"SEAT OF WISDOM IS SILENCE"

This quotation suits our present juncture of our life time. Most of the misunderstanding misconception, disharmony at family and national level comes out of our INMATURED MENTAL CONDITION by speaking out our feelings in an emotional way.

Even a small word, action provokes us to hasty and undesirable action that makes equal or opposite reaction in the minds of others. So it is more prudent not TO SPEAK OUT OUR IDEAS, EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS ALL OF A SUDDEN. Before that, one has to take into account of the consequences that would arise out of our hasty action.

Now think of your plight. If all our internal organs like respiratory, digestive, senses other vital organs who play a vital part for the proper functioning can speak out their condition - your over eating, waking up late in the light or of the pollution your surroundings by smoking, dirty, injurious liquids and so on. If they try to express openly their over WORKING WITH NO REST YOU WILL BE DRIVEN TO DESPIRE. So we have to learn THIS GREAT VIRTUE FROM BODY of which we are most ignorant and indifferent.

True silence is not of the grave yard or of the for shaken old BUILDING FULL OF DARKNESS. It is PURE WELL VENTILATED, AIRY CONDITION WHERE VIBRATIONS OF POSITIVE NATURE ARE CREATED TO GET MENTAL TRANQUILITY.

Yet another experience we get in our daily life is from a violent child. They very look, face expression of its mother makes it calm.

Even noticing all those we do not learn a lesson from a child. We bark out and speak out causing great internal and external discard and misunderstandings.

Even MOTHER NATURE teaches, with all her silent works of incoming and outgoing of seasons. NATURE IS CALM AND SILENT. But at times man provokes nature in the form of NEGATIVE THINKING by polluting the surroundings and trying to destroy the peaceful situation of nature in all negative ways like cutting of green trees, pollution air, water, earth of and so on.

On such occasion nature's furry provoked only by us play havoc. We are unable to bear or control such dangerous situation in spite of the so-called scientific advancement we have made so far. Nothing in our capacity could stop or minimize the furry of nature.

Now speaking on this subject I wish to narrate an episode. One visitor to our country was curious to know the basic nature of our SPIRITUAL aspect put some questions to a Sadhu.

The Sadhu who knows the value of SILENCE kept mum for a long time. Then noticing and reading mind of the visitor wrote in a piece of paper as follows.

"SHUT UP AND GET OUT".

This visitor felt embarrassing and tried to move. Then again the Sadhu wrote:

IF YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND MY SILENCE YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND MY SPEECH.

This also made the visitor more uneasy. Then the Sadhu taking pity on the visitor explained the REAL VALUE OF SILENCE.

To know oneself one should SHUT UP - NOT TO SPEAK MUCH AND WASTE ENERGY. Besides one should NEVER BE PROVOKED BY ANY INWARD OR OUTSIDE ACTION THAT KINDILES OUR EMOTIONS.

For the second part GET OUT to know SPIRITUAL ASPECTS there SHOULD BE NO INHIBITIONS or PRE CONCEIVED NOTIONS EVEN ABOUT GOD. So have a clear calm mind to receive any positive thought from any where.

The visitor was much enlightened by the explanation given by Sadhu and was satisfied.

SO SPEECH IS SILVER
SILENCE IS GOLD
