Silence holds the key to opening doors
to a wholesome life, ultimate liberation and attainment of
happiness. It uplifts our visions, our concepts, our way of
thinking, feeling and how we act in our world. Silence is
the tool which helps us know and experience fully who we are
and what our purpose in life is. Silence offers the way to
complete liberation for body, mind and soul. The
appreciation for silence replaces the need for addictive
thoughts and activities. When we love silence, there is no
reason to run away from our
thoughts and fears. The practice of silence brings
unspeakable peace.
Speech is the biggest consumer of our
energy, it depletes the oxygen in our body and mind and
causes energy burnout. This is turn causes the mind to
overheat, which leads us to become angry, impatient etc and
hence we are unable to think or act calmly, coolly or
rationally.
Swami Ji recommends the practice of
silence in his workshops and seminars. Only by participating
in this silence therapy will you realize the benefits of it
and the amount of energy you will gain from it.
There can be many other ways to
communicate with each other without using speech, Swami Ji
believes that when two people meet it is possible to
communicate in an energetic level because communication is
not just only by speech, but by synchronizing energy levels
you can also communicate. Swami Ji does much work with
energy and believes we can synchronies our energy more in
silence rather then through speech.
Also he feels why can’t we develop
other methods of communicating other then speech as he feels
we loose so much of the essence of what we are trying to
express through speech. Words can only ever give a limited
interpretation of our real feeling, words will never grasp
the real sentiments of feelings and emotions.
Swami Ji believes healing energy flows
more freely in silence
Swami Ji has been practicing silence at
a very young age. At the age of fourteen he spent three
months alone in the jungle. Before and after entering the
cave in 1997 for a three and a half year practice of silence
in the cave Swami Ji has spent many other periods in
silence, anything from three or six months up to a year.
Spending time in silence in both important and necessary for
Swami Ji to exist in this world.
Swami Ji would like to express to
people about his nature and his need for silence as a
person, while traveling with his work or whether at home in
the ashram he would encourage people to hug him or sit with
him in silence from time to time. Swami Ji would also like
to express to people that he is extremely approachable
and accessible if they would like to talk with and tell him
their problems, he will listen and try to heal them.
