possibilities of this discipline
and what it can do for you. Remember your well being lies
in your hands.
Yours in service,
