"In the attitude of silence, the soul finds a path in the clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive draws itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after the truth."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
A very good afternoon everyone. :) It's been ever so long since I blogged, and it's good to be back. The last three weeks have been spent writing books, reading holy scripture and meeting blessed souls. I begin today's post by contemplating Mahatma Gandhi's saying above. 'Silence', what a beautiful state to experience. 'Silence', most try to fill it with words, noise, sound, activity, things etc. But 'silence', pure silence, is ever so deep, ever so embracing and encompassing that no matter how we try and fill it, there will be space for more.
Why are we so terrified of 'silence' that we simply must fill it with something? Are we afraid of our own state of being? What are we filling our silence with? Noise and clutter that keep us away from our true selves, our real pure nature, our very souls.
'Pure silence' reveals personal, spiritual voids and allows us to experience spiritual life as it is. It is in silence that we meet our selves and realise our true nature. Silence helps us realise that we're constantly running away from our true purpose. Most prefer ignoring these instances, as compared to facing them and enforcing spiritual change. Enforcing, yes in today's rush of a life, spiritual change needs to be enforced on oneself.
Contemporary physical life brings on such an assault on one's senses. It's ever so easy to get carried away and live for oneself... and there lies our folly. Acceptance of our silence and realisation of what we're about and how we're meant to be is the path to true deliverance. We must understand that not all internal voids are unnecessary, in fact, it is the void that brings us close to knowing our true nature. It is in solace, in silence, in aloneness that we meet our spiritual selves.
Not all of us may like what we see on our internal journey, however, being aware of our dislike of our own traits, help us make spiritual amends. Our race has a lot of questions regarding our situation in life, career etc. All the questions we ask have answers, and all those answers lie in response to just one basic question: "Who am I?"
All of us have our answer to this, it's time we withdrew ever so often and helped ourselves discover this answer, one step at a time. A part of this answer stays constant and always will, and a part of it may change depending on life's path. Our good Lord wants us to acknowledge and understand the 'constant' in this answer, he will take care of the rest.
The 'constant' helps us realise that we're all souls on a spiritual mission on Earth. Each of us have our own missions to fulfill (that's the variant in each of our paths), and all our missions are founded in love and truth (this is the constant). Life is about living spiritually and using our physical presence to bring about spiritual change... for ourselves and the rest of humanity.
I've discovered, I am here. The good Lord has put me here to help me fulfill my spiritual purpose and in effect help another fulfill theirs too. My life is about living it more for someone else than for myself. We've all been tremendously blessed by the good Lord, to be where we are, to realise our true purpose. It's time now to open our hearts, spread our wings and help another soul understand how beautiful silence is ad how the journey of self-discovery is the one journey each of our souls thirst for.
I am here for you, just as I know that you are here for me. Come let's discover a path that awaits our arrival, let's rediscover silence.
Have a fabulously blessed day everyone. :)
