Silence is a such a powerful emotion and a tool. One that can surely break the strongest physic. It has immense power to neutralize any powerful being and can shake anyone's peace of mind. This emotion is spoken about since many years now but its hard to practice.
Whether one uses silence as a weapon to battle 'The War of Egos' or as a surfing board to visit those profound thoughts of oneself 'To find answers', It is a sure shot winning formula, which has never failed.
I still remember, one of our professors in my bachelor studies spend so much time educating and requesting us to practice silence. This is almost 15 years back. At that time, I never paid any heed. Probably made fun of him thinking that he has lost his mind. How can one be silent? How can one look cool being silent? Silence is so boring!
Years down the lane, I slowly started getting into the noise and limelight of the cosmopolitan world. In this noise, I miss silence. I miss the place which offered me calmness, no attention, nothingness - my hometown. I yearn to go back to that nothingness. Today when I see people talking without thinking, lost in the noise, refusing to think and dive deep - I feel pity for them. They are ignoring the biggest gift of life, which is 'the ability to find answers' and it can only happen when you are willing to dive deep within, stay quiet, stay silent.
Life comes full circle - the concept that i ridiculed once, is my truth today.
Happy Silent Weekend!
