The Silence

To find the silence, practice the 3 stages of meditation:
Become an observer of your thoughts.
Become an observer of your emotions.
Become an observer of just being.
In each step, do not judge and assess the thoughts, feelings and being. Eventually, you will find the silence. Here the bubble around you, the 'I,' will dissolve. You will find peace and discover how all things are connected, the at-one-ness, the bridge between here and there. You will have reached out and touched the silence.

The silence is full of noise; the chattering of birds, the wind in the trees, the water over pebbles or rocks, the hustle and bustle of people racing around; the thunder after the lightning, the footsteps of a child, the purr of a cat, the crackle of a fire, the rain on the window. All sound comes from an immutable source, the silence.

The silence is peaceful. It is a place within you and around you..

It is one thing to find the silence, but another to carry it with you, as you walk the journey of life.

It is like a candle that is lit, then the flame is shared by lighting another candle. It is one light, the same light yet on all candles. It is duty to light the unlit candles by sharing the light, that is the silence.
